A range of recombinant DNA techniques now enables whole genome analysis of any bacterium to be carried out without recourse to the classical means of bacterial genetic exchange. Using enzymes which cut infrequently, such as SpeI, combined with pulsed field gel electrophoresis, a physical map of ordered fragments can be constructed. By means of cloned fragments of known genes or oligonucleotides...

European lowland beech stands are under pressure by current climate change and increased drought spells. Climate sensitivity of trees is most commonly studied examining tree-ring width records wood density-based time series, yet the potential latter underexplored for hardwoods (Fagus sylvatica L.) in particular. Here, we investigate how variability radial growth, Maximum Latewood Density (MXD) ...

This paper investigates the impacts of climate change on groundwater droughts making use regional projections and standardized indices: Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI), Evapotranspiration (SPEI) Groundwater (SGI). The method adopted, using historical precipitation temperature data water levels collected in monitoring wells, first possible correlations between meteorological indices at ea...
