Schools in the Ukrainian Carpathian mountain region work in specific conditions. They have original traditions, a special nature of learning and work. Indeed, because of a remote location mountain village school becomes ...

IntroductionThe health of grassland ecosystems is of great significance for regional ecological security. The alpine grassland is fragile and sensitive to climate change and human activities, but studies on the assessmen...

The experimental tests are carried out on the strength and deformation characteristics of four typical rock samples of phyllite taken from the northern tunnels of Longmen Mountains of the Chengdou-Lanzhou Railway. The re...

The Paranapiacaba Mountains are a region of Brazil where the stonefly fauna is relatively well known. Despite this, there are still gaps in knowledge that need to be filled. In this study, through field sampling and mole...

En los ecosistemas de montaña, la distribución de la vegetación a lo largo del gradiente altitudinal fue tradicionalmente interpretada en términos de la temperatura decreciente desde la base hacia arriba; pero los fu...

ABSTRACT The fungi diversity in Brazil is not fully known yet, mainly in Serra de Maracaju, which is located in the central portion of the State of Mato Grosso do Sul, in the center-western region of Brazil. Samples were...

We explore the hidden diversity of the terrestrial frog genus Niceforonia, based on phylogenetic and morphological evidence, we describe two new species. Both species are found in pristine unexplored old-growth forest of...

Early enrichment of non-pioneer tree species in forest restoration sites is challenging, especially where nurse trees and soil nutrients have been lost promoting sapling dieback and death from sun, wind, and frost exposu...

A checklist of rust fungi of the Nuratau Nature Reserve (Nuratau Mountains, Uzbekistan) was compiled for the first time as a result of field research conducted in 2009–2022. In total, 70 species of rust fungi belongin...

Abstract While the interbreeding of Homo neanderthalensis (hereafter Neanderthal) and Anatomically modern human (AMH) has been proven, owing to the shortage of fossils and absence of appropriate DNA, the timing and geogr...

Abstract We present a first global high-resolution map (30 m x 30 m) of high-altitudinal wetlands in the world’s major mountain regions, i.e. the Andes, Rocky Mountains, Alps and High Mountain Asia. To map these we...

Abstract Background Dengue fever is hyperendemic in the Lao People’s Democratic Republic (PDR), where transmission is driven by Aedes mosquitoes and influenced by large-scale climatic phenomena, including the El Niño-...

The most active winter synoptic-scale wave patterns over South America are identified using an extended empirical orthogonal function (EEOF) technique and are physically diagnosed using composite methods. Results show th...

This study examines the ecological relationship between host trees and epiphytic plants in Loksado Forest, South Kalimantan, Indonesia. The findings of the research are expected to provide a scientific basis for local co...

The seed cone Telemachus is known from several Triassic localities in Gondwana. New specimens from two localities in Antarctica provide additional information about the type species, Telemachus elongatus, based on detail...

A hybrid technique, FEM-IBIEM is developed for studying the scattering of seismic waves by a 3-D complex local site. The indirect boundary integral equation method (IBIEM) adopts the dynamic Green's functions of concentr...
