Carbon isotopes and water use efficiency in C4 plants [PDF]
Current Opinion in Plant Biology, 2016 Drought is a major agricultural problem worldwide. Therefore, selection for increased water use efficiency (WUE) in food and biofuel crop species will be an important trait in plant breeding programs. The leaf carbon isotopic composition (δ(13)Cleaf) has been suggested to serve as a rapid and effective high throughput phenotyping method for WUE in both

Deforestation for agriculture increases microbial carbon use efficiency in subarctic soils
Biology and Fertility of Soils, 2022 Agriculture is likely to expand poleward with climate change, encouraging deforestation for agriculture in subarctic regions, which alters soil physical, chemical and biological properties and potentially affects microbial metabolic efficiency ...

Encapsulated thermoacoustic projector based on freestanding carbon nanotube film [PDF]
, 2017 A suspended nanotube film (or films) producing sound by means of the thermoacoustic (TA) effect is encapsulated between two plates, at least one of which vibrates, to enhance sound generation efficiency and protect the film.

Ecosystem carbon dynamics differ between tundra shrub types in the western Canadian Arctic
Environmental Research Letters, 2018 Shrub expansion at high latitudes has been implicated in driving vegetation ‘greening’ trends and may partially offset CO _2 emissions from warming soils. However, we do not yet know how Arctic shrub expansion will impact ecosystem carbon (C) cycling and

Resource Legacies of Organic and Conventional Management Differentiate Soil Microbial Carbon Use
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2017 Long-term contrasts in agricultural management can shift soil resource availability with potential consequences to microbial carbon (C) use efficiency (CUE) and the fate of C in soils.

Integrating effects of species composition and soil properties to predict shifts in montane forest carbon-water relations. [PDF]
, 2018 This study was designed to address a major source of uncertainty pertaining to coupled carbon-water cycles in montane forest ecosystems. The Sierra Nevada of California was used as a model system to investigate connections between the physiological ...
