Organic matter production, recycling, and burial processes temporally fluctuate across the Clarion-Clipperton Zone (CCZ) in the Eastern Tropical Pacific. Between 2019 and 2022, we conducted pelagic and benthic surveys in Nauru Ocean Research Inc. contract area D (NORI-D) in the southeast CCZ to establish environmental baseline conditions. Here, we synthetise the natural ranges of variability in physicochemical and biogeochemic...
Ecological water, a new focus of China's water managementNARA Subscribed
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...
Pinpointing Drivers of Extirpation in Sea Snakes: A Synthesis of Evidence From Ashmore ReefOA Marine
Over the past decade, vertebrate populations globally have experienced significant declines in distribution and abundance. Understanding the reasons behind these population declines is the first step in implementing appropriate management responses to improve conservation outcomes. Uncovering drivers of extirpation events after the fact, however, requires a careful forensic approach to prevent similar declines elsewhere. The o...
Modelling climate change impacts on maize yields under low nitrogen input conditions in sub‐Saharan AfricaNARA Subscribed
Smallholder farmers in sub‐Saharan Africa (SSA) currently grow rainfed maize with limited inputs including fertilizer. Climate change may exacerbate current production constraints. Crop models can help quantify the potential impact of climate change on maize yields, but a comprehensive multimodel assessment of simulation accuracy and uncertainty in these low‐input systems is currently lacking. We evaluated the impact of varyin...
Early vigour in wheat is a trait that has received attention for its benefits reducing evaporation from the soil surface early in the season. However, with the growth enhancement common to crops grown under elevated atmospheric CO 2 concentrations (e[CO 2 ]), there is a risk that too much early growth might deplete soil water and lead to more severe terminal drought stress in environments where production relies on stored soil...
