Interest in stressful conditions is rising with increasing the recognition that global changes can negatively affect plant diversity and ecosystem function. It is known that arbuscular mycorrhizas (AM) permit the plant to perform better under stressful and unfavorable conditions, recruiting their symbiont in the soil. Recent reports on plant growth under different levels of stress and AM accoun...

Due to their spatial complexity and dynamic nature, floodplains provide a wide range of ecosystem functions. However, because of flow regulation, many riverine floodplains have lost their characteristic heterogeneity. Restoration of floodplain habitats and the rehabilitation of key ecosystem functions, many of them linked to organic carbon (C) dynamics in riparian soils, has therefore become a ...

This study evaluated the validity of invertebrate diversity for evaluating condition minesite rehabilitation. Because aim rehabilitation mined lands in this region is to establish a self-sustaining ecosystem that resembles “bushland,” variety remnant woodlands vicinity were selected as reference sites. Reference sites encompassed range soil types (alluvial, coarse-textured, or clay) and underst...

introduction: age-related decreases in cognitive functions such as executive functions are a common phenomenon. cognitive rehabilitation with two main approaches, compensation and remediation, is used to help elderlies coping with these deficits. despite reported benefits, there are doubts on the efficacy of each of these approaches. we tried to provide effective computerized cognitive tasks as...

Human-induced disturbance has substantially influenced the structure and function of terrestrial ecosystems globally. However, extent to which multiple ecosystem functions (multifunctionality) recover following anthropogenic (ecosystem recovery) remains poorly understood. We report on first study examining temporal dynamics in recovery multifunctionality from 3 12 years after commencement rehab...

using theater in the treatment as well as education traced back to several thousand years ago. in fact, drama therapy has been used for a long time in clinics and rehabilitation/treatment centers. children theater experts intend to adopt this approach outside of the confined framework of clinics and make it as a general method in the society. in other words, let it face the theater’s large audi...
