ABSTRACT Biological soil crusts (biocrusts) are crucial components of dryland ecosystems; however, they are highly vulnerable to anthropogenic disturbances, particularly trampling caused by grazing. To evaluate the impacts of trampling on biocrust structure, microbial communities, and soil functions, we conducted a mesocosm‐based simulated disturbance ...

Abstract Fluorometric enzyme assays are a tool for determining potential enzyme activity in soils. A wide array of methodological approaches is adopted by different studies, making comparisons difficult. An important consideration is whether assay conditions replicate the environment of the samples or optimize potential enzyme activity.

Quantifying coastal ocean anthropogenic carbon changes and their uncertainties
Abstract Despite recent progress in quantifying anthropogenic carbon (Canth) in global oceans, coastal regions remain understudied due to methodological and observational challenges. Here, we develop and generalize a Regional rEgression–based Coastal Anthropogenic carbon estimation algorithm (RECA) designed specifically for coastal environments ...

Property Rights Entrepreneurship: The Drive for Product, Asset, and Resource Excludability
ABSTRACT Property rights are foundational to market economies, and entrepreneurial activity depends heavily on the excludability afforded by property rights. Yet, the role of entrepreneurs in shaping the evolution of property rights has been so thoroughly taken for granted that it often vanishes from analyses.
