Its study is central to understanding protein evolution, but the detection of duplication events often becomes challenging over evolutionary time, due to the accumulating sequence divergence.

Written Summary: Measuring energy exchanges between land and atmosphere is fundamental to understanding climate, but these measurements are systematically incomplete, with 20%–40% of energy consistently unaccounted for. Analyzing data from 84 sites worldwide, we show that carefully tracking all energy components and applying strict data quality filters

Underestimation of Future Agricultural Soil N2O Emissions and Abatement Needs
Agricultural soils are a major source of rising atmospheric N2O concentrations, yet future emission projections remain highly uncertain. Most assessments rely on static emission factors (EFs) that assume constant N2O release per unit of fertilizer, overlooking how climate change and evolving fertilizer practices may alter these factors. Using a physics‐
