Molecular-scale description of interfacial mass transfer in phase-separated aqueous secondary organic aerosol [PDF]

Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2021
Liquid–liquid phase-separated (LLPS) aerosol particles are known to exhibit increased cloud condensation nuclei (CCN) activity compared to well-mixed ones due to a complex effect of low surface tension and non-ideal mixing.

Herbivores rescue diversity in warming tundra by modulating trait-dependent species losses and gains

Nature Communications, 2017
Warming can reduce plant diversity but it is unclear which species will be lost or gained under interacting global changes. Kaarlejärvi et al. manipulate temperature, herbivory and nutrients in a tundra system and find that herbivory maintains diversity ...
