Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsClimate-Driven Productivity Responses and Implications for Genetic Adaptation and Breeding of Boreal Trees in KazakhstanZhadyra Baigazakova, Kuralay Mazarzhanova, Asset Satayev et al.Kazakhstan’s boreal and forest-steppe forests form the southern ecotonal edge of the West Siberian taiga, where relatively small changes in heat and moisture can trigger disproportionate impacts on tree growth, mortality, and regeneration. Although forests cover only ~4% of Kazakhstan, they provide critical ecosystem services: stabilizing hydrological regimes, buffering microclimates, protecting agricultural lands from wind and water erosion, and supporting … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 26, Issue 3 · 10 Aug 2026 · 709 accessesView PDFCite
Case ReportOpen accessIn the abstractEnergy Positive Futures: A Critical Overview of Energy Plus BuildingsErdem CuceEnergy Plus Buildings (EPBs) represent a transformative leap in sustainable architecture by producing more energy than they consume annually. As nations commit to net-zero targets and climate resilience, EPBs serve as living laboratories for integrating renewable energy, energy-efficient systems, and smart technologies. This editorial synthesises current advancements, policy frameworks, and technological integrations enabling EPBs. It also critically examines the barriers, … …Energy Research Journal, Vol. 14, Issue 1 · 8 Jan 2026 · 2,929 accessesView PDFCite
Literature ReviewOpen accessIn the abstractRumen Microbiota Mysteries: Nutrition, Function, and its Impact on Livestock ProductivityHamdi Mayulu, Marry ChristiyantoRuminants are important herbivores in the global food system, serving as primary producers of meat and milk. The productivity of these animals is influenced by the functionality of their digestive organs, namely rumen. The digestion, metabolism and nutrients absorption in the rumen epithelium enhance the host defende mechanisms mechanisms, promoting health and productivity in ruminants. Therefore, this review aimed to … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 20, Issue 2 · 4 Aug 2025 · 4,069 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractLand Cover Changes from Forest Fires Using CA-Markov in Pelalawan, IndonesiaApri Zulmi Hardi, Abdulkader Ali MuradForest and land fires pose significant risks to ecosystems, particularly in Pelalawan Regency, Indonesia, where slash-and-burn practices during the dry season exacerbate peatland degradation. This study integrates Cellular Automata (CA) and Markov-chain analysis to model and predict land cover changes and carbon stock dynamics over the next 20 years. The model projects spatial patterns of land cover changes from 2002-2033 … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 21, Issue 2 · 31 Dec 2024 · 4,874 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThermodynamic Model of Calcium Carbonate System of Soil SolutionAbdulmalik A. Batukaev, Anatoliy P. Endovitsky, Andrey G. Andreev et al.Carbonate system determines the basic processes of soil formation and evolution. The aim of research was to show the importance of chemical Carbonate Calcium Equilibrium (CCE) in soil solutions. CCE causes a degree of soil solution’s saturation with CaCO3 as a factor of carbonate geochemical cycle. CCE depends on chemical composition, pH, Eh, buffering properties of liquid phase, dissolution, migration, … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 2 · 18 May 2016 · 7,978 accessesView PDFCite
