Response of the ocean natural carbon storage to projected twenty-first-century climate change [PDF]

, 2013
The separate impacts of wind stress, buoyancy fluxes, and CO2 solubility on the oceanic storage of natural carbon are assessed in an ensemble of twentieth- to twenty-first-century simulations, using a coupled atmosphere–ocean–carbon cycle model.

Substrate Engineering of SWCNT p–n Junctions for Dual‐Mode Power Generation and Heat‐Flux Sensing

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Through substrate engineering alone, a single‐walled carbon nanotube p–n junction device switches between two functions under uniform infrared irradiation. A low‐absorbance substrate sustains a central hot junction for continuous power generation, whereas high‐absorbance substrates transiently invert the temperature gradient for sensitive heat‐flux ...

Amplifying effects of land-use change on future atmospheric CO2 levels [PDF]

We constructed a model to analyze the interactions between land-use change and atmospheric CO2 during the recent past and for the future. The primary impact of the conversion of forested lands to cultivated lands is to increase atmospheric CO2, via ...

Groundwater Rise Sustains the World's Largest Alpine Water System Under Global Warming

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Shallow groundwater depth (SGWD) across the non‐permafrost plains of the Qinghai–Xizang Plateau decreased at averagely 0.02 m year−1, adding 31.44 Gt of freshwater storage from 2000 to 2020 and sustaining ∼53 500 km2 of alpine ecosystems. A vadose‐zone capacity of 426.6 Gt reveals these aquifers as promising reservoirs, highlighting groundwater's ...

Interfacial Electric Field Engineering of High‐Entropy Heterostructures Triggering Self‐Limiting Reconstruction for Industrial‐Scale Electrocatalysis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
An interfacial electric field engineering strategy is proposed to trigger the self‐limiting surface reconstruction of high‐entropy heterostructures. Driven by this built‐in field, the controlled sacrificial leaching of W evolves a robust active layer, enabling exceptional oxygen evolution performance and ultrastability at ampere‐level current densities

A Multi-Nutrient Stoichiometric Framework Reveals Distinct Plant–Soil Responses to 12 Years of Nitrogen Fertilization and Mowing in an Agro-Pastoral Ecotone Grassland

Plants
Nutrient stoichiometry provides a powerful framework for linking nutrient limitation to plant community biomass, especially in grasslands undergoing degradation in the agro-pastoral ecotone, where nitrogen (N) fertilization and mowing have become two ...
