Bioacoustic Baselines for Intact ForestsNARA Subscribed
Forests are at the frontline of both climate and biodiversity crises: forests are fundamental to the regulation of Earth's atmospheric carbon dioxide levels, and tropical forests alone harbour over half of all terrestrial species. Consequently, forests are at the centre of global efforts to both prevent extinctions of species and sequester carbon to mitigate climate change. Most carbon sequestration initiatives do not measure...
Thermophilic archaea synthesise cellular membranes composed primarily of isoprenoid glycerol dibiphytanyl glycerol tetraethers (iGDGTs). Cells can adjust the packing of their lipids by increasing cyclopentyl ring production, thereby decreasing membrane permeability and fluidity to maintain cellular function at high temperature, acidic pH, or nutrient limitation. Archaea of the class Nitrososphaeria synthesise crenarchaeol, an...
Comparative genomics of pyrophilous fungi reveals a link between fire events and developmental genesNARA Subscribed
Summary Forest fires generate a large amount of carbon that remains resident on the site as dead and partially ‘pyrolysed’ (i.e. burnt) material that has long residency times and constitutes a significant pool in fire‐prone ecosystems. In addition, fire‐induced hydrophobic soil layers, caused by condensation of pyrolysed waxes and lipids, increase post‐fire erosion and can lead to long‐term productivity losses. A small set of...
