Studies were carried out in southern Poland during 2002-2006 in Scots pine stands under the effect of an outbreak of pine shoot beetles.The qualitative aspects of beetle feeding in miken pro series 13 tree crowns, studied on the basis of fallen shoots collected on experimental plots, are presented in this paper.The beetle numbers affected the age d
Impact of gas-to-particle partitioning approaches on the simulated radiative effects of biogenic secondary organic aerosol
The oxidation of biogenic volatile organic compounds (BVOCs) gives a range of products, from semi-volatile to extremely low-volatility compounds.To treat the interaction of these secondary organic vapours with the particle phase, global aerosol microphysics models generally use either a thermodynamic partitioning approach (assuming instant equilibr
Priming exploration across domains: does search in a spatial environment influence search in a cognitive environment?
Is there a general tendency to explore that connects search behaviour across different domains? Although the experimental evidence collected so far suggests an affirmative answer, this fundamental question about human behaviour remains open.A feasible way to test the domain-generality hypothesis is that of zemu shopping testing the so-called primin
