NEW BRYOLOGICAL DATA FROM RELICT MIRES IN THE GRAN SASSO-LAGA NATIONAL PARK (CENTRAL APENNINES) AND THEIR INTERPRETATION ACCORDING TO THE EUNIS CLASSIFICATION AND HABITATS DIRECTIVE

During a phytosociological field-work campaign aimed at studying some relict Scheuchzerio-Caricetea boreal mires of the montane and subalpine belts of the Laga Mountains, the highest and largest siliceous massif of the Apennine range, several bryophyte taxa of particular biogeographic interest were collected.Among these taxa, Schljakovia kunzeana a

Soil, as the largest organic carbon reservoir in terrestrial ecosystems, plays a crucial role in the global carbon cycle.Accurately predicting the spatial distribution of soil organic carbon density (SOCD) is highly important for estimating organic carbon stocks and guiding agricultural production.Due to the complex relationship between the spatial

Abstract To understand the origin and early evolution of life it is crucial to establish characteristics of the primordial environment that facilitated the emergence and evolution of life.One important environmental factor is the pH of the primordial environment.Here, we assessed the pH-dependent thermal stabilities of previously reconstructed ance

Most human papillomavirus infections are readily cleared by the host immune response.However, in some individuals, human papillomavirus can establish a persistent infection.The persistence of high-risk human papillomavirus infection is the major risk factor for cervical cancer development.These viruses have developed mechanisms to evade the host im
