Ontogeny and Early Steps of the Calcification Process in Coralline Algae Lithophyllum corallinae (Florideophyceae, Rhodophyta) by Rodrigo Tomazetto de Carvalho, Camila Hübner Costabile Wendt, Maria Julia Willemes, Ricardo da Gama Bahia, Marcos Farina, Leonardo Tavares Salgado

“…Coralline algae (Rhodophyta, Florideophyceae) are one of the most abundant organisms in the hard-bottom marine photic zone where they provide settlement substrates, structure and shelter on rocky substrates. Coralline algae also play important roles in tropical reefs, both cementing corals together and producing substantial amounts of calcium carbonate. …”

Electromagnetic Induction Is a Fast and Non-Destructive Approach to Estimate the Influence of Subsurface Heterogeneity on Forest Canopy Structure by Simon Damien Carrière, Nicolas K. Martin-StPaul, Claude Doussan, François Courbet, Hendrik Davi, Guillaume Simioni

“…However, the latter properties are particularly difficult to characterize in forest areas developed on karst, where soil is highly rocky and heterogeneous. In this work, we investigated whether geophysics, and more specifically electromagnetic induction (EMI), can provide a better understanding of forest structure. …”

Study of Slope Geological Hazard Susceptibility Valuation with Small Sample Based on CF and SVM by Yongan XUE, Yujie WANG, Jingcong ZHU, Haochen LI, Mingmei ZHANG

“…The distribution of disaster points account for 3.77%, 13.21%, 26.42%, and 56.60% of the total disaster points, and the frequency ratio is 0.08, 0.43, 1.71, and 6.66, respectively. 3) The very high sensitive areas of slope geological hazards in the study area are mainly distributed in the western loess hillyIgully area and the southeastern earthen and rocky mountain area along the trend of river system, while the low sensitive area extends outward from the high and medium sensitive area to the whole area.…”
