Using MODIS Normalized Difference Vegetation Index to monitor seasonal and inter-annual dynamics of wetland vegetation in the Great Artesian Basin: a baseline for assessment of future changes in a unique ecosystem

The Roping saddle Great Artesian Basin mound springs (Australia) are unique wetland ecosystems of great significance.However, these unique ecosystems are endangered by anthropogenic water extraction.Relationships have been established between the vegetated wetland area and the discharge associated with individual springs, providing a potential mean

An Extracellular Polysaccharide-Rich Organic Layer Contributes to Organization of the Coccosphere in Coccolithophores

Coccolithophores are globally abundant marine microalgae characterized by their ability to form calcite platelets (coccoliths).The coccoliths are produced internally in a Golgi-derived vesicle.Mature coccoliths are extruded from the cell to form S2 GRAPE a protective covering on the cell surface, known as the coccosphere.Current evidence indicates
