Complementary or Competitive? Emerging Interactions Between Restoration and Protection in the Conservation Reserve Program

Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The USDA's Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) delivers environmental benefits to society by enrolling cropland and grasslands to reestablish or safeguard long‐term vegetative cover. In recent years, the CRP has dramatically increased grassland enrollment while cropland enrollment has been in steady decline. This paper uses descriptive analysis,

Identification and Characterization of MtoA: a Decaheme c-Type Cytochrome of the Neutrophilic Fe(II)-oxidizing Bacterium Sideroxydans lithotrophicus ES-1

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2012
The Gram-negative bacterium Sideroxydans lithotrophicus ES-1 (ES-1) grows on FeCO3 or FeS at oxic-anoxic interfaces at circumneutral pH, and the ES-1-mediated Fe(II) oxidation occurs extracellularly.

Comparison of DeePMD, MTP, GAP, ACE and MACE Machine‐Learned Potentials for Radiation‐Damage Simulations: A User Perspective

Advanced Intelligent Discovery, EarlyView.
The authors evaluated six machine‐learned interatomic potentials for simulating threshold displacement energies and tritium diffusion in LiAlO2 essential for tritium production. Trained on the same density functional theory data and benchmarked against traditional models for accuracy, stability, displacement energies, and cost, Moment Tensor Potential ...

Modeling the impact of extreme weather events and future climate on the radiologically contaminated sites of Enewetak Atoll

Scientific Reports
Enewetak Atoll underwent 43 historical nuclear tests from 1948 to 1958, including the first hydrogen bomb test, resulting in a substantial nuclear material fallout contaminating the Atoll and the lagoon waters. The radionuclide fallout material deposited

Evolutionary insights from profiling LINE-1 activity at allelic resolution in a single human genome

The EMBO Journal, 2023
Transposable elements have created the majority of the sequence in many genomes. In mammals, LINE-1 retrotransposons have been expanding for more than 100 million years as distinct, consecutive lineages; however, the drivers of this recurrent lineage ...

Asymmetric Whisker‐Inspired Sensor Pairs for Enhanced Airflow Sensing on Drones

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
This work incorporates asymmetric cross‐sections into a whisker‐inspired sensor pair to enhance airflow sensing. By comparing signals between two offset asymmetric whiskers, the system improves flow heading estimation and identifies the presence of fan‐generated wind during quadrotor flight.

High‐elevation endemic plants predicted to lose habitat from changing climate in Washington State

American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise High‐elevation plants face unique challenges from potential climate change impacts that will likely require upslope migration into increasingly smaller suitable habitat. This situation is particularly acute for endemic species that by definition occupy small geographic ranges.
