CHANGES IN SPECIES COMPOSITION IN ALPINE SNOWBEDS WITH CLIMATE CHANGE INFERRED FROM SMALL-SCALE SPATIAL PATTERNS

Changes in species composition in alpine snowbeds with climate change inferred from small-scale spatial patterns

Alpine snowbeds are characterised by a very short growing season.However, the length of the snow-free period is increasingly prolonged due to climate change, so that snowbeds become susceptible to invasions from neighbouring alpine meadow communities.We hypothesised that spatial distribution of species generated by plant interactions may indicate w

Influence of the Screw Positioning on the Stability of Locking Plate for Proximal Tibial Fractures: A Numerical Approach

Tibial fractures are common injuries in people.The proper treatment of these fractures is important in order to Fiber Comb recover complete mobility.The aim of this work was to investigate if screw positioning in plates for proximal tibial fractures can affect the stability of the system, and if it can consequently influence the patient healing tim

Why Do Green Parties Emerge?

The emergence of Green parties has long been explained by the development of post-materialist values in advanced democracies.This article takes a somewhat different perspective, by reassessing the importance of institutional and strategic variables.The comparison between the British and the German cases reinforces the notion that post-materialist v
