Eddy covariance sites are ideally suited for the study of extreme events on ecosystems as they allow the exchange of trace gases and energy fluxes between ecosystems and the lower atmosphere to be directly measured on a continuous basis. However, standardized definitions of hydroclimatic extremes are needed to render studies of extreme events comparable across sites. This requires longer datasets than are available from on-site measurements in order to capture the full range of climatic variability.

- A study calculated the total number of Lyme borreliosis (LB) cases in Germany for 2019, revealing there were 128,177 diagnosed cases, resulting in an incidence rate of 179 per 100,000 insured individuals.
- There were significant regional variations in incidence rates, with some districts reporting rates as high as 646 per 100,000, particularly in areas with more forests and agricultural land.
- The research highlighted considerable under-reporting, showing a discrepancy between claimed cases and official reports, suggesting the need for targeted public health interventions.
Geothermal waters often are enriched in trace metal(loid)s, such as arsenic, antimony, molybdenum, and tungsten. The presence of sulfide can lead to the formation of thiolated anions; however, their contributions to total element concentrations typically remain unknown because nonsuitable sample stabilization and chromatographic separation methods convert them to oxyanions. Here, the concurrent widespread occurrence of thioarsenates, thiomolybdates, thiotungstates, and thioantimonates, in sulfide-rich hot springs from Yellowstone National Park and Iceland is shown.
