We used an experiment at the Swiss tree line to investigate changes in vegetation biomass after 9\uffc2\uffa0years of free air CO2 enrichment (+200\uffc2\uffa0ppm; 2001\uffe2\uff80\uff932009) and 6\uffc2\uffa0years of soil warming (+4\uffc2\uffa0\uffc2\uffb0C; 2007\uffe2\uff80\uff932012). The study contained two key tree line species, Larix decidua and Pinus uncinata, both approximately 40\uffc2\uffa0years old, growing in heath vegetation dominated by dwarf shrubs. In 2012, we harvested and measured biomass of all trees (including root systems), above\uffe2\uff80\uff90ground understorey vegetation and fine roots. Overall, soil warming had clearer effects on plant biomass than CO2 enrichment, and there were no interactive effects between treatments. Total plant biomass increased in warmed plots containing Pinus but not in those with Larix. This response was driven by changes in tree mass (+50%), which contributed an average of 84% (5.7\uffc2\uffa0kg\uffc2\uffa0m\uffe2\uff88\uff922) of total plant mass. Pinus coarse root mass was especially enhanced by warming (+100%), yielding an increased root mass fraction. Elevated CO2 led to an increased relative growth rate of Larix stem basal area but no change in the final biomass of either tree species. Total understorey above\uffe2\uff80\uff90ground mass was not altered by soil warming or elevated CO2. However, Vaccinium myrtillus mass increased with both treatments, graminoid mass declined with warming, and forb and nonvascular plant (moss and lichen) mass decreased with both treatments. Fine roots showed a substantial reduction under soil warming (\uffe2\uff88\uff9240% for all roots &lt;2\uffc2\uffa0mm in diameter at 0\uffe2\uff80\uff9320\uffc2\uffa0cm soil depth) but no change with CO2 enrichment. Our findings suggest that enhanced overall productivity and shifts in biomass allocation will occur at the tree line, particularly with global warming. However, individual species and functional groups will respond differently to these environmental changes, with consequences for ecosystem structure and functioning.</p>", "keywords": ["0106 biological sciences", "2.

Our inadequate understanding of how plant\u2013microbial  interactions alter soil carbon decomposition may lead to poor model  predictions of terrestrial carbon feedbacks to the atmosphere.

When both roots and mycorrhizal fungi are  present in the soil, they may additively increase carbon decomposition.  However, when mycorrhizas are isolated from roots, they may limit soil  carbon decomposition by competing with free-living decomposers for  resources. We manipulated the access of roots and mycorrhizal fungi to  soil in situ in a temperate mixed deciduous forest.

A model train combining 1D-Hydrus, MODFLOW and MTD3MS software has been developed/updated to simulate water flow and PFAS transport in the soil groundwater continuum. The model train allowed to couple one or several vertical 1D models (1D-Hydrus) to simulate water flow and reactive solute transport in unsaturated zone with a 3D groundwater flow and transport models (MODFLOW and MT3DMS). The basic framework for numerical coupling is the information exchange between software.\u00a0     The model train is started by first running a stand-alone executable coupling 1D-Hydrus and MODFLOW (HYDMOD_OWHM.exe). It calculates water flow in the unsaturated and saturated zones. 1D-Hydrus model provides water fluxes from the bottom of the unsaturated zone as input values for recharge at the top of the MODFLOW model at appropriate time steps. In turn, water table depth is updated in the 1D-Hydrus model based on the outputs of the simulated hydraulic head using MODFLOW model. The coupling scheme developped by Beegum et al. (2018) has been used. The same input files as those required for MODFLOW and 1D-Hydrus are needed. \u00a0     Then, solute transport is calculated by exchanging information between the 1D-Hydrus-MODFLOW model train and MT3DMS (mt3dms5.3.exe). The 1D-Hydrus-MODFLOW model train simulated water flow and PFAS concentration at the bottom of the unsaturated zone. These outputs are then provided as input soluted fluxes at the top of the the MT3DMS model at each time step. A dedicated tool called Process 1D-Hydrus-MODFLOW to MT3DMS (postproces_hydrus_modflow2mt3dms.exe) has been developed to process time series of water fluxes and PFAS concentrations calculated by the 1D-Hydrus-MODFLOW model train at the bottom of the unsaturated zone to input files for MT3DMS model to simulate PFAS transport in the saturated zone.

The in vitro toxicity profiling followed a stepwise approach, by first testing the potential reference compounds PFOA and PFOS as well as industrial mixtures (e.g., GenX and ADONA) with a wide range of in silico and in vitro methods (see for an overview in Annex, Table A1). Based on these initial results, the most suitable in vitro toxicity endpoints (see table 7 and table 10) have been chosen for toxicity profiling the wider set of the selected PFAS compounds as well as for toxicity testing selected complex mixture (e.g., water, soil).   In the case of PMTs, at first, the potential bioactivity of several key PMTs (e.g., bisphenol A, triclosan, methyl-paraben, 5-chlorobenzotriazole, benzothiazole) have been evaluated using a range of in vitro toxicity profiling methods (see for an overview in Annex, Table A1). In a second step, the most suitable in vitro toxicity endpoints (see table 8 and 11) have been used for toxicity profiling an extended group of PMT compounds as well as for testing complex mixtures (e.g., water, soil).\u00a0   Regarding the group of PFAS, in silico modelling has been performed for a few thousands of chemicals (see Kowalski et al.,\u00a0 2023), while in case of in vitro testing the focus was on a selection of 40/2 PFAS/industrial mixtures compounds proposed by the chemical-analytical laboratories involved in PROMISCES and commercially available within a limited budget.  In this study, the in silico modeling part investigated PFAS binding potencies to nuclear hormone receptors (NHRs) such as peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs) \u03b1, \u03b2, and \u03b3 and thyroid hormone receptors (TRs) \u03b1 and \u03b2. In the first in silico step, the developed QSAR models were implemented for the screening approach of a large group of compounds (4464) from the NORMAN Database related to these 5 above mentioned NHRs. The in silico analyses indicated that the probability of PFAS binding to the receptors depends on the chain length, the number of fluorine atoms, and the number of branches in the molecule. According to the findings, the considered PFAS group bind to the PPAR\u03b1, \u03b2, and \u03b3 only with low or moderate probability, while in the case of TR \u03b1 and \u03b2 it is similar except that those chemicals with longer chains show a moderately high probability of binding.  The in silico analysis shows from the here tested 15 endpoints that most PFAS reflect a high binding probability to sex hormone receptors (anti-AR and ER). however, receptors from the peroxisome proliferator-activated (PPAR \u03b1, \u03b2, \u03b3) glucocorticoid (GR and anti-GR), liver X (LXR \u03b1, \u03b2) and retinoid X (RXR \u03b1) groups are unaffected or slightly affected by PFAS (low and moderate binding probability).   Regarding the parallel in vitro bioassay toxicity analysis, an established standardised in vitro test battery (consisting of e.g., genotoxicity, neurotoxicity, cytotoxicity, obesity and early warning testing) was applied to meet specific criteria of PFAS/iPM(T) (endpoints, sensitivity and specificity).   Based on existing and improved CALUX bioassays, different toxicological endpoints involving metabolic syndrome (obesity related PPAR), endocrine EATS testing, genotoxicity (p53 related) and general toxicity pathways (e.g. early warning PXR) to characterise PM(T) properties of chemicals were assessed.   The in vitro bioassay groups addressed 40 PFAS compounds (e.g. all regulated 20 PFAS) and industrial standards (e.g., ADONA, GenX) with a combination of a wide range of CALUX bioassay endpoints (e.g., table 7 with 6 endpoints) and additional general toxicity in vitro bioassays (e.g., table 9 with 8 in vitro endpoints).   Potency factors for selected PFAS/ iPM(T) have been established for several of the here used in vitro bioassays by two bioassay laboratories (UBA, BDS). Comparing both data sets, 80% of the relative potency factors for PFAS tested on e.g., the TTR-TRb CALUX, were found to be within an order of magnitude.  Potency factors for selected PFAS have been established for each of the here used in vitro human cell-based CALUX bioassays. For example, in case of the TTR-TRb CALUX bioassay, the RPF values are rang from non-detected (e.g., several FTOH compounds) to the P37DMOA compound (RPF = up to 2.3; see tables 7 and 10).  Additional up to 22 PM(T) chemicals (e.g., see table 8 and 10) have been tested with a combination of a wide range of CALUX bioassays (e.g., table 8 with 6 endpoints) and additional general toxicity in vitro bioassays (e.g., table 10 with 4 in vitro endpoints). This included i) selecting a wide range of reporter gene assays to screen the toxic profiles of a set of PM(T) chemicals, ii) selecting the most suitable bioassay panel, and iii) validating bioassay panels and cross-validating the responses obtained from the selected panel of human cell-line based bioassays  Potency factors for selected iPM(T) have been established for each of the here used in vitro human cell-based CALUX bioassays. For all CALUX bioassays applied, RPF-values ranged from not-detected (e.g., several in vitro endpoints at benzotriazole) up to RPF values above 0.5 for several PMTs (e.g., galaxolide and triclosan, see table 8, or methyl-paraben in table 10 at the male hormone inhibition).  In a second step, the 3 most active PFAS compounds on the in vitro TTR-TRb CALUX (PFOA with RPF = 1; P37DMOA with RPF = 2.3; 6:2 FTAB with RPF = 0.00015; see table 7) have been used to find in in silico modelling new PFAS structure-analogue compounds. In case of PFOA 12 structure-in vitro toxicity analogues were found, while in case of P37DMOA only 3 analogues and in case of 6:2 FTAB only 7 analogues were found.  Our study shows that such an combined approach of in silico and in\u00a0 vitro toxicity evaluations of single PFAS congeners (from the large group of PFAS) is a promising and suitable strategy to cover a large variety of different key events in toxicology in a time- and cost-efficient way. Such early key events can lead to protein production or molecular signalling that occur in individual cells. Later events can include altered tissue or organ function. Such key events are important because after the molecular initiating event, they can characterize the progression of the toxicity.  Relative potency factors (RPFs) have been determined here by a combination of in silico and vitro toxicity tools and can further help to give first toxicity indications for the handful regulated and the not yet regularly tested/regulated PFAS to be included in the testing strategy for single compounds and complex mixtures of these compounds.", "keywords": ["Deliverable", "thyroid hormone transport competition", "TTR TR CALUX", "PFAS", "in vitro assay (CALUX)", "non-animal methods (NAM)", "in silico modeling"], "contacts": [{"organization": "Behnisch, Peter, Sosnowska, Anita, Mombelli, Enrico, Kuckelkorn, Jochen,", "roles": ["creator"]}]}, "links": [{"href": "https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.14945573"}, {"rel": "self", "type": "application/geo+json", "title": "10.5281/zenodo.14945573", "name": "item", "description": "10.5281/zenodo.14945573", "href": "https://repository.soilwise-he.eu/cat/collections/metadata:main/items/10.5281/zenodo.14945573"}, {"rel": "collection", "type": "application/json", "title": "Collection", "name": "collection", "description": "Collection", "href": "https://repository.soilwise-he.eu/cat/collections/metadata:main"}], "time": {"date": "2025-02-28T00:00:00Z"}}, {"id": "10.5281/zenodo.15395350", "type": "Feature", "geometry": null, "properties": {"updated": "2026-09-20T16:20:29Z", "type": "Dataset", "title": "NSW 25-ha Drone Survey Grid", "description": "NSW 25-ha Drone Survey Grid   This repository provides a 25-hectare (500m x 500m) resolution spatial grid for New South Wales.

In this study, we developed a framework that combines a protocol for validating nocturnal thermal drone detections in real-time with N-mixture modelling to estimate the landscape-scale abundance of arboreal folivores. As a case study, we estimated the abundance of koalas (Phascolarctos cinereus) across seven reserves (673 km\u00b2) in New South Wales, Australia. We conducted thermal drone surveys of 208, 25-ha sites stratified across vegetation type and fire history, on average, three times over consecutive nights (range 1\u201312 repeats), between 18:00\u201304:00 h (May to September). All koala detections were validated by field personnel or in real-time with drones equipped with a thermal camera and searchlight. Koalas were detected on 245 occasions. We fitted N-mixture models to validated repeat count data to quantify the effect of site and observation variables on abundance and detectability. Using our top set of competing models, we estimated that 4357 koalas (95 % CI = 2319\u20138307) occupy the seven reserves, with a mean detection probability of 0.22 (95 % CI = 0.15\u20130.31) over all survey occasions. We found detection probability decreased with increases in relative humidity and temperature. Koala abundance was negatively associated with fire severity, elevation, tree height and soil clay content, and positively associated with available water content, forest cover and soil organic carbon. Our framework, which combines real-time field validated drone data while accounting for imperfect detection, improves the accuracy of abundance estimates for arboreal folivores across large-scales.    \ud83d\udcc2 Contents     Grid_Albers_00500m_NSW_Polys.shp and associated filesA shapefile representing 25-ha (500 m \u00d7 500 m) grid cells across New South Wales.     \ud83d\uddfa\ufe0f Spatial Details     CRS: GDA94 / Australian Albers (EPSG:3577)  Geometry Type: Polygon  Cell Size: 500 m \u00d7 500 m (25 hectares)  Total Features: 3,222,693  Attribute Fields: Id (unique cell identifier)  Bounding Box (minx, miny, maxx, maxy):(826250.0, \u20134212250.0, 2082750.0, \u20133181250.0)     \u2705 Intended Applications     Thermal drone survey planning  Spatial alignment of repeatable wildlife monitoring  Koala and arboreal mammal detection  Binomial or Poisson N-mixture model design  Landscape-scale ecological stratification     \u26a0\ufe0f Data Use and Licensing   This grid layer was provided by Allen Mcilwee (NSW Government) and is published with permission as open-access supplementary material to support the following paper:    Ryan, S.A., Southwell, D.M., Beranek, C.T., Clulow, J., Jordan, N.R., Witt, R.R.

The low mean SOC content in subsoils makes its quantification and characterization challenging. Thus, new approaches are required to depict the SOC stocks distribution in full soil profile. Hyperspectral imaging of soil core samples can provide high spatial resolution of the vertical distribution of SOC in a soil profile.

Soil cores were collected down to a depth of one meter in grasslands of 15 organic farms located in the Lungau Valley, in Austria. Some samples were divided into five depths in the field for classical bulk soil measurements (total carbon and nitrogen, texture, pH, EC and bulk density) on disturbed samples. Undisturbed soil cores were sliced vertically for laboratory hyperspectral imaging in the range of Vis-NIR (400-1000 nm). We were able to reveal the hotspots of OC and map the OC distribution in soil profile by applying a variety of machine learning approaches (i.e. partial least square and random forest regression) as a function of spectral responses. A digital elevation model was further exploited to investigate the effects of topographical factors such as elevation, aspect and slope on SOC profile distribution. Landsat 8 data were also used to depict the spatial variability of land insensitive cover/vegetation in study area.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;         </p>", "keywords": ["2.

Historic Landscape and Soil Sustainability (MSCA-IF-2019 - Individual Fellowships)   The HiLSS Project aims to investigate the relationships between sustainability and landscape heritage with particular reference to soil loss and degradation over the long term. The project will take a multidisciplinary approach that combines archaeology, Historical Landscape Characterisation (HLC), geosciences, and computer-based geospatial analysis (GIS - Geographical Information Systems) and modelling (RUSLE - Revisited Universal Soil Loss Equation). The research objectives of the HiLSS project are to quantify the impact of human activities during the Late Holocene in order to create spatial models which can inform the development of sustainable conservation strategies for rural landscape heritage. This project will focus on two mountainous regions that present historical and cultural similarities but located in different climatic zones of Europe (1- Tuscan-Emilian Apennines, Italy; 2- Northern-mid Galicia, Spain). In previous HLC studies, land-use has been evaluated from the perspective of cultural heritage, whereas RUSLE have used it as a proxy for the land-cover of an area and its effect on soil erosion. The HiLSS project will propose an innovative methodology that combines both the historic/cultural values and the environmental values of land-use to inform development of a model for the sustainable conservation. By considering the different agricultural land-use HLC types in GIS-RUSLE modelling, it will be possible to quantify the effect on soil loss for each HLC type and consequently to devise more environmentally sustainable management for each type. Environmental sustainability and historic landscape conservation are typically treated as two separate fields, but the HiLSS project will develop a transformative model for interdisciplinary research, proposing a new way to embrace both cultural and natural values as components of the same landscape management plans.

Here, we quantify global N2O formation, transport, and emission along the aquatic continuum and their changes using a spatially explicit, mechanistic, coupled biogeochemistry-hydrology model. The global inland-water N2O emission increased from 0.4 to 1.3 Tg N yr-1 during 1900-2010 due to (1) growing N2O inputs mainly from groundwater and (2) increased inland-water N2O production, largely in reservoirs. Inland waters currently contribute 7 (5-10)% to global total N2O emissions. The highest inland-water N2O emissions are typically in and downstream of reservoirs and areas with high population density and intensive agricultural activities in eastern and southern Asia, southeastern North America, and Europe.

Pomel) is a parasitic plant, which causes severe yield losses in major crops worldwide. Because of its broad host range, including numerous non-parasitic weed species, the persistence of its seeds in the soil, and the poor efficiency of available management techniques, broomrape management is complex. The objective of the present paper was to develop a broomrape-dynamics model to support the design of management strategies combining multiple techniques aiming at long-term control of broomrape. Towards this goal, we developed a simulation model with formalisms and parameters based on data from our own experiments and the literature. This model called  PheraSys  combines 1) a demographic submodel to predict broomrape seed bank dynamics, 2) a trophic-relationships submodel to predict the effect of parasitism on crops and weeds, and 3) a submodel of weed dynamics in agroecosystems to predict the growth of crops and weeds from cropping techniques and pedoclimate. Thanks to an individual representation of each host plant,  PheraSys  is able to simulate complex heterogeneous canopies. This model can be used as a tool to test management strategies including crop mixtures and relying on biological regulations by weeds.", "keywords": ["[SDV.SA.AGRO] Life Sciences [q-bio]/Agricultural sciences/Agronomy", "0106 biological sciences", "2.

Understanding the effect of NMP on both crop yield and key water-quality parameters in agricultural watersheds requires a comprehensive evaluation that takes into consideration important NMP attributes and location-specific farming conditions. This study applied the Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) to investigate the effects of crop and rotation sequence, tillage type, and nutrient N application rate on crop yield and the associated groundwater [Formula: see text] leaching and sediment loss. The SWAT model was applied to the Thomas Brook Watershed, located in the most intensively managed agricultural region of Nova Scotia, Canada. Cropping systems evaluated included seven fertilizer application rates and two tillage systems (i.e., conventional tillage and no-till). The analysis reflected cropping systems commonly managed by farmers in the Annapolis Valley region, including grain corn-based and potato-based cropping systems, and a vegetable-horticulture system. ANOVA models were developed and used to assess the effects of crop management choices on crop yield and two water-quality parameters (i.e., [Formula: see text] leaching and sediment loading). Results suggest that existing recommended N-fertilizer rate can be reduced by 10-25\u00a0%, for grain crop production, to significantly lower [Formula: see text] leaching (P\u00a0>\u00a00.05) while optimizing the crop yield.

In a fire, timber\u2014a natural polymer\u2014degrades in the thermochemical process of charring, causing it to lose structural strength. In spite of significant research on the physics of charring, the chemical kinetics\u2014reactions and kinetic parameters for pyrolysis and oxidation\u2014remains a scientific challenge to model accurately. Current kinetic models are either computationally too expensive or neglect key chemical pathways. Here we derive a new appropriate kinetic model for fire science at the microscale using a novel methodology. First, we built a kinetic model for each component of timber (cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin) from literature studies and experiments of the components. Then, we combined these three models into one kinetic model (8 reactions, 8 chemical species) for timber. This approach accounts for chemical differences among timber species. However, the timber model is only able to reproduce the trend in the experiments when literature parameters are used. Using multi-objective inverse modelling, we extract a new set of optimised kinetic parameters from 16 high-quality experiments from the literature. The novel optimised kinetic model is able to reproduce these 16 and a further 64 (blind predictions) experiments nearly within the experimental uncertainty, spanning different heating rates (1\u201360\u2009K/min), oxygen concentrations (0\u201360 %), and even isothermal experiments (220\u2013300\u2009\u00b0C). Furthermore, the model outperforms current kinetic models for fire science in accuracy across a wide range of conditions without an increase in complexity. Incorporated into a model of heat and mass transfer, this new and optmised kinetic model could improve the understanding of timber burning and has the potenial to lead to safer designs of timber buildings.", "keywords": ["Technology", "Engineering", " Chemical", "Energy & Fuels", "THERMOGRAVIMETRIC ANALYSIS", "Charring", "0904 Chemical Engineering", "Chemical", "Timber", "02 engineering and technology", "WOOD", "7.

Subadults of first generation (F1) were exposed in microcosms in a 28-day kinetic study. Four exposure sites were chosen around the smelter along a soil pollution gradient (vegetation and soil otherwise comparable).

Accumulation kinetic patterns were similar between snail species but C. nemoralis showed greater TM levels than C. aspersus. Some inter-population differences were revealed in TM accumulation (bioaccumulation factors, accumulation kinetics) but did not suggest consistent adaptive responses. We did not detect negative effects of TM exposure on snail condition (body weight, shell size, shell weight). ME C. aspersus snails produced heavier shells than BE snails under exposure to TMs at the highest level, suggesting an adaptive response. The protocol used in this study, however, did not allow unambiguously distinguishing whether this response was due to genetic adaptation or to maternal effects.

Yet, little research is available on how to support real-time precision irrigation that varies within-season in both time and space. We investigate the integration of remotely sensed NDVI time-series, soil moisture sensor measurements, and root zone simulation forecasts for in-season delineation of dynamic management zones (MZ) and for a variable rate irrigation scheduling in order to improve irrigation scheduling and crop performance. Delineation of MZ was conducted in a 5.8-ha maize field during 2018 using Sentinel-2 NDVI time-series and an unsupervised classification. The number and spatial extent of MZs changed through the growing season. A network of soil moisture sensors was used to interpret spatiotemporal changes of the NDVI. Soil water content was a significant contributor to changes in crop vigor across MZs through the growing season. Real-time cluster validity function analysis provided in-season evaluation of the MZ design. For example, the total within-MZ daily soil moisture relative variance decreased from 85% (early vegetative stages) to below 25% (late reproductive stages). Finally, using the Hydrus-1D model, a workflow for in-season optimization of irrigation scheduling and water delivery management was tested. Data simulations indicated that crop transpiration could be optimized while reducing water applications between 11 and 28.5% across the dynamic MZs. The proposed integration of spatiotemporal crop and soil moisture data can be used to support management decisions to effectively control outputs of crop \u00d7 environment \u00d7 management interactions.", "keywords": ["0106 biological sciences", "2.

In particular, the timing of leaf senescence is of fundamental importance to trees' nutrient stoichiometry and drought tolerance and therefore to trees' vigor and fecundity. Nevertheless, there is no integrated view on the significance, and direction, of seasonal trends in leaf senescence, especially for years characterized by extreme weather events. Difficulties in the acquisition and analyses of hierarchical data can account for this. We collected four years of chlorophyll content index (CCI) measurements in thirty-eight individuals of four deciduous tree species (Betula pendula, Fagus sylvatica, Populus tremula and Quercus robur) in Belgium, Norway and Spain, and analyzed these data using generalized additive models for location, scale and shape (GAMLSS). As a result, (I) the phenological strategy and seasonal trend of leaf senescence in these tree species could be clarified for exceptionally dry and warm years, and (II) the daily average (air) temperature, global radiation, and vapor pressure deficit could be established as main drivers behind the variation in the timing of the senescence transition date. Our results show that the onset of the re-organization phase in the leaf senescence, which we approximated and defined as local minima in the second derivative of a CCI graph, was in all species mainly negatively affected by the average temperature, global radiation and vapor pressure deficit. All together the variables explained 89 to 98% of the variability in the leaf senescence timing. An additional finding is that the generalized beta type 2 and generalized gamma distributions are well suited to model the chlorophyll content index, while the senescence transition date can be modeled using the normal-exponential-student-t, generalized gamma and zero-inflated Box-Cox Cole and Green distributions for beech, oak and birch, and poplar, respectively.", "keywords": ["0106 biological sciences", "Physics", "ta1183", "Silver birch", "15.

Despite its crucial role, the region faces substantial environmental challenges like soil erosion and land degradation, necessitating the adoption of sustainable land management practices. The aim of this study was to investigate the determinants of the adoption of Soil and Water Conservation Practices (SWCPs) among smallholder farmers in central Kenya. Primary data was collected from three administrative wards of Tharaka Nithi County (TNC) using 150 semi-structured household (HH) questionnaires, Key Informant Interviews (KII), and field observations. STATA and Microsoft Office Excel software were used to analyse the HH survey data, using descriptive statistics, inferential statistics, and the binary logistic regression model. Qualitative data from the KII was analysed through synthesized text summaries. The results show that 65.33 % of the respondents adopted SWCPs on their farms, while 34.67 % did not at the time of our study. The study findings further revealed that farm size (\u03b2\u00a0\u200b=\u00a0\u200b0.641; p\u00a0\u200b<\u00a0\u200b0.05), and Agro-ecological zone (AEZ) (\u03b2\u00a0\u200b=\u00a0\u200b1.341; p\u00a0\u200b<\u00a0\u200b0.05) positively influenced the adoption of SWCPs.

Challenges in SWCPs implementation included inadequate capital (76.53 %), high labor costs (62.24 %), lack of technical knowledge (34.69 %), lack of infrastructure (17.35 %), and insecure land tenure (1.02 %). These study findings hold the potential to guide the TNC government in formulating tailored strategies that can foster the adoption and sustainable implementation of SWCPs among smallholder farmers.

In Mahan, Siebert, Blanchard, Badro, et al.

The Comment of Jennings, Wade, and Llovet (2019, https://doi.org/10.1029/2018JB016930) contends that secondary X\uffe2\uff80\uff90ray fluorescence, originating from the Cu holders that experiments are routinely welded to (\uffe2\uff80\uff9clift\uffe2\uff80\uff90out\uffe2\uff80\uff9d grids), compromises the novel Cu partitioning data of Mahan, Siebert, Blanchard, Badro, et al.

To dispel these concerns and further validate our data, we have (i) investigated secondary X\uffe2\uff80\uff90ray fluorescence effects in a Cu\uffe2\uff80\uff90free experiment and provided a matrix\uffe2\uff80\uff90matched data correction, and (ii) rewelded a DAC experiment from a Cu grid to a Mo grid for a comparison of compositional analyses and Cu partitioning results. Secondary fluorescence results, in fact much like the simulated results in Jennings, Wade, and Llovet (2019), indicate that this effect is essentially equal in the metal and silicate phases and therefore has no actual impact on Cu metal\uffe2\uff80\uff90silicate partition coefficients. Moreover, Cu concentrations and partition coefficients determined using the Mo grid are statistically indistinguishable from that determined using the Cu grid. All results decisively illustrate that while secondary X\uffe2\uff80\uff90ray fluorescence must be considered where absolute concentrations are the final objective, it has had no meaningful impact on the partitioning data and observations of Mahan, Siebert, Blanchard, Badro, et al.

To fill this gap and investigate the response of lichens with different tolerance to atmospheric N deposition, thalli of the sensitive Evernia prunastri and the tolerant Xanthoria parietina were exposed for ten weeks to different forms and doses of N in a field manipulation experiment where confounding factors were minimized. During this period, several parameters, namely total N, \u03b415N and chlorophyll a fluorescence, were measured. Under the experimental conditions, \u03b415N in lichens quantitatively responded to the \u03b415N of released gaseous ammonia (NH3). Although a high correlation between the isotopic signatures in lichen tissue and supplied N was found both in tolerant and sensitive species, chlorophyll a fluorescence indicated that the sensitive species very soon lost its photosynthetic functionality with increasing N availability. The most damaging response to the different N chemical forms was observed with dry deposition of NH3, although wet deposition of ammonium ions had a significant observable physiological impact.

Their presence in terrestrial environments and their migration to aquatic environments may become a risk for the health of ecosystems and, through them, of humans. Understanding the interaction between particle properties and physicochemical and hydrodynamic factors is crucial to evaluate their fate and their potential infiltration towards groundwater. This study investigates the impact of particle size on MNPs transport through sand under unsaturated conditions. Infiltration column experiments with polystyrene MNPs ranging from 120 to 10,000\u00a0nm were conducted and supported by numerical modelling to derive reactive transport parameters. Results show a significant effect of particle size on the transport of MNPs, with higher recovery values observed for smaller particles (120\u00a0nm; 95.11%) compared to larger particles (1000\u00a0nm; 71.44%). No breakthrough was observed for 10,000\u00a0nm particles, indicating a complete retention within the quartz sand matrix. DLVO theory confirmed the dominance of electrostatic repulsive forces between MNPs and sand grains, suggesting an unfavourable environment for MNPs to adhere to quartz sand. Consequently, particle retention in the sand matrix occurs predominantly by physical processes. Equilibrium sorption modelling reveals that larger particles (1000\u00a0nm) tend to be immobilized in small pores throats due to straining, resulting in lower recoveries. When they are not trapped, particles tend to travel faster through preferential flows due to a size exclusion effect, evidenced by shorter arrival times at the column outlet compared to tracers.

A Possible Explanation Based On Nitrogen Dynamics", "description": "Abstract   When trees are planted onto former pastures, soil carbon stocks typically either remain constant or decrease, with decreases more common in regions with higher rainfall. We conducted a modelling analysis to assess whether those changes in soil carbon, especially the interaction with rainfall, could be understood through consideration of nitrogen balances. The study was based on simulations with the whole-system ecophysiological model CenW which allowed explicit modelling of both carbon and nitrogen pools and their fluxes through plants and soil organic matter.  We found that in a modelled coniferous forest without excess water input, total system nitrogen stocks remained similar to pre-forestation values because there were few pathways for nitrogen losses, and without biological nitrogen fixation or fertiliser inputs, gains were restricted to small inputs from atmospheric deposition. However, tree biomass and the litter layer accumulated considerable amounts of nitrogen. This accumulation of nitrogen came at the expense of depleting soil nitrogen stocks. With the change from input of grass litter that is low in lignin to forest litter with higher lignin concentration, organic-matter C:N ratios increased so that more carbon could be stored per unit of soil nitrogen which partly negated the effect of reduced nitrogen stocks. The increase in C:N ratios was initially confined to the surface litter layer because of slow transfer of material to the mineral soil. Over a period of decades, soil C:N ratios eventually increased in the soil as well.  Simulations with different amounts of precipitation showed that greater amounts of nitrogen were leached from systems where water supply exceeded the plants\u2019 requirements. Reduced nitrogen stocks then caused a subsequent reduction in soil organic carbon stocks. These simulations thus provided a consistent explanation for the observation of greater losses of soil organic carbon in high-rainfall systems after converting pastures to forests. More generally, the simulations showed that explicit modelling of the nitrogen cycle can put important constraints on possible changes in soil-carbon stocks that may occur after land-use change.", "keywords": ["land use change", "Rainfall", "Mitigation", "ecophysiology", "nitrogen cyc Afforestation", "Greenhouse", "Nitrogen", "Rain", "CenW", "Land-use change", "lignin", "Greenhouse effect", "afforestation", "carbon cycle", "Forest", "Reforestation", "Keywords: Carbon", "2.

In this study, a numerical procedure to determine RRWD thresholds was developed through coupling AquaCrop software with genetic-simplex algorithms. Using a two-year field lysimetric experiment for winter wheat conducted in the North China Plain (NCP), AquaCrop adequately simulated canopy cover, final aboveground biomass, grain yield, seasonal evapotranspiration, and soil water storage, with the normalized root mean squared error (NRMSE) smaller than 15 % and determination coefficient (R2) larger than 0.84. The global optimum range of RRWD thresholds was preliminarily determined using the genetic algorithm, and subsequently final RRWD thresholds were optimized by fine tuning using the simplex algorithm. The RRWD threshold combinations (composed of the RRWD thresholds to trigger different sequential irrigation events) for varying number of irrigation events (i.e.1\u20134) were optimized based on 39 years of historical meteorological data, and the effects of climate change on the optimal crop yield (Ya, opt), water productivity (WPopt), and the combinations of optimized RRWD threshold (RRWDopt) were investigated. The results indicated that both Ya, opt and WPopt generally increased with time showing a tendency of gradually elevated annual CO2 concentration and seasonal average effective temperature. Irrespective of the number of irrigation events during the winter wheat growing season, the differences of RRWDopt for different combinations of irrigation sequence and event in the same kind of hydrological year were relatively small, with a coefficient of variation consistently less than 23 % and a mean of 8 %. When combinations of mean RRWDopt were applied into AquaCrop to trigger irrigation for winter wheat in various hydrological years, the simulated yield (Ya, sim) and water productivity (WPsim) under 1\u20134 irrigation events were found to be comparable to their respective optimums (Ya, opt and WPopt), with all the values of Ya, sim (WPsim) falling in the range of 92 %Ya, opt (90 %WPopt). Therefore, the mean RRWDopt should be helpful to formulate rational irrigation management strategies of winter wheat under changing climatic conditions in the NCP.", "keywords": ["HD9000-9495", "2.

Improving soil C projections is of a high priority for Earth system modeling in the future IPCC and other assessments. To achieve this goal, we suggest that (1) model structures should reflect real\uffe2\uff80\uff90world processes, (2) parameters should be calibrated to match model outputs with observations, and (3) external forcing variables should accurately prescribe the environmental conditions that soils experience. First, most soil C cycle models simulate C input from litter production and C release through decomposition. The latter process has traditionally been represented by first\uffe2\uff80\uff90order decay functions, regulated primarily by temperature, moisture, litter quality, and soil texture. While this formulation well captures macroscopic soil organic C (SOC) dynamics, better understanding is needed of their underlying mechanisms as related to microbial processes, depth\uffe2\uff80\uff90dependent environmental controls, and other processes that strongly affect soil C dynamics. Second, incomplete use of observations in model parameterization is a major cause of bias in soil C projections from ESMs. Optimal parameter calibration with both pool\uffe2\uff80\uff90 and flux\uffe2\uff80\uff90based data sets through data assimilation is among the highest priorities for near\uffe2\uff80\uff90term research to reduce biases among ESMs. Third, external variables are represented inconsistently among ESMs, leading to differences in modeled soil C dynamics. We recommend the implementation of traceability analyses to identify how external variables and model parameterizations influence SOC dynamics in different ESMs. Overall, projections of the terrestrial C sink can be substantially improved when reliable data sets are available to select the most representative model structure, constrain parameters, and prescribe forcing fields.</p>", "keywords": ["550", "LAND MODELS", "Oceanography", "HETEROTROPHIC RESPIRATION", "01 natural sciences", "Atmospheric Sciences", "LITTER DECOMPOSITION", "ORGANIC-CARBON", "Geoinformatics", "GLOBAL CLIMATE-CHANGE", "DATA-ASSIMILATION", "Meteorology & Atmospheric Sciences", "TEMPERATURE SENSITIVITY", "CMIP5", "MICROBIAL MODELS", "0105 earth and related environmental sciences", "2.

A series of numerical simulations by discrete element method (DEM) were performed for a simple rock block and slope geometry, where a particle agglomerate of prismatic shape is released along a sliding plane and subsequently collides onto a flat horizontal plane at a sharp kink point. The rock block is modeled as an assembly of bonded spherical particles with fragmentation arising from bond breakages. Bond strength and stiffness were calibrated against available experimental data. We analyzed how dynamic fragmentation occurs at impact, together with the generated fragment size distributions and consequently their runout for different slope topographies. It emerges that after impact, the vertical momentum of the granular system decreases sharply to nil, while the horizontal momentum increases suddenly and then decreases. The sudden boost of horizontal momentum can effectively facilitate the transport of fragments along the bottom floor. The rock fragmentation intensity is associated with the input energy and increases quickly with the slope angle. Gentle slopes normally lead to long spreading distance and large fragments, while steep slopes lead to high momentum boosts and impact forces, with efficient rock fragmentation and fine deposits. The fragment size decreases, while the fracture stress and fragment number both increase with the impact loading strain rate, supporting the experimental observations. The fragment size distributions can be well fitted by the Weibull's distribution function.</p>", "keywords": ["550", "DEM; dynamic fragmentation; loading rate; momentum boost; rock avalanche; runout;", "13.

We found that, on average, concept and subdiscipline diversity in biodiversity science were either stable or declining, patterns which were driven by the persistence of rare concepts and subdisciplines and a decline in the diversity of common concepts and subdisciplines, respectively.

With this approach, we aim to address the potential biases in parameter calibration due to short\uffe2\uff80\uff90term aftershock incompleteness, embracing incompleteness instead of avoiding it. Using synthetic tests, we show that both methods can accurately invert the parameters of simulated catalogs. We then use them to estimate ETAS parameters for California using the earthquake catalog since 1932. To explore how model calibration, inclusion of small events, and accounting for short\uffe2\uff80\uff90term incompleteness affect earthquakes' predictability, we systematically compare variants of ETAS models based on the second approach in pseudo\uffe2\uff80\uff90prospective forecasting experiments for California. Our proposed model significantly outperforms the ETAS null model, with decreasing information gain for increasing target magnitude threshold. We find that the ability to include small earthquakes for simulation of future scenarios is the primary driver of the improvement and that accounting for incompleteness is necessary. Our results have significant implications for our understanding of earthquake interaction mechanisms and the future of seismicity forecasting.</p>", "keywords": ["Physics - Geophysics", "13.

The model reproduced runoff and soil loss of the dataset in the validation setting with R2adj of 0.89 and 0.76, respectively. Satisfactory agreement for the water phase was found, with calibrated saturated hydraulic conductivity (ksat) values falling within the interquartile range of ksat predicted with 14 different pedotransfer functions, or being within one order of magnitude. The chosen approach also well reflected specific experimental setups contained in the dataset dealing with the effects of consecutive rainfall and different soil water conditions.

Though imposed measures to control these pathogens are generally ineffective, even among susceptible taxa, some hosts can limit bacterial loads and symptom expression. Mechanisms by which this resistance is achieved are poorly understood. In particular, it is still unknown how differences in vascular structure may influence biofilm growth and spread within a host. To address this, we developed a novel theoretical framework to describe biofilm behaviour within xylem vessels, adopting a polymer-based modelling approach. We then parameterised the model to investigate the relevance of xylem vessel diameters on Xylella fastidiosa resistance among olive cultivars. The functionality of all vessels was severely reduced under infection, with hydraulic flow reductions of 2-3 orders of magnitude. However, results suggest wider vessels act as biofilm incubators; allowing biofilms to develop over a long time while still transporting them through the vasculature. By contrast, thinner vessels become blocked much earlier, limiting biofilm spread. Using experimental data on vessel diameter distributions, we were able to determine that a mechanism of resistance in the olive cultivar Leccino is a relatively low abundance of the widest vessels, limiting X. fastidiosa spread.", "keywords": ["Xylella fastidiosa", "0301 basic medicine", "0303 health sciences", "Xylem-limited bacterial pathogen", "Olive", "Models", " Theoretical", "Xylella", "630", "olive", "03 medical and health sciences", "Xylem", "Olea", "Biofilms", "multiphase model", "biofilm formation", "Biofilm formation", "Multiphase model", "xylem-limited bacterial pathogen", "Plant Diseases"]}, "links": [{"href": "https://iris.cnr.it/bitstream/20.500.14243/516500/1/Walker%20et%20al.%2c%202024.pdf"}, {"href": "https://eprints.soton.ac.uk/490090/1/1-s2.0-S0022519324000183-main.pdf"}, {"href": "https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jtbi.2024.111737"}, {"rel": "related", "href": "https://repository.soilwise-he.eu/cat/collections/metadata:main/items/Journal%20of%20Theoretical%20Biology", "name": "related record", "description": "related record", "type": "application/json"}, {"rel": "self", "type": "application/geo+json", "title": "10.1016/j.jtbi.2024.111737", "name": "item", "description": "10.1016/j.jtbi.2024.111737", "href": "https://repository.soilwise-he.eu/cat/collections/metadata:main/items/10.1016/j.jtbi.2024.111737"}, {"rel": "collection", "type": "application/json", "title": "Collection", "name": "collection", "description": "Collection", "href": "https://repository.soilwise-he.eu/cat/collections/metadata:main"}], "time": {"date": "2024-03-01T00:00:00Z"}}, {"id": "10.1002/we.2621", "type": "Feature", "geometry": null, "properties": {"updated": "2026-09-20T16:14:10Z", "type": "Journal Article", "created": "2021-02-14", "title": "Conditional variational autoencoders for probabilistic wind turbine blade fatigue estimation using Supervisory, Control, and Data Acquisition data", "description": "Abstract<p>Wind turbine fatigue estimation is based on time\uffe2\uff80\uff90consuming Monte Carlo simulations for various wind conditions, followed by cycle\uffe2\uff80\uff90counting procedures and the application of engineering damage models.

Climate change presents a serious threat to global biodiversity. Loss of pollinators in particular has major implications, with extirpation of these species potentially leading to severe losses in agriculture and, thus, economic losses. In this study, we forecast the effects of climate change on the distribution of hoverflies in Southeast Europe using species distribution modelling and climate change scenarios for two time-periods. For 2041\u20132060, 19 analysed species were predicted to increase their areas of occupancy, with the other 25 losing some of their ranges. For 2061\u20132080, 55% of species were predicted to increase their area of occupancy, while 45% were predicted to experience range decline. In general, range size changes for most species were below 20%, indicating a relatively high resilience of hoverflies to climate change when only environmental variables are considered. Additionally, range-restricted species are not predicted to lose more area proportionally to widespread species. Based on our results, two distributional trends can be established: the predicted gain of species in alpine regions, and future loss of species from lowland areas. Considering that the loss of pollinators from present lowland agricultural areas is predicted and that habitat degradation presents a threat to possible range expansion of hoverflies in the future, developing conservation management strategy for the preservation of these species is crucial.

The high surface to<br/>volume ratio of nanomaterials imparts a high reactivity,<br/>which is of interest for novel applications but may raise<br/>concern for the environment.

To assess the capability that exists to<br/>do such modelling, progress in modelling ENM fate since<br/>2011 is reviewed. ENM-specific processes represented in<br/>models are mainly limited to aggregation and, in some<br/>instances, dissolution. Transformation processes (e.g.<br/>sulphidation), the role of the manufactured coatings,<br/>particle size distribution and particle form and state are still<br/>usually excluded.

The experimental approach combined the placement of labelled litter (delta13C=-37.9 per thousand ) with forest girdling in a 35-year-old Norway spruce stand, resulting in four different treatment combinations: GL (girdled, litter), GNL (girdled, no litter), NGL (not girdled, litter), and NGNL (not girdled, no litter). Monthly sampling of soil CO2 efflux and delta13C of soil respired CO2 between May and October 2002 allowed the partitioning of the flux into that derived from the labelled litter, and that derived from native soil organic matter and roots. The effect of forest girdling on soil CO2 efflux was detectable from June (girdling took place in April), and resulted in GNL fluxes to be about 50% of NGNL fluxes by late August. The presence of litter resulted in significantly increased fluxes for the first 2 months of the experiment, with significantly greater litter derived fluxes from non-girdled plots and a significant interaction between girdling and litter treatments over the same period. For NGL collars, the additional efflux was found to originate only in part from litter decomposition, but also from the decay of native soil organic matter. In GL collars, this priming effect was not significant, indicating an active role of the rhizosphere in soil priming. The results therefore indicate mutual positive feedbacks between litter decomposition and rhizosphere activity. Soil biological analysis (microbial and fungal biomass) of the organic layers indicated greatest activity below NGL collars, and we suppose that this increase indicates the mechanism of mutual positive feedback between rhizosphere activity and litter decomposition. However, elimination of fresh C input from both above- and belowground (GNL) also resulted in greater fungal abundance than for the NGNL treatment, indicating likely changes in fungal community structure (i.e. a shift from symbiotic to saprotrophic species abundance).", "keywords": ["570", "Soil ecology", "Microbial biomass", "Models", " Biological", "630", "Soil", "Biomass", "Picea", "Forest girdling; Microbial biomass; Soil CO; 2; efflux; Soil organic matter; Stable C isotopes;", "Ecosystem", "Soil Microbiology", "Soil CO2 efflux", "Feedback", " Physiological", "Soil organic matter", "Carbon Isotopes", "Fungi", "04 agricultural and veterinary sciences", "Carbon Dioxide", "15.
