THE FIRST BLUSH OF TASTING: PORCELLIO SCABER ISOPOD AND ENCHYTRAEUS ALBIDUS ENCHYTRAEID PREFER THE LEAF LITTER OF INVASIVE OVER NATIVE PLANT SPECIES

The first blush of tasting: Porcellio scaber isopod and Enchytraeus albidus enchytraeid prefer the leaf litter of invasive over native plant species

The establishment of invasive plants is a very serious threat from an ecological point of view, through decreasing biodiversity and a changing ecosystem, which affect decomposition processes.We carried out no-choice feeding experiments with Porcellio scaber and Enchytraeus albidus individuals.Three different plant species (Acer platanoides as contr

Numerical calculation of boundary layers and wake characteristics of high-speed trains with different lengths.

Trains with different numbers of cars running in the open air were simulated using the delayed detached-eddy simulation (DDES).The numbers of cars included in the simulation are 3, 4, 5 and 8.The aim of this study was to investigate how train length influences the boundary layer, the wake flow, the surface pressure, the aerodynamic drag and the fri
