This study aims to determine the current trends of paddy cultivation in Galle and Matara districts southern province Sri Lanka. Moreover, constraining factors for role extension services promote farming are also analyzed. The required data was gathered from field survey carried out using 400 farmers districts. majority lands have single ownership both while shallow bog soil dominant types field...

Climate change impacts the characteristics of vegetation carbon-uptake process in northern Eurasian terrestrial ecosystem. However, currently available direct CO2 flux measurement datasets, particularly for central Siberia, are insufficient understanding current condition carbon cycle. Here, we report daily and seasonal interannual variations fluxes associated abiotic factors measured using edd...

Liquefied natural gas (LNG)-fueled ships have the effect of reducing most pollutants, which is advantageous for responding to strict regulations. Because boil-off (BOG) generated in LNG storage tank an LNG-fueled ship, a BOG re-liquefaction system required. The representative systems were proposed by Kwak and Shen, but their exergy efficiencies only 19.6% 24.9%, respectively. To improve system,...

Zoltai, S.C. 1995. Regional variations in peatland ecosystems of west-central Canada through time. Gunneria 70: 35-42. Peatland ecosystems respond to major changes in their environment induced by prolonged changes in climate. In the western boreal region of Canada, permafrost occurs only in Sphagnum-dominated peatlands. In the north, the palsas and peat plateaus are associated with well-defined...

Viruses impact microbial activity and carbon cycling in various environments, but their diversity and ecological importance in Sphagnum-peatlands are unknown. Abundances of viral particles and prokaryotes were monitored bi-monthly at a fen and a bog at two different layers of the peat surface. Viral particle abundance ranged from 1.7 x 10(6) to 5.6 x 10(8) particles mL(-1), and did not differ b...

Ombrotrophic peatlands depend on airborne nitrogen (N), whose deposition has increased in the past and lead to disappearance of mosses and increased shrub biomass in fertilization experiments. The response of soil water content, temperature, and carbon gas concentrations to increased nutrient loading is poorly known and we thus determined these data at the long-term N fertilization site Mer Ble...
