The identification and delineation of wetlands requires documentation of hydric soils, wetland hydrology, and hydrophytic vegetation. However, identifying hydric soils that exhibit high chroma colors remains challenging as they often lack diagnostic morphological features associated with established Field Indicators of Hydric Soils. In response, this study investigated problematic soil situations in the Slate Belt region of No...
Understanding crop genetic diversity is essential for conservation and breeding, yet farmer‐maintained germplasm remains largely underrepresented in genomic studies. Theobroma cacao L. has a complex domestication history, extensive global diversity, and is currently cultivated in Central America. Costa Rican cacao has been understudied compared to South American and Mexican cultivars despite cultural and historical importance....
Temperatures in the Arctic are changing faster than in other areas of the world due to Arctic amplification. The Greenland weather station network managed by DMI is the longest temperature record available from Greenland. This paper investigates the calculation of daily average near surface air temperatures, which are used to calculate monthly and annual averages, climate normals and in global temperature products and data ban...
Role of funders in embedding tests in conservation practiceNARA Subscribed
Effective conservation practice requires decisions based on reliable and relevant evidence, but significant gaps in the evidence base exist. Incorporating well‐designed tests of the effectiveness of interventions for biodiversity in conservation projects is one of the best ways to scale up the rate of evidence generation. Funders of conservation projects are uniquely positioned to support and incentivize such tests as part of...
Interpretable deep learning reveals spatiotemporal MRI features of brain aging that align with neurodegenerationNARA Subscribed
Cortical thinning and atrophy are hallmarks of brain aging that have been characterized using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Brain aging involves many neuroanatomic features whose effects on brain structure remain unexplored. To address this challenge, we trained interpretable deep neural networks (DNNs) to estimate brain age (BA) from T 1 -weighted ( T 1 w) MRI. By identifying MRI features unapparent to humans, DNNs can fi...
Shortleaf Pine (Pinus echinata): Management Challenges, Knowledge Gaps, and Opportunities for an Unsung SpeciesNARA Subscribed
Shortleaf pine has the broadest range of the southern pine species, occurring in 22 states and extending north into New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and New York (Staten Island). Shortleaf pine has been understudied compared to loblolly pine and longleaf pine, typically favored for timber production and conservation value, respectively. The extensive range of shortleaf pine contributes to a high degree of variability within and among...
