Solar Radiation Transfer Through a Subarctic Shrub Canopy [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Much of the low Arctic is covered with shrubs that are partially buried by snow in winter and become exposed during melt. This study presents measurements and modeling of shortwave radiation reflection and extinction by a deciduous shrub canopy emerging ...

Surface albedo of alpine lichen heaths and shrub vegetation

open access: yesArctic, Antarctic, and Alpine Research, 2020
Lichen heaths are declining in abundance while shrubs are increasing their range in alpine and arctic areas due to climate change. This can have a large impact on the surface albedo of these areas. The aim of this article is to quantify the difference in

Shrub growth and plant diversity along an elevation gradient: Evidence of indirect effects of climate on alpine ecosystems

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2018
Enhanced shrub growth and expansion are widespread responses to climate warming in many arctic and alpine ecosystems. Warmer temperatures and shrub expansion could cause major changes in plant community structure, affecting both species composition and ...

The Influence of the Long-Term Outdoor Storage of Rockrose (Cistus laurifolius L.) Shrub Biomass on Biofuel’s Quality, Pre-Treatment and Combustion Processes

open access: yesBiology, 2023
Biomass storage is an essential requirement in the supply chain of bio-refineries and power plants. This research aims to evaluate the influence of long-term outdoor storage (1 year) of baled rockrose (Cistus laurifolius L.) shrub biomass on biofuel’s ...

Circularly Polarized Polariton Lasing from Spin‐Momentum Locking in Deformed Plasmonic Kagome Cavities

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
This paper describes room‐temperature polariton lasing with high circular polarization from deformed plasmonic Kagome lattice cavities strongly coupled to colloidal CdSe nanoplatelets. Spin‐selectivity from cavity modes resulted in control over the handedness of circular polarization as well as the direction of polariton lasing, opening prospects for ...

Effects of salinity, organic acids and alkalinity on the growth of calcite spherulites: Implications for evaporitic lacustrine sedimentation

open access: yesThe Depositional Record, 2022
Lacustrine non‐skeletal carbonates exhibit a diversity of petrographies due to interactions between physico‐chemical and biologically influenced mechanisms. Despite the suggestion that evaporative concentration was involved in the formation of spherulite

Influence of topography and moisture and nutrient availability on green alder function on the low arctic tundra, NT [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
The Arctic has warmed by at least 3°C over the past 50 years and this rapid warming is expected to continue. Climate warming is driving the proliferation of shrubs across the tundra biome with implications for energy balance, climate, hydrology, nutrient

Circularly Polarized Structural Color Pigments Tunable Across the Full Visible Spectrum

open access: yesAdvanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.
By infusing black dye into spherical shells of polymerized cholesteric liquid crystal, blue, green and red omnidirectional retroreflectors of circularly polarized structural color are achieved. They can be laid out on arbitrary surfaces without any need for index matching binder to define graphical information for robots and Augmented Reality devices ...

Differences in Soil Reinforcement and Root Fatigue Properties of Typical Shrubs in Semi-arid Mining Areas

open access: yesShuitu baochi tongbao, 2022
[Objective] The effects of cyclic load on root tensile resistance characteristics of three typical shrubs, and the change of soil reinforcement efficiency of shrub roots after fatigue were determined in order to provide a scientific basis for plant ...

Evaluation of pre/post-fire differenced spectral indices for assessing burn severity in a Mediterranean environment with landsat thematic mapper [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
In this study several pre/post-fire differenced spectral indices for assessing burn severity in a Mediterranean environment are evaluated. GeoCBI (Geo Composite Burn Index) field data of burn severity were correlated with remotely sensed measures, based ...
