A comprehensive review of rice mapping from satellite data: Algorithms, product characteristics and consistency assessment by Husheng Fang, Shunlin Liang, Yongzhe Chen, Han Ma, Wenyuan Li, Tao He, Feng Tian, Fengjiao Zhang

“…We found that 1) rice fields with simple cropping patterns and intensive cultivation can be correctly recognized using various algorithms; 2) different products share low consistency in fragmented rice fields 3) the prevalence of clouds and complicated rice cropping patterns or diverse growing environments in subtropical and tropical regions poses challenges to accurate rice mapping. …”

La movilidad diaria obligada en la Comunidad Valenciana entre 1991 y 2001: cambio territorial y nuevos procesos by Juan Miguel Albertos Puebla, Joan Noguera Tur, María Dolores Pitarch Garrido, Julia Salom Carrasco

“…Moreover, using the comarca as the territorial unit for analysis, we can see very different mobility growth rates. It is in the first and second metropolitan rings around the Valencia city where the highest flows growth is observed, both intra and inter comarcas; this is a fact underlying the marked metropolitan character of the process under way, although daily mobility is growing across the whole region.…”

Influences of Plant Species, Season and Location on Leaf Endophytic Bacterial Communities of Non-Cultivated Plants. by Tao Ding, Ulrich Melcher

“…The proportion of Alphaproteobacteria was much higher in the communities from Asclepias viridis than from other plant species and differed from month to month. The most dominant bacterial groups identified in LDA Effect Size analysis showed host-specific patterns, indicating mutual selection between host plants and endophytic bacteria and that leaf endophytic bacterial compositions were dynamic, varying with the host plant's growing season in three distinct patterns. …”
