Deforestation The deforestation of the planet is a fact2. Between 2000 and 2012, 2.3 million Km2 of forests around the world were cut down10 which amounts to 2 × 105 Km2 per year. At this rate all the forests would disappear approximatively in 100–200 years. Clearly it is unrealistic to imagine that the human society would start […] More
There is a clear and systematic difference in peat OM content and stoichiometry in organic soils between the four studied land use types in Switzerland. We presume that differences in OM content among land use types, as found here, mostly reflect drainage and land use effects, and are the result of long-lasting decomposition. Yet, it […] More
Electrolysis ecological floating bed design and eutrophic water In this research, the EEFBs and the traditional EFBs both had the same surface area of 1,089 m2 and were designed to compare their removal efficiencies in eutrophic waters under similar conditions. The EEFBs were made of polystyrene board 33 cm wide × 33 cm long × 5.5 cm thick. […] More
Sample collection Eighteen samples of mono-varietal Ogliarola campana EVOO were directly collected in Campania region (Southern Italy), among olive production areas ascribed to four regional PDOs (Fig. 1): Irpinia (IR, 7 samples), Colline Salernitane (CS, 4 samples), Penisola Sorrentina (PS, 5 samples) and Cilento (CI, 2 samples). The unbalanced experimental design was constrained by local and […] More

Plant materials and applied treatments The original plant materials were obtained from the seeds of the third-generation seed-orchard of Chinese fir species in Youxi National Farm, Fujian province. The seeds of each available genotype were planted in pots and the seedlings growth were evaluated. One superior Chinese fir clone (No. 7–14, propagated asexually) was chosen […] More

General features of collected samples and characteristics of sequenced data We analysed a total 16 adult samples (NWP1 n = 8; NWP2 n = 4; NWP3 n = 4) and 12 juvenile samples (NWP1 n = 6; NWP2 n = 6) from three cryptic species (NWP1, NWP2, and NWP3) in the grey mullet M. cephalus species complex in the Taiwan Strait during their spawning season.
