Advanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.Thermal expansion and the thermo‐optic effect in solids are closely coupled, reflecting concurrent changes in mass density and polarizability. Using echo‐resolved THz spectroscopy, we simultaneously determine sub‐micrometer thermal expansion and complex refractive index changes of MgO and Al2O3 from 10–325 K. The analysis yields both the coefficient of

Examining the Effects of Urbanization on Soil Characteristics in Portland, Oregon\u27s Forest Park [PDF]
, 2016 Studies by Dr. Nancy Broshot in Forest Park, an urban forest in Portland, Oregon, have shown high tree mortality and low concomitant recruitment. Lichen surveys conducted in 2013 revealed a shift in the lichen community to one typified by nitrogen ...

Resolving environmental drivers of microbial community structure in Antarctic soils [PDF]
, 2009 Antarctic soils are extremely cold, dry, and oligotrophic, yet harbour surprisingly high bacterial diversity. The severity of environmental conditions has constrained the development of multi-trophic communities, and species richness and distribution is ...

Quantification of soil mapping by digital analysis of LANDSAT data [PDF]
Soil survey mapping units are designed such that the dominant soil represents the major proportion of the unit. At times, soil mapping delineations do not adequately represent conditions as stated in the mapping unit descriptions.
