Quantification of Small‐Scale Spatial Patterns in Alpine–Treeline Ecotones
Spatial patterns at treeline ecotones are important indicators for potential reponses to climate change, but are difficult to define and quantify. We develop several metrics measuring “abruptness”, that is, change of canopy height, and “discreteness”, i.e., change of forest cover along the elevational gradient, using data from four field sites in the ...

Evolution of sexual systems and regressive evolution in Riccia
Summary The genus Riccia is the most speciose of the Marchantiopsida, the complex thalloid liverworts. In contrast to the predicted ancestral liverwort and the majority of extant liverworts that are dioicous, most Riccia species are monoicous. Both the gametophyte and the sporophyte generations have undergone regressive evolution in Riccia, with the ...

Abstract We present direct measurements of the asymmetry parameter (g) from biomass burning aerosol at two wavelengths using the Laser Imaging Nephelometer. We compare the measurements with Mie theory calculations based on optically measured size distributions and with g values derived from hemispheric backscatter (b) measurements using both an ...

A review of sexual strategies in Cannabis sativa L. under genomic and environmental controls
Abstract Cannabis sativa L. (marijuana, hemp) is one of the few dioecious angiosperm species with sex chromosomes. Along with other closely related genera from the family Cannabaceae, C. sativa exhibits monoecious (unisexual flowers at different locations within the individual) and dioecious (two sexes in separate individuals) populations.

Abstract Reliable knowledge of seismic anisotropy in the mantle can provide invaluable insights into complex tectonics and geodynamics in Anatolia controlled by intricate plate interactions across the region. However, the 3D variations in seismic anisotropy within the crust and upper mantle beneath this area remain poorly constrained.
