Microplastic pollution is threatening planetary health and sustainable development. The microbiota colonizing microplastic surfaces, termed the plastisphere, has emerged as artificial niches that harbor both microbial risks and novel biodegradation potential. However, these two aspects of the plastisphere have often been investigated in isolation. In this review, we first elaborate on how microplastics act as vectors in facili...
Precision measurement of the Ds*+-Ds+ meson mass differenceNARA Subscribed
Monitoring evapotranspiration to link agricultural water use with crop yield at sub-field scalesNARA Subscribed
Purpose Scientists and producers have pursued precision agriculture to increase yields and limit environmental impacts. Applying precision agriculture concepts has not been straightforward, however, because complex interactions between soil and weather govern crop growth. We hypothesize that evapotranspiration (ET) is a single metric that captures interactions between plant status, soil, topography, and weather and can be used...
A machine learning framework for California vineyard water status monitoring using sUAS Imagery and short-term meteorological dataNARA Subscribed
Efficient irrigation management is essential for sustainable crop production under increasing temperatures and tightening water supplies. In vineyards, water status significantly influences vine growth, yield, and fruit quality, and deficit irrigation is often used to impose controlled stress while avoiding damaging levels of water limitation. This creates a practical need for routine, field-scale monitoring of vine water stat...
Plants employ multiple strategies to adapt to their growth environment. Characterizing key dimensions in plant trait space is important for understanding functional diversity within ecosystems. Leaf and root functional traits have been studied in the context of resource economics, but whether they covary, and through which mechanisms, is still debated. We investigated this in subtropical forests by sampling root and leaf trait...
Distributed optical fibre sensing (DOFS) is a technology that enables continuous, real-time measurements of a range of environmental parameters along the length of a fibre optic cable. In this article, we review the recently emerged applications of DOFS techniques in physical oceanography and offer a perspective on the technology's potential for future growth within the field. The introduction of DOFS to physical oceanography...
