A geotechnical investigation on a recent gigantic rock avalanche at the Patalganga-Langsi site on the Badrinath highway of chamoli, Uttarakhand (Garhwal Himalaya), India

Abstract Garhwal Himalaya is one of the most landslide-prone regions in the Himalayan Belt due to its seismo-tectonic background, geological complexity, climate, geomorphological setting and large-scale human interference. A gigantic rock a...

Spatial random downscaling of rainfall signals in Andean heterogeneous terrain

Remotely sensed data are often used as proxies for indirect precipitation measures over data-scarce and complex-terrain areas such as the Peruvian Andes. Although this information might be appropriate for some research requirements, the ext...

The surface temperatures of Earth: steps towards integrated understanding of variability and change

Surface temperature is a key aspect of weather and climate, but the term may refer to different quantities that play interconnected roles and are observed by different means. In a community-based activity in June 2012, the EarthTemp Network...

Microclimatic variations of land surface temperature on Galindez Island (western part of the Antarctic Peninsula)

The study presents analysis of microclimatic conditions on Galindez Island (western part of the Antarctic Peninsula), in particular: seasonal variability and spatial heterogeneity. Based on land surface temperature (LST) data derived from l...

Eleven years’ data of grassland management data in Germany

Estimating climate-induced ‘Nowhere to go’ range shifts of the Himalayan Incarvillea Juss. using multi-model median ensemble species distribution models

Global climate change threatens the range and resilience of species in the major biodiversity, particularly those in mountain regions. As the climatic conditions at high altitudes becomes suitable for colonization, many alpine plants experi...

AGRICULTURE AND PLANT SCIENCE INNOVATIONS

Agriculture and Plant Science Innovations is a comprehensive and forward-looking resource that bridges traditional agricultural knowledge with modern scientific advancements. This book is designed to provide readers with a deep understandin...

Multivariate analysis for agronomic, physiological, macro, and micronutrient traits of exotic vegetable amaranth genotypes

Abstract The genus amaranth is comprised of 60–70 species. This climate hardy plant is grown as a vegetable as well as cereal crop in many areas of the world. Current study multivariate analysis was used to characterize the exotic vegetable...

Ovule and seed development of crop plants in response to climate change

The ovule is a plant structure that upon fertilization, transforms into a seed. Successful fertilization is required for optimum crop productivity and is strongly affected by environmental conditions including temperature and precipitation....

Plant Science: Growth, Development, and Utilization of Cultivated Plants

unit one Environmental, Cultural, and Social Factors That Influence the Cultivation and Utilization of Plants 1 History, Trends, Issues, and Challenges in Plant Science 2 Terrestrial Ecosystems and Their Relationship to Cultivating Plants 3...

Climate change challenges, plant science solutions

Climate change is a defining challenge of the 21st century, and this decade is a critical time for action to mitigate the worst effects on human populations and ecosystems. Plant science can play an important role in developing crops with e...

Handbook of Plant Science

At a bookshelf-bending 4·5 kg, a bank-balance-denting £250, edited by a highly distinguished plant scientist, and released in the publisher's bicentenary year, you are entitled to expect something really special from this Handbook of Plant ...

Regional and strain-level prevalence of nitrogen-fixing Bradyrhizobium with potential N2O reduction in South Korea

Abstract Agricultural practices are the largest anthropogenic source of nitrous oxide (N2O), a potent greenhouse gas contributing to global climate change. Applying symbiotic microbial inoculants capable of complete denitrification offers a...

Evaluation of the polymorphism of the GDF9 and BMP15 genes and their relationship with the reproductive functions of sheep of different breeds

Aim. Polymorphism is the result of evolutionary processes and is inherited, associated with biodiversity and modified by natural selection and functions to preserve various forms of population. It is economically advantageous to find genes ...

Climate factors dominate the elevational variation in grassland plant resource utilization strategies

Specific leaf area (SLA) and leaf dry matter content (LDMC) are key leaf functional traits often used to reflect plant resource utilization strategies and predict plant responses to environmental changes. In general, grassland plants at dif...

Particulate matter, air quality and climate: lessons learned and future needs

The literature on atmospheric particulate matter (PM), or atmospheric aerosol, has increased enormously over the last 2 decades and amounts now to some 1500–2000 papers per year in the refereed literature. This is in part due to the enormou...

Abundance and Distribution of GDGTs in Incubated Artificial Soils with No Fossil Pool

Glycerol dialkyl glycerol tetraethers (GDGTs) derived from microorganisms are important tools for the study of paleoclimate changes. Incubation experiments are helpful to clarify the mechanisms for the responses of GDGTs to environmental pa...

North African humid periods over the past 800,000 years

Abstract The Sahara region has experienced periodic wet periods over the Quaternary and beyond. These North African Humid Periods (NAHPs) are astronomically paced by precession which controls the intensity of the African monsoon system. How...

Assessing the impact of the Kuroshio Current on vertical cloud structure using CloudSat data

This study analyzed CloudSat satellite data to determine how the warm ocean Kuroshio Current affects the vertical structure of clouds. Rainfall intensity around the middle troposphere (6 km in height) over the Kuroshio was greater than tha...

Radiative forcings for 28 potential Archean greenhouse gases

Despite reduced insolation in the late Archean, evidence suggests a~warm climate which was likely sustained by a stronger greenhouse effect, the so-called faint young sun problem (FYSP). CO2 and CH4 are generally thought to be the mainstays...
