What drives animal responses to high severity fire? The role of functional traits

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Fire regimes are changing worldwide, with increases in the frequency, extent, and severity of fires posing growing risks to biodiversity. Fire severity – the degree of habitat alteration following fire – strongly influences both immediate survival and long‐term recovery of fauna.

Temporal and Spatial Comparison of Agricultural Drought Indices from Moderate Resolution Satellite Soil Moisture Data over Northwest Spain

Remote Sensing, 2017
During the last decade, a variety of agricultural drought indices have been developed using soil moisture (SM), or any of its surrogates, as the primary drought indicator. In this study, a comprehensive study of four innovative SM-based indices, the Soil

Characterizing Low Falling Number in the Absence of Elevated Alpha‐Amylase Activity in Soft White Wheat and the Impact on Japanese Sponge Cakes

Cereal Chemistry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background and Objectives Non‐alpha‐amylase induced low falling number was identified in 2024 soft white wheat. The objectives of this work were to characterize these low falling number samples and determine the impact on end‐product quality. The results were analyzed to determine differences in flour characteristics that might result in a low

Engineering Biochar‐Derived Functional Materials for High‐Performance Supercapacitors: Design Principles, Mechanisms, and Scalable Strategies

Carbon Energy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Biochar has emerged as a useful and adaptable source of carbon for supercapacitor electrodes. Its value comes from the way biomass chemistry, thermal conversion, and activation conditions shape the resulting pore network, surface groups, and degree of carbon ordering.

Multi-Temporal Evaluation of Soil Moisture and Land Surface Temperature Dynamics Using in Situ and Satellite Observations

Remote Sensing, 2016
Soil moisture (SM) is an important component of the Earth’s surface water balance and by extension the energy balance, regulating the land surface temperature (LST) and evapotranspiration (ET). Nowadays, there are two missions dedicated to monitoring the

Oxidative Fast Pyrolysis Enabling Autothermal Production of Porous Functionalized Biochar and Anhydrosugar/Phenol‐Rich Bio‐Oil From Biomass

Carbon Energy, EarlyView.
Oxidative fast pyrolysis of biomass enables autothermal production of value‐added products. ABSTRACT Oxidative fast pyrolysis can potentially overcome the heat‐supply bottleneck of conventional fast pyrolysis by enabling autothermal operation while also tailoring product quality through controlled oxygen addition.

Assimilation of SMOS brightness temperatures or soil moisture retrievals into a land surface model [PDF]

Hydrology and Earth System Sciences, 2016
Three different data products from the Soil Moisture Ocean Salinity (SMOS) mission are assimilated separately into the Goddard Earth Observing System Model, version 5 (GEOS-5) to improve estimates of surface and root-zone soil moisture. The first product

Mixed‐Impurity Co‐Poisoning of NH3‐SCR Catalysts: Poisoning Mechanisms, Antagonistic Effects, and Anti‐Inactivation Strategies

EcoEnergy, EarlyView.
This review summarizes the synergistic effects of mixed impurities on ammonia‐selective catalytic reduction (NH3‐SCR) catalysts, including the poisoning mechanism of the catalyst caused by mixed impurities, the antagonistic effects between the impurities, and the research on the anti‐poisoning strategies for the catalyst in recent years.
