Prairie management practices influence biodiversity, productivity and surface-atmosphere feedbacks. [PDF]
New PhytolSummary Grassland restoration efforts aim to reestablish vegetation cover and maintain ecosystem services. However, there is a lack of systematic evaluation of the effects of grassland restoration and management strategies on biodiversity, productivity and surface–atmosphere feedbacks affecting climate.

A Modern Roman-Inspired Concrete with Daytime Radiative Cooling Capacity. [PDF]
Adv Sci (Weinh)Coolcrete, inspired by ancient Roman concrete, is a new cementitious material with photonic properties enabling passive daytime radiative cooling. Made from quicklime and zeolites, it reduces cooling energy demand, lowers CO2 emissions, and may eliminate urban heat islands.

Simulations of Contrail Optical Properties and Radiative Forcing for Various Crystal Shapes [PDF]
, 2011 The aim of this study is to investigate the sensitivity of radiative-forcing computations to various contrail crystal shape models. Contrail optical properties in the shortwave and longwave ranges are derived using a ray-tracing geometric method and ...

Atmospheric correction of APEX hyperspectral data
Miscellanea Geographica: Regional Studies on Development, 2016 Atmospheric correction plays a crucial role among the processing steps applied to remotely sensed hyperspectral data. Atmospheric correction comprises a group of procedures needed to remove atmospheric effects from observed spectra, i.e.
