The Bay of Brest (BB) is a mixed, tide-dominated estuarine system. shore terraces this bay are occupied by modern free-living (calcareous) coralline algae locally termed “maerl”, organized in bed-like morphologies (rhodolith deposits). Cores retrieved from around the reveal fossilized primitive maerl beds Holocene age, interbedded sandy-silt sedimentation. alternation between biogenic construct...

Abstract Background Structures and functions of ecosystems and, subsequently, their services for human societies may be influenced by climate change atmospheric deposition. Jenssen et al. (UBA Texte 87/2013: 1–381, 2013) developed a spatially explicit evaluation system enabling the ecosystems’ integrity. This methodology is based on ecosystem classification forests. Based six ecological functio...

Ivanova I. Ye., T. A. Derendiayeva, G. I. Meleshko, Yeo Ya. Shepelev: Higher Plants in a Biological Life SupportSystemfor Man. Acta vet. Bmo 1996,65: 27-32. A model of human biological life support system (BLSS) was created with a photoautotrophic link including unicellular algae and higher plants having an equal oxygen production. This system model supported the vital activities of two people ...

The status of our knowledge of the roles of various sylvatic rodents in plague ecology in California is reviewed. Two theories, Pavlovsky's doctrine of focality of zoonotic diseases and Baltazard's proposal that plague is maintained in nature in resistant rodent species, form the framework for our understanding of the occurrence and persistence of plague. The concepts of resistance, reservoir s...
