Global Nitrogen Deposition Promotes Carbon Sink Formation in Terrestrial Ecosystems
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Nitrogen deposition alleviates ecosystem N limitation and enhances carbon sinks. Using 829 observations, we show 36% of deposited N is retained globally (39.15 Tg N yr−1), with distinct NHx and NOy contributions. This retention drives a terrestrial C sink of 0.88 Pg C yr−1 (25.48%), highlighting the importance of pool‐specific C:N stoichiometry ...

Engineering Microbial Particles for Next‐Generation Biomedical Platforms
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Microbe‐derived particles (MDPs), which include extracellular vesicles, outer membrane vesicles, inclusion bodies, polysaccharide particles, and virus‐like particles, represent a rapidly expanding category of bioinspired nanomaterials. With their natural origin, intrinsic biocompatibility, and highly programmable functionality, MDPs serve as a ...

Advanced Intelligent Discovery, EarlyView.This work investigates the optimal initial data size for surrogate‐based active learning in functional material optimization. Using factorization machine (FM)‐based quadratic unconstrained binary optimization (QUBO) surrogates and averaged piecewise linear regression, we show that adequate initial data accelerates convergence, enhances efficiency, and ...

Annual litterfall dynamics and nutrient deposition depending on elevation and land use at Mt. Kilimanjaro [PDF]
Biogeosciences, 2015 Litterfall is one of the major pathways connecting above- and below-ground processes. The effects of climate and land-use change on carbon (C) and nutrient inputs by litterfall are poorly known.

A spatially explicit index for tree species or trait diversity at neighborhood and stand level
Ecological Indicators, 2021 Knowledge about tree species interactions is important for our understanding of forest ecosystems. Research about such interactions requires a quantitative description of different stand mixture types for example with measures of species- or trait ...
