Photodegradation Increases Solubility of Grass Litter Carbon

Journal of Geophysical Research: Biogeosciences, Volume 131, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract Solar radiation is an important factor influencing dryland decomposition. Research suggests that, in the presence of water, previously irradiated plant litter experiences greater microbial decay than litter which was not exposed to radiation. The mechanism of this photopriming of microbial decomposition is unclear.

Optimal control for halo orbit missions [PDF]

, 2000
This paper addresses the computation of the required trajectory correction maneuvers (TCM) for a halo orbit space mission to compensate for the launch velocity errors introduced by inaccuracies of the launch vehicle.

Soil texture prevails over vegetation change in determining soil organic carbon storage in an African savanna

Journal of Ecology, Volume 114, Issue 4, April 2026.
We compared soil organic carbon (SOC) across six savanna–forest boundaries in South Africa. Surprisingly, savanna and forest soils contained comparable SOC stocks. While vegetation change shifted the carbon source from C4‐grasses to C3‐trees, total carbon storage was driven by local soil texture (clay/silt), proving that increasing tree cover does not ...

Validating Journal Cancellation Decisions in the Sciences: A Report Card

Issues in Science and Technology Librarianship, 1998
Few libraries have remained unaffected by the serials pricing crisis of the past several years. The University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB) Library has conducted five serials cancellations projects since 1987 -- 1987, 1989, 1991, 1994, and 1996 ...

The importance of open data describing prey item species lists for endangered species

Ecological Solutions and Evidence, 2023
Open data and code can be transformative tools in supporting evidence‐informed solutions for stakeholders. Data can take many forms of evidence in the discipline of applied ecology including tables, lists, maps and visualizations to name a few ...

Understanding the Interplay Between Thermal Activation, Diffusion, and Phase Segregation of Molecular Dopants Blended with Polymeric Semiconductors

Advanced Electronic Materials, Volume 12, Issue 6, 23 March 2026.
The use of air stable but thermally labile molecules provides an efficient strategy for the N‐type doping of organic semiconductors with relatively low electron affinities. Design criteria for efficient dopants should also take into account diffusion and phase segregation that cannot be decoupled from thermally activated doping.

CUES – A Study Site for Measuring Snowpack Energy Balance in the Sierra Nevada

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2015
Accurate measurement and modeling of the snowpack energy balance are critical to understanding the terrestrial water cycle. Most of the water resources in the western US come from snowmelt, yet statistical runoff models that rely on the historical record

Interstellar photovoltaics

Scientific Reports, 2023
The term 'Solar Cell’ is commonly used for Photovoltaics that convert light into electrical energy. However, light can be harvested from various sources not limited to the Sun. This work considers the possibility of harvesting photons from different star

Potential Impacts of Climate Interventions on Marine Ecosystems

Reviews of Geophysics, Volume 64, Issue 1, March 2026.
Abstract Rising global temperatures pose significant risks to marine ecosystems, biodiversity, and fisheries. Recent comprehensive assessments suggest that large‐scale mitigation efforts to limit warming are falling short, and all feasible future climate projections, including those that represent optimistic emissions reductions, exceed the Paris ...
