Advanced Science, EarlyView.Day‐night cycles trigger sharp relative humidity (RH) shifts in greenhouses. Rapid humidity drops dehydrate Corynespora cassiicola spores, inducing shrinkage, jerking movements, and weakened inter‐spore connections that drive detachment. Wind is essential for dispersal, with even mild airflow enabling rapid pathogen spread. These synergistic effects of

Vegetation against dune mobility [PDF]
, 2006 Vegetation is the most common and most reliable stabilizer of loose soil or sand. This ancient technique is for the first time cast into a set of equations of motion describing the competition between aeolian sand transport and vegetation growth. Our set of equations is then applied to study quantitatively the transition between barchans and parabolic ...

Vegetation and Moonlight [PDF]
Nature, 1888 THE letter of your Trinidad correspondent, given in NATURE, vol. xxxvi. p. 586, referring to a Committee appointed to determine moon influence, has a practical interest for me. Among the wood-cutters in Cape Colony, both east and west, there is a fixed belief, which no arguments can turn, that to cut timber at, or shortly after, full moon, is to cut it

Advanced Science, EarlyView.Under cold stress, MdDSK2a‐like is degraded via the 26S proteasome pathway, thereby alleviating the degradation of MdMTA induced by the 26S proteasome and autophagy pathways mediated by MdDSK2a‐like. The accumulated MdMTA increases the m6A levels of cold‐responsive genes, thereby contributing to increased ROS detoxification, deposition of cell wall, as

Advanced Electronic Materials, EarlyView.Hygroscopic hydrogels are capable of utilizing the moisture from air, which can transfer the gaseous water to liquid by a surface phase transition. Taking advantage of this water, sustainable water production, thermal management, and electricity generation can be realized.

Advection and autocatalysis as organizing principles for banded vegetation patterns [PDF]
, 2018 We motivate and analyze a simple model for the formation of banded vegetation patterns. The model incorporates a minimal number of ingredients for vegetation growth in semi-arid landscapes. It allows for comprehensive analysis and sheds new light onto phenomena such as the migration of vegetation bands and the interplay between their upper and lower ...

US employment exposure to domestic and foreign tariff changes under NAFTA
Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.Abstract Literature examining the effects of changes in trade agreements and import competition on US employment and wages has focused primarily on non‐agricultural industries and changes in US import tariffs. We propose a method for measuring worker exposure to changes in agricultural tariffs using a newly developed county‐level dataset of employment ...
