Enhanced Satellite Monitoring of Dryland Vegetation Water Potential Through Multi‐Source Sensor Fusion

Abstract Drylands are critical in regulating global carbon sequestration, but the resiliency of these semi‐arid shrub, grassland and forest systems is under threat from global warming and intensifying water stress. We used synergistic satel...

The Concept of the Geotourism Potential and Its Practical Application: A Case Study of the Prządki (the Spinners) Nature Reserve in the Carpathians, Poland

This paper reviews the recent use of the term “geotourism potential” in the scientific literature and proposes a new approach to the concept of geotourism potential. The concept assumes that every geotourism object has the well-developed fe...

Two-Stage Framework for Efficient UAV-Based Wildfire Video Analysis With Adaptive Compression and Fire Source Detection

Uncrewed Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) have become increasingly important in disaster emergency response by facilitating aerial video analysis. Due to the limited computational resources available on UAVs, large models cannot be run efficiently fo...

The Beginning of a Wilson Cycle in an Accretionary Orogen: The Mongol–Okhotsk Ocean Opened Assisted by a Devonian Mantle Plume

Abstract The opening of oceans within accretionary orogens is important for understanding the Wilson cycle. The Mongol–Okhotsk Ocean (MOO) began opening within the early Paleozoic accretionary collage of the Central Asian Orogenic Belt (CAO...

A novel method for imitating true-triaxial stress path with conventional triaxial apparatus

Abstract The stress paths of the cylindrical specimen in the p–q stress space by controlling the ratio of the axial and the radial loading is guaranteed to be consistent with the cuboid specimen, a novel method for imitating true-triaxial s...

The mechanism of excavation-induced rockbursts in ultra-thick soft-hard composite coal seams at shallow depths: an experimental study

Abstract Ultra-thick soft-hard (UTSH) composite coal seams, composed of alternating layers of soft and hard coal, frequently experience severe rockburst accidents during roadway excavation under shallow burial depths (...

Validation of Sentinel-2 (MSI) and Sentinel-3 (OLCI) Water Quality Products in Turbid Estuaries Using Fixed Monitoring Stations

It is common in estuarine waters to place fixed monitoring stations, with the advantages of easy maintenance and continuous measurements. These two features make fixed monitoring stations indispensable for understanding the optical complexi...

Fractals and Chaos in Geology and Geophysics

The fundamental concepts of fractal geometry and chaotic dynamics, along with the related concepts of multifractals, self-similar time series, wavelets, and self-organised criticality, are introduced in this book, for a broad range of reade...

The Composition and Phosphorus Cycling Potential of Bacterial Communities Associated With Hyphae of Penicillium in Soil Are Strongly Affected by Soil Origin

Intimate fungal-bacterial interactions are widespread in nature. However the main drivers for the selection of hyphae-associated bacterial communities and their functional traits in soil systems remain elusive. In the present study, baiting...

Metabolic Analysis of Carotenoids and Phenolic Compounds Found in Green and Purple Kenaf

The chemical composition of the different plant parts of green ( Hibiscus cannabinus L. cv. Jangdae) and purple ( H. cannabinus L. cv. Jeokbong) kenaf cultivars were investigated using high-performance liquid chromatography. Ten carotenoid ...

Morpho-molecular approach reveals three novel endophytic fungi in Polyschema (Pleosporales, Latoruaceae) associated with roots of baobab trees in Yunnan, China

Endophytic fungi associated with roots of the baobab tree (Adansonia digitata L.) remain poorly documented in terms of species diversity worldwide. During an ongoing fungal survey in the dry-hot valleys of Honghe (Yunnan Province, China), f...

Eleven years’ data of grassland management data in Germany

Dynamics of Agriculture Subject Guides Usage at KSU Libraries [Abstract only] 

Scanning library literature, we found that there were few studies on how online library subject guides were used. One reason may be because librarians have only recently begun to publish their subject guides online. With the start of the ne...

X-ray crystal structure, UV–Vis and NMR spectroscopic, and molecular docking studies of pyribencarb isomers

Abstract The crystal structures of the pyribencarb E and Z stereoisomers were determined using single-crystal X-ray crystallography. The isomers were confirmed a single data respectively by crystal analysis, LC-UVD mass spectrometry, and NM...

New hydroperoxylated and 20,24-epoxylated dammarane triterpenes from the rot roots of Panax notoginseng

Background: Root rot is a serious destructive disease of Panax notoginseng, a famous cultivated araliaceous herb called Sanqi or Tianqi in Southwest China. Methods: The chemical substances of Sanqi rot roots were explored by chromatographic...

The StABI5-<i>StCAT1</i> Module Regulates Potato Resistance to Early Blight Through the ROS Signaling Pathway

Potato early blight is a fungal disease caused by Alternaria solani that seriously affects potato production. Catalase (CAT), an important antioxidant enzyme in plants, regulates the basal immune response to necrotrophic pathogens by decomp...
