Importance of soil NO emissions for the total atmospheric NOx budget of Saxony, Germany by Molina Herrera, S., Haas, E., Grote, R., Kiese, Ralf, Klatt, Steffen, Kraus, David, Kampffmeyer, t., Friedrich, R., Andreae, H., Loubet, B., Ammann, C., Horváth, L., Larsen, K., Gruening, C., Frumau, A., Butterbach-Bahl, Klaus

“…However, simulated day to day variations of NO did only agree weakly with high temporal resolution measurements, though agreement between simulations and measurements significantly increased if data were aggregated to weekly, monthly and seasonal time scales. The model reproduced NO emissions from high and low emitting sites, and responded to fertilization (mineral and organic) events with pulse emissions. …”

Acaulospora minuta, a new arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal species from subSaharan savannas of West Africa by Oehl, F., Palenzuela, J., Sánchez Castro, I., Hountondji, F.C.C., Tchabi, A., Lawouin, L., Barea, J-M., Coyne, Danny L., Silva, G.A. da

“…A new arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungal species of the genus Acaulospora (Glomeromycota) was frequently recovered from both undisturbed and cultivated agro-ecosystems of sub-Saharan West Africa, namely in Benin. It abundantly reproduced spores in trap cultures using Sorghum bicolor, Dioscorea cayenensis and Dioscorea rotundata in the glasshouse, and pure, monosporic cultures were readily established on Hieracium pilosella and Sorghum bicolor. …”

Application of a flood inundation model to analyze the potential impacts of a flood control plan in Mundeni Aru River Basin, Sri Lanka by Yoshimoto, Shuhei, Amarnath, Giriraj

“…The calibrated model was also capable of evaluating flood mitigation effects of existing and proposed water storage options by simulating discharge with and without flood capture operations. By reproducing long-term inflow to the storage facilities using satellite rainfall data, it was possible to determine that water would reach the maximum level of the proposed storage facilities even during low-rainfall years.…”
