Changes in invertebrate assemblage composition in benthic and hyporheic zones during a severe supraseasonal drought by Rachel Stubbington, A.J. Boulton, Sally Little, Paul Wood

“…We predicted that benthic assemblage composition between sites would converge as epigean taxa were selectively eliminated, whereas between-site hyporheic β diversity would change little. We sampled benthic and hyporheic invertebrates concurrently from 4 sites along a groundwater-fed stream during the final stages of a severe supraseasonal drought punctuated by a record heat wave. …”

Spatial-temporal behaviors of large-scale ionospheric perturbations during severe geomagnetic storms on September 7–8 2017 using the GNSS, SWARM and TIE-GCM techniques by Wang Li, Dongsheng Zhao, Changyong He, Craig Hancock, Yi Shen, Kefei Zhang

“…The physical mechanism of low-middle plasma disturbances can be explained by a combination effect of equatorial electrojets, vertical E × B drifts, meridional wind and thermospheric O/N2 change. Besides, the severe storms triggered strong Polar plasma disturbances on both dayside and nightside hemispheres, and the Polar disturbances had a latitudinal excursion associated with the offset of geomagnetic field. …”
