Scaling from microsite to landscape to resolve litter decomposition dynamics in globally extensive drylands

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Decomposition is the transformation of dead organic matter into its inorganic constituents. In most biomes, decomposition rates can be accurately predicted with simple mathematical models, but these models have long under‐predicted decomposition in globally extensive ...

A Bayesian classification model to reconstruct lifetime movement patterns of riverine fish using environmental tracers

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract Environmental tracers, including both elemental concentrations and isotope ratios, are widely used to reconstruct the movement patterns of animals throughout landscapes. The methodology involves creating a map that describes the distribution of the environmental tracer across the landscape, an isoscape and then matching the values of the same ...

Design and Validation of a CNN-BiLSTM Pulsed Eddy Current Grounding Grid Depth Inversion Method for Engineering Applications Based on Informer Encoder

Designs
To address the problems of low inversion accuracy and poor noise resistance in pulsed eddy current (PEC) grounding grid depth detection, this study proposes a novel inversion model (IE-CBiLSTM).

Story2Board: A Training‐Free Approach for Expressive Visual Storytelling

Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
Abstract We present Story2Board, a training‐free framework for expressive storyboard generation from natural language. Existing methods narrowly focus on subject identity, overlooking key aspects of visual storytelling such as spatial composition, background evolution, and narrative pacing.

Enchanting the Otherwise: Magical Realism and the Gendered Ontologies of Organizational Becoming

Gender, Work &Organization, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper enacts a feminist‐posthumanist reimagining of gender as ontological disturbance, using magical realism not as metaphor but as epistemological method. Rejecting representational logics and the managerial rationalities of organizational realism, we advance gender not as identity or role but as spectral interference—a transversal ...

The underappreciated roles of fog and dew on vegetation and biocrusts

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary Fog and dew represent minor components of ecosystem water budgets in most ecosystems. However, fog and dew can play an essential role in ecosystem dynamics and are particularly important for water‐limited systems. In addition to serving as direct water inputs, fog and dew can influence microclimate and water redistribution, thereby promoting ...
