Carbon isotope anomaly in the major plant C-1 pool and its global biogeochemical implications [PDF]
We report that the most abundant C-1 units of terrestrial plants, the methoxyl groups of pectin and lignin, have a unique carbon isotope signature exceptionally depleted in C-13.

Exploring the SDSS Dataset with Linked Scatter Plots: I. EMP, CEMP, and CV Stars [PDF]
We present the results of a search for extremely metal-poor (EMP), carbon-enhanced metal-poor (CEMP), and cataclysmic variable (CV) stars using a new exploration tool based on linked scatter plots (LSPs).

Preparation of C/C-SiC Composites by Chemical Vapor Infiltration and Its Impact Resistance Properties [PDF]
In order to investigate the effect of different counts of carbon fiber protofilaments on the impact resistance of C/C-SiC composites, two types of C/C-SiC composites (3K-C/C-SiC and 12K-C/C-SiC) were produced through the ceramic substrate densification ...

Carbon accretion in unthinned and thinned young-growth forest stands of the Alaskan perhumid coastal temperate rainforest. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Accounting for carbon gains and losses in young-growth forests is a key part of carbon assessments. A common silvicultural practice in young forests is thinning to increase the growth rate of residual trees. However, the effect of thinning on

Ozone and haze pollution weakens net primary productivity in China [PDF]
Atmospheric pollutants have both beneficial and detrimental effects on carbon uptake by land ecosystems. Surface ozone (O3) damages leaf photosynthesis by oxidizing plant cells, while aerosols promote carbon uptake by increasing diffuse radiation and ...
