Warming summers limit reindeer grazing, weakening herbivory pressure in the mountain tundra
Ecography, EarlyView.Climate change is predicted to alter species interactions by exposing ecosystems to increasingly frequent and intense warm spells. In the mountain tundra, grazing by large herbivores, particularly reindeer, can limit shrub expansion and preserve Arctic plant diversity.

Behavior of Long‐Slotted Perforated Steel Plate Fuses in Timber Brace End Connections
Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Steel perforated plate fuses have emerged as a promising solution for mass timber seismic force‐resisting systems, offering tunable energy dissipation mechanisms, such as flexural and shear yielding, through geometric adjustments. This study examines the cyclic performance of perforated steel plate fuses employed in timber braced frames, with ...

Analytical Formulas of Molecular Ion Abundances and N2H+ Ring in Protoplanetary Disks [PDF]
, 2015 We investigate the chemistry of ion molecules in protoplanetary disks, motivated by the detection of N$_2$H$^+$ ring around TW Hya. While the ring inner radius coincides with the CO snow line, it is not apparent why N$_2$H$^+$ is abundant outside the CO ...

Relationship between new snow density and shape of snow crystals.
Journal of the Japanese Society of Snow and Ice, 1989 新積雪の密度と気象要素および卓越結晶形との関係を詳しく調べるために, 秋田県鹿角市八幡平で6時間毎の観測を実施した.その結果次のことがわかった.1) 新積雪の密度は平均気温の低下と共にやや小さくなり, 平均風速の増加と共にやや大きくなる傾向を示したが, 卓越結晶形の相違による測定値のばらつきは相当大きかった.2) 平均気温が0℃以下のときには, 新積雪の密度は卓越結晶毎に, 雲粒付着の有無およびふぶきの有無を考慮して表わすことができる.
