Latitudinal diversity gradients (LDGs) arise from the interplay of historical, ecological, and evolutionary processes, yet these drivers may differ across landforms. Mountains, with steep elevational and climatic gradients, often sustain distinct diversity dynamics compared with adjacent lowlands, where vertical climatic gradients are weak and human ...

Anomalous stress diffusion in earthquake triggering: Correlation length, time dependence, and directionality [PDF]
It has been recently suggested that moderate and large earthquakes can be triggered by similarly sized events at very long range. Here we study the main characteristics of earthquake triggering by determining its correlation length, time dependence, and ...

Abstract The long‐term viability of Jatropha curcas as a biodiesel feedstock has been widely debated. Many early initiatives failed to deliver consistent economic returns despite promising environmental attributes. This study re‐evaluated J. curcas‐based systems within an integrated environmental–economic framework, focusing on their potential role in ...

ABSTRACT Earthquakes induced by injecting or extracting gas from underground reservoirs can pose a significant hazard to surrounding infrastructure and populations. Safeguarding against future seismic hazards requires accurate models for the upper tail of the earthquake magnitude distribution that are able to represent various intervention strategies ...
