Magma transport at stratovolcanoes dominantly occurs through dikes, which may erupt at the summit or flanks, or completely arrest within the subsurface. The variable pathways of dikes are controlled not only by external forces, like edifice loading, but also by internal magmatic processes during propagation, such as volatile exsolution, degassing, and crystallization. These processes cannot be directly observed at active volca...

Understanding ecosystem processes on our rapidly changing planet requires integration across spatial, temporal, and biological scales. We propose that spectral biology, using tools that enable near‐ to far‐range sensing by capturing the interaction of energy with matter across domains of the electromagnetic spectrum, will increasingly enable ecological insights across scales from cells to continents. Here, we focus on advances...

Greater tree diversity often increases forest productivity by increasing the fraction of light captured and the effectiveness of light use at the community scale. However, light may shape forest function not only as a source of energy or a cause of stress but also as a context cue: Plant photoreceptors can detect specific wavelengths of light, and plants use this information to assess their neighborhoods and adjust their patte...
