Modern pollen assemblages from grazed vegetation in the Pyrenees Mountains (France) were studied with the aim of providing a calibrated model for reconstructing past pastoral activities. The modern analogues were selected to cover the major gradients of gr ...
Question: What is the effect of gap size on the seedling emergence, growth and survival of four common tree species in wooded pastures? Location: A pasture in the Jura mountains, Switzerland. Methods: Seeds were sown in a complete three-way factorial desig ...
A cell-grid method was used to survey seasonal changes in four herbaceous communities of a wooded pasture. Permanent plots consisted in 1-m3 grids subdivided into 100 cells of 1 dm2. In each cell of each plot and every month from May to September, we estim ...
Previous studies have shown the existence of a vertical micro-distribution of testate amoebae in the first centimeters of Sphagnum and their response to nutrient enrichment. In order to test the response of testate amoebae to depth and N addition in dry mo ...
Interaction of N2O at low temps. (473-603 K) with Fe-ZSM-5 zeolites (Fe, 0.01-2.1 wt%) activated by steaming and/or thermal treatment in He at 1323 K was studied by the transient response method and temp.-programmed desorption (TPD). Diffuse reflectance IR ...
Large numbers of Scots pine are dying in the dry inner-alpine valleys of the European Alps; in Switzerland, locally almost half the Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) population has died since 1995. As Switzerland's temperature has increased at more than twi ...
Toluene interaction with the catalysts consisting of 0.35, 0.62, 0.75 and 3.7 monolayers (ML) of VOx supported on anatase–titania, containing potassium, was studied by transient response techniques at 523–673 K. FT-Raman spectroscopy under dehydrated condi ...
APOBEC3G (also known as CEM15) is an innate intracellular antiretroviral factor that is counteracted by the Vif protein of lentiviruses. While APOBEC3G orthologues from several species are active against a broad range of retroviruses, given Vif proteins ha ...
Sample prepn. and ligand complex prepn. of Hb I from Lucina pectinata were performed to obtain ultrafast data on ferric HbI-NO, HbI-N3, HbI-H2S and metHbI complexes that suggest a mechanism for the photoinduced redn. of HbI species. Formation of a transien ...
Transient response and temperature-programmed desorption/reaction (TPD/TPR) methods were used to study the formation of adsorbed NOx from N2O and its effect during N2O decomposition to O2 and N2 over FeZSM-5 catalysts at temperatures below 653 K. The react ...
