The concentrations of nonstructural carbohydrates (NSC) in plant tissues are commonly used as an indicator of total plant carbon (C) supply; but some evidence suggests the possibility for high NSC concentrations
Understanding the mechanisms controlling forest carbon accumulation is crucial for predicting and mitigating future climate change. Yet, it remains unclear whether the dominance of ectomycorrhizal (EcM) trees influences the carbon accumulation of entire forests. In this study, we analyzed forest inventory ...
High CO2 pre-storage alone limited botrytis incidence in both naturally and artificially infected grapes, but was more effective when combined with CA. These treatments did not affect visual or sensory fruit quality. Exposure to high CO2 for 24 or 48 h effectively inhibited mycelial growth of B....
Mercury emissions from artisanal and small-scale gold mining throughout the Global South exceed coal combustion as the largest global source of mercury. We examined mercury deposition and storage in an area of the Peruvian Amazon heavily impacted by artisanal gold mining. Intact forests in the Peruv...
are highlighted. In particular, the significance of the carbon-cage design for noncarbon materials is demonstrated by superior volumetric lithium storage and stable electrode structures during cycling. Finally, a brief summary and some perspectives on the applications of carbon architectures in practical ...

First, the superhydrophilicity and the improved SSA maximize ions accessible surface area of TCC, resulting in high charge storage capacity. Second, the simple high temperature treatment endows TCC with distinctive nanoporous structure, especially a Acknowledgement Financial support from the National ...
Recent expansion of croplands in the United States has caused widespread conversion of grasslands and other ecosystems with largely unknown consequences for agricultural production and the environment. Here we assess annual land use change 2008–16 and its impacts on crop yields and wildlife habitat. ...
