Counterexamples to a Weitz-Style Reduction for Multispin Systems
In a seminal paper, Weitz showed that for two-state spin systems, such as the Ising and hardcore models from statistical physics, correlation decay on trees implies correlation decay on arbitrary graphs. The key gadget in Weitz's reduction has been instrumental in recent advances in approximate counting and sampling, from analysis of local Markov ...

Tillage does not impact soil greenhouse gas emissions in a Central Texas rainfed maize–cotton system
Abstract Agricultural soils are a significant source of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, primarily as N2O. Monitoring how management practices impact soil gas fluxes (CO2, CH4, and N2O) is useful for making sure conservation practices (e.g., no‐till) are sustainable with regards to all potential environmental impacts.
