2021 taxonomic update for phylum Negarnaviricota (Riboviria: Orthornavirae), including the large orders Bunyavirales and Mononegavirales

peer reviewedIn March 2021, following the annual International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses (ICTV) ratification vote on newly proposed taxa, the phylum Negarnaviricota was amended and mended. The phylum was expanded by four families (Aliusviridae, Crepuscuviridae, yriaviridae, and Natareviridae), three subfamilies (Alpharhabdovirinae, Betarhabdovirinae, and ammarhabdovirinae), 42 genera, and 200 species. Thirty-nine species were renamed and/ or moved and seven species were abolished. This article presents the updated taxonomy of Negarnaviricota as now accepted by the ICTV

2020 taxonomic update for phylum Negarnaviricota (Riboviria: Orthornavirae), including the large orders Bunyavirales and Mononegavirales

In March 2020, following the annual International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses (ICTV) ratification vote on newly proposed taxa, the phylum Negarnaviricota was amended and emended. At the genus rank, 20 new genera were added, two were deleted, one was moved, and three were renamed. At the species rank, 160 species were added, four were deleted, ten were moved and renamed, and 30 species were renamed.

How to improve landscape sustainability?

Almost every professional sector has embarked on the move toward sustainability. European landscapes are facing rapid changes in land use, where understanding and management of this process is essential. Sustainability has become a widely acknowledged dimension of human actions, but still little stress is put on education in sustainability. This paper identifies focus of education, gives suggestions for improvements and presents a new tool for education and training in sustainable land use – “Route Planner”. As results, it provides all users with new interesting facts on sustainability in the European Union and additional materials related to sustainable land use and Sustainability Impact Assessments (SIA). Users got the access to updated information regarding approximately 3000 courses on offer in this topic area throughout the European Union as well as case studies to compare sustainability practices in these countries in comparison to other parts of the world. Furthermore the end result of the information chain also leads the user to a collection of links such as interesting websites and further reading in the topic area

Evaluation of the optical porosity in time of windbreaks in the Czech Republic

Zadrzewienia śródpolne (wiatrołomy) są w krajobrazie rolniczym ważnymi liniowymi formacjami roślinnymi. Istotne znaczenie ma ich funkcja przeciwerozyjna, nemniej jednak znacząca jest także ich wielofunkcyjność. To, jaką funkcję w krainie może spełniać zadrzewienie śródpolne decyduje jego struktura. W terenie, porowatość rzeczywistą - aerodynamiczną jest bardzo trudno określić ilościowo, dlatego też bardzo często określa się ją w przybliżeniu za pomocą porowatości optycznej. Porowatość optyczna określana jest przy użyciu zdjęć cyfrowych oraz odpowiedniego oprogramowania. Ocena dynamiki porowatości optycznej w czasie określa zmiany w przepuszczalności zadrzewienia śródpolnego (wiatrołomu). Poznanie oraz ochrona zadrzewień śródpolnych prowadzi do wspierania trwale zrównoważonej gospodarki rolnej w krajobrazie rolniczym.Windbreaks are important vegetation line formations in rural landscape. They have polyfunctional significance and in particularly provide soil protection from erosion. The means of it function in the landscape is predetermined by its structure. The most important structure factors are considered their height and porosity. The actual, i.e. aerodynamical porosity, can hardly be quantified in the landscape and therefore it is often assesed by optical porosity determination. The optical porosity is determined by digital photographies and suitable software. By evaluation of the dynamics of the optical porosity in time, alterations in porosity of the windbreaks can be observed. The recognition and subsequent protection of the windbreaks leads to improved sustainable development in rural landscape
