Introduction Novel Psychoactive Substance (NPS) use is increasingly prevalent and is often associated with severe acute recreational drug toxicity (ARDT). 258 UK deaths were attributed to NPS use in 2021. Confirmatory testing which identifies NPS is limited by expense and timeliness. We aimed to identify NPS and other recreational drugs in a sample of 1000 ARDT presentations to a central London hospital in 2019/20 and to compa...
The Coastal Carbon Library and Atlas: Open source soil data and tools supporting blue carbon research and policyNARA Subscribed
Quantifying carbon fluxes into and out of coastal soils is critical to meeting greenhouse gas reduction and coastal resiliency goals. Numerous ‘blue carbon’ studies have generated, or benefitted from, synthetic datasets. However, the community those efforts inspired does not have a centralized, standardized database of disaggregated data used to estimate carbon stocks and fluxes. In this paper, we describe a data structure des...
Prolonging survival in good health is a fundamental societal goal. However, the leading determinants of disability-free survival in healthy older people have not been well established. Data from ASPREE, a bi-national placebo-controlled trial of aspirin with 4.7 years median follow-up, was analysed. At enrolment, participants were healthy and without prior cardiovascular events, dementia or persistent physical disability. Disab...
Functional traits offer a rich quantitative framework for developing and testing theories in evolutionary biology, ecology and ecosystem science. However, the potential of functional traits to drive theoretical advances and refine models of global change can only be fully realised when species‐level information is complete. Here we present the AVONET dataset containing comprehensive functional trait data for all birds, includi...
Unexpected role of communities colonizing dead coral substrate in the calcification of coral reefsNARA Subscribed
Global and local anthropogenic stressors such as climate change, acidification, overfishing, and pollution are expected to shift the benthic community composition of coral reefs from dominance by calcifying organisms to dominance by non‐calcifying algae. These changes could reduce the ability of coral reef ecosystems to maintain positive net calcium carbonate accretion. However, relationships between community composition and...
Comparative genomics and physiology of the genus Methanohalophilus , a prevalent methanogen in hydraulically fractured shaleNARA Subscribed
Summary About 60% of natural gas production in the United States comes from hydraulic fracturing of unconventional reservoirs, such as shales or organic‐rich micrites. This process inoculates and enriches for halotolerant microorganisms in these reservoirs over time, resulting in a saline ecosystem that includes methane producing archaea. Here, we survey the biogeography of methanogens across unconventional reservoirs, and rep...
Science–policy processes for transboundary water governanceNARA Subscribed
Aim To assess the long‐term impacts of landscape fire on a mosaic of pyrophobic and pyrogenic woody montane vegetation. Location South‐west T asmania, A ustralia. Methods We undertook a high‐resolution multiproxy palaeoecological analysis of sediments deposited in L ake O sborne ( H artz M ountains N ational P ark, southern T asmania), employing analyses of pollen, macroscopic and microscopic charcoal, organic and inorganic ge...
Public Lands Management IssuesNARA Subscribed
139Living more safely at the wildland-urban interface (WUI) requires a basic understanding of fire behavior, preplanning, constant maintenance/vigilance, and deciding when to stay or evacuate so as not to fall victim to the predictable fire-flood cycle. Sitting and construction of neighbors' homes, their distances from adjacent structures, and the continuous maintenance of their property is also critical in creating a more fir...
