We report on a revisit in 2009 to sites where vegetation was recorded in 1967 and 1970 on Disko Island, West Greenland. Re-sampling of the same clones of the grass Phleum alpinum after 39 years showed complete stability in biometrics but dramatic earlier onset of various phenological stages that were not related to changes in population density. In a fell-field community, there was a net specie...

A new fungal species in the arbuscular mycorrhiza-forming Glomeromycetes, Entrophospora nevadensis, was isolated from soil near the roots of several endemic and endangered plant species (e.g. Plantago nivalis and Alchemilla fontqueri) growing in Sierra Nevada National Park (Granada, Andalucia, Spain). The fungus was propagated in trap cultures on Plantago nivalis and Sorbus hybrida and in pure ...

[1] Seismically, the African superplume is known to have a sharp lateral transition in VS and an interface between seismic anomalies with high relief. Such a structure is usually unstable in conventional thermo-chemical convection models. Using a compressible thermo-chemical convection model in which each material has a distinct equation of state, we find an expanded regime of metastable superp...

We determined the variations in seismic structure beneath southern California by using a tomographic method of inversion on teleseismic P delays recorded with the Southern California Array. The algorithm employed was a modified form of an Algebraic Reconstruction Technique (ART) used in medical X-ray imaging. Deconvolution with an empirically estimated point spread function was also used to hel...

This article analyzes the materials of “Set additions and changes to check-list flora Republic Buryatia from 2001 2020”. Corrections comments are given on 50 species higher vascular plants, both erroneously cited as novelties, and, contrary, absent original publication, regarding territory Baikalsky State Nature Reserve its buffer zone. Two taxa amongst omitted in source material included Red D...

The supplementary botanical list features 64 species of vascular plants which are new, rare or forgotten records from the Faroe Islands. They cumulative notes produced numerous excursions over two last decades. new described with who discovered them, and literature references given where appropriate. Some not discoveries for Faroes but have been found in localities missed most recent lists. als...
