The Value of Private Non-Industrial Forestland for Wildlife Species Conservation by Shelly A. Johnson, Timm Kroeger, Josh Horn, Alison E. Adams, Damian C. Adams

“… Animals in Florida provide a variety of benefits to people, from recreation (fishing, hunting, or wildlife viewing) to protection of human life and property (oysters and corals provide reef structures that help protect coasts from erosion and flooding). By measuring the economic value of these benefits, we can assign a monetary value to the habitats that sustain these species and assess the value that is lost when development or other human-based activities degrade animal habitat. …”

Late Pennsylvanian vegetation dynamics of the Donets Basin, Ukraine by Nataliya Boyarina

“…The new plant communities of wetland calamitalean-fern-pteridosperm woodlands on coastal lowlands and seasonally dry fern-pteridosperm woodlands on lagoon coasts in the late Gzhelian were formed according to the migration progressive model of phytocoenogenesis due to a migration of plants from reduced river landscapes to coastal lowlands and lagoon coasts in the period of the further sea level drop with low-amplitude sea level oscillations and an increased drying during the continued late Gzhelian glacial interval. …”

Interannual Variability of the Indonesian Throughflow in the Makassar Strait Associated With the 2015/2016 Super El Niño by Wending Xu, Dongliang Yuan, Mingting Li

“…These anomalies of the Makassar Strait throughflow in the upper layer are found to be induced mainly by Indian Ocean Kelvin waves forcing sea surface height anomalies off the south Java coasts. The sub‐thermocline current anomalies are found to be generated by the westward and downward propagation of interannual Rossby waves from the central equatorial Pacific during and after the 2015/2016 El Niño. …”
