Colour Association with Music Is Mediated by Emotion: Evidence from an Experiment Using a CIE Lab Interface and Interviews. by PerMagnus Lindborg, Anders K Friberg

“…The method was used in an experiment where 27 film music excerpts were presented to participants (n = 22) who continuously manipulated the colour and size of an on-screen patch to match the music. Analysis of the data replicated and extended earlier research, for example, that happy music was associated with yellow, music expressing anger with large red colour patches, and sad music with smaller patches towards dark blue. …”

Size matters: larger fragments of riparian forest in urban areas support functional diversity of soil bacteria more than smaller ones by Gabriela Koster, Małgorzata Jaźwa, Sebastian Wojciech Przemieniecki, Łukasz Musielok, Hamed Azarbad, Beata Klimek

“…Soil microorganisms are relatively poorly studied in urban ecosystems, particularly within unmanaged woodlands that form island-like patches of vegetation. We surveyed soil bacteria on Salix spp. dominated riparian-like forest patches in Kraków, the second largest city in Poland, to find out which environmental factors influence their activities and functional diversity, measured using Biolog® ECO plates. …”
