In this study, we investigated their global distribution in cryoconite holes \uffe2\uff80\uff93 a type of freshwater reservoir forming directly in the glacial ice that creates biodiversity hotspots on glaciers. We analysed cryoconite samples (using classical microscopic observations and environmental DNA metabarcoding) from 42 glaciers located around the world (the Arctic, Subarctic, Scandinavia, the Alps, the Caucasus, Siberia, Central Asia, Africa, South America and Antarctica), as well as using literature data. Samples from Antarctic, Karakoram and the Alps were analysed using next\uffe2\uff80\uff90generation sequencing (NGS) and classical observations under microscopes, while all other samples were analysed by microscope alone. Three general outcomes were found: (1) tardigrades and rotifers represented the most common invertebrates in cryoconite holes; (2) tardigrades and rotifers often coexisted together, with one or the other dominating, but the dominant taxon varied by region or by glacier; (3) nematodes \uffe2\uff80\uff93 the most abundant, hyperdiverse and widespread metazoans on Earth, including in environments surrounding and seeding glacial surfaces \uffe2\uff80\uff93 were consistently absent from cryoconite holes. Despite the general similarity of environmental conditions in cryoconite holes, the distribution of tardigrades and rotifers differed among glaciers, but not in any predictable way, suggesting that their distribution mostly depended on the random dispersal, extreme changes of supraglacial zone or competition. Although nematodes have been found in supraglacial habitats, cryoconite hole environments seem not to provide the necessary conditions for their growth and reproduction. Lack of physiological adaptations to permanently low temperatures (~0\uffc2\uffb0C) and competition for different food resources in the cryoconite hole environment may explain the absence of nematodes in cryoconite holes.</p>", "keywords": ["0301 basic medicine", "0303 health sciences", "03 medical and health sciences", "550", "13.

Bacterial richness and other diversity indices were consistently lower in the abrupt treatment compared to the ambient treatment that received no copper. The abrupt addition of copper yielded different initial bacterial communities than the gradual addition; however, these communities appeared to converge once copper concentrations were approximately equal.

This research studied the effects of the natural recovery of abandoned lands on carbon pools using a chronosequence approach of mixed ash ( Fraxinus excelsior L.) and sycamore ( Acer pseudoplatanus L.) stands in the Eastern Italian Prealps.

Furthermore, low P limited plant aboveground, belowground, and total biomass responses to eCO2, by 14.7%, 14.3%, and 12.4%, respectively, equivalent to an approximate halving of the eCO2 responses observed under high P availability. In comparison, low P availability did not significantly alter the eCO2\uffe2\uff80\uff90induced changes in plant tissue nutrient concentration, suggesting tissue nutrient flexibility is an important mechanism allowing biomass response to eCO2 under low P availability. Low P significantly reduced the eCO2\uffe2\uff80\uff90induced increase in leaf area by 14.3%, mirroring the aboveground biomass response, but low P did not affect the eCO2\uffe2\uff80\uff90induced increase in root length. Woody plants exhibited stronger attenuation effect of low P on aboveground biomass response to eCO2 than non\uffe2\uff80\uff90woody plants, while plants with different mycorrhizal associations showed similar responses to low P and eCO2 interaction. This meta\uffe2\uff80\uff90analysis highlights crucial data gaps in capturing plant responses to eCO2 and low P availability. Field\uffe2\uff80\uff90based experiments with longer\uffe2\uff80\uff90term exposure of both CO2 and P manipulations are critically needed to provide ecosystem\uffe2\uff80\uff90scale understanding. Taken together, our results provide a quantitative baseline to constrain model\uffe2\uff80\uff90based hypotheses of plant responses to eCO2 under P limitation, thereby improving projections of future global change impacts.</p>", "keywords": ["0106 biological sciences", "910", "01 natural sciences", "XXXXXX - Unknown", "soil phosphorus", "Humans", "phosphorus", "Photosynthesis", "mycorrhizae", "soils", "Ecosystem", "0105 earth and related environmental sciences", "580", "nutrient concentration", "2.

To validate the devised simulation, a laboratory-scale physical model is tested in order to examine the attenuation properties of this well-known artificial landform. The experiment involves formation of a terraced slope, in a laboratory setup, via use of an unconsolidated granular medium made of silica microbeads. This granular medium exhibits a gravity-induced power-law stiffness profile, resulting in a depth-dependent velocity profile. A piezoelectric actuator was used to excite vertically polarized surface acoustic modes localized near the surface of the medium. The three components of the particle velocity field of these modes were measured by means of a 3-D laser Doppler vibrometer. In accordance with the terraced slope, a simple inclined plane was further tested to investigate and highlight the differences in terms of wave propagation along these two different ground formations. The results of this research provide significant experimental evidence that the terraced slopes form mechanisms which attenuate low-frequency surface waves, thus acting as metasurfaces. This work suggests the use of laboratory-scale physical models to investigate the wave propagation in different landforms, which extend beyond typical horizontal ground morphologies, and which could be linked to atypical wave propagation properties, possibly even influencing propagation of seismic waves.</p", "keywords": ["Seismic attenuation", "Wave propagation", "Acoustic properties", "Acoustic properties; Guided waves; Seismic attenuation; Site effects; Surface waves and free oscillations; Wave propagation", "Site effects", "Guided waves", "Surface waves and free oscillations", "01 natural sciences", "0105 earth and related environmental sciences"]}, "links": [{"href": "https://academic.oup.com/gji/article-pdf/238/1/43/57449708/ggae150.pdf"}, {"href": "https://doi.org/10.1093/gji/ggae150"}, {"rel": "related", "href": "https://repository.soilwise-he.eu/cat/collections/metadata:main/items/Geophysical%20Journal%20International", "name": "related record", "description": "related record", "type": "application/json"}, {"rel": "self", "type": "application/geo+json", "title": "10.1093/gji/ggae150", "name": "item", "description": "10.1093/gji/ggae150", "href": "https://repository.soilwise-he.eu/cat/collections/metadata:main/items/10.1093/gji/ggae150"}, {"rel": "collection", "type": "application/json", "title": "Collection", "name": "collection", "description": "Collection", "href": "https://repository.soilwise-he.eu/cat/collections/metadata:main"}], "time": {"date": "2024-04-22T00:00:00Z"}}, {"id": "10.1093/ijlct/ctx021", "type": "Feature", "geometry": null, "properties": {"updated": "2026-04-04T16:18:39Z", "type": "Journal Article", "created": "2017-12-12", "title": "Microstructure and filtration performance of konjac glucomannan-based aerogels strengthened by wheat straw", "description": "Abstract                <p>This study presents the preparation and measurement of a novel environmentally friendly konjac glucomannan (KGM)-based composite aerogels enhanced with wheat straw (WS) via a sol\uffe2\uff80\uff93gel and freeze-drying progress.

The shifts in soil properties caused by land use change leads to modifications in microbiome function, resulting in either loss or gain of soil organic carbon (SOC). Soil pH is the primary factor regulating microbiome characteristics leading to distinct pathways of microbial carbon cycling, but the underlying mechanisms remain understudied. Here, the taxa-trait relationships behind the variable fate of SOC were investigated using metaproteomics, metabarcoding, and a 13C-labeled litter decomposition experiment across two temperate sites with differing soil pH each with a paired land use intensity contrast. 13C incorporation into microbial biomass increased with land use intensification in low-pH soil but decreased in high-pH soil, with potential impact on carbon use efficiency in opposing directions. Reduction in biosynthesis traits was due to increased abundance of proteins linked to resource acquisition and stress tolerance. These trait trade-offs were underpinned by land use intensification-induced changes in dominant taxa with distinct traits. We observed divergent pH-controlled pathways of SOC cycling. In low-pH soil, land use intensification alleviates microbial abiotic stress resulting in increased biomass production but promotes decomposition and SOC loss. In contrast, in high-pH soil, land use intensification increases microbial physiological constraints and decreases biomass production, leading to reduced necromass build-up and SOC stabilization. We demonstrate how microbial biomass production and respiration dynamics and therefore carbon use efficiency can be decoupled from SOC highlighting the need for its careful consideration in managing SOC storage for soil health and climate change mitigation.</p", "keywords": ["soil health", "Supplementary Data", "QH301 Biology", "carbon use efficiency", "carbon cycling", "https://oup.silverchair-cdn.com/oup/backfile/Content_public/Journal/ismecommun/4/1/10.1093_ismeco_ycae116/1/otu_table_16s_table_s1_ycae116.xlsx?Expires=1737538557&Signature=3IutEpMaJIknJFjSbheOQYWpAwXt2atlN4YtPR7BTaTGf3jrf1M6yHgYzlnrttKlwpbFcwz-IqYq96oubC5FxfBQQyiIC0H-az-D~Bkstxc9XHkEmERELO~nurTlszmUndzm3jLsKF05x00PNsiNFlGKUhlsMB6wRmyO3v3GNBqHQVdswXZ3UAjfXvqqinyDLK54UCxfLk8eKpcfFnvVctxQ8Hrk3gP-eMFToKDlXgPD4MXGrdegvcZblx6g8FAvJruLIG1NWIRJ6wzx6HcmAYiZDJcGosKrdjMBIznM8YIJjBrfWwhGvjh15Z7MJnsUWn8PjxLjXfww29q-YfQnw__&Key-Pair-Id=APKAIE5G5CRDK6RD3PGA", "https://oup.silverchair-cdn.com/oup/backfile/Content_public/Journal/ismecommun/4/1/10.1093_ismeco_ycae116/1/otu_table_18s_table_s2_ycae116.xlsx?Expires=1737538557&Signature=ZVWC9BaJ2MOsxOOfzrmd-9nuLAy5yHOmeqJQmKHhQ1z7mXxXITIYAvM8BpVkEkQHB7Bo-6dNEm5FlC6eAuTroyq-dvMW3PD6MNP9SN5KgwSrKUeHM6IKNhzav6Q4zd48B95IPreN5UKQTTVPrphpdOxfdVKYKxD3qOMdWqmHXt-IAD~W80PJ0BjvpHXPQ0pYCmGInVv1Fe-L3k~OKo80rD0xtncnBCFRd8DVHTIY5JLjJr4-E~M3Gainkbz2AVLZwys3S6MMEboS8vKSj~rG34Z04ByT6dBjp0XDj2H9K7WjXlEqOoPIwUWUUfcVvn4N5wZ6R6YFZr9mk4qTZKdEow__&Key-Pair-Id=APKAIE5G5CRDK6RD3PGA", "004", "soil organic carbon", "QH301", "soil pH", "13C labelling", "land use intensity", "soil microbiome", "metabarcoding", "SDG 13 - Climate Action", "metaproteomics", "Original Article", "SDG 15 - Life on Land"]}, "links": [{"href": "https://doi.org/10.1093/ismeco/ycae116"}, {"rel": "related", "href": "https://repository.soilwise-he.eu/cat/collections/metadata:main/items/ISME%20Communications", "name": "related record", "description": "related record", "type": "application/json"}, {"rel": "self", "type": "application/geo+json", "title": "10.1093/ismeco/ycae116", "name": "item", "description": "10.1093/ismeco/ycae116", "href": "https://repository.soilwise-he.eu/cat/collections/metadata:main/items/10.1093/ismeco/ycae116"}, {"rel": "collection", "type": "application/json", "title": "Collection", "name": "collection", "description": "Collection", "href": "https://repository.soilwise-he.eu/cat/collections/metadata:main"}], "time": {"date": "2024-01-01T00:00:00Z"}}, {"id": "10.1093/ismejo/wrae025", "type": "Feature", "geometry": null, "properties": {"updated": "2026-04-04T16:18:39Z", "type": "Journal Article", "created": "2024-02-12", "title": "Stronger compensatory thermal adaptation of soil microbial respiration with higher substrate availability", "description": "Abstract                <p>Ongoing global warming is expected to augment soil respiration by increasing the microbial activity, driving self-reinforcing feedback to climate change.

To test this hypothesis, we collected soils along a large-scale forest transect in eastern China spanning a natural temperature gradient, and we incubated the soils at different temperatures with or without substrate addition. We combined the exponential thermal response function and a data-driven model to study the interaction effect of thermal adaptation and substrate availability on microbial respiration and compared our results to those from two additional continental and global independent datasets.

In this study, microorganisms responsible for ammonia oxidation and several environmental factors (season, temperature, ammonia concentration, and moisture content) known to affect nitrification were studied in an alkaline forest soil with a pH ranging from 8.36 to 8.77. Ammonia-oxidizing bacteria (AOB), ammonia-oxidizing archaea, and comammox were present, and AOB belonging to genera Nitrosospira and Nitrosomonas, originally comprising &amp;lt;0.01% of the total bacterial community, responded rapidly to ammonia addition to the soil. No significant difference was observed in nitrification rates between seasons, but there was a significant difference between in situ field nitrification rates and rates in laboratory microcosms. Surprisingly, nitrification took place under many of the tested conditions, but there was no detectable increase in the abundance of any recognizable group of ammonia oxidizers. This study raises questions about the role of low-abundance microorganisms in microbial processes and of situations where zero or very low microbial growth coincides with metabolic activity.

Here, a well-established four-species biofilm model (Stenotrophomonas rhizophila, Paenibacillus amylolyticus, Microbacterium oxydans, and Xanthomonas retroflexus, termed as SPMX) was applied to Arabidopsis roots to study the impact of multispecies biofilm on plant growth and the community spatial dynamics on the roots. SPMX co-culture notably promoted root development and plant biomass. Co-cultured SPMX increased root colonization and formed multispecies biofilms, structurally different from those formed by monocultures. By combining 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing and fluorescence in situ hybridization with confocal laser scanning microscopy, we found that the composition and spatial organization of the four-species biofilm significantly changed over time. Monoculture P. amylolyticus colonized plant roots poorly, but its population and root colonization were highly enhanced when residing in the four-species biofilm. Exclusion of P. amylolyticus from the community reduced overall biofilm production and root colonization of the three species, resulting in the loss of the plant growth-promoting effects. Combined with spatial analysis, this led to identification of P. amylolyticus as a keystone species.

Animals were offered a total mixed ration (77% concentrate and 23% forage; 12.6 MJ ME/kg of DM and 12% CP) ad libitum with emissions estimated for 21 d over a mean feed intake measurement period of 91 d. Animals had a mean daily methane emissions (DME) of 229.18 g/d (SD = 45.96), methane yield (MY) of 22.07 g/kg of DMI (SD = 4.06), methane intensity (MI) 0.70 g/kg of carcass weight (SD = 0.15), and RME 0.00 g/d (SD = 0.34).

Land use type significantly affected total, bacterial and fungal PLFAs, and the gram-positive/negative bacterial PLFAs. Compared with shrubland, peanut farmland had higher total and bacterial PLFAs and forest had higher fungal PLFAs. Soil pH and phosphorus were the predominate drivers of microbial PLFAs, explaining 37% and 26% of the variability, respectively. Soil total nitrogen and nitrate nitrogen were the main factors increasing microbial community diversity.

This study was conducted to examine the effects of mowing and nitrogen (N) addition on soil respiration and their dependences upon vegetation types in an oldfield grassland of northern China. Methods Soil respiration, temperature, moisture and aboveground net primary productivity (ANPP) and belowground net primary productivity (BNPP) were examined in response to mowing and N addition among the three patches dominated by different species (named as grass, forb and mixed patches, respectively) in the growing seasons (May\u2013October) from 2006 to 2008. Important Findings Across the 3 years, soil respiration in the grass patch was greater than those in the forb and mixed patches, which could have been ascribed to the higher soil moisture (SM) in the grass patch. Mowing had no impact on soil respiration due to unaltered SM and plant growth. Soil respiration was stimulated by 6.53% under N addition, and the enhancement was statistically significant in 2006 but not in 2007 or 2008 because of the limited water availability in the later 2 years. There were no interactive effects between mowing and N addition on soil respiration. Soil respiration showed positive dependence upon SM, ANPP and BNPP across plots. The results suggest that soil water availability and plant growth could be the primary factors in controlling the temporal and spatial variations in soil respiration and its response to different treatments.

The ratios of MBC to SOC (MBC/SOC) and MBN to TN (MBN/TN) were also significantly lower in the LOP than in the NSF. Moreover, the values of MBC, MBC/SOC, and MBN/TN significantly varied with time and followed a similar pattern during the growing season, all with an apparent peak in summer.

Methods We conducted field manipulations of precipitation, including ambient precipitation as a control (CK), double precipitation (DP) and no precip- itation (NP), for 3 years in three forests with different stand ages (broad- leaf forest (BF), mixed forest (MF) and pine forest (PF)) in subtropical China. At the end of the experiment, soil samples were collected to assay SOC content, readily oxidizable organic carbon (ROC) and non-readily oxidizable organic carbon (NROC), as well as soil microbial biomass carbon (MBC), pH and total nitrogen content. Samples from the forest floors were also collected to analyze carbon (C) functional groups (i.e. alkyl C, aromatic C, O-alkyl C and carbonyl C). Furthermore, fine root biomass was measured periodically throughout the experiment. Important Findings Among the forests, ROC content did not exhibit any notable differ- ences, while NROC content increased significantly with the stand age. This finding implied that the SOC accumulation observed in these forests resulted from the accumulation of NROC in the soil, a mechanism for SOC accumulation in the mature forests of south- ern China. Moreover, NP treatment led to significant reductions in both ROC and NROC content and therefore reduced the total SOC content in all of the studied forests. Such decreases may be due to the lower plant-derived C inputs (C quantity) and to the changes in SOC components (C quality) indicated by C functional groups analyses under NP treatment. DP treatment in all the forests also tended to decrease the SOC content, although the decreases were not statistically significant with the exception of SOC and ROC con- tent in PF. This finding indicated that soils in MF and in BF may be more resistant to precipitation increases, possibly due to less water limitations under natural conditions in the two forests. Our results therefore highlight the different responses of SOC and its fractions to precipitation changes among the forests and suggest that further studies are needed to improve our understanding of SOC dynamics in such an important C sink region.", "keywords": ["13.

Two cultivars (one with early and one with late maturity) responded more strongly to elevated [CO(2)] than those with intermediate maturity, resulting mainly from increases in spikelet density. Biomass and N uptake at the heading stage were closely correlated with grain yield and spikelet density over [CO(2)] and cultivars.

Recent research has shown that the root microbiome changes along root axes and among root classes, that root tips have a unique microbiome, and that root exudates change within the root system depending on soil physicochemical conditions. Although fresh exudates are produced in larger amounts in root tips, the rhizosphere of mature root segments also plays a role in influencing soil vertical gradients.

In this study, nodulated alfalfa plants were exposed to drought conditions. The study determined the physiological, metabolic, and proteomic processes involved in photosynthetic inhibition in relation to the decrease in nitrogenase (N(ase)) activity. The deleterious effect of drought on alfalfa performance was targeted towards photosynthesis and N(ase) activity. At the leaf level, photosynthetic inhibition was mainly caused by the inhibition of Rubisco. The proteomic profile and physiological measurements revealed that the reduced carboxylation capacity of droughted plants was related to limitations in Rubisco protein content, activation state, and RuBP regeneration. Drought also decreased amino acid content such as asparagine, and glutamic acid, and Rubisco protein content indicating that N availability limitations were caused by N(ase) activity inhibition. In this context, drought induced the decrease in Rubisco binding protein content at the leaf level and proteases were up-regulated so as to degrade Rubisco protein. This degradation enabled the reallocation of the Rubisco-derived N to the synthesis of amino acids with osmoregulant capacity. Rubisco degradation under drought conditions was induced so as to remobilize Rubisco-derived N to compensate for the decrease in N associated with N(ase) inhibition. Metabolic analyses showed that droughted plants increased amino acid (proline, a major compound involved in osmotic regulation) and soluble sugar (D-pinitol) levels to contribute towards the decrease in osmotic potential (\u03a8(s)). At the nodule level, drought had an inhibitory effect on N(ase) activity. This decrease in N(ase) activity was not induced by substrate shortage, as reflected by an increase in total soluble sugars (TSS) in the nodules. Proline accumulation in the nodule could also be associated with an osmoregulatory response to drought and might function as a protective agent against ROS. In droughted nodules, the decrease in N(2) fixation was caused by an increase in oxygen resistance that was induced in the nodule. This was a mechanism to avoid oxidative damage associated with reduced respiration activity and the consequent increase in oxygen content. This study highlighted that even though drought had a direct effect on leaves, the deleterious effects of drought on nodules also conditioned leaf responsiveness.", "keywords": ["Proteomics", "0301 basic medicine", "570", "Rubisco", "Proteome", "[SDV]Life Sciences [q-bio]", "proteome", "N-2 FIXATION RESPONSE", "drought", "N2 fixation", "03 medical and health sciences", "XANTHOPHYLL CYCLE", "N-2 fixation", "2-CYSTEINE PEROXIREDOXIN", "Nitrogenase", "oxidative stress", "AMINO-ACIDS", "Photosynthesis", "climate", "agriculture", "Plant Proteins", "580", "N remobilization", "2.

In order to investigate the response directions and potential interactive effects, and to understand the underlying mechanisms, multifactor experiments are needed. The focus of this study was on the photosynthetic response to elevated CO(2) [CO2; free air CO(2) enrichment (FACE)], drought (D; water-excluding curtains), and night-time warming (T; infrared-reflective curtains) in a temperate heath. A/C(i) curves were measured, allowing analysis of light-saturated net photosynthesis (P(n)), light- and CO(2)-saturated net photosynthesis (P(max)), stomatal conductance (g(s)), the maximal rate of Rubisco carboxylation (V(cmax)), and the maximal rate of ribulose bisphosphate (RuBP) regeneration (J(max)) along with leaf \u03b4(13)C, and carbon and nitrogen concentration on a monthly basis in the grass Deschampsia flexuosa. Seasonal drought reduced P(n) via g(s), but severe (experimental) drought decreased P(n) via a reduction in photosynthetic capacity (P(max), J(max), and V(cmax)). The effects were completely reversed by rewetting and stimulated P(n) via photosynthetic capacity stimulation. Warming increased early and late season P(n) via higher P(max) and J(max). Elevated CO(2) did not decrease g(s), but stimulated P(n) via increased C(i). The T\u00d7CO2 synergistically increased plant carbon uptake via photosynthetic capacity up-regulation in early season and by better access to water after rewetting. The effects of the combination of drought and elevated CO(2) depended on soil water availability, with additive effects when the soil water content was low and D\u00d7CO2 synergistic stimulation of P(n) after rewetting. The photosynthetic responses appeared to be highly influenced by growth pattern. The grass has opportunistic water consumption, and a biphasic growth pattern allowing for leaf dieback at low soil water availability followed by rapid re-growth of active leaves when rewetted and possibly a large resource allocation capability mediated by the rhizome. This growth characteristic allowed for the photosynthetic capacity up-regulations that mediated the T\u00d7CO2 and D\u00d7CO2 synergistic effects on photosynthesis. These are clearly advantageous characteristics when exposed to climate changes.

Their perception for hormonal functions requires an \u03b1,\u03b2-hydrolase belonging to the D14 clade in higher plants; perception of host-produced SLs by parasitic seeds relies on similar but phylogenetically distinct proteins (D14-like). D14 and D14-like proteins are peculiar receptors, because they cleave SLs before undergoing a conformational change that elicits downstream events. Structure-activity relationship data show that the butenolide D-ring is crucial for bioactivity. We applied a bioisosteric approach to the structure of SLs by synthetizing analogues and mimics of natural SLs in which the D-ring was changed from a butenolide to a lactam and then evaluating their bioactivity. This was done by using a novel bioassay based on Arabidopsis transgenic lines expressing AtD14 fused to firefly luciferase, in parallel with the quantification of germination-inducing activity on parasitic seeds. The results obtained showed that the in planta bioassay is robust and quantitative, and thus can be confidently added to the SL-survey toolbox. The results also showed that modification of the butenolide ring into a lactam one significantly hampers the biological activity exhibited by SLs possessing a canonical lactonic D-ring.", "keywords": ["0301 basic medicine", "Lactones", "Structure-Activity Relationship", "0303 health sciences", "03 medical and health sciences", "Plant Growth Regulators", "Orobanche", "bioisosterism", " bioassay", " chemical space", " docking", " luciferase", " perception", " plant hormones", " strigolactones", " strigolactone-D-lactams", "Biological Assay", "Research Papers"]}, "links": [{"href": "https://iris.unito.it/bitstream/2318/1661581/8/JXB2018Sanchez.pdf"}, {"href": "http://academic.oup.com/jxb/article-pdf/69/9/2333/25089692/ery092.pdf"}, {"href": "https://doi.org/10.1093/jxb/ery092"}, {"rel": "related", "href": "https://repository.soilwise-he.eu/cat/collections/metadata:main/items/Journal%20of%20Experimental%20Botany", "name": "related record", "description": "related record", "type": "application/json"}, {"rel": "self", "type": "application/geo+json", "title": "10.1093/jxb/ery092", "name": "item", "description": "10.1093/jxb/ery092", "href": "https://repository.soilwise-he.eu/cat/collections/metadata:main/items/10.1093/jxb/ery092"}, {"rel": "collection", "type": "application/json", "title": "Collection", "name": "collection", "description": "Collection", "href": "https://repository.soilwise-he.eu/cat/collections/metadata:main"}], "time": {"date": "2018-03-15T00:00:00Z"}}, {"id": "10.1093/mnras/staa3201", "type": "Feature", "geometry": null, "properties": {"updated": "2026-04-04T16:18:40Z", "type": "Journal Article", "created": "2020-10-16", "title": "Quantifying the structure of strong gravitational lens potentials with uncertainty-aware deep neural networks", "description": "ABSTRACT<p>Gravitational lensing is a powerful tool for constraining substructure in the mass distribution of galaxies, be it from the presence of dark matter sub-haloes or due to physical mechanisms affecting the baryons throughout galaxy evolution. Such substructure is hard to model and is either ignored by traditional, smooth modelling, approaches, or treated as well-localized massive perturbers. In this work, we propose a deep learning approach to quantify the statistical properties of such perturbations directly from images, where only the extended lensed source features within a mask are considered, without the need of any lens modelling. Our training data consist of mock lensed images assuming perturbing Gaussian Random Fields permeating the smooth overall lens potential, and, for the first time, using images of real galaxies as the lensed source. We employ a novel deep neural network that can handle arbitrary uncertainty intervals associated with the training data set labels as input, provides probability distributions as output, and adopts a composite loss function. The method succeeds not only in accurately estimating the actual parameter values, but also reduces the predicted confidence intervals by 10\uffc2\uffa0per\uffe2\uff80\uff89cent in an unsupervised manner, i.e. without having access to the actual ground truth values. Our results are invariant to the inherent degeneracy between mass perturbations in the lens and complex brightness profiles for the source. Hence, we can quantitatively and robustly quantify the smoothness of the mass density of thousands of lenses, including confidence intervals, and provide a consistent ranking for follow-up science.</p>", "keywords": ["Physics", "Gravitational lens", "Space and Planetary Science", "Astrophysics of Galaxies (astro-ph.GA)", "0103 physical sciences", "Deep neural networks", "FOS: Physical sciences", "Astronomy and Astrophysics", "Statistical physics", "Astrophysics - Astrophysics of Galaxies", "01 natural sciences"]}, "links": [{"href": "http://academic.oup.com/mnras/article-pdf/499/4/5641/34141333/staa3201.pdf"}, {"href": "https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/staa3201"}, {"rel": "related", "href": "https://repository.soilwise-he.eu/cat/collections/metadata:main/items/Monthly%20Notices%20of%20the%20Royal%20Astronomical%20Society", "name": "related record", "description": "related record", "type": "application/json"}, {"rel": "self", "type": "application/geo+json", "title": "10.1093/mnras/staa3201", "name": "item", "description": "10.1093/mnras/staa3201", "href": "https://repository.soilwise-he.eu/cat/collections/metadata:main/items/10.1093/mnras/staa3201"}, {"rel": "collection", "type": "application/json", "title": "Collection", "name": "collection", "description": "Collection", "href": "https://repository.soilwise-he.eu/cat/collections/metadata:main"}], "time": {"date": "2020-10-17T00:00:00Z"}}, {"id": "10.1093/njaf/20.1.39", "type": "Feature", "geometry": null, "properties": {"updated": "2026-04-04T16:18:41Z", "type": "Journal Article", "created": "2019-08-22", "title": "Effect Of Method Of Thinning On Wood Production In A Red Pine Plantation", "description": "Abstract                <p>The total production of main-stem wood volume by a red pine plantation in New Hampshire did not differ during a 12 yr period between (a) low, (b) crown, and (c) selection thinning when the same amount of basal area was reserved in two successive thinnings.
