A threefold rise in widespread extreme rain events over central India

Nature Communications, 2017
Against the backdrop of a declining monsoon, the number of extreme rain events is on the rise over central India. Here the authors identify a threefold increase in widespread extreme rains over the region during 1950–2015, driven by an increasing ...

Tri–Band and Dual–Response Smart Windows With Asymmetric Mid–Infrared Emissivity for Year–Round Energy Conservation

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Our promising smart window exhibits exceptional optical properties, enabling the indoor temperature reduction of 12°C during summer and delivering the annual energy savings of 14.2%–24.4% across mid–to–low latitudes. ABSTRACT Building energy consumption accounts for 20%–40% of global energy usage, with windows among the least energy–efficient ...

Coupled Above‐ and Belowground Ecosystem Stability Worldwide

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Are the worlds above and below our feet in sync? This global exploration reveals an entangled fate between above‐ and belowground ecosystem stability. It identifies arid regions as hotspots for this coupling and highlights temperature stability as a vital safeguard for maintaining ecosystem balance across our warming planet.

Combining ability and gene action for yield improvement in kenaf (Hibiscus cannabinus L.) under tropical conditions through diallel mating design

Scientific Reports, 2022
Nine morphologically distinct kenaf genotypes were hybridized to produce 36 hybrids following a half diallel mating design. The combining ability and gene action of 15 yield and yield components were assessed in hybrids and their parents across two ...

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 ...

Regulation of sucrose synthase and its association with grain filling in spermine-treated rice plant under water deficit

Journal of Plant Interactions, 2019
Spermine (SPM) was utilized to investigate its impact on the accumulation of sucrose synthase (SUS) and the role of SUS as a predictor of sink strength of rice under cyclic water stress.

Changes in the width of the tropical belt due to simple radiative forcing changes in the GeoMIP simulations [PDF]

Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2016
Model simulations of future climates predict a poleward expansion of subtropical arid climates at the edges of Earth's tropical belt, which would have significant environmental and societal impacts.

Impacts of land use, restoration, and climate change on tropical peat carbon stocks in the 21st century: Implications for climate mitigation [PDF]

, 2016
The climate mitigation potential of tropical peatlands has gained increased attention as Southeast Asian peatlands are being deforested, drained and burned at very high rates, causing globally significant carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions to the atmosphere.
