Increased winter soil temperature variability enhances nitrogen cycling and soil biotic activity in temperate heathland and grassland mesocosms [PDF]

Biogeosciences, 2014
Winter air temperatures are projected to increase in the temperate zone, whereas snow cover is projected to decrease, leading to increased soil temperature variability, and potentially to changes in nutrient cycling. Here, we experimentally evaluated the

LiDAR Voxel-Size Optimization for Canopy Gap Estimation

Remote Sensing, 2022
Terrestrial laser scanning of forest structure is used increasingly in place of traditional technologies; however, deriving physical parameters from point clouds remains challenging because LiDAR returns do not have defined areas or volumes.

Consensus Disturbance Rejection With Disturbance Observers [PDF]

IEEE Transactions on Industrial Electronics, 2015
This paper deals with consensus disturbance rejection of network-connected dynamic systems using disturbance observers. The control objective of consensus disturbance rejection is to achieve a common state trajectory for the network-connected subsystems that are under deterministic disturbances.

Simulating Groundcover Community Assembly in a Frequently Burned Ecosystem Using a Simple Neutral Model

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2019
Fire is a keystone process that drives patterns of biodiversity globally. In frequently burned fire-dependent ecosystems, surface fire regimes allow for the coexistence of high plant diversity at fine scales even where soils are uniform.

Arrested Succession on Fire-Affected Slopes in the Krummholz Zone and Subalpine Forest of the Northern Limestone Alps

Diversity
Fire in the Northern Alps is comparatively rare. Yet, previous human-ignited fire events in subalpine forests up to the treeline have triggered severe fire damage to vegetation and soil.

Diurnal Pine Bark Structure Dynamics Affect Properties Relevant to Firebrand Generation

Fire, 2020
Firebrands are an important agent of wildfire spread and structure fire ignitions at the wildland urban interface. Bark flake morphology has been highlighted as an important yet poorly characterized factor in firebrand generation, transport, deposition ...

The MedSupport Multilevel Intervention to Enhance Support for Pediatric Medication Adherence: Development and Feasibility Testing

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction We developed MedSupport, a multilevel medication adherence intervention designed to address root barriers to medication adherence. This study sought to explore the feasibility and acceptability of the MedSupport intervention strategies to support a future full‐scale randomized controlled trial.
