A model comparison of fire return interval impacts on carbon and species dynamics in a southeastern U.S. pineland

Ecosphere, 2021
Ecosystem process models can be used to predict forest response to disturbances at a range of scales. Selection of the spatial class of model should depend on the scale of the research or management question, and model type should depend on the ecosystem

How does biotic weathering work? Influence of alpine plants on rock temperature and rock moisture [PDF]

Biogeosciences
Rock temperature and moisture are critical factors influencing rock weathering. In alpine environments, these parameters are determined by both macroscale factors, including climate, and microscale factors, including vegetation cover.

VERTEBRAL PAIN SYNDROMES IN CHILDREN: ALGORITHMS OF THERAPY DEPENDING ON AGE

Alʹmanah Kliničeskoj Mediciny, 2016
Background: Publications on the problem of dorsalgia in children are scarce. Inadequate treatment of back pain in children and adolescents promotes the disease progression and contributes to high prevalence of this syndrome in adult population.Aim: To ...

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

Potential for Early Noninvasive COVID-19 Detection Using Electronic-Nose Technologies and Disease-Specific VOC Metabolic Biomarkers

Sensors, 2023
The established efficacy of electronic volatile organic compound (VOC) detection technologies as diagnostic tools for noninvasive early detection of COVID-19 and related coronaviruses has been demonstrated from multiple studies using a variety of ...

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.

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.

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.
