In the last few decades, Mekong Delta coastlines have suffered serious erosion. Strong waves during Northeast Monsoon are one of main reasons for this. Many types breakwaters with different structural components been designed and built to mitigate coastline Vertical seawalls widely used, but they create reflection waves, which can generate water particle kinematics in front structure increase t...

Global land cover dynamics alter energy, water, and greenhouse gas exchange between atmosphere, affecting local to global weather climate change. Although reforestation can provide localized cooling, ongoing use (LULC) shifts are expected exacerbate urban heat island impacts. In this study, we monitored spatiotemporal changes in green response transformation associated with the Khyber Pakhtunkh...

Thinning treatment is a necessary and complex forestry activity. The experimental results from plantations established 20-30 years ago explains some concepts of the theory, practice, methods, regime thinning on permanent sample plots pine stands in Gatchinsky Leningrad region were shown this article. Choosing right method allows to optimize yield, productivity mortality stand. On other hand, we...

The development of GIS based methodologies supports a program for monitoring the territorial dynamics that are occurring in the Estorãos rural watershed (NW Portugal). GIS integrates spatial databases from different research and development projects, with the purpose of understanding: (i) the relationships between land use processes and changes, and environmental management policies; (ii) the e...

The Late Miocene development of faunas and environments in western Eurasia is well known, but the climatic and environmental processes that controlled its details are incompletely understood. Here we map the rise and fall of the classic Pikermian fossil mammal chronofauna between 12 and 4.2 Ma, using genus-level faunal similarity between localities. To directly relate land mammal community evol...

Small humic forest lakes often have high contributions of methane-derived carbon in their food webs but little is known about the temporal stability of this carbon pathway and how it responds to environmental changes on longer time scales. We reconstructed past variations in the contribution of methanogenic carbon in the pelagic food web of a small boreal lake in Finland by analyzing the stable...

Various viewpoints were proposed to explain the causes of recent years’ severe drought occurred in Yunnan and Guizhou, China. In general there are two parties of viewpoints, the Eucalyptus cause and climate change cause. I think Yunnan-Guizhou drought has been mainly caused by abnormal climate change. Eucalyptus was not significant in the formation of Yunnan-Guizhou drought. However, the forest...

Trichinella spp. are some of the most widespread parasites infecting people and other mammals all over the world, regardless of climate. This paper attempts to describe the present status of trichinellosis worldwide and to determine if and why trichinellosis is emerging or re-emerging. The global prevalence of the disease is difficult to evaluate but as many as 11 million people may be infected...
