Rising CO2 drives divergence in water use efficiency of evergreen and deciduous plants
A rapid rise in CO2 has made evergreen trees more waterwise than deciduous trees, especially in cooler parts of the world. Intrinsic water use efficiency (iWUE), defined as the ratio of photosynthesis to stomatal conductance, is a key variable in plant ...

Understanding whether the long-term follow-up (LTFU) system is working for families is critical to measuring the success of newborn screening (NBS) and understanding why some families are lost to follow-up.

Tuberculosis: a medical evergreen [PDF]
Tuberculosis was once believed to be a hereditary disease and the cause of death in 25% of the population in Europe in the 17th century. The American physician and poet Oliver Wendell Holmes called it the white plague and the English writer Charles Dickens described it as a disease which medicine never cured.

Implications of evergreen shrub expansion in the Arctic
Arctic shrub expansion is occurring across large parts of the tundra biome and its potential ecological repercussions have been widely discussed. But while the term “shrub expansion” often implicitly refers to an increase in tall, deciduous species such ...

Abstract Premise Understanding how fire impacts trees is essential for predicting the effects of novel fire regimes on plant diversity in the transition between the world's two most diverse biomes, the Cerrado and the Amazonia. Here we addressed knowledge gaps regarding physiological damage and mortality in transitional species within fire‐prone ...

Abstract Premise Large‐scale disturbances significantly impact forest dynamics, structure, and biodiversity. Lianas proliferate rapidly after such events, likely through clonal reproduction. Understanding this process is challenging because it requires precise disturbance history and accurate estimation of whether individuals originated from clonal ...

Rainfall is one of the primary sources of chemical inputs in forest ecosystems, and the basis of forest nutrient cycling. Mixed evergreen and deciduous broadleaved forests are currently one of the most threatened ecosystems due to their sensitivity to ...

The Evergreen A Northern Seasonal [PDF]
IT is not often that a reviewer is called upon to write art criticism in the columns of NATURE. But the circumstances of the “Evergreen” are peculiar; it is published with a certain scientific sanction as the expression of a coming scientific Renascence of Art, and it is impossible to avoid glancing at its aesthetic merits.
