The Potential of EO Data for Enhanced Flood Monitoring and Forecasting: A Consortium AssessmentNARA Subscribed
The monitoring and modeling of riverine floods have been covered extensively in the scientific literature with a substantial number of scientific contributions related to calibration/validation of hydraulic and hydrological models and assimilation of Earth Observation (EO) data into them. These models, when used for flood forecasting purposes, rely heavily on ground-based hydrological networks along with numerical weather mode...
Dominance and rarity in tree communities across the globe: Patterns, predictors and threatsNARA Subscribed
Aim Ecological and anthropogenic factors shift the abundances of dominant and rare tree species within local forest communities, thus affecting species composition and ecosystem functioning. To inform forest and conservation management it is important to understand the drivers of dominance and rarity in local tree communities. We answer the following research questions: (1) What are the patterns of dominance and rarity in tree...
Verapamil inhibits Kir2.3 channels by binding to the pore and interfering with PIP2 bindingNARA Subscribed
The inwardly rectifying potassium current of the cardiomyocyte (I K1 ) is the main determinant of the resting potential. Ion channels Kir2.1, Kir2.2, and Kir2.3 form tetramers and are the molecular correlate of macroscopic I K1 current. Verapamil is an antiarrhythmic drug used to suppress atrial and ventricular arrhythmias. Its primary mechanism of action is via blocking calcium channels. In addition, it has been demonstrated...
TRY plant trait database – enhanced coverage and open accessNARA Subscribed
Plant traits—the morphological, anatomical, physiological, biochemical and phenological characteristics of plants—determine how plants respond to environmental factors, affect other trophic levels, and influence ecosystem properties and their benefits and detriments to people. Plant trait data thus represent the basis for a vast area of research spanning from evolutionary biology, community and functional ecology, to biodivers...
Heat waves in Berlin and Potsdam, Germany – Long‐term trends and comparison of heat wave definitions from 1893 to 2017NARA Subscribed
Heat waves (HWs) are natural hazards characterised by episodes of hot weather. However, in the absence of a universal definition a wide variety of definitions is applied. In this study, ten different air temperature ( T ) based HW definitions are applied to the urban region of Berlin, Germany, to investigate and compare the occurrence and duration of HWs, and their long‐term trends from 1893 to 2017. We studied how long‐term t...
Model‐based studies on urban heat islands can be seriously affected by errors in near‐surface air temperature ( T 2), especially if errors differ between cities and their rural surroundings. Furthermore, errors in T 2 strongly depend on selected parameterisation schemes, in particular on the planetary boundary layer ( PBL ) scheme and the urban canopy model ( UCM ). We developed the Central Europe Refined analysis ( CER ), a d...
