Aim Energy availability is often assumed to be a primary driver of variation in biodiversity across large‐scale environmental gradients such as elevation, but support for the role of energetic constraints is far from universal. Here, we assume that these variations in energy–richness relationships might arise from the degree of match between the scale of the response of organisms to energy (response scale) and the scale of the...
Diagnosing Linearity Along the Carbon Cascade in Terrestrial Biosphere Models and ObservationsNARA Subscribed
Elevated carbon dioxide (eCO 2 ) acts as a fertiliser for photosynthesis, driving an increase in gross primary production (GPP). However, it is unclear how effectively increased GPP propagates along the ‘carbon (C) cascade’ to increase net primary production (NPP) and vegetation C stocks ( C veg ) in different plant compartments. Vegetation models were criticised for being overly sensitive to photosynthesis (source‐driven), ne...
Global patterns and regional insights into kelp forest protection, restoration, and stewardshipNARA Subscribed
Kelp forests are among the most extensive and productive coastal ecosystems, yet they remain underrepresented in global conservation policy despite widespread declines driven by interacting global- (i.e., ocean warming, marine heatwaves) to local-scale stressors. At the same time, kelp conservation and restoration efforts are expanding rapidly across regions, but measures of success and syntheses tend to primarily focus on eco...
Precision measurement of the Ds*+-Ds+ meson mass differenceNARA Subscribed
Blue-Green Infrastructure (BGI) in urban areas is primarily designed for stormwater management, but it also offers multifunctional benefits that support environmental, social, and economic sustainability. This study evaluates the benefits of seven BGI design alternatives in three types of urban areas in Sweden, representing typical cases in many parts of the world: Inner City catchment, Residential Suburbs, and New Urban Housi...
Theta-aurora dynamics: Ionospheric mapping of evolving magnetospheric plasma boundariesNARA Subscribed
The theta-aurora, an auroral feature bridging the nightside and dayside auroral oval under a northward interplanetary magnetic field (IMF), is closely linked to the energetic plasma evolving within the magnetosphere. While existing views emphasize that energetic plasma resides on closed field lines, the mechanism by which it is accelerated and precipitates on open field lines to form the theta aurora remains poorly understood....
Toxicological Evaluation of Vanillin Flavor in E-Liquid Aerosols on Endothelial Cell Function: Findings from the Replica ProjectNARA Subscribed
There are challenges that require collaboration among researchers to ensure that tobacco harm reduction strategies are evidence-based. A key challenge is evaluating the safety of flavors in e-cigarettes. Many flavorings are deemed “generally recognized as safe” (GRAS) for ingestion, but this does not guarantee their safety when inhaled. The Replica international research group is dedicated to the replication of studies on toba...
We address the question of separating the ocean’s deterministic response to time-dependent forcing from its intrinsic chaotic variability. Ideally, one could compute the ensemble mean directly without performing numerous realizations, but this requires knowledge or closure of the second-order statistics — the classical turbulent-closure problem, here recast for a non-equilibrium, geophysical setting. Building on the ideas of n...
