Storying a responsive agroforestry technical assistance and training landscape in the USNARA Subscribed
In response to limited technical assistance capacity available to meet growing producer interest in agroforestry in the US, several inter-regional organizers of a burgeoning effort to coordinate national-scale agroforestry technical assistance and training (TAT) focused multiple sessions at the 2025 North American Agroforestry Conference on current conditions and surfacing opportunities for the development of agroforestry prof...
Rationale Cannabidiol (CBD) has previously been suggested to be an emerging pharmacotherapy for Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD), however, results from clinical studies remain mixed and potential mechanisms remain elusive. Objectives The aim of the present study is to investigate the potential for CBD to modulate neurobiological, cognitive and psychological processes during anticipation of threatening stimuli. Methods In a cross-ove...
The Kulanaokuaiki Tephra Unit 3 (900 C.E.) was a subplinian basaltic scoria eruption, the largest known to have occurred at Kīlauea’s summit. The initiation mechanism and cause(s) of this highly hazardous eruption remain poorly understood, particularly as this style of activity has not been observed in the modern period. We use olivine diffusion timescales from Fe-Mg and lithium zoning to assess magma storage timescales and ev...
Background and aims Biological nitrogen fixation (BNF) is central to long-term pedogenesis and overall terrestrial ecosystem development. Rates of asymbiotic BNF are potentially constrained by carbon (C), phosphorus (P), and/or nitrogenase cofactor elements (e.g., iron [Fe], vanadium [V], and molybdenum [Mo]), but our understanding of the biogeochemical trajectories of cofactor elements throughout pedogenesis is limited. Metho...
Since its consolidation as a sub‐discipline of ecology in the late 1990s, urban ecology has grown substantially, enhancing our understanding of how urbanization shapes biodiversity and how biodiversity adapts to urbanization. Inherently interdisciplinary in its scope and application, urban ecology is rooted in multiple theoretical and methodological foundations, potentially making the field overwhelming for newcomers as the ke...
Interpretable deep learning reveals spatiotemporal MRI features of brain aging that align with neurodegenerationNARA Subscribed
Cortical thinning and atrophy are hallmarks of brain aging that have been characterized using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Brain aging involves many neuroanatomic features whose effects on brain structure remain unexplored. To address this challenge, we trained interpretable deep neural networks (DNNs) to estimate brain age (BA) from T 1 -weighted ( T 1 w) MRI. By identifying MRI features unapparent to humans, DNNs can fi...
Freshwaters face increasing pressures from chemical, hydrological and climatic changes, yet tools for assessing their condition remain limited. River biofilms, composed of diverse microbial communities, integrate environmental signals over space and time, making them sensitive indicators of river health. Using 16S rRNA gene sequencing of more than 1600 biofilms collected across a national river network, we quantified bacterial...
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) disproportionately affects women and carriers of the apolipoprotein E ε4 allele (APOE4), yet little is known about how sex and APOE interact to influence white matter (WM) integrity during disease progression. We integrated diffusion MRI and matched blood transcriptomic data to investigate these interactions and their underlying biological mechanisms. WM microstructure was quantified using diffusion te...
Predicting the distribution of common wild mammal species across Europe - are there sufficient occurrence data?NARA Subscribed
Knowledge of where wildlife species are and in what number is critical to support robust contingency planning for diseases affecting animal and human health. For common widespread species in particular, comprehensive surveillance is impractical and challenging to coordinate. This is where models can be useful. The ENETWILD project was commissioned by the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) in 2017 to review available data an...
Crown Exposure Regulates Aboveground Wood Productivity Responses to Soil Fertility in Lowland Tropical ForestsNARA Subscribed
Understanding the drivers of aboveground wood productivity (AWP) in tropical forests is crucial for explaining ecosystem functioning and predicting their responses to environmental change. While climatic water availability is a well‐established driver, the role of soil nutrients and their interaction with other resources remains uncertain. We investigated how soil nutrients and light interactions shape AWP in lowland tropical...
Cancer treatments are improving, and the population of cancer survivors is steadily increasing. However, many survivors experience long-term side effects, including chemobrain and other age-related geriatric disorders like cognitive impairment (CI), severely impacting their quality of life. Emerging studies suggest that the gut microbiome plays a central role in cognitive health. However, the long-term effects of cancer treatm...
