Connecting the dots: Network structure as a functional trait in arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi
PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Soil health and sustainable land management are critical to addressing global challenges such as food security, climate resilience, and biodiversity loss. Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi form underground networks that enhance plant nutrient uptake and improve soil structure, yet their functional diversity remains poorly understood, limiting their ...

The role of soil moisture in the inland penetration of Indian monsoon low‐pressure systems
Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.We use the Advanced Weather Research and Forecasting model to examine the role of soil moisture in the inland penetration of Indian monsoon low‐pressure systems (LPSs). We find that LPSs penetrate deeply into India despite a dry land surface; however, their inland penetration is adversely affected when there is a reduction in the total surface heat ...

Deep Reinforcement Learning‐Based Control for Real‐Time Hybrid Simulation of Civil Structures
International Journal of Robust and Nonlinear Control, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Real‐time Hybrid Simulation (RTHS) is a cyber‐physical technique that studies the dynamic behavior of a system by combining physical and numerical components that are coupled through a boundary condition enforcer. In structural engineering, the numerical components are subjected to environmental loads that become dynamic displacements of the ...
