Many plant species worldwide are struggling to regenerate due to the ongoing effects of climate change. These effects appear to be further exacerbated by the loss of keystone megafauna, which were important seed dispersers. By identifying the traits commonly seen in seeds spread by modern elephants, it is possible to predict which species likely ...

Evergreen broadleaved forests (EBLFs) represent an iconic vegetation type in subtropical montane East Asia, but they are experiencing intensifying anthropogenic pressure and increasing habitat fragmentation. Here, using a dominant and widespread tree species characteristic of East Asian EBLFs, we examine its phylogeographic history and evaluate what it

Safety Evaluation of an Aqueous Root and Leaf Extract of Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera)
Sensoril, an aqueous root and leaf extract of ashwagandha showed no evidence of mutagenicity in the in vitro Ames assay, was negative in the in vitro micronucleus, in vivo mammalian bone marrow chromosome aberration assays, and was well tolerated in the rat at up to 4000 mg/kg BW/day when administered orally for a period of 90 days. The data from these

A pilot variational coupled reanalysis based on the CESAM climate model
Variational data assimilation of in‐situ and satellite ocean data and reanalysis atmospheric data into an intermediate complexity Earth system model is possible by adjusting the surface fluxes and internal model parameters. This pilot application requires nearly complete information on the atmospheric state for synchronization.

Turbulent snow transport and accumulation: New reduced‐order models and diagnostics
Our new reduced‐order models of snow particle transport provide high‐fidelity calculations of snow accumulation in turbulent flows at significantly reduced computational costs. Additional accumulation diagnostics from the reduced‐order model predict complex patterns of particle concentration in turbulent boundary layers via coherent flow structures in ...
