Phosphorus limitation on CO2 fertilization effect in tropical forests informed by a coupled biogeochemical model

Forest Ecosystems
Tropical forests store more than half of the world's terrestrial carbon (C) pool and account for one-third of global net primary productivity (NPP). Many terrestrial biosphere models (TBMs) estimate increased productivity in tropical forests throughout ...

Expectations and Reality: The Lived Experiences of Australians With Psychosocial Disability Within the NDIS

Australian Journal of Social Issues, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT While Australia's National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) was founded on principles of choice and control, for people with significant mental health challenges (what the NDIS calls ‘psychosocial disability’) these ideals often remain elusive. Support systems continue to be fractured and in the context of ongoing policy reforms, it is vital

Maize grown for bioenergy on peat emits twice as much carbon as when grown on mineral soil

GCB Bioenergy
The area of land dedicated to growing maize for bioenergy in the United Kingdom is rapidly expanding. To understand how maize production influences soil carbon (C) dynamics, and whether this is influenced by soil type, we measured net ecosystem exchange (

Aboveground net primary productivity not CO2 exchange remain stable under three timing of extreme drought in a semi-arid steppe.

PLoS ONE, 2019
Precipitation patterns are expected to change in the semi-arid region within the next decades, with projected increasing in extreme drought events. Meanwhile, the timing of extreme drought also shows great uncertainty, suggesting that the timing of ...

Integrated Evaluation of Contaminant Profiles, Detection Techniques, and Management Strategies for Tannery Sludge

Asia-Pacific Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This review article critically examines the environmental and health hazards of tannery sludge (TS), a complex by‐product of the leather tanning industry. TS is characterized by a diverse array of contaminants, including heavy metals like chromium, organic pollutants such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), volatile organic compounds ...

Comparison of simulation modeling and satellite techniques for monitoring ecological processes [PDF]

In 1985 improvements were made in the world climatic data base for modeling and predictive mapping; in individual process models and the overall carbon-balance models; and in the interface software for mapping the simulation results. Statistical analysis

Drought impacts on ecosystem functions of the U.S. National Forests and Grasslands: Part I evaluation of a water and carbon balance model [PDF]

, 2015
Understanding and quantitatively evaluating the regional impacts of climate change and variability (e.g., droughts) on forest ecosystem functions (i.e., water yield, evapotranspiration, and productivity) and services (e.g., fresh water supply and carbon ...

Synapsids and sensitivity: Broad survey of tetrapod trigeminal canal morphology supports an evolutionary trend of increasing facial tactile specialization in the mammal lineage

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The trigeminus nerve (cranial nerve V) is a large and significant conduit of sensory information from the face to the brain, with its three branches extending over the head to innervate a wide variety of integumentary sensory receptors, primarily tactile.

Maximizing net ecosystem productivity: integrating chronosequence analysis and ecosystem modeling across contrasting biomes in North America

Frontiers in Forests and Global Change
Understanding ecosystem function and dynamics is essential for crafting effective, long-term forest management strategies. Our study integrates chronosequence data, ecosystem modeling using Biome-BGCMuSo, and eddy covariance flux tower measurements to ...

Forest productivity mitigates human disturbance effects on late-seral prey exposed to apparent competitors and predators

Scientific Reports, 2017
Primary production can determine the outcome of management actions on ecosystem properties, thereby defining sustainable management. Yet human agencies commonly overlook spatio-temporal variations in productivity by recommending fixed resource extraction
