Qu’est-ce qu’un médium artistique ? by Michel Guérin

“…Tant qu’on ne rompt pas avec le vieil hylémorphisme – qui détermine l’Idée (ou Forme) à proportion qu’il indétermine une matière passive et amorphe –, on manque deux traits essentiels du médium : sa particularité idiotique et sa véritable dimension « matérielle » synonyme de complexité dans l’immanence d’un procès transformateur. C’est ainsi qu’un médium est tout ensemble un matériau à la tournure spécifique, un milieu matriciel, un faisceau de moyens et un réseau d’échanges très denses entre le hasard et la nécessité (l’accident, voire l’anecdote, et l’intention principale) ; sans compter que l’œuvre, résultat de ses médiations intérieures où se dialectisent sa puissance et ses limites, revêt un aspect médiumnique. …”

Hiking Trails Facilitate the Spread of a Native High‐Arctic Species by Deborah Zani, Heike Lischke, Jonas Åkerman, Veiko Lehsten

“…A randomisation test showed that P. dahlianum has a significant preference for gravel soils with low vegetation cover due to either trail trampling and/or natural processes. Along with climate warming, human activities can increase the rate of species range shift by providing hot spots of introduction (human settlements) and spreading corridors (hiking trails). …”

Emissions of Nitrous Oxide and Nitric Oxide from Soils of Native and Exotic Ecosystems of the Amazon and Cerrado Regions of Brazil by Eric A. Davidson, Mercedes M.C. Bustamante, Alexandre de Siqueira Pinto

“…No measurements of NO from agricultural soils in the Cerrado region have been made, but we speculate that they could be more important than N2O emissions in this relatively dry climate. While a consistent pattern is emerging from these studies in the Amazon region, far too few data exist for the Cerrado region to assess the impact of land use changes on N oxide emissions.…”
