ten gerbera cultivars (‘labinel’, ‘lilla’, ‘alp’, ‘alberino’, ‘bonnie’, ‘avemaria’, ‘mammut’, ‘lexus’, ‘‘terramixa ’ & ‘sarolta’) were evaluated for their growth, yield and quality characteristics under protected conditions during 2011. among the cultivars studied, there were highly significant variations observed for growth, yield and quality parameters. longest stalk length (60.3 cm) was ...

The Nielsen-Ninomiya Theorem has set up a ground rule for the minimal number of topological points in Brillouin zone. Notably, 2D zone, chiral symmetry and space-time inversion can properly define invariants as charges characterizing stability nodal so that non-zero protect these points. Due to charge neutralization, requires at least two stable entire However, additional crystalline symmetries...

The influence of territorial structures on the formation functional zones in protected areas is analysed. need to identify spatial combinations most valuable elements structure formulated. zone configuration determined by areal, linear and single structures. These are also components specialized frames. Influence location produced by: environmental framework (reserves, specially areas, educatio...

National reserve networks are one of the most important means of species conservation, but their efficiency may be diminished due to the projected climatic changes. Using bioclimatic envelope models and spatial data on habitats and conservation areas, we studied how efficient the reserve network will be in preserving 100 forest, mire, marshland, and alpine bird species of conservation concern i...

Zoning eco-protected areas is important for ecological conservation and environmental management. Rapid and continuous urban expansion, however, may exert negative effects on the performance of practical zoning designs. Various methods have been developed for protected area zoning, but most of them failed to consider the conflicts between urban development (for the benefit of land developers) a...

Assessing the status and monitoring the trends of land cover dynamics in and around protected areas is of utmost importance for park managers and decision makers. Moreover, to support the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD)’s Strategic Action Plan including the Aichi Biodiversity Targets, such efforts are necessary to set a framework to reach the agreed national, regional or global targets...

Artificial hard substrates have been used to stabilize naturally soft bay shorelines for centuries. Despite the loss of over half of the natural shoreline in many bays, little attention has been paid to the communities inhabiting armored shorelines and to the ecological implications of armoring. The goal of the present study was to examine factors affecting spatial and temporal variation of int...
