Verbal memory decline is an early marker of dementia. This study aims to identify significant lifestyle correlates of verbal learning and memory among older adults to inform intervention targets for maintaining cognitive health in late life. The sample included 221 community-dwelling Chinese older adults (60–80 years). Verbal learning and memory were assessed using the Hong Kong List Learning Test (HKLLT). Lifestyle factors, e...
Diagnosing Linearity Along the Carbon Cascade in Terrestrial Biosphere Models and ObservationsNARA Subscribed
Elevated carbon dioxide (eCO 2 ) acts as a fertiliser for photosynthesis, driving an increase in gross primary production (GPP). However, it is unclear how effectively increased GPP propagates along the ‘carbon (C) cascade’ to increase net primary production (NPP) and vegetation C stocks ( C veg ) in different plant compartments. Vegetation models were criticised for being overly sensitive to photosynthesis (source‐driven), ne...

Epigenetic age acceleration measures and chemotoxicity in older adults with early breast cancerNARA Subscribed
Among older adults with early breast cancer, the risk of chemotoxicity can vary widely despite similar chronological age. Here, we evaluated whether epigenetic indicators of biological age can stratify the risk of chemotoxicity in this population. In a prospective study of 394 women age > 65 with stage I–III breast cancer treated with neo/adjuvant chemotherapy, we analyzed peripheral blood DNA methylation patterns to estimate...
Stomatal closure is a pervasive response among trees exposed to flooded soil. We tested whether this response is caused by reduced hydraulic conductance in the soil-to-leaf hydraulic continuum ( k total ), and particularly by reduced root hydraulic conductance ( k root ), which has been widely hypothesized. We tracked stomatal conductance at the leaf level ( g s ) and canopy scale ( G s ) along with physiological conditions in...
Analysis of vegetation response to four climate factors based on the CTSS-RESTREND methodNARA Subscribed
Climate change significantly influences vegetation growth, necessitating an in-depth understanding of the climate-driven dynamics of vegetation to formulate ecological and environmental policies. This study addresses the limitations of traditional correlation analysis methods by utilizing a combined approach of Residual Trend Analysis (RESTREND) and Time Series Segmentation Residual Trend Analysis (TSS-RESTREND), known as CTSS...
