Smallholder farms have and can store more carbon than previously estimated

open access: yesGlobal Change Biology, Volume 29, Issue 6, Page 1471-1483, March 2023., 2023
We augmented a high‐resolution continental soils database with local data to develop hybrid, regional predictions of carbon stocks and then estimated carbon sequestration potential within agricultural soils. The method found that agricultural soils in Malawi can sequester 4.4 Mg C ha on average with a change in management, a 90% increase over database ...

A stochastic programming approach to enhance the resilience of infrastructure under weather‐related risk

open access: yesComputer-Aided Civil and Infrastructure Engineering, Volume 38, Issue 4, Page 411-432, 1 March 2023., 2023
ABSTRACT The presented methodology results in an optimal portfolio of resilience‐oriented resource allocation under weather‐related risks. The pre‐event mitigations improve the capacity of the transportation system to absorb shocks from future natural hazards, contributing to risk reduction.

Fine root dynamics across pantropical rainforest ecosystems

open access: yesGlobal Change Biology, Volume 27, Issue 15, Page 3657-3680, August 2021., 2021
We present the largest global dataset to date on tropical forest fine root biomass, productivity, residence time, and allocation of total net primary productivity to fine roots, collected to a standardised protocol across 47 Global Ecosystems Monitoring plots in lowland and montane forests South America, Africa, and Southeast Asia.

A non‐isolated DC‐DC converter with low voltage stress and high step‐down voltage conversion ratio

open access: yesIET Power Electronics, Volume 14, Issue 6, Page 1219-1235, 6 May 2021., 2021
Abstract This work focuses on a new non‐isolated interleaved DC‐DC converter with very high step‐down voltage conversion ratio. By employing the switched/series capacitor concept, along with the proper component interconnection, the converter features a high step‐down voltage conversion ratio where, in the private case of equal duty ratios, it is six ...

Evolutionary heritage shapes tree distributions along an Amazon‐to‐Andes elevation gradient

open access: yesBiotropica, Volume 53, Issue 1, Page 38-50, January 2021., 2021
Using and Amazon‐Andes elevation gradient we employ phylogenetic approaches to assess the influence of evolutionary heritage on distribution trends of trees. Our findings suggest that tropical montane forests are home to unique tree lineage diversity, constrained by their evolutionary heritage and vulnerable to substantial losses under environmental ...

Predicted annual biomass input to maintain soil organic carbon under contrasting management

open access: yesAgronomy Journal, Volume 112, Issue 6, Page 4822-4835, November/December 2020., 2020
Abstract Corn (Zea mays L.) residue is an important source of lignocellulosic feedstocks for meeting the US renewable energy goals. However, there is uncertainty in how much biomass can be sustainably harvested. The objectives of this study were to (i) simulate soil organic carbon (SOC) dynamics in the 0–20, 20–30, and 0–30 cm soil depths for the 2005 ...

Intranasal pregnenolone increases acetylcholine in frontal cortex, hippocampus, and amygdala—Preferentially in the hemisphere ipsilateral to the injected nostril

open access: yesJournal of Neurochemistry, Volume 153, Issue 2, Page 189-202, April 2020., 2020
We investigated the effects of intranasal administration of pregnenolone (IN‐PREG) on the cholinergic system in the rat brain. Bilateral IN‐PREG (5.6 and 11.2 mg/mL) increased frontal cortex and hippocampal acetylcholine (ACh) relative to both baseline and vehicle.
