The majority of plant communities within the peatland near Lake Édouard belongs to the poor fen group. They are containing poor fen species such as <i>Myrica gale</i>, <i>Carex rostrata</i>, <i>Glyceria canadensis</i>, <i>Calamagrostis canadensis</i>, <i>Carex canescens</i>, <i>Carex stricta</i>, <i>Alnus rugosa</i> and <i>Sphagnum subsecundum</i>. Members of these taxa grow in association with a group of marsh species and with <i>Chamaedaphne calyculata</i> and <i>Sphagnum majus</i>, species characteristic of bogs. The soil are of the humisol great group, being well decomposed and relatively rich in nutrient elements but ranging from extremely to strongly acidic. Four new associations are noted: <i>Sphagno-Juncetum brevicaudati</i>, <i>Sphagno-Hypericetum boreale</i>, <i>Sphagno-Glycerietum canadensis</i> and <i>Carici canescenti</i>-<i>Sphagnetum maji</i>. The distribution of vegetation appears dependent on ground relief and, consequently, on the level and quality of water in the peatland.

Knowing the quality of water for human consumption is of utmost importance in the development of a country, since the poor quality of this vital liquid can be a source of diseases for the health of the population. The present work was carried out in the community El Comej&eacute;n, Masaya, in the Republic of Nicaragua, where microbiological analyzes were carried out in three sampling points (one well drilled and two taps). The physicochemical and chemical analyzes are in accordance with the norms established by CARPE, highlighting sodium as a major element with a concentration of 48.6 mg L-1 and potassium with 21.08 mg L-1. On the other hand, biological parameters such as total coliforms, thermotolerable coliforms, E. coli and fecal enterococos were analyzed, being found in some sampling points, values of total coliforms of 110 NMP 100 mL-1 being above the established limits, requiring a treatment additional to be suitable for human consumption.

Serangga air merupakan kelompok Arthropoda yang dapat dijumpai hampir pada jenis perairan misalnya pada habitat lentik atau lotik. Seranggan air dalam suatu ekosistem berperan penting dalam rantai makanan selain itu juga serangga air dapat dijadikan sebagai bioindikator terhadap penentuan kualitas suatu perairan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis kelimpahan serangga air yang terdapat di Sungai Toraut. Lokai penelitian terletak pada Sub DAS dari DAS Dumoga Kabupaten Bolaang Mongondow, Sulawesi Utara. Sungai ini memiliki luas sekitar 249 km2 dan hulunya terletak di Taman Nasional Bogani Nani Wartabone (TNBNW). Penelitian ini menggunakan metode Purposive Random Sampling dengan menggunakan alat surber sampler. Total individu yang didapatkan dari 3 stasiun sebanyak 1497 individu dengan jumlah famili sebanyak 24 yang terdiri dari 27 spesies. Spesies serangga air yang paling banyak ditemukan pada stasiun satu, sedangkan yang sedikit pada stasiun 3. Kelimpahan spesies yang paling banyak ditemukan adalah Hydropsyche sp.Arthropods is a group of aquatic insects that can be found in almost all types of aquatic habitats for example lentic or lotic habitat. In the field of ecology, aquatic insects plays a role in the food chain, moreover the aquatic insects can be used as bioindicator to determine the quality of water. This study aims to analyze the abundance of aquatic insects found in the Toraut River. This study lies in the sub-watershed from the watershed of Dumoga Bolaang Mongondow, North Sulawesi. This river has an area of ​​approximately 249 km2 and its located in the headwaters of Bogani Nani Wartabone  National Park. The method used in this study is purposive random sampling method by using a sampler surber. Total individuals were obtained from 3 stations are 1497 individuals with total 24 families consisting of 27 species. The most commonly species of aquatic insects found at station 1, whereas slightly at station 3. The most commonly species of aquatic insects found is Hydropsyche sp.

We investigated the impact of watershed liming on elemental concentrations in the shrubs Myrica gale and Chamaedaphne calyculata and the sedge Carex stricta. We analyzed tissues from plants co-occurring in 1-m2 plots in limed and unlimed portions of an Adirondack poor fen for Al, B, Ca, Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, K, Mg, Mn, Mo, N, Na, Ni, P, Pb, Se, V, and Zn. Within 2 years of liming, we found higher concentrations of Ca, Ni, and Zn and lower N, Na, and Mn in Chamaedaphne foliage; higher Fe, K, Mg, Ni, Pb, and Zn and lower Co and Mn in Chamaedaphne twigs; higher Mo and lower Al, B, Mn, and Ni in Myrica foliage; higher Al, Cr, and Mo and lower Cd, Mn, and Se in Myrica twigs; and higher Al and lower Co and Cr in Carex foliage. Clearly, each species was unique in its uptake and allocation of elements, which will influence the rate these elements cycle in this watershed after liming. Elements in Carex foliage changed the least after watershed liming, while those in Chamaedaphne twigs changed the most. However, the slow decay of Chamaedaphne litter will likely inhibit the release of accumulated elements, including Ca.

In April 2014, a new locality of Salix myrtilloides was found in the eastern part of Kampinos National Park in the abandoned village of Wyględy Górne (Leszno municipality, Warszawa Zachód District; GPS: 52°17′35.4″N, 20°41′41.5″E). The population consisted of 17 stems scattered in an area of 30 m2 within a poor fen that developed between small dunes. The main threat to the species at this locality is the poor quantity of these plants, which makes the population susceptible to sudden changes in environmental conditions. Another threat is biocenotic succession and the associated increase in shading from shrubs and perennials.

Life On Earth

Ecosystem services play a fundamental role in society; their characteristics and the production of their natural generated capital are fundamental elements in the functioning of the support system of life on Earth. The loss of ecosystem services contributes to food and energy uncertainty, increases vulnerability to natural disasters, such as floods or tropical storms, decreases the level of health, reduces the availability and quality of water resources and affects cultural heritage. This study has conducted a quantitative estimate of ecosystem services and their evaluation for a wide, complex and sensitive area: The National Park of Cilento, Vallo di Diano and Alburni, in Southern Italy. The assessment has been undertaken via a preliminary, partial evaluation model and further through the TOPSIS method. Research results have led to a scenario highlighting a dualism on the territory shaped by the differences between internal and coastal areas, defining themselves as complementary and necessary to each other. To improve the sustainable use of territorial resources, it is necessary to adopt policies and strategies from those that are available, always taking into account any possible conflict between conservation and development.

The article discusses the experience of teaching and conducting spirometry of general practitioners as part of the RESPECT study (RESearch on the PrEvalence and the diagnosis of COPD and its Tobacco-related aetiology). A total of 33 trained in spirometry general practitioners performed a study of 3119 patients. Quality criteria met 84.1% of spirometric studies. The analysis of the most common mistakes made by doctors during the forced expiratory maneuver is included. The most frequent errors were expiration exhalation of less than 6s (54%), non-maximal effort throughout the test and lack of reproducibility (11.3%). Independent predictors of poor spirogram quality were male gender, obstruction (FEV1 /FVC<0.7), and the center where the study was performed. The number of good-quality spirograms ranged from 96.1% (95% CI 83.2–110.4) to 59.8% (95% CI 49.6–71.4) depending on the center. Subsequently, an analysis of the reasons behind the poor quality of research in individual centers was conducted and the identified shortcomings were eliminated. The poor quality of the spirograms was associated either with the errors of the doctors who undertook the study or with the technical malfunctions of the spirometer.
