The province of Central Kalimantan contains about three million hectares of peatland, which is one of the largest unbroken tropical peatland areas in the world. Peat swamp forest (PSF) is among the earth's most endangered and least known ecosystem (12). They have a huge carbon storage capacity and are extremely fragile and liable to disturbance (10). Local communities have used them extensively...

A healtb.y understory comrmmity is a key factor in maintain@ the biodiversity of longleaf pine (Pinus palustris) Stands, and there 1 appears to be a strong relationship between the occurrence of fire and the condition of the understory vegetauon. Generally, the mulerstory is bakhier in burned areas than in those not burned. TO assess the USC of prescribed 8~ in restoring and maintaining the 1 h...

High-precision land-cover-land-use GIS mapping was performed in four major townships in Maine’s Aroostook River Valley, using on-screen digitization and direct interpretation of very high spatial resolution satellite multispectral imagery (15–60 cm) and high spatial resolution LiDAR data (2 m) and the field mapping method. The project not only provides the first-ever high-precision land-use map...

irrigated barley is grown on about 50,000 hectares in the warm agro-climate zone in the south of iran. the average grain yield of barley in these areas is 2,000 kg/ha. wide adaptability and high grain yield stability are important assets for barley varieties to be grown by farmers. zahak barley cultivar was initially selected from international barley germplasm received from cymmit and based on...

West Borneo has 1.73 million hectares of peatland areas. Therefore, people consume drinking water derived from rainwater or mountain water. In line with that, they also have a high caries rate. This consumption might role in incidence. Besides, substrate, agent, host, and time could become other influence factors. study aims to determine the factors that affect dental Borneo’s peat areas based ...

The activity of forest fires has greatly increased in recent years Central Yakutia. This can lead to the radical transformation permafrost landscapes and their degradation. study aimed determine effects climatic conditions on fire this area. We analyzed data air temperature rainfall during season from 2000 2020. total annual burned areas have noticeably since 2000s. Forest covered an area more ...

The Umbria Region of Central Italy has a long history of mass movements. Landslides range from fast moving rock falls and debris flows, most abundant in mountain areas, to slow moving complex failures extending up to several hectares in the hilly part of the Region. Despite landslides occurring every year in Umbria, their impact remains largely unknown. We present an estimate of the impact of s...

Abstract Private lands are important for conservation worldwide, but knowledge about their effectiveness is still insufficient. To help fill this gap, we analyzed the impacts of a national policy on private in Brazil, global biodiversity hotspot with high potential nature-based climate solutions. Through evaluation over 4 million rural properties from Rural Environmental Cadastre, found that la...

OBJECTIVE To assess the prevalence of HLA-B27 and its subtypes in both the normal population and in patients with Ankylosing Spondylitis (AS) in Galicia, Northwest Spain. METHODS The prevalence of HLA-B27 in the normal population was determined by checking the number of HLA-B27 positive samples in 308 subjects from different areas of Galicia who had donated organs over a period of 4 years. A ...
