Global patterns of treeline predictability and the gap between the forest and the treeline

Ecography, EarlyView.
The alpine treeline is the highest elevation at which trees can grow, which is assumed to be controlled by temperature and globally predictable. However, many upper forest limits (UFLs) do not reach this elevation, due natural factors and human disturbance.

Seismic Performance of Reduced‐Strength Steel MRFs With SMA‐Based Superelastic Friction Dampers: An Experimental Investigation

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Shape memory alloys (SMAs) exhibit excellent self‐centering capability due to their stress‐induced phase transformation, making them highly suitable for applications in resilient infrastructure. This study investigates the seismic performance of reduced‐strength moment‐resisting frames (MRFs) equipped with SMA‐based superelastic friction ...

Remote Sensing for Irrigation Water Management—The State of the Art and Prospects for Near‐Future Operations

Irrigation and Drainage, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT A recent UN report describes many regions as facing ‘water bankruptcy,’ a condition in which available water resources can no longer meet existing demands. In practice, this means irrigation will likely bear the greatest burden of future water‐use reductions, a complicated and fraught decision to make given its critical role in food security ...
