The Performative Dimension of a Literary Text-Concert by Svitlana Macenka

“…It is stated that a literary text-concert thematizes and describes a concert event using specific names of musical pieces and their performers, drawing attention to the performing style and individual manner of expression used by musicians as well as the sound of musical instruments while interpreting specific musical compositions. The text itself is conceptualized as a concert, i.e., the plot may be framed by a concert event or be presented as a special concert event with a detailed description of the conditions of the performance (acoustic space, the drama, timing, atmosphere, acoustic background, relevant auditory habits, and performative and ritualistic elements of the concert) and their impact on the listener. …”

Impact of Gaura parviflora invasion on urban wildness biodiversity: a campus green patch case study by Xiuli Ge, Xinxin Li, Ruifu Han, Shuping Zhang, Chunming Jiang

“…Its impact on the soil seed bank varies with soil depth, leading to a notable decrease in seed density in the 0–5 cm layer compared to the 5–10 cm and 10–15 cm layers; while the Shannon-Wiener biodiversity index for the 0–5 cm and 10–15 cm layers is lower than that of the uninvaded and severely invaded plots. This study reveals that the campus abandoned grassland community faces a high risk of biological invasion, and the invasion by G. parviflora has a more significant impact on the soil seed bank than on the aboveground community, which could lead to substantial changes in community species composition and a loss of biodiversity in the soil seed bank. …”
