AbstractThis research was conducted in two farms with different management in north-east Slovakia. The aim of this study was to examine interrelationship between functional biochemical and microbial indicators of soil quality, and their suitability to differentiate areas under contrasting management regimes. Soil samples from two ecological and con...

Abstract—The long-term data (2000–2017) on the abundance of burbot larvae (Lota lota L., 1758) during the downstream migration from the spawning areas in the spawning tributaries of the Ob River (the Voykar and Sob rivers) and in feeding areas in the floodplain system are analyzed. The average absolute abundance of feeding burbot larvae was 12.4 mi...

Abstract—Characteristics of 27 subfossil spore–pollen spectra of recent plant communities in larch forests of Central Evenkia. Although larch forests dominate in the study region, the main components of the spectra are Betula sect. Betula and Alnus alnobetula subsp. fruticosa, whereas the proportion of Larix pollen is reduced relative to that of la...

Abstract—An ecologo-floristic approach and Tsyganov’s ecological indicator values have been used to analyze the effect of abiotic factors on the distribution of Аnemonastrum biarmiense (Juz.) Holub, a species endemic to the Southern Urals. The results show that this species has a wide range of tolerance to edaphic factors, with its synecological op...

Abstract—Changes in the state of herb–dwarf shrub layer near forest boundaries (the edge effect) were evaluated in anthropogenically fragmented southern taiga pine forests of the Middle Urals. Studies were performed in suburban forests of the Yekaterinburg urban agglomeration on 14 transects perpendicular to the forest edge that extended from it to...

Abstract—The current state of forest stands has been assessed in the most polluted part of East Ural Radioactive Trace (EURT) formed as a result of the Kyshtym accident in 1957. The main radionuclide in this area is 90Sr, with soil contamination density varying from 70 to 67 450 kBq/m2. Birch grass forests dominate in this territory, and more than ...

AbstractAlgal diversity of geothermal springs in Sri Lanka is poorly studied and remains largely unknown. In this study Temperature, Conductivity, pH, Dissolved Oxygen and Biological Oxygen Demand of Wahawa, Madunagala, Maha Oya and Kapurella geothermal springs have been measured using standard methods. Water samples with algal mats have been colle...

Abstract—It has recently become a matter of discussion whether it is correct to use regional tree-ring chronologies in spatiotemporal climate reconstructions, since natural and climatic conditions in the regions may be heterogeneous, varying on different scales (from micro to global). We have studied the response of tree-ring width to climate in Sc...

AbstractThe forest-steppe ecotone in southern Siberia is the natural transition zone from the dry steppe in the south to the wetter taiga in the north, where tree growth is increasingly limited due to drought. Within this zone, tree growth limitation is expected to intensify due to ongoing climate changes, reducing forest productivity, affecting tr...

Abstract—In the north-taiga larch forests of Siberia, on permafrost, there is a widespread phenomenon of crown dieback. To reveal the factors causing crown dieback, we have studied the structure of water-conducting system in the stems of stag-headed and healthy trees of Gmelin larch (Larix gmelinii (Rupr.) Rupr.). The analysis of distributions of e...
