Weeds in a changing climate: Competitors or service plants?

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Reducing herbicide use and preparing agroecosystems for climate change are two top priorities on the global policy agenda. Here, we explore whether these two challenges can be tackled simultaneously. While weeds are generally considered a threat to crop production, we show that weeds can help overcome climate change challenges in agroecosystems ...

A note on withdrawal from a fluid of finite depth through a point sink

, 2002
The problem of withdrawal through a point sink of water from a fluid of finite depth with a free surface is considered. Assuming the flow to be axisymmetric, it is found that there is a maximum Froude number at which such flows can exist.

Symbols of Climate Action: Audit Labor and the Production of Carbon Credits

Economic Anthropology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Voluntary carbon markets (VCMs) are promoted as tools for financing climate mitigation, yet their effectiveness and credibility remain contested. This article examines how carbon credits are produced and destabilized as symbols of climate action, emphasizing the forms of ecological and audit labor that sustain their legitimacy.

A compartmentation approach to deconstruct ecosystem carbon fluxes of a Moso bamboo forest in subtropical China

Forest Ecosystems
Moso bamboo (Phyllostachys edulis) forests are a vital resource in subtropical China, known for their high carbon (C) sequestration capacity. However, the dynamic processes of C fluxes within each component (canopy, culm, and soil) and their individual ...

Why theory matters for causal inference? Rethinking endogeneity in entrepreneurship research

Strategic Entrepreneurship Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Endogeneity in entrepreneurship research is often treated as a statistical complication addressable through advanced econometric tools. This commentary argues that such an approach overlooks a deeper issue: endogeneity is conceptual before it is statistical.

Empirical Physics‐Based Normal Behavior Modeling of Drive Train Temperatures With High‐Resolution Wind Turbine Operating Data

Wind Energy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The installed wind energy capacity increases every year. However, operation and maintenance costs still make up a considerable portion of the levelized costs of electricity. This costs can be greatly reduced by the application of suitable early fault detection methods. The supervisory control and data acquisition system of wind turbines is one

Root-to-shoot signaling positively mediates source-sink relation in late growth stages in diploid and tetraploid wheat

BMC Plant Biology
Non-hydraulic root source signaling (nHRS) is a unique positive response to soil drying in the regulation of plant growth and development. However, it is unclear how the nHRS mediates the tradeoff between source and sink at the late growth stages and its
