The fate and transit time of carbon in a tropical forest
The transit time distribution quantifies the time it takes for photosynthates to appear in the respiration flux. For a tropical forest in Colombia, it predicts that 50% of fixed carbon is respired in <0.5 years, and 95% in <69 years. Editor's Choice Abstract Tropical forests fix large quantities of carbon from the atmosphere every year; however, the ...

Currently, the minimal functional adrenal remnant size, and the impact of intraoperative imaging technologies on remnant function after partial adrenalectomy, is unknown. In the present experimental study, intraoperative perfusion assessment, using quantitative fluorescence imaging, confocal laser endomicroscopy and contrast‐enhanced CT, enabled ...

Chemical signature of colorectal cancer: case–control study for profiling the breath print
Available screening methods for colorectal cancer have poor reliability and low patient compliance. Cancer cells produce altered metabolites, which are transported in the bloodstream and released in the alveoli; these volatile organic compounds (VOCs) can be detected in exhaled breath.

Sleep Deprivation and Oxidative Stress in Animal Models: A Systematic Review
Because the function and mechanisms of sleep are partially clear, here we applied a meta‐analysis to address the issue whether sleep function includes antioxidative properties in mice and rats. Given the expansion of the knowledge in the sleep field, it is indeed ambitious to describe all mammals, or other animals, in which sleep shows an antioxidant ...

Summary Substantial fine‐root trait variation is found at fine spatial scales but rarely linked to edaphic variation. We assessed the spatial scales of variation in fine‐root traits and adjacent soils using a spatially coupled, nested sampling scheme along a fertility gradient in a seasonally dry tropical forest tree, Handroanthus ochraceus.

Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Tree lines in high latitudes and high altitudes are considered sentinels of global change. This manifests in accelerated encroachment of trees and shrubs and enhanced plant productivity, with currently unknown implications for the carbon balance of these biomes.

Reframing wildlife disease management problems with decision analysis
Abstract Contemporary wildlife disease management is complex because managers need to respond to a wide range of stakeholders, multiple uncertainties, and difficult trade‐offs that characterize the interconnected challenges of today. Despite general acknowledgment of these complexities, managing wildlife disease tends to be framed as a scientific ...

Resumen La actual práctica de desarrollo Bobath recomendada dentro del Marco de Razonamiento Clínico Bobath (BCRF) puede conceptualizarse utilizando la visión de la ciencia de los sistemas. Proporciona, así, una perspectiva holística de la interrelación e interconexión de las variables asociadas con la discapacidad aparecida durante la infancia.
