The basic ingredients of the North Atlantic storm track. Part I: land-sea contrast and orography [PDF]

, 2009
Understanding and predicting changes in storm tracks over longer time scales is a challenging problem, particularly in the North Atlantic. This is due in part to the complex range of forcings (land–sea contrast, orography, sea surface temperatures, etc.)

Chromosome‐scale reference genome of Pectocarya recurvata, the species with the smallest reported genome size in Boraginaceae

Applications in Plant Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise Pectocarya recurvata (Boraginaceae, subfamily Cynoglossoideae), a species native to the Sonoran Desert (North America), has served as a model system for a suite of ecological and evolutionary studies. However, no reference genomes are currently available in Cynoglossoideae. A high‐quality reference genome for P.

Biochar‐based fertilizers increase crop yields in acidic tropical soils

Biofuels, Bioproducts and Biorefining, EarlyView.
Abstract Depletion of soil organic carbon and nutrients creates mounting challenges for agricultural production in tropical regions, putting livelihoods and food security at risk. Biochar‐based fertilizer (BBF) has been suggested as a tool to maintain yields while concurrently improving soil organic carbon content and related soil functions. This study

Medications, epilepsy and climate change: Added layers of complexity

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Climate change—the global crisis with pervasive health impacts—has adverse consequences for people with epilepsy (PWE) who have low quality of life due to poor seizure control, socioeconomic disadvantages and comorbidities. This review focuses on the potential effects of climate change on the pharmacological characteristics of antiseizure medications ...

A Southern Hemispheric influence on the North Atlantic through a shallow atmospheric circulation response [PDF]

, 2017
Previous research has discussed the importance of meridional migrations of the North Atlantic Subtropical High (NASH) on U.S. precipitation patterns, but the mechanisms that control these meridionial migrations are virtually unknown.
