Dryland biocrusts enhance soil carbon release in response to climate warming: Study
Biocrusts, comprised of diverse organisms such as mosses, lichens, and cyanobacteria, have an enormous influence on soil carbon dynamics. Therefore, understanding the function and response of biocrusts to environmental stressors is essential for ecos.....»»
How a thumb-sized climate migrant with a giant crab claw is disrupting the Northeast"s Great Marsh ecosystem
Nine years ago, I stood on the muddy banks of the Great Marsh, a salt marsh an hour north of Boston, and pulled a thumb-sized crab with an absurdly large claw out of a burrow. I was looking at a fiddler crab—a species that wasn't supposed to be nor.....»»
New study finds that male pathology in songbirds drives avian epidemic dynamics
New findings by biological sciences researchers at the University of Arkansas indicate that males play an outsized role in both the infection rate and spread of the avian bacterial pathogen Mycoplasma gallisepticum, a common cause of conjunctivitis i.....»»
A method to resolve quantum interference between photoionization pathways with attosecond resolution
The field of attosecond physics was established with the mission of exploring light–matter interactions at unprecedented time resolutions. Recent advancements in this field have allowed physicists to shed new light on the quantum dynamics of charge.....»»
Landscape dynamics determine the evolution of biodiversity on Earth, research reveals
Movement of rivers, mountains, oceans and sediment nutrients at the geological timescale are the central drivers of Earth's biodiversity, research published in Nature has revealed......»»
5,200 years of migrations from Mexico to California may be the origin of a mystery language
Research led by Nathan Nakatsuka of the Department of Genetics at Harvard Medical School, Boston, has found evidence supporting migrations into California from Mexico and the presence of Mexican-related ancestry in Central and Southern California sta.....»»
Study examines how massive 2022 eruption changed stratosphere chemistry and dynamics
When the Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha'apai volcano erupted on January 15, 2022 in the South Pacific, it produced a shock wave felt around the world and triggered tsunamis in Tonga, Fiji, New Zealand, Japan, Chile, Peru and the United States......»»
Study looks at RNA"s solo act on the ever-changing stage of cellular dynamics
RNA has been in the limelight for its starring role in cutting-edge vaccine technology, but RNA molecules are also key players in the inner workings of cells......»»
New hardiness zone map will help US gardeners keep pace with climate change
Southern staples like magnolia trees and camellias may now be able to grow without frost damage in once-frigid Boston......»»
Who owns and controls Danish agricultural land?
Investments are not just about money, and they don't just impact the agricultural economy but also the dynamics of the agricultural sector itself. In Denmark, external investments have played an increasingly influential role in shaping the sector. Ri.....»»
Visualizing "traffic jams" inside living cells
Researchers at the IBS Center for Molecular Spectroscopy and Dynamics (IBS CMSD), led by Director Cho Minhaeng and Professor Hong Seok-Cheol, have unveiled a revolutionary label-free microscopy technique—the Cargo-Localization Interferometric Scatt.....»»
Examining the role wolves play in boreal forest dynamics as they constrain beaver movements
A team of land managers at the University of Minnesota, working with a colleague at the University of Manitoba, has learned more about the role wolves play in boreal forest dynamics as they prey on beavers. In their study, published in Proceedings of.....»»
Dynamics of skyrmion spin states confirmed in neutron-scattering experiments
RIKEN researchers have brought low-energy devices based on spintronics one step closer, by measuring the dynamics of tiny magnetic vortices......»»
Climate predictions require increasingly accurate information on atmospheric particles
While knowledge of the mechanisms and dynamics of the growth of atmospheric nanoparticles has increased enormously in the 21st century, extensive models predicting climate change do not yet consider with enough accuracy the effect of nanoparticles on.....»»
Hydrogeologists develop innovative way to predict saltwater intrusion into groundwater
As the world warms and ice sheets melt, the ocean continually rises. The greater Boston area can expect to see between one and six feet of sea level rise by 2100, according to recent estimates......»»
