Background Forest ecosystems undergo significant transformations due to harvesting and climate fluctuations, emphasizing the critical role of seeding in natural regeneration and long-term structural preservation. Climate change further amplifies these dynamics, affecting phenology across species and regions. In Tierra del Fuego(Argentina), Nothofagus pumilio(lenga) forests represent the most important timber resource, and it is managed through different silvicultural strategies. This species demonstrates notable post-disturbance regeneration, yet seed fall exhibits signifi-cant variability, leading to variations in seed quality(e.g., viability). This study aims to assess fluctuations in N. pumilio seed quality, determine how it varies concerning forest management strategies, annual productivity, and the co-occurrence of climatic phenomena including El Ni?o-Southern Oscillation(ENSO) and the Southern Annular Mode(SAM).Results Viable seeds represented 18.4% of the total, notably higher in unharvested than in managed areas. Con-versely, empty seeds were more prevalent in harvested areas(> 75%). Seed quality exhibited significant differences across silvicultural treatments, except for insect-predated seeds, which had similar proportions across all areas, though dispersed retention showed higher predation. When considering years with varying production levels, high-production years favoured full and viable seeds, particularly in unharvested forests and aggregated retention, while low-production years saw reduced viability across all treatments. Quadratic models revealed that viability increased with seed production, where unharvested forests achieved the highest values. Climate variability influenced seed proportions, where ENSO+/SAM+ promoting more full and viable seeds, while ENSO–/SAM+ favoured non-predated seeds, especially in unharvested *** Seed quality varies among treatments and years with different levels of seeding.

Preschool children with asthma present a challenge in lung function testing, as they cannot readily cooperate with spirometry. The forced oscillation technique (FOT) measures passive pressures and flows delivered by a loudspeaker to a facemask, at frequencies much higher than those occurring physiologically. This in turn allows for rapid collection of data from a spontaneously breathing child in a timespan of seconds. However, at very rapid oscillatory flow rates, the mechanical properties opposing flows into and out of the respiratory system (collectively termed the respiratory system impedance, and comprised of elastic, resistive and inertial components) are very different from at normal breathing frequencies, with elastic properties being less important and inertial properties being more important. An understanding of how the respiratory system behaves at high frequencies is essential to understanding the physiological basis of this technique. This article presents a way to understand these oscillatory mechanics of the respiratory system. It then describes studies of the FOT in normal preschool children and in children with asthma. The technique can also measure the separate contributions of the central and peripheral airways, as well as assess for changes after bronchodilator administration. The FOT holds promise for the objective measurement of lung function in children who are too young to reliably perform spirometry.

Correlation-coefficient fields are widely used in short-term climate prediction research. The most frequently used significance test method for the correlation-coefficient field was proposed by livezey, in which the number of significantcorrelation lattice(station) points on the correlation coherence map is used as the statistic. However, the method is based on two assumptions:(1) the spatial distribution of the lattice(station) points is uniform;and(2) there is no correlation between the physical quantities in the correlation-coefficient field. However, in reality, the above two assumptions are not ***, we designed a more reasonable method for significance testing of the correlation-coefficient field. Specifically, a new statistic, the significant-correlation area, is introduced to eliminate the inhomogeneity of the grid(station)-point distribution, and an empirical Monte Carlo method is employed to eliminate the spatial correlation of the ***, the new significance test was used for simultaneous correlation-coefficient fields between intensities of the atmospheric activity center in the Northern Hemisphere and temperature/precipitation in China. The results show that the new method is more reasonable than the livezey method.
