Sapling recruitment as an indicator of carbon resiliency in forests of the northern USA by Lucas B. Harris, Christopher W. Woodall, Anthony W. D'Amato

“…Abstract Tree regeneration shapes forest carbon dynamics by determining long‐term forest composition and structure, which suggests that threats to natural regeneration may diminish the capacity of forests to replace live tree carbon transferred to the atmosphere or other pools through tree mortality. Yet, the potential implications of tree regeneration patterns for future carbon dynamics have been sparsely studied. …”

Accelerometric assessment of fatigue-induced changes in swimming technique in high performance adolescent athletes by Maciej Skorulski, Małgorzata Stachowicz, Szymon Kuliś, Jan Gajewski

“…As unfavourable changes in kinematics are already observed in the second half of the distance, it is therefore suspected that performing frequent high-intensity repetitions may lead to the perpetuation of unfavourable movement patterns. Taking this into account, coaches should limit maximum-speed swimming in adolescent athletes to short distances and an appropriate interval and use training methods to reduce asymmetric work such as training snorkels.…”
