Skill Assessment of Water Supply Outlooks in the Colorado River Basin

Hydrology, 2015
Water-supply outlooks that predict the April through July (snowmelt) runoff and assist in estimating the total water-year runoff, are very important to users that rely on the major contributing watersheds of the Colorado River.

Adipocyte Myoglobin Is a Determinant of Energy Expenditure and a Potential Target to Limit Obesity

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Myoglobin, known as a muscle oxygen‐carrying protein, is shown to play a key role in fat cells that burn energy. Loss of myoglobin reduces the body's ability to generate heat and increases obesity risk, while restoring it improves metabolism. The study identifies myoglobin as a regulator of fat burning and a potential target to enhance energy ...

Spatiotemporal Monitoring of Large Woody Debris Mobility and Distribution Using Unmanned Aerial Vehicles Along the Oshirarika River, Northern Japan

Drones
Large woody debris (LWD) in river systems serves beneficial ecological functions and poses potential hazards during flood events. Managing LWD requires a balanced understanding of its dynamics. This study employed unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) for high-

Natural Variation of COLD and CATECHINS REGULATOR 1 Coordinately Fine‐Tunes Cold Tolerance and Tea Quality in Tea Plants

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Multi‐trait genome‐wide association mapping identifies a central hub regulator, COLD AND CATECHINS REGULATOR 1 (CCR1), and its excellent natural allele variation, coordinately enhancing cold tolerance and promoting catechins biosyntheis. CsCCR1 interacts with CsCBF1/3 and is transcriptionally activated by CsLUX and CsKUA1 to promote catechins ...

Correcting Apparent Priming Bias Unveils Fertilizer Nitrogen‐Risk Archetypes of Surplus and Depletion Across Asian Rice Systems

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Correcting the apparent priming effect resolves systematic biases in Asian rice fertilizer nitrogen accounting. Net soil retention drops below 7%, while 48% of fertilizer escapes, inflicting US$98.53 billion in annual reactive‐nitrogen damages. High‐resolution mapping uncovers N‐risk archetypes across 42% of the rice area, delivering a spatially ...

Runoff characteristics in forest plots before and after wood ash fertilization

Maderas: Ciencia y Tecnología, 2014
Spreading wood ash on forest and agricultural lands has been used for years to correct pH in acid soils and as a source of plant nutrients. However, it is necessary to enhance the knowledge of potential hazards derived from such a practise.

Runoff Dynamics and Its Regime Changes in the Major River Basins of Africa From GRACE and GRACE-FO Observations

IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Applied Earth Observations and Remote Sensing
The major African basins supply freshwater to around 0.5 billion people, while monitoring runoff fluctuations in these basins is still challenging due to limited in-situ data and high costs.

Impact of Climate Change on Metal and Suspended Sediment Concentrations in Urban Waters

Frontiers in Environmental Science, 2020
In order to study the impact of climate change on metal contaminant transport in urban waters and its relevance for water quality, we have analyzed variations in metal- and suspended sediment concentrations (SSC) in three urban rivers and one small creek
