How smarter protein bars are delivering genuine taste and targeted wellness benefits—without the usual seed oils, sugars, and ...
Coarse woody debris (CWD) plays a vital role in forest ecosystems, serving as a reservoir for carbon sequestration. While global climate change is expected to exacerbate forest disturbances and lead ...
Litter accretion and its decomposition are key ecosystem processes that drive biogeochemical element cycling, the formation and build-up of soil organic matter, support biodiversity, and regulate ...
Abstract: This article proposes methods for reachability analysis of nonlinear systems, including those in closed loop with nonlinear controllers such as neural networks. The methods combine hybrid ...
Abstract: Functional data have been gaining increasing popularity in the field of time series analysis. However, so far modeling heterogeneous multivariate functional time series remains a research ...
A new study from the University of Stirling, published in Nature Ecology & Evolution, has found that climate is the dominant driver in determining how quickly dead plants decompose, allowing ...
Plant species diversity affects carbon and nutrient cycling during litter decomposition, yet the generality of the direction of this effect and its magnitude remains uncertain. With a meta-analysis ...
Understanding the consequences of ongoing biodiversity changes for ecosystems is a pressing challenge. Controlled biodiversity-ecosystem function experiments with random biodiversity loss scenarios ...

Our soils are in trouble. Over the past century, we’ve abused them with plowing, tilling and too much fertilizer. What many think of as “just dirt” is actually an incredibly complex mixture of ...
