Monitoring of vegetation changes in Golestan province And a collection of international wetlands (Alma Gol, Alagol and Aji Gol) And the reasons are based on a two-time analysis of... by Azita Mehrani, Borhan Riazi, Seyed Ahmad Mirbagheri, Nematollah Khorasani

“…During this time, the study area underwent changes The biggest reductions include the destruction of a well-covered class from 31.94 to 1.66 percent and its conversion to other users.Also, 13.46 square kilometers of good coverage has become poor coverage Which included the surrounding wetlands, rocky areas and rural areas.Good coverage that minimized area reduction There were pasture lands in use Class changes with good coverage indicated a reduction in area and vegetation And the temperature will rise The results showed that NDVI is a good measure for evaluating and monitoring vegetation changes and proper rangeland management.…”

Research on the spatiotemporal evolution and mechanism of ecosystem service value in the mountain-river-sea transition zone based on “production-living-ecological space” —— Taking... by Lili Zhang, Baoqing Hu, Ze Zhang, Gaodou Liang

“…Their center of gravity as a whole shifts to the southeast, the ellipse area keeps expanding, and the center of gravity positions all remain in Nanning City. (3) ESV evolution is closely related to natural, economic, and social factors, with rocky desertification area and Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) having the most significant spatial differentiation effect on ESV provided by production space and ecological space, average altitude contributing more to ESV provided by living space, and interaction between various elements improving ESV differentiation from the perspective of PLES. …”

The social system of the lava lizard, Microlophus atacamensis: the interplay between social structure and social organization by Kaera Utsumi, Catherine Staley, Herman Núñez, Maria A. Eifler, Douglas A. Eifler

“…We use the frameworks of social structure and social organization to study the social system of Microlophus atacamensis, a lizard found in the rocky intertidal zone along the Chilean coast. The area M. atacamensis inhabits poses specific challenges stemming from their use of two distinct habitat types in the intertidal zone: they forage in the cool areas near the water’s edge and use large rocks in more inland areas for basking and refuge. …”
