In most biomes, decomposition rates can be accurately predicted with simple mathematical models, but these models have long under‐predicted decomposition in globally extensive ...

Looking at Us Through Their Eyes. The Analytical Process from Ethnographic Perspectives1
Abstract This article looks at the analytical situation through the Others’ eyes—through examples from contemporary ethnographies of foreign cultures. It discusses the following issues: a) The analogy between the ontological worlds of the dead, ghosts, animals and dreams in “primitive populations” and the analytical psychological descriptions of the ...

Comprehensive framework for assessing and optimizing existing research networks
Abstract Conservation, monitoring, and research networks, or collections of ecological research sites unified under a common mission of data collection or a research mission, are essential infrastructure for understanding large landscapes. However, most networks developed opportunistically over decades rather than through systematic design, creating ...

Abstract Bycatch in fisheries is one of the most serious threats to pelagic seabirds, causing major population declines. Mitigation measures can reduce bycatch substantially, but many fisheries fail to apply best practices, and seabird mortality remains high.

Uncovering correlates of decline and critical refuges for a threatened terrestrial mammal
Abstract Globally, the geographic ranges of numerous species are contracting. Identifying spatiotemporal patterns of threat impact can illuminate why species decline in some parts of their range but persist in others. We developed a correlative approach to identify species’ response thresholds and locate ecological refuge areas associated with ...

Abstract Ecological niche models (ENMs) are used to assess the abiotic preferences of species by linking their occurrences to the environmental conditions in which they live. We developed a fossil‐informed ENM framework that integrates mid‐Holocene and modern occurrences to test niche stability and reconstruct abiotic niche characteristics for four ...

Biodiversity‐driven spatial conservation planning to delineate temporally stable regions
Abstract The accelerating loss of biodiversity underscores the critical need for effective conservation strategies, particularly in the face of climate change and anthropogenic pressures. We devised a conservation planning framework that adopts a temporal stacking approach to species distribution models and landscape connectivity analyses. These models

根据江西省雷电定位系统2012年至2014年的LLS监测数据,采用经验正交分解方法,分析研究了江西省雷电时空分布特点,得出主要的空间特征向量及其对应的时间系数。结果表明,近3a夏半年雷电活动的空间分布特征以经向型为主,南部及山区雷电活动频繁。对空间特征向量所对应的时间系数的分析发现,江西近3a夏半年雷电活动总体呈增长趋势,时间系数间存在较强的相似特征,表明区域雷电活动具有一定的时空延续性。

本文在1MW切向燃烧煤粉炉试验台上进行了空气分级燃烧试验,研究了空气分级燃烧时炉膛壁面温度分布规律。试验结果表明,在空气分级燃烧时主燃区壁面温度分布相对于炉壁中心位置呈左右不对称分布,炉壁最高温度大致出现在旋转气流的上游,壁面温度分布不均匀系数为0.244;燃尽区下部壁面温度分布也呈不对称分布,最高温度出现在旋转气流的下游,壁面温度分布不均匀系数为0.106 ...

Abstract Organic phosphorus mineralization is a critical process in the phosphorus cycle, governing phosphorus bioavailability for plants. The PhoD gene, which encodes the key enzyme alkaline phosphatase, serves as a valuable biomarker for this process.
