Synchronous crop failures and climate-forced production variability by Anderson, W. B., Seager, R., Baethgen, W., Cane, M., You, Liangzhi

“…We find that the El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO), the Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD), tropical Atlantic variability (TAV), and the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) together account for 18, 7, and 6% of globally aggregated maize, soybean, and wheat production variability, respectively. …”

Integrating spatial dynamics for sustainable water management at the river basin scale: the example of the Krishna River Basin in South India by Venot, Jean-Philippe

“…This has resulted in over-commitment of water: more water is used than is environmentally desirable or than is renewably available, leading to basin closure (zero or minimal flow to the ocean). As basin closure intensifies the interconnectedness of ecosystems and water users, adjustments and management decisions become tantamount to a spatial re-appropriation of water. …”

Seasonal atmospheric and oceanographic factors influencing poleward mangrove expansion in the southeastern American coast by Ximenes, A.C., Ponsoni, L., Lira, C.F., Dahdouh-Guebas, F., Koedam, N.

“…In this work, we analyze key environmental variables (such as the longest available observational in-situ records of air temperature) and provide an assessment of other environmental players (such as the adjacent ocean circulation and upwelling system) to better understand which factors could be determinant in the species range limits in eastern South America. …”

De novo characterization of skeletal muscle transcriptome of Atlantic herring (Clupea harengus) using Next Generation Sequencing NGS) : effect of quality and length trimming on tra... by Lamichhaney, Sangeet

“…Atlantic herring (Clupea harengus), one of the most abundant fish species on earth is an economically important marine species that is found in the Baltic Sea and on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean. Although it has been a popular species for marine fish population studies since long, yet the genomic information for Atlantic herring is scarce. …”
