Amazon Rainforest Exchange of Carbon and Subcanopy Air Flow: Manaus LBA Site—A Complex Terrain Condition by Julio Tóta, David Roy Fitzjarrald, Maria A. F. da Silva Dias

“…On the moderately complex terrain covered by dense tropical Amazon Rainforest (Reserva Biologica do Cuieiras—ZF2—02°36′17.1′′ S, 60°12′24.4′′ W), subcanopy horizontal and vertical gradients of the air temperature, CO2 concentration and wind field were measured for the dry and wet periods in 2006. We tested the hypothesis that horizontal drainage flow over this study area is significant and can affect the interpretation of the high carbon uptake rates reported by previous works at this site. …”

Spatial-Temporal Variability of the δ18O Values and the Snow Cover Structure on the Territory of the Meteorological Observatory of the Lomonosov Moscow State University by S. A. Sokratov, A. Yu. Komarov, Yu. K. Vasil’chuk, N. A. Budantseva, J. Yu. Vasil’chuk, Yu. G. Seliverstov, P. B. Grebennikov, D. M. Frolov

“…This suggests that the post-precipitated change in the isotopic composition of snow cover for the conditions of the investigated site mainly took place when the snow was exposed to the atmosphere (due to sublimation and evaporation), while the processes of dry and wet metamorphism were either less important or even led to leveling the effects of isotopic fractionation. …”

Meteorological conditions and avalanche danger of winters in the Caucasus at the end of the 21^st century based on the results of CMIP6 models by I. A. Korneva, A. D. Oleynikov, P. A. Toropov, N. E. Varentsova, N. V. Kovalenko

“…Therefore, the background forecast of avalanche danger for the years 2071–2100 can be formulated as follows: a significant decrease in the frequency of the most destructive large avalanches from dry snow in high-mountain areas and their disappearance in mid-mountain areas, and a tendency to an increase in the number of less dangerous avalanches from loose and wet snow.…”

Dynamics of humus in field crop rotations on drained lands by Yu. I. Mitrofanov, N. K. Pervushina

“…The impact on the dynamics of humus of hydrothermal conditions has been established. In years with a dry first half of the growing season, an increase in humus content is observed; in excessively wet years, on the contrary, a decrease is observed. …”

Increasing the fungal inoculation of mine tailings from 1 to 2% decreases plant oxidative stress and increases the soil respiration rate by Aurora Neagoe, Minodora Manu, Marilena Onete, Luiza-Silvia Mihai, George Dincă, Denisa Jianu, Stelian Ion, Virgil Iordache

“…This improvement was related to differences between the Technosols properties at the end of the experiment (pH, EC, N-NH4 +, N-NO3 −), which modulated the changes of the tailing material properties from the wet to the dry state, and to differences in the accumulation factors of Cu and Pb from substrate to plant roots, and of the transfer factors from roots to aboveground parts. …”

The Protective Effects of the Supercritical-Carbon Dioxide Fluid Extract of Chrysanthemum indicum against Lipopolysaccharide-Induced Acute Lung Injury in Mice via Modulating Toll-L... by Xiao-Li Wu, Xue-Xuan Feng, Chu-Wen Li, Xiao-Jun Zhang, Zhi-Wei Chen, Jian-Nan Chen, Xiao-Ping Lai, Sai-Xia Zhang, Yu-Cui Li, Zi-Ren Su

“…ALI was induced by intratracheal instillation of LPS into lung, and dexamethasone was used as a positive control. Results revealed that pretreatment with CFE abated LPS-induced lung histopathologic changes, reduced the wet/dry ratio and proinflammatory cytokines productions (TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-6), inhibited inflammatory cells migrations and protein leakages, suppressed the levels of MPO and MDA, and upregulated the abilities of antioxidative enzymes (SOD, CAT, and GPx). …”

Uncovering rain-fed resilience power of grass pea in Iran using AMMI, BLUP, and multi-trait stability parameters by Hamid Hatami Maleki, Behrouz Vaezi, Reza Pirooz, Reza Darvishzadeh, Mohsen Modareskia, Somayyeh Dadashi, Gniewko Niedbała

“…Here, 16 grass pea genotypes were examined in four rain-fed regions during 2016–2017, 2017–2018, and 2018–2019. Dry fodder yield (DY), plant height (PH), days to flowering (DF), and wet fodder yield (WY) were recorded across 12 test environments. …”

Woolway

“…Within each cluster, we observe three seasonal patterns of chlorophyll-a concentration tied to wet and dry seasons. These patterns align with regional climatic threats in Africa, such as shifts in rainfall seasonality, altered frequency of tropical cyclones and wildfires, thus positioning our study as a framework to assess lake vulnerability across the sub-Sahelian region.…”
