The Arctic Ocean, as a significant carbon sink, is attracting increased attention within the scientific community. This study focused on the main marginal sea ice zone, which has been the most sensitive to environmental changes in recent decades. Using data from reanalysis, models, and on-site observations, the changes in air-sea CO flux (FCO) were analyzed during the influence of Arctic cyclones (ACs) in 2021-2022. Results indicated that the passage of ACs tended to increase the average carbon sink in the main marginal ice zone, with a more pronounced effect during the cold season. During ACs, the average FCO could reach -6.95 mmolC m d. This was mainly associated with the stronger and more concentrated distribution of ACs where there was lower pCO (air-sea gradient of CO partial pressure) in the cold season. Additionally, the change in FCO during ACs was primarily affected by the sea surface wind and sea-ice concentration in the cold season, while it was influenced by a variety of environmental factors in the warm season, including the sea surface wind, sea-ice concentration, and ecological factors.

Temperature drives ectothermic host - parasite interactions, making them particularly sensitive to climatic variation and change. To isolate the role of temperature, lab-based studies are increasingly used to assess and forecast disease risk under current and future climate conditions. However, in the field, the effects of temperature on parasitism may be mediated by other sources of variation, including local adaptation.

Since plant viruses cause lifelong infections, virus-plant interactions are exposed to large temperature fluctuations in evergreen perennials. In such circumstances, virus-plant interactions are expected to change significantly between the warm and cold seasons. However, few studies have investigated the effects of cold temperatures on virus-plant interactions.

Airborne quasi-ultrafine particle samples were collected from different outdoor sites in Barcelona (NE Spain, 35 samples) and the Valencia subway (about 400 km south of Barcelona, 3 samples). Locations and schedules were designed to cover cold and warm seasons and to represent the impact of different types of transport (cars, trains, ships, and planes). Extracts from PTFE filters (methanol:dichloromethane 1:2) were used to test toxic effects in human cell lines (Induction of reactive oxygen species, inflammatory response) and in zebrafish embryos (expression of xenobiotic response-related genes, cyp1a1, gsa1 and hao1).

The acute health effects of air pollution on the risk of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) have not been adequately studied and results remain inconsistent. Furthermore, fewer studies have explored the impact of air pollution on the cost of treating patients with COPD. Generalized additive models (GAM) based on Poisson distribution and gamma were applied to evaluate the association between short-term exposure to air pollution and daily COPD outpatient visits and daily COPD treatment costs.

Background: Phaseolus vulgaris is a warm-season crop sensitive to low temperatures, which can adversely affect its growth, yield, and market value. Exogenous growth regulators, such as diethyl aminoethyl hexanoate (DA-6), have shown potential in alleviating stress caused by adverse environmental conditions. However, the effects that DA-6 has on P.
