Utilising Benford's Law in the Validation of Precipitation Datasets

International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
This study demonstrates Benford's Law as a robust diagnostic tool for precipitation data integrity. Global monthly precipitation consistently conforms to the law, regardless of origin, while regional data requires appropriate temporal granularity for adherence.

Comparing the Last Interglacial (MIS 5e) with the present interglacial period (MIS 1) using a multidimensional functional diversity analysis: The marine molluscs from Santa Maria Island (Azores Archipelago, central Atlantic) as a case study

Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Marine fossil records hold outstanding importance for ecological, evolutionary and biogeographical studies. Santa Maria Island in the Azores Archipelago (central Atlantic) features a remarkable marine fossil record spanning from the Pliocene to recent times.

Plasmon–Exciton–Driven Modulation of the Electronic and Optical Properties of MoS2 via Cayley Tree Fractal Nanostructures

Journal of Raman Spectroscopy, EarlyView.
This work investigates the change in optical and electronic properties of monolayer MoS2 through the coupling of its excitons and a plasmonic fractal structure. The formation of the heterostructure shows significant enhancement on the edge of the fractal pattern relative to off, owing to the enhanced electric field at the edge of the branches.

Effect of saline irrigation on Tetragonia tetragonioides (Pall.) Kuntze grown on different soil types under greenhouse conditions

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND Climate change and population growth are major challenges for sustainable food production, particularly in regions affected by water scarcity and soil salinization. In this context, halophytes represent promising candidates as alternative and sustainable food crops for salt‐affected areas.

Relationships between acoustic scattering layers and ocean stratification: An acoustic approach to estimate mixed layer depth

Limnology and Oceanography: Methods, EarlyView.
Abstract Ocean stratification, measured as mixed layer depth (MLD), is an important feature that influences many processes in the ocean; for example, by mediating the fluxes of momentum, heat and crucially key gases such as CO2 and oxygen from the atmosphere into the water column and vice versa. The conventional methods to measure stratification (e.g.,

Predicting potential Arctic kelp distribution and lower‐depth biomass from seafloor irradiance

Limnology and Oceanography: Methods, EarlyView.
Abstract Kelps have an extensive distribution in Arctic coastal waters. However, quantifying their role in the Arctic food web and carbon cycle is challenged by the scarcity of documented geographical distribution, standing stocks and production. Here we present a framework based on an empirical function to predict the potential kelp distribution and ...
