Boreal forests cover over half of the global permafrost area and protect underlying permafrost. Boreal forest development, therefore, has an impact on permafrost evolution, especially under a warming climate. Forest disturbances and changing climate conditions cause veg...

Peatland biogeochemical processes have not been adequately represented in existing earth system models, which might have biased the quantification of Arctic carbon-climate feedbacks. We revise the Peatland Terrestrial Ecosystem Model (PTEM) by incorporating additional p...

Oil spillage over a sea or ocean surface is a threat to marine and coastal ecosystems. Spaceborne synthetic aperture radar (SAR) data have been used efficiently for the detection of oil spills due to their operational capability in all-day all-weather conditions. The pr...

Abstract Background Recent declines of honeybees and simplifications of wild bee communities, at least partly attributed to changes of agricultural landscapes, have worried both the public and the scientific community. To understand how wild and managed bees respond to ...
