Lagrangian modelling reveals sediment pathways at evolving coasts by Bart van Westen, Matthieu A. de Schipper, Stuart G. Pearson, Arjen P. Luijendijk

“…While we can quantify net morphological changes, this alone provides incomplete understanding of coastal evolution as similar morphological states can result from vastly different sediment movement patterns. Coastline perturbations-deviations from straight coastlines ranging from beach cusps to headlands, deltas, and artificial nourishments-exemplify this challenge. …”

Analysis of the genetic variance of fibre diameter measured along the wool staple for use as a potential indicator of resilience in sheep by Erin G. Smith, Dominic L. Waters, Samuel F. Walkom, Sam A. Clark

“…In this study, random regression models were used to analyse repeated records of the fibre diameter of wool taken along the wool staple (bundle of wool fibres) to investigate how the genetic and environmental variance of fibre diameter changes with different growing environments. Results A model containing a fifth, fourth and second-order Legendre polynomial applied to the fixed, additive and permanent environmental effects, respectively, was optimal for modelling fibre diameter along the wool staple. …”

Climate and yield variability of major cereal crops in Marsyangdi River Basin, Nepal by Ganesh R. Joshi, Binaya Joshi, Kshitiz R. Joshi

“…The results imply that the increasing trend of maximum temperature, in general, has benefited summer crops such as paddy and maize. As there were differences in impacts, any adaptation strategies planned and implemented should be tailor-made, considering growing seasons, altitudes, and the types of crops.…”
