A Review on Modeling Environmental Loading Effects and Their Contributions to Nonlinear Variations of Global Navigation Satellite System Coordinate Time Series

Nonlinear variations in the coordinate time series of global navigation satellite system (GNSS) reference stations are strongly correlated with surface displacements caused by environmental loading effects, including atmospheric, hydrologic...

Modernizing GNSS data acquisition, pre-processing, and distribution at volcanological observatories

In recent years, the field of geodetic monitoring is undergoing a profound transformation driven by the transition from GPS-only positioning to a fully multi-GNSS environment. With Galileo, BeiDou, and modernized GPS & GLONASS constella...

Mathematical Geophysics

Aimed at graduate students, researchers and academics in mathematics, engineering, oceanography, meteorology, and mechanics, this text provides a detailed introduction to the physical theory of rotating fluids, a significant part of geophys...

Geophysics for the Mineral Exploration Geoscientist

Providing a balance between principles and practice, this state-of-the-art overview of geophysical methods takes readers from the basic physical phenomena, through the acquisition and processing of data, to the creation of geological models...

Exploration Geophysics

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems

Giant seafloor depressions are formed by an interaction of bottom currents and pre-existing seafloor topograph Initial seafloor depressions are initiated by slope failure processes...

Handbook of Agricultural Geophysics

Precision farming, site infrastructure assessment, hydrologic monitoring, and environmental investigations- these are just a few current and potential uses of near-surface geophysical methods in agriculture. Responding to the growing demand...

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...

Applied Geophysics

This is the completely revised and updated version of the popular and highly regarded textbook, Applied Geophysics. It describes the physical methods involved in exploration for hydrocarbons and minerals, which include gravity, magnetic, se...

Green synthesis of silver nanoparticles using terrestrial fern (Gleichenia Pectinata (Willd.) C. Presl.): characterization and antimicrobial studies

Novel silver nanoparticles from Gleichenia Pectinata (Willd.) C. Presl. was synthesized. A combination of spectroscopic and microscopic techniques were utilized to characterize the newly synthesized Gleichenia Pectinata Silver Nanoparticles...

Impacts of introduced Rangifer on ecosystem processes of maritime tundra on subarctic islands

Abstract Introductions of mammalian herbivores to remote islands without predators provide a natural experiment to ask how temporal and spatial variation in herbivory intensity alter feedbacks between plant and soil processes. We investigat...

Multi-gene phylogeny and morphological characters reveal seven new species of Micropsalliota (Agaricales, Agaricaceae) from southern China, with an updated key for the species distributed in China

Species of Micropsalliota generally grow in the tropics and are characterised by small, slender basidiomes, brown basidiospores, and cheilocystidia that vary in shape with capitate or subcapitate apex, and pigmented pileipellis. Based on mo...

Weed Management by In Situ Cover Crops and Anaerobic Soil Disinfestation in Plasticulture

Weeds negatively affect organic vegetable crop growth and profitability. Weed management is the greatest challenge for vegetable organic growers since control options are limited for organic vegetable production. Anaerobic soil disinfestati...

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...

Roots to roofs: Farmers' perceived socio-ecological impacts of converting mango orchards to urban areas in Multan, Pakistan

The process of urban growth often results in the conversion of agricultural spaces, including orchards. In Pakistan, Multan - widely known as the city of Mangoes - has seen exponential urban growth in the past couple of decades, resulting i...

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

Endophytic Bacillus spp. as a Prospective Biological Tool for Control of Viral Diseases and Non-vector Leptinotarsa decemlineata Say. in Solanum tuberosum L.

Viral diseases and their damage causing significant loss to economically important crops have increased by several folds during the last decade. All the conventional approaches are not able to eradicate the viral infection. Therefore, there...
