Deserts represent key carbon reservoirs, yet as these systems are threatened this has implications for biodiversity and climate change. This review focuses on how these changes affect desert ecosystems, particularly plant root systems and their impact on carbon and mineral nutrient stocks. [...]

El ensordecimiento de las sibilantes : una cuestión de oído
/
Rost Bagudanch, Assumpció (Universitat de les Illes Balears)
El proceso de ensordecimiento de las sibilantes del español supone la desfonologización de los tres fonemas sonoros existentes en castellano medieval, a saber, /z/, /ʒ/, /d͡z/. Las explicaciones que se han ofrecido tradicionalmente para dar cuenta de un cambio tan drástico se centran en aspectos de reorganización fonológica o en el contacto de lenguas con el vasco, pero no suelen tener en cuenta la posibilidad de que la evolución tenga un origen puramente fonético, como defienden Alonso (1967) o Pensado (1993). [...] One of the most analysed phenomena in the evolution of Spanish is the sibilant devoicing process, which started in Medieval Spanish. It entailed the dephonologization of the three voiced segments /z/, /ʒ/, /d͡z/. [...]

The global tree cover has kept reducing in the last two decades, mainly in tropical forests, despite the global efforts to conserve biodiversity and the ecosystem services that provides. Considering South America is the region that had the highest rate of net forest loss (2000-2020), it is crucial to understand the deforestation dynamics of each country and their regions for the evaluation of effective national conservation actions.

Activation of parietal-epithelial cells (PECs) with neo-expression of CD44 has been found to play a relevant role in the development of focal and segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS). The aim of this study was to analyse whether the expression of CD44 by PECs in biopsies of minimal change disease (MCD) is associated with the response to corticosteroids, with kidney outcomes and/or can be considered an early sign of FSGS.

Liberal eugenics, coercion and social pressure
/
Rodríguez López, Blanca (Universidad Complutense de Madrid)
When discussing genetic prenatal enhancement, we often encounter objections related to "eugenics. " Those who want to defend prenatal enhancement either try to avoid using the term "eugenics" or talk about "liberal eugenics", implying that what was wrong with the old eugenics was its coercive character, and claiming that while old eugenics went against reproductive freedom, the new liberal eugenics promotes freedom. [...] La discussió de la millora prenatal ha estat sovint criticada comparant-la amb l'eugenèsia. Els qui la defensen a vegades intenten evitar el terme i d'altres hi afegeixen el terme «liberal». En parlar d'eugenèsia liberal s'afirma que el que era problemàtic en l'antiga eugenèsia era, fonamentalment, el seu caràcter coercitiu. [...] La discusión de la mejora prenatal ha sido a menudo criticada comparándola con la eugenesia. Los que la defienden intentan en ocasiones evitar el término y en otras añaden el término «liberal».

The rising frequency of infectious diseases under climate change poses an emerging threat to environmental and agricultural sustainability by consuming large quantities of materials. The demand for crops to produce personal protective equipment (PPE) competes for land and fertilizers, leads to cropland expansion, and accelerates climate change, but the ecological impacts remain unclear.

Climate warming is expected to increase growth and expansion of evergreen vegetation in many cold regions, with substantial influences on ecological and atmospheric processes. Nevertheless, the direction and magnitude of changes in productivity (greenness) of evergreen vegetation, as well as their potential drivers, remain unclear in many parts of the world. [...]
