X-Ray Properties of Narrow-Line Seyfert 1 Galaxies with Very Small Broad-Line Widths

, 2010
Narrow-line Seyfert\,1 galaxies (NLS1s) with very small broad-line widths (say, FWHM(\hb) $\la $ 1200\,\kms) represent the extreme type of Seyfert\,1 galaxies that have small black hole masses (\mbh) and/or high Eddington ratios (\redd).

Symbols of Climate Action: Audit Labor and the Production of Carbon Credits

Economic Anthropology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Voluntary carbon markets (VCMs) are promoted as tools for financing climate mitigation, yet their effectiveness and credibility remain contested. This article examines how carbon credits are produced and destabilized as symbols of climate action, emphasizing the forms of ecological and audit labor that sustain their legitimacy.

Quantification of human‐caused mortality in an imperiled turtle

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
For many threatened and endangered species, the importance of human‐caused mortality relative to other sources has not been quantified, making it difficult to assess the effectiveness of mortality‐reduction strategies. We used radio telemetry data, pooled across studies at protected sites in the US states of Illinois and Wisconsin, to estimate natural ...

Spatiotemporal dynamics and machine learning‐based prediction of above‐ground biomass in the Indus Delta mangroves

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Mangrove forests are important blue carbon ecosystems, yet long‐term above‐ground biomass (AGB) dynamics in arid deltaic systems remain poorly understood. Here, we integrated field‐derived AGB data with multisource remote sensing and machine learning models (random ...
