Contrasting Soil Chemical and Microbial Responses to Moderate Thinning in a South Swedish Spruce ForestNARA Subscribed
Small-scale forest owners frequently implement thinning to enhance stand productivity, improve timber quality, and maintain structural diversity; however, its short-term effects on soil physicochemical and biological properties remain insufficiently understood. This study evaluated the short-term effects of moderate thinning on selected soil physicochemical properties, microbial indicators, and wood decomposition by comparing...
Rapid Global Deforestation Leaves Forest‐Dependent Raptors With Half of Their Suitable Habitat RemainingNARA Subscribed
Raptors—a group that includes hawks, eagles, owls, and vultures—are among the most imperiled vertebrates, with over half of species declining and one‐fifth threatened with extinction. Most raptors depend on forests for survival, yet the extent and consequences of recent deforestation within their ranges remain poorly understood. We analyzed high‐resolution global data on forest change between 2001 and 2023 within the ranges of...
Soil type and temperature determine soil respiration seasonal dynamics in dairy grasslandNARA Subscribed
Soil respiration rates ( R s ) were measured in New Zealand dairy grassland. Both season and soil type significantly affected R s . Soil temperature and soil type dominated overall R s . Soil respiration ( R s ), the CO 2 release from root respiration and microbial metabolism, affects global soil carbon storage and cycling. Only few studies have looked at R s in the southern hemisphere, especially regarding the interaction bet...
Kinin receptors regulate skeletal muscle regeneration: differential effects for B1 and B2 receptorsNARA Subscribed
Objective and design After traumatic skeletal muscle injury, muscle healing is often incomplete and produces extensive fibrosis. Bradykinin (BK) reduces fibrosis in renal and cardiac damage models through the B2 receptor. The B1 receptor expression is induced by damage, and blocking of the kallikrein-kinin system seems to affect the progression of muscular dystrophy. We hypothesized that both kinin B1 and B2 receptors could pl...
Responses of the terrestrial biosphere to rapidly changing environmental conditions are a major source of uncertainty in climate projections. In an effort to reduce this uncertainty, a wide range of global change experiments have been conducted that mimic future conditions in terrestrial ecosystems, manipulating CO 2 , temperature, and nutrient and water availability. Syntheses of results across experiments provide a more gene...
Global maps of soil temperatureNARA Subscribed
Research in global change ecology relies heavily on global climatic grids derived from estimates of air temperature in open areas at around 2 m above the ground. These climatic grids do not reflect conditions below vegetation canopies and near the ground surface, where critical ecosystem functions occur and most terrestrial species reside. Here, we provide global maps of soil temperature and bioclimatic variables at a 1‐km 2 r...
Evaluating the efficacy of potential fungicide-adjuvant combinations for control of myrtle rust in New ZealandNARA Subscribed
Myrtle rust is a serious fungal disease caused by Austropuccinia psidii affecting a number of Myrtaceae species in New Zealand and elsewhere. Control with fungicides or biologicals provides a mechanism to reduce the build-up of inoculum in the short-term while other strategies are being developed or deployed for long-term management. This study evaluated the efficacy of fungicides for control of myrtle rust under controlled co...
SoilTemp: A global database of near‐surface temperatureNARA Subscribed
Current analyses and predictions of spatially explicit patterns and processes in ecology most often rely on climate data interpolated from standardized weather stations. This interpolated climate data represents long‐term average thermal conditions at coarse spatial resolutions only. Hence, many climate‐forcing factors that operate at fine spatiotemporal resolutions are overlooked. This is particularly important in relation to...
Vertical take‐off and landing (VTOL) unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are becoming invaluable data collection platforms for cetacean research. In particular, multi‐rotors can be used to measure whales and investigate their behavior. Moreover, VTOL UAVs are increasingly accessible for recreational and commercial pilots, and close encounters with whales are widely documented. Unfortunately, quantitative assessments of potential d...
Influence of age, size and condition factor on lipid concentration in the snapper Chrysophrys auratusNARA Subscribed
Survival, growth rates and functionality of larvae have been hypothesised to correlate with higher lipid provisioning in older teleosts. To test the lipid provisioning part of this hypothesis, we investigated the total and relative (mg/g) lipid (triglyceride) concentration in both the source (liver) and sink (gonad) lipidation organs of female snapper Chrysophrys auratus across age, size and condition factor throughout its spa...
