The potential effect of megafaunal extinctions on modern conservation of horse chestnut Aesculus hippocastanum

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
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 ...

Assessing wildfire dynamics during a megafire in Portugal using the MesoNH/ForeFire coupled model

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
Weather conditions affect megafires by inducing different fire behaviors over several days or weeks. The coupled MesoNH/ForeFire code was used to represent the dynamics of fire generating pyro‐convective clouds. To advance the understanding of wildfire dynamics, high‐resolution coupled fire–atmosphere modeling was employed.

A pilot variational coupled reanalysis based on the CESAM climate model

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
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

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
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 ...

Cross‐Linking Mass Spectrometry of the Antimicrobial Peptides Magainin 2 and PGLa Reveals Heterodimerization in Micellar Medium

Rapid Communications in Mass Spectrometry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Rationale In this study, we applied cross‐linking mass spectrometry (XL‐MS) to characterize the oligomeric states of a PGLa/magainin 2 mixture and gain insight into the heterodimerization previously suggested in the literature. Both peptides have shown a synergistic enhancement of activity when tested in antimicrobial assays; however, the ...

The Transboundary Reach of the Columbia River: Cottonwood Colonization Followed Flow Moderation From the Columbia River Treaty Dams

River Research and Applications, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Columbia river provides the largest Pacific outflow in the Western Hemisphere and the greatest hydropower production of any North American river system. For hydropower generation and flood risk management, four massive water storage reservoirs followed the Columbia River Treaty between Canada and the United States, with three Canadian dams,
