Capturing the Impact of the 2018 European Drought and Heat across Different Vegetation Types Using OCO-2 Solar-Induced Fluorescence by Ankit Shekhar, Jia Chen, Shrutilipi Bhattacharjee, Allan Buras, Antony Oswaldo Castro, Christian S. Zang, Anja Rammig

“…The European heatwave of 2018 led to record-breaking temperatures and extremely dry conditions in many parts of the continent, resulting in widespread decrease in agricultural yield, early tree-leaf senescence, and increase in forest fires in Northern Europe. Our study aims to capture the impact of the 2018 European heatwave on the terrestrial ecosystem through the lens of a high-resolution solar-induced fluorescence (SIF) data acquired from the Orbiting Carbon Observatory-2 (OCO-2) satellite. …”

Insights into the relationships of Palearctic and Nearctic lymnaeids (Mollusca : Gastropoda) by rDNA ITS-2 sequencing and phylogeny of stagnicoline intermediate host species of Fas... by Bargues M.D., Horák P., Patzner R.A., Pointier J.P., Jackiewicz M., Meier-Brook C., Mas-Coma S.

“…The relatively low genetic distances between C. occulta and G. truncatula and the clustering of both species in the same clade suggest that C.occulta may be potentially considered as the second lymnaeid intermediate host species of F. hepatica in importance in eastern and northern Europe, and probably also western and central Asia, after G. truncatula. …”

Silver Birch (<i>Betula pendula</i> Roth.) on Dry Mineral Rather than on Deep Peat Soils Is More Dependent on Frozen Conditions in Terms of Wind Damage in the Eastern Baltic Region by Oskars Krišāns, Roberts Matisons, Jānis Vuguls, Steffen Rust, Didzis Elferts, Andris Seipulis, Renāte Saleniece, Āris Jansons

“…In Northern Europe, the ongoing winter warming along with increasing precipitation shortens the periods for which soil is frozen, which aggravates the susceptibility of forest stands to wind damage under an increasing frequency of severe wind events via the reduction in soil–root anchorage. …”
