Sources of copper into the European aquatic environment
(WileyUnited States, 2022-12-01)Chemical contamination from point source discharges in developed (resource-rich) countries has been widely regulated and studied for decades; however, diffuse sources are largely unregulated and widespread. In the European ... -
Intraspecific variation in leaf traits facilitates the occurrence of trees at the Amazonia–Cerrado transition
(Elsevier BV, 2021-06)The ability of plant species to adjust key functional traits through intraspecific variation may determine their success in persisting on our planet in the future, especially in unstable habitats, such as the Amazonia–Cerrado ... -
Taking the pulse of Earth's tropical forests using networks of highly distributed plots
(Elsevier BV, 2021-08)Tropical forests are the most diverse and productive ecosystems on Earth. While better understanding of these forests is critical for our collective future, until quite recently efforts to measure and monitor them have ... -
Amazon tree dominance across forest strata
(Springer Science and Business Media LLCEngland, 2021-06)The forests of Amazonia are among the most biodiverse plant communities on Earth. Given the immediate threats posed by climate and land-use change, an improved understanding of how this extraordinary biodiversity is ... -
Thermal safety margins of plant leaves across biomes under a heatwave
(Elsevier BVNetherlands, 2022-02)Climate change has great impacts on forest ecosystems, especially with the increasing frequency of heatwaves. Thermal safety margin (TSM) calculated by the difference between body temperature and thermotolerance threshold ... -
Water table depth modulates productivity and biomass across Amazonian forests
(Wiley, 2022-08)<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:sec><jats:title>Aim</jats:title><jats:p>Water availability is the major driver of tropical forest structure and dynamics. Most research has focused on the impacts of climatic water ... -
Surface faulting earthquake clustering controlled by fault and shear-zone interactions
(Springer Science and Business Media LLCEngland, 2022-11-21)Surface faulting earthquakes are known to cluster in time from historical and palaeoseismic studies, but the mechanism(s) responsible for clustering, such as fault interaction, strain-storage, and evolving dynamic topography, ... -
An Exploration of the Contribution of Embodied, Situated Research Strategies to Cultural Ecosystem Services and Landscape Assessment Frameworks: An Environmental Empathy Case Study
(2022-01-01)Since the Millennium Ecosystem Assessment in 2005, interest has increased in cultural ecosystem services (CESs) research to understand the complexity of the non-material benefits that people obtain from ecosystems. The ... -
The Winchcombe meteorite, a unique and pristine witness from the outer solar system
(American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)United States, 2022-11-18)Direct links between carbonaceous chondrites and their parent bodies in the solar system are rare. The Winchcombe meteorite is the most accurately recorded carbonaceous chondrite fall. Its pre-atmospheric orbit and ... -
Remote sensing of boat abandonment using Google Earth
(Springer Science and Business Media LLCGermany, 2022-09-28)Abandoned boats represent a pervasive and growing problem in the coastal zone that has received little regulatory or scientific attention. In this study, we show how Google Earth can be employed to remotely identify ...
