Delicate Trade‐Offs: Nonlinear Multiple Biotic Constraints on Absorptive Fine Root Lifespan Across TreesNARA Subscribed
Root lifespan is crucial for predicting carbon and nutrient cycling. While economic theories suggest root construction cost primarily determines root lifespan, the role of extrinsic biotic factors remains unexplored. We analysed 61,221 images from a subtropical common garden to quantify 21 factors influencing root lifespan across 16 tree species and developed a comparable global absorptive root lifespan dataset across biomes....
Combining Observations and Models: A Review of the CARDAMOM Framework for Data‐Constrained Terrestrial Ecosystem ModelingNARA Subscribed
The rapid increase in the volume and variety of terrestrial biosphere observations (i.e., remote sensing data and in situ measurements) offers a unique opportunity to derive ecological insights, refine process‐based models, and improve forecasting for decision support. However, despite their potential, ecological observations have primarily been used to benchmark process‐based models, as many past and current models lack the c...
This study uses a port-Hamiltonian framework to address trajectory tracking control for unmanned surface vessels (USVs) under unknown disturbances. A passivity-based sliding mode controller is designed, integrating adaptive disturbance estimation and an RBFNN-based uncertainty estimator. Stability is rigorously proven, and simulations confirm superior tracking performance, strong disturbance rejection, and accurate uncertainty...
Salmonid diseases caused by infections of Flavobacterium psychrophilum , the causative agent of bacterial coldwater disease, remain difficult to manage as novel, pathogenic strains continue to emerge in aquaculture settings globally. To date, much of the research regarding treatment options and vaccine development has focused on rainbow trout ( Oncorhynchus mykiss ), but other inland‐reared salmonids are also impacted by this...
Isolation and experimental challenge of cultured burbot ( Lota lota maculosa ) with Flavobacterium columnare and Aeromonas sp. isolatesNARA Subscribed
Burbot ( Lota lota maculosa ) are a potential new species for commercial aquaculture. As burbot culture expands, there is a need to further define pathogen susceptibility and characterize aspects of the burbot immune response in an effort to assess fish health. A recent clinical diagnostic case from juvenile burbot reared at a commercial production facility resulted in the isolation and identification of Flavobacterium columna...
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...
Co‐infection of rainbow trout ( Oncorhynchus mykiss ) with infectious hematopoietic necrosis virus and Flavobacterium psychrophilumNARA Subscribed
Co‐infection of rainbow trout with infections haematopoietic necrosis virus (IHNV) and Flavobacterium psychrophilum is known to occur, and it has been speculated that a combined infection can result in dramatic losses. Both pathogens can persist in fish in an asymptomatic carrier state, but the impact of co‐infection has not been well characterized or documented. In this study, it was hypothesized that fish co‐infected with F....
Leaf economics and hydraulic traits are decoupled in five species‐rich tropical‐subtropical forestsNARA Subscribed
Leaf economics and hydraulic traits are critical to leaf photosynthesis, yet it is debated whether these two sets of traits vary in a fully coordinated manner or there is room for independent variation. Here, we tested the relationship between leaf economics traits, including leaf nitrogen concentration and leaf dry mass per area, and leaf hydraulic traits including stomatal density and vein density in five tropical‐subtropica...
