The multiple-centre approach (utilising both Ti and [AlO4/h]0 signals) is usually used to test the resetting of the signals used for ESR dating. Here we work towards a better understanding of, and correction for, the residual signal in ESR samples of sedimentary quartz. We undertook multiple-centre ESR measurements using quartz [AlO4/h]0 and Ti signals on young aeolian samples of different grain sizes which have been independently dated using optically stimulated luminescence (OSL). Our results demonstrate that [AlO4/h]0 signal yields residuals indicating equivalent doses of about 500\u00a0Gy, substantially older than expected for the known OSL equivalent doses in the range of 8\u201337\u00a0Gy. The decay of [AlO4/h]0 signal as function of bleaching time can be represented by an exponential function. We investigate the dependence of the residual magnitude of the ESR signal as a function of the previous given dose and observe an exponential increase in the residual signal with dose. Such observations are consistent with the results of luminescence process modelling conducted for a model comprising two luminescence centres and several traps, one of which is a so-called deep disconnected trap that cannot be emptied during optical stimulation. We propose that bleaching occurs through an electron-hole recombination process with electrons released from optically sensitive traps. In addition to our new insights into the bleaching mechanisms of the [AlO4/h]0 ESR signal, we discuss the implications for the procedures used for performing residual dose corrections in ESR dating. We recommend that modern analogues be used in addition to laboratory-bleached samples when performing residual dose corrections.", "keywords": ["ESR dating", "Sedimentary quartz", "03 medical and health sciences", "0302 clinical medicine", "Residual", "Sedimentary quartz ESR dating[AlO4/h]0 Residual Bleaching Modelling", "[AlO4/h]0", "Bleaching", "01 natural sciences", "Modelling", "0105 earth and related environmental sciences"]}, "links": [{"href": "https://doi.org/10.1016/j.radmeas.2019.106221"}, {"rel": "related", "href": "https://repository.soilwise-he.eu/cat/collections/metadata:main/items/Radiation%20Measurements", "name": "related record", "description": "related record", "type": "application/json"}, {"rel": "self", "type": "application/geo+json", "title": "10.1016/j.radmeas.2019.106221", "name": "item", "description": "10.1016/j.radmeas.2019.106221", "href": "https://repository.soilwise-he.eu/cat/collections/metadata:main/items/10.1016/j.radmeas.2019.106221"}, {"rel": "collection", "type": "application/json", "title": "Collection", "name": "collection", "description": "Collection", "href": "https://repository.soilwise-he.eu/cat/collections/metadata:main"}], "time": {"date": "2020-01-01T00:00:00Z"}}, {"id": "10.2139/ssrn.5084742", "type": "Feature", "geometry": null, "properties": {"updated": "2026-08-24T16:18:50Z", "type": "Journal Article", "created": "2025-05-25", "title": "ZnO-nanostructured electrochemical sensor for efficient detection of glyphosate in water", "description": "Glyphosate is a widely used broad-spectrum herbicide for controlling grassy weeds, despite having potential health hazards.

When tested in river water, the sensor achieved a detection limit of 0.96 \u00b5M using differential pulse voltammetry.

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. Roots, mycorrhizal fungi and free-living soil microbes can alter soil carbon decomposition through exudation of carbon into soil. Exudates of simple carbon compounds can increase microbial activity because microbes are typically carbon limited. 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. We added 13C-labelled substrate to trace metabolized carbon in respiration and measured carbon-degrading microbial extracellular enzyme activity and soil carbon pools. We used our data in a mechanistic soil carbon decomposition model to simulate and compare the effects of root and mycorrhizal fungal presence on soil carbon dynamics over longer time periods. Contrary to what we predicted, root and mycorrhizal biomass did not interact to additively increase microbial activity and soil carbon degradation. The metabolism of 13C-labelled starch was highest when root biomass was high and mycorrhizal biomass was low. These results suggest that mycorrhizas may negatively interact with the free-living microbial community to influence soil carbon dynamics, a hypothesis supported by our enzyme results. Our steady-state model simulations suggested that root presence increased mineral-associated and particulate organic carbon pools, while mycorrhizal fungal presence had a greater influence on particulate than mineral-associated organic carbon pools.

Using our experimental data in a decomposition simulation model, we show that root\u2013mycorrhizal\u2013microbial interactions may have longer-term legacy effects on soil carbon sequestration.

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": "2026-08-24T16:20:36Z", "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.

Manuscript ID: 111207. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.biocon.2025.111207 \ud83d\udcd8 Abstract Estimating the abundance of wildlife populations at a landscape-scale is vital for conservation, but is often hampered by survey costs, data processing and imperfect detection. 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.

<p>Studies on soil organic carbon (SOC) stocks mostly focus on topsoils (< 30 cm). However, 30 to 63% of the SOC are stored in the subsoils (30 to 100 cm), and the factors controlling SOC storage in subsoils may be substantially different than in topsoils. 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. The main objective of the ongoing study, within the Horizon 2020 European Project Circular Agronomics, is to apply laboratory hyperspectral imaging with a variety of machine learning approaches for the mapping of OC distribution in undisturbed soil cores. 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.</p>

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.

The land surface controls the partitioning of water and energy fluxes and therefore plays a crucial role in the climate system. The coupling between soil moisture and air temperature, in particular, has been shown to affect the severity and occurrence of temperature extremes and heat waves. Here we study soil moisture\uffe2\uff80\uff90temperature coupling in five land surface models, focusing on the terrestrial segment of the coupling in the warm season. All models are run off\uffe2\uff80\uff90line over a common period with identical atmospheric forcing data, in order to allow differences in the results to be attributed to the models' partitioning of energy and water fluxes. Coupling is calculated according to two semiempirical metrics, and results are compared to observational flux tower data. Results show that the locations of the global hot spots of soil moisture\uffe2\uff80\uff90temperature coupling are similar across all models and for both metrics. In agreement with previous studies, these areas are located in transitional climate regimes. The magnitude and local patterns of model coupling, however, can vary considerably. Model coupling fields are compared to tower data, bearing in mind the limitations in the geographical distribution of flux towers and the differences in representative area of models and in situ data. Nevertheless, model coupling correlates in space with the tower\uffe2\uff80\uff90based results (r = 0.5\uffe2\uff80\uff930.7), with the multimodel mean performing similarly to the best\uffe2\uff80\uff90performing model. Intermodel differences are also found in the evaporative fractions and may relate to errors in model parameterizations and ancillary data of soil and vegetation characteristics.

Results From A 16 Year Field Experiment", "description": "Alternative cropping systems such as conservation agriculture and organic farming are expected to decrease negative impacts of conventional systems through sequestration of organic carbon in soil and mitigation of greenhouse gas emissions. We studied soil organic carbon (SOC) dynamics in the long-term (16 years) field experiment \u201cLa Cage\u201d (France) which compares four arable cropping systems, free from manure application, under conventional (CON), low input (LI), conservation agriculture (CA) and organic (ORG) management. Bulk densities and SOC concentrations were measured at different dates between 1998 and 2014. SOC stocks were calculated at equivalent soil mass taking into account bulk density variations and SOC redistribution across the different soil layers. We analyzed the evolution of SOC stocks and compared it with outputs of the simulation model AMG. The rate of change in SOC stocks in the old ploughed layer (ca. 0\u201330 cm) during the 16 years was 0.08, 0.02, 0.63 and 0.28 t ha\u22121 yr\u22121 in the CON, LI, CA and ORG systems respectively and significantly differed from 0 in the CA and ORG treatments. The AMG model satisfactorily reproduced the observed evolution of SOC stocks in the old ploughed layer in all treatments. A Bayesian optimization procedure was used to assess the mean and the distribution of the most uncertain parameters: the SOC mineralization rate and the C inputs derived from belowground biomass of cover crops which were fescue (Festuca rubra) and alfalfa (Medicago sativa). The model thus parameterized was able to predict SOC evolution in each block and soil layer (0\u201310, 10\u201320 and 20\u201330 cm). There was no significant difference in SOC mineralization rates between all cropping systems including CA under no-till. In particular, the increased SOC storage in CA was explained by higher carbon inputs compared to the other cropping systems (+1.72 t C ha\u22121 yr\u22121 on average). The CA and ORG systems were less productive than the CON and LI systems but the smaller C inputs derived from cash crop residues were compensated by the extra inputs from additional crops (fescue and alfalfa) specifically grown in CA and ORG, resulting in a positive carbon storage in soil. We conclude that alternative arable systems have potential to sequester organic carbon in temperate climate conditions, through higher carbon input rather than by the effect of reduced soil tillage.", "keywords": ["2.

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. Conversely, there was no significant effect of nitrate ions on chlorophyll a fluorescence, implying differential sensitivity to dry deposition versus wet deposition and to ammonium versus nitrate in wet deposition. Evernia prunastri was most sensitive to NH3, then NH4+, with lowest sensitivity to NO3-. Moreover, these results confirm that lichen \u03b415N can be used to indicate the \u03b415N of atmospheric ammonia, providing a suitable tool for the interpretation of the spatial distribution of NH3 sources in relation to their \u03b415N signal.", "keywords": ["Air Pollutants", "Nitrates", "Lichens", "Nitrogen Isotopes", "Chlorophyll A", "0211 other engineering and technologies", "02 engineering and technology", "Models", " Theoretical", "chlorophyll a fluorescence", "01 natural sciences", "nitrogen deposition", "Xanthoria parietina", "Species Specificity", "Ammonia", "13.

The model draws upon biophysical crop input-output coefficients simulated with the Environmental Policy Integrated Climate (EPIC) model as well as market input and output prices, spatial transportation costs, ethanol yields from biomass, and biorefinery capital and operational costs. The model was applied to 82 cropping systems simulated across 37 subwatersheds in a 9-county region of southern Michigan in response to ethanol prices simulated to rise from $1.78 to $3.36 per gallon. Results show that the decentralized local biomass processing depots lead to lower profitability but better environmental performance, due to more reliance on perennial grasses than the centralized biorefinery.

The extent and rates of SOC sequestration potential, as well as the controlling factors, under different climate and management practices across a region or country are important for policy-makers and land managers, however have been rarely known. OBJECTIVE: We aim to investigate the extent and rates of SOC sequestration potential over 2021-2040 under different scenarios of climate change and Sustainable Soil Management (SSM) practices, and quantify the impacts of climate change and SSM practices on the SOC sequestration potential, for croplands across Finland at a spatial resolution of 1 km. METHODS: RothC model is run iteratively to equilibrium to calculate the size of the SOC pools and the annual plant carbon inputs. Then, it is applied to investigate the SOC sequestration potential over 2021-2040 under different scenarios of climate change and SSM practices. Finally, facorial simulation experiments are conducted to quantify the impacts of climate change and SSM practices, alone and in combination, on SOC sequestration potential. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Under the combined impacts of climate change and SSM practices, the SOC sequestration potential during 2021-2040 relative to 2020 will be on average -0.03, 0.007, 0.05, and 0.13 t C ha-1 yr-1, respectively, with carbon input being business as usual, 5%, 10%, and 20% increase. This is equivalent to an annual change rate of -0.04%, 0.009%, 0.07%, and 0.17%, respectively. Therefore, a 20% increase in C input to soil will not be enough to obtain a 4\u2030 increase per year over the 20-year period in Finland. Carbon input will promote SOC sequestration potential; however, climate change will reduce it on average by 0.28 t C ha-1yr-1. Across the cropland in Finland, on average, the relative contributions of C input, temperature, and precipitation to SOC sequestration potential in 2021-2040 will be 56%, 24%, and 20%, respectively, however there is a spatially explicit pattern. The SOC sequestration potential will be relatively high and dominated by C input in west and southwest Finland. By contrast, it will be relatively low and dominated by climate in north and east Finland, and the central part of southern Finland. SIGNIFICANCE: Our findings provide the information as to where, how much, and which SSM practices could be applied for enhancing SOC sequestration at a high spatial resolution, which is essential for stakeholders to increase cropland SOC sequestration efficiently.", "keywords": ["2.

The aim of this article is to understand critical success and risk factors of eco-innovative business models that contribute to a circular economy via agricultural unavoidable waste or by-products valorisation. 39 cases were studied focusing on agricultural side stream conversion into valuable products. Semi-structured interviews were performed and secondary data collected. Cases were analysed according to types of initiatives, main objectives, resources and valorisation pathways, as well as external and internal factors that have influenced the businesses over time. Following success and risk factor categories are identified: (1) technical and logistic, (2) economic, financial and marketing, (3) organisational and spatial, (4) institutional and legal, (5) environmental, social and cultural. Herein, specific factors for the agricultural sector are innovative conversion technologies, flexible in and out logistics, joint investments in R&D, price competitiveness for bio-based products, partnerships with research organisations, space availability, subsidies, agricultural waste management regulations, local stakeholder involvement and acceptance of bio-based production processes. Insights from this study can help farmers and agribusiness managers by defining and adapting their strategies within their local contexts. They also show that for shifting from linear agro-food chains to a circular system, individual businesses need to evolve towards more dynamic and integrated business models, in which the macro-environment sets the boundary conditions for successful operations.", "keywords": ["2.

A meta\uffe2\uff80\uff90analysis data\uffe2\uff80\uff90driven approach is developed to represent the soil evaporative efficiency (SEE) defined as the ratio of actual to potential soil evaporation. The new model is tested across a bare soil database composed of more than 30 sites around the world, a clay fraction range of 0.02\uffe2\uff80\uff930.56, a sand fraction range of 0.05\uffe2\uff80\uff930.92, and about 30,000 acquisition times. SEE is modeled using a soil resistance (rss) formulation based on surface soil moisture (\uffce\uffb8) and two resistance parameters and \uffce\uffb8efolding. The data\uffe2\uff80\uff90driven approach aims to express both parameters as a function of observable data including meteorological forcing, cut\uffe2\uff80\uff90off soil moisture value at which SEE=0.5, and first derivative of SEE at , named . An analytical relationship between and is first built by running a soil energy balance model for two extreme conditions with rss\uffe2\uff80\uff89=\uffe2\uff80\uff890 and using meteorological forcing solely, and by approaching the middle point from the two (wet and dry) reference points. Two different methods are then investigated to estimate the pair either from the time series of SEE and \uffce\uffb8 observations for a given site, or using the soil texture information for all sites. The first method is based on an algorithm specifically designed to accomodate for strongly nonlinear relationships and potentially large random deviations of observed SEE from the mean observed . The second method parameterizes as a multi\uffe2\uff80\uff90linear regression of clay and sand percentages, and sets to a constant mean value for all sites. The new model significantly outperformed the evaporation modules of ISBA (Interaction Sol\uffe2\uff80\uff90Biosph\uffc3\uffa8re\uffe2\uff80\uff90Atmosph\uffc3\uffa8re), H\uffe2\uff80\uff90TESSEL (Hydrology\uffe2\uff80\uff90Tiled ECMWF Scheme for Surface Exchange over Land), and CLM (Community Land Model). It has potential for integration in various land\uffe2\uff80\uff90surface schemes, and real calibration capabilities using combined thermal and microwave remote sensing data.Soil carbon (C) is a critical component of Earth system models (ESMs), and its diverse representations are a major source of the large spread across models in the terrestrial C sink from the third to fifth assessment reports of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). 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.

A new diagnostic metric based on soil moisture bimodality is developed in order to examine and compare soil moisture from satellite observations and Earth System Models. The methodology to derive this diagnostic is based on maximum likelihood estimator encoded into an iterative algorithm, which is applied to the soil moisture probability density function. This metric is applied to satellite data from the Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer for the Earth Observing System and global climate models data from the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 5 (CMIP5). Results show high soil moisture bimodality in transitional climate areas and high latitudes, potentially associated with land\uffe2\uff80\uff90atmosphere feedback processes. When comparing satellite versus climate models, a clear difference in their soil moisture bimodality is observed, with systematically higher values in the case of CMIP5 models. These differences appear related to areas where land\uffe2\uff80\uff90atmospheric feedback may be overestimated in current climate models.

This paper investigates the characteristics of dynamic rock fragmentation and its influence on the postfailure fragment trajectory. 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 study of biodiversity has grown exponentially in the last thirty years in response to demands for greater understanding of the function and importance of Earth's biodiversity and finding solutions to conserve it. Here, we test the hypothesis that biodiversity science has become more interdisciplinary over time. To do so, we analyze 97,945 peer\uffe2\uff80\uff90reviewed articles over a twenty\uffe2\uff80\uff90two\uffe2\uff80\uff90year time period (1990\uffe2\uff80\uff932012) with a continuous time dynamic model, which classifies articles into concepts (i.e., topics and ideas) based on word co\uffe2\uff80\uff90occurrences. Using the model output, we then quantify different aspects of interdisciplinarity: concept diversity, that is, the diversity of topics and ideas across subdisciplines in biodiversity science, subdiscipline diversity, that is, the diversity of subdisciplines across concepts, and network structure, which captures interactions between concepts and subdisciplines. 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. Moreover, our results provide evidence that conceptual homogenization, that is, decreases in temporal \uffce\uffb2 concept diversity, underlies the observed trends in interdisciplinarity. Together, our results reveal that biodiversity science is undergoing a dynamic phase as a scientific discipline that is consolidating around a core set of concepts. Our results suggest that progress toward addressing the biodiversity crisis via greater interdisciplinarity during the study period may have been slowed by extrinsic factors, such as the failure to invest in research spanning across concepts and disciplines. However, recent initiatives such as the Intergovernmental Science\uffe2\uff80\uff90Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES) may attract broader support for biodiversity\uffe2\uff80\uff90related issues and hence interdisciplinary approaches to address scientific, political, and societal challenges in the coming years.

Management of mixedwoods is advocated as an effective adaptation strategy to increase ecosystem resiliency in the context of climate change. Although mixedwoods have been shown to have greater resource use efficiency relative to pure stands, considerable uncertainty remains with respect to the underlying ecological processes. We explored species interactions in Scots pine/European beech mixedwoods with the process\uffe2\uff80\uff90based model FORECAST Climate. The model was calibrated for two contrasting forests in the southwestern Pyrenees (northern Spain): a wet Mediterranean site at 625\uffc2\uffa0m.a.s.l. and a subalpine site at 1335\uffc2\uffa0m.a.s.l. Predicted mixedwood yield was higher than that for beech stands but lower than pine stands. When simulating climate change, mixedwood yield was reduced at the Mediterranean site (\uffe2\uff88\uff9233%) but increased at the subalpine site (+11%). Interaction effects were enhanced as stands developed. Complementarity dominated the Mediterranean stand but neutral or net competition dominated the subalpine stand, which had higher stand density and water availability. Reduced water demand and consumption, increased canopy interception, and improved water\uffe2\uff80\uff90use efficiency in mixtures compared to beech stands, suggest a release of beech intraspecific competition. Beech also facilitated pine growth through better litter quality, nonsymbiotic nitrogen fixation, and above\uffe2\uff80\uff90 and belowground stratification, leading to higher foliar nitrogen content and deeper canopies in pines. In conclusion, mixtures may improve water availability and use efficiency for beech and light interception for pine, the main limiting factors for each species, respectively. Encouraging pine\uffe2\uff80\uff93beech mixtures could be an effective adaptation to climate change in drought\uffe2\uff80\uff90prone sites in the Mediterranean region.

The computational demand of the soil\uffe2\uff80\uff90structure interaction analysis for the design and assessment of structures, as well as for the evaluation of their life\uffe2\uff80\uff90cycle cost and risk exposure, has led the civil engineering community to the development of a variety of methods toward the model order reduction of the coupled soil\uffe2\uff80\uff90structure dynamic system in earthquake regions. Different approaches have been proposed in the past as computationally efficient alternatives to the conventional finite element model simulation of the complete soil\uffe2\uff80\uff90structure domain, such as the nonlinear lumped spring, the macroelement method, and the substructure partition method. Yet no approach was capable of capturing simultaneously the frequency\uffe2\uff80\uff90dependent dynamic properties along with the nonlinear behavior of the condensed segment of the overall soil\uffe2\uff80\uff90structure system under strong earthquake ground motion, thus generating an imbalance between the modeling refinement achieved for the soil and the structure. To this end, a dual frequency\uffe2\uff80\uff90dependent and intensity\uffe2\uff80\uff90dependent expansion of the lumped parameter modeling method is proposed in the current paper, materialized through a multiobjective algorithm, capable of closely approximating the behavior of the nonlinear dynamic system of the condensed segment. This is essentially the extension of an established methodology, also developed by the authors, in the inelastic domain. The efficiency of the proposed methodology is validated for the case of a bridge foundation system, wherein the seismic response is comparatively assessed for both the proposed method and the detailed finite element model. The above expansion is deemed a computationally efficient and reliable method for simultaneously considering the frequency and amplitude dependence of soil\uffe2\uff80\uff90foundation systems in the framework of nonlinear seismic analysis of soil\uffe2\uff80\uff90structure interaction systems.

Megathrust earthquake sequences, comprising mainshocks and triggered aftershocks along the subduction interface and in the overriding crust, can impact multiple buildings and infrastructure in a city. The time between the mainshocks and aftershocks usually is too short to retrofit the structures; therefore, moderate\uffe2\uff80\uff90size aftershocks can cause additional damage. To have a better understanding of the impact of aftershocks on city\uffe2\uff80\uff90wide seismic risk assessment, a new simulation framework of spatiotemporal seismic hazard and risk assessment of future M9.0 sequences in the Cascadia subduction zone is developed. The simulation framework consists of an epidemic\uffe2\uff80\uff90type aftershock sequence (ETAS) model, ground\uffe2\uff80\uff90motion model, and state\uffe2\uff80\uff90dependent seismic fragility model. The spatiotemporal ETAS model is modified to characterise aftershocks of large and anisotropic M9.0 mainshock ruptures. To account for damage accumulation of wood\uffe2\uff80\uff90frame houses due to aftershocks in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada, state\uffe2\uff80\uff90dependent fragility curves are implemented.

We propose two methods to calibrate the parameters of the epidemic\uffe2\uff80\uff90type aftershock sequence (ETAS) model based on expectation maximization (EM) while accounting for temporal variation of catalog completeness. The first method allows for model calibration on long\uffe2\uff80\uff90term earthquake catalogs with temporal variation of the completeness magnitude,mc. This calibration technique is beneficial for long\uffe2\uff80\uff90term probabilistic seismic hazard assessment (PSHA), which is often based on a mixture of instrumental and historical catalogs. The second method generalizes the concept ofmc, considering rate\uffe2\uff80\uff90 and magnitude\uffe2\uff80\uff90dependent detection probability, and allows for self\uffe2\uff80\uff90consistent estimation of ETAS parameters and high\uffe2\uff80\uff90frequency detection incompleteness. 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.

Every application of soil erosion models brings the need of proper parameterisation, that is, finding physically or conceptually plausible parameter values that allow a model to reproduce measured values. No universal approach for model parameterisation, calibration and validation exists, as it depends on the model, spatial and temporal resolution and the nature of the datasets used. We explored some existing options for parameterisation, calibration and validation for erosion modelling exemplary with a specific dataset and modelling approach. A new Morgan\uffe2\uff80\uff90Morgan\uffe2\uff80\uff90Finney (MMF)\uffe2\uff80\uff90type model was developed, representing a balanced position between physically\uffe2\uff80\uff90based and empirical modelling approaches. The resulting model termed \uffe2\uff80\uff98calculator for soil erosion\uffe2\uff80\uff99 (CASE), works in a spatially distributed way on the timescale of individual rainfall events. A dataset of 142 high\uffe2\uff80\uff90intensity rainfall experiments in Central Europe (AT, HU, IT, CZ), covering various slopes, soil types and experimental designs was used for calibration and validation with a modified Monte\uffe2\uff80\uff90Carlo approach. Subsequently, model parameter values were compared to parameter values obtained by alternative methods (measurements, pedotransfer functions, literature data). 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. For the sediment phase of the tested model agreement between calibrated cohesion, literature values and field measurements were only partially in line. The methods we explored may specifically be interesting for use with other MMF\uffe2\uff80\uff90type models, or with similar datasets.Shifting from a linear to a circular bio\uffe2\uff80\uff90economy requires new business models. The objective was getting insights into the uncharted research field of business model innovation for a circular and sustainable bio\uffe2\uff80\uff90economy within the agrifood sector. Eight European cases valorising agricultural waste and by\uffe2\uff80\uff90products by closing loops or cascading were studied regarding their innovation drivers and elements, via interviews, on\uffe2\uff80\uff90site visits and secondary data. In this domain, the findings highlight that business model innovations are depending on the (i) macro\uffe2\uff80\uff90environmental institutional\uffe2\uff80\uff90legal conditions and market trends, (ii) driven by internal economic, environmental and/or social objectives, but especially strongly linked to (iii) other actors often from different sectors seeking synergies and (iv) value co\uffe2\uff80\uff90creation via combined organisational and technological innovations. Business models for a circular bio\uffe2\uff80\uff90economy thus depend on various action levels and need radical combined organisational and technological innovations for a most efficient usage of agricultural waste and by\uffe2\uff80\uff90products. This also means new business configurations instead of linear innovation strategies currently still being dominant due to economic viability.

High\uffe2\uff80\uff90resolution numerical weather prediction (NWP) simulations of heavy rainfall events are known to be strongly sensitive to the choice of the sub\uffe2\uff80\uff90grid scale parameterisation schemes. In the African continent, studies on such a choice at the convective\uffe2\uff80\uff90resolving scales are not numerous. By exploiting a state\uffe2\uff80\uff90of\uffe2\uff80\uff90the\uffe2\uff80\uff90art NWP model, the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model, the sensitivity of the simulation of three heavy rainfall events in Sub\uffe2\uff80\uff90Saharan Africa to the microphysical (MP) and planetary boundary layer (PBL) schemes is studied.

In terms of heavy rainfall forecast location, it is found that the PBL scheme has a greater impact than the MP, which is shown to control the cloud\uffe2\uff80\uff90top temperature simulation.

Global change is affecting soil biodiversity and functioning across all terrestrial ecosystems. Still, much is unknown about how soil biodiversity and function will change in the future in response to simultaneous alterations in climate and land use, as well as other environmental drivers. It is crucial to understand the direct, indirect\uffc2\uffa0and interactive effects of global change drivers on soil communities and ecosystems across environmental contexts, not only today but also in the near future. This is particularly relevant for international efforts to tackle climate change like the Paris Agreement, and considering the failure to achieve the 2020 biodiversity targets, especially the target of halting soil degradation. Here, we outline the main frontiers related to soil ecology that were presented and discussed at the thematic sessions of the World Biodiversity Forum 2022 in Davos, Switzerland. We highlight multiple frontiers of knowledge associated with data integration, causal inference, soil biodiversity and function scenarios, critical soil biodiversity facets, underrepresented drivers, global collaboration, knowledge application and transdisciplinarity, as well as policy and public communication. These identified research priorities are not only of immediate interest to the scientific community but may also be considered in research priority programmes and calls for funding.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. The outputs of the fatigue simulations are large in volume and of high dimensionality, as they typically consist of estimates on finite\uffe2\uff80\uff90element computational meshes. The strain and stress tensor time series, which are the primary quantities of interest when considering the problem of fatigue estimation, are dictated by complex vibration characteristics due to the coupled effect of aerodynamics, structural dynamics, geometrically non\uffe2\uff80\uff90linear mechanics, and control. A Variational Auto\uffe2\uff80\uff90Encoder (VAE) is trained in order to model the probability distribution of the accumulated fatigue on the root cross\uffe2\uff80\uff90section of a simulated wind turbine blade. The VAE is conditioned on historical data that correspond to coarse wind\uffe2\uff80\uff90field measurement statistics, such as mean hub\uffe2\uff80\uff90height wind speed, standard deviation of hub\uffe2\uff80\uff90height wind speed and shear exponent. In the absence of direct measurements of structural loads, the proposed technique finds applications in making long\uffe2\uff80\uff90term probabilistic deterioration predictions from historical Supervisory, Control, and Data Acquisition (SCADA) data, while capturing the inherent aleatoric uncertainty due to the incomplete information on strain time series of the wind turbine structure, when only SCADA data statistics are available.

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.

Outgoing longwave radiation is parameterised using surface temperature observations on a grass and an asphalt surface, whereas outgoing shortwave radiation is modelled through variations in albedo for the different surfaces. The influence of ground surface materials on T mrt is small compared to the effects of shadowing. Nevertheless, altering ground surface materials could contribute to a reduction in T mrt to reduce the radiant load during heat-wave episodes in locations where shadowing is not an option. Evaluation of the new scheme suggests that despite its simplicity it can simulate the outgoing fluxes well, especially during sunny conditions. However, it underestimates at night and in shadowed locations. One grass surface used to develop the parameterisation, with very different characteristics compared to an evaluation grass site, caused T mrt to be underestimated.

Streams and rivers act as landscape-scale bioreactors processing large quantities of terrestrial particulate organic matter (POM). This function is linked to their flow regime, which governs residence times, shapes organic matter reactivity and controls the amount of carbon (C) exported to the atmosphere and coastal oceans. Climate change impacts flow regimes by increasing both flash floods and droughts. Here, we used a modelling approach to explore the consequences of lateral hydrological contraction, that is, the reduction of the wet portion of the streambed, for POM decomposition and transport at the river network scale. Our model integrates seasonal leaf litter input as generator of POM, transient storage of POM on wet and dry streambed portions with associated decomposition and ensuing changes in reactivity, and transport dynamics through a dendritic river network. Simulations showed that the amount of POM exported from the river network and its average reactivity increased with lateral hydrological contraction, due to the combination of (1) low processing of POM while stored on dry streambeds, and (2) large shunting during flashy events. The sensitivity analysis further supported that high lateral hydrological contraction leads to higher export of higher reactivity POM, regardless of transport coefficient values, average reactivity of fresh leaf litter and differences between POM reactivity under wet and dry conditions. Our study incorporates storage in dry streambed areas into the pulse-shunt concept (Raymond and others in Ecology 97(1):5\uffe2\uff80\uff9316, 2016. https://doi.org/10.1890/14-1684.1), providing a mechanistic framework and testable predictions about leaf litter storage, transport and decomposition in fluvial networks.Managed grasslands have the potential to store carbon (C) and partially mitigate climate change. However, it remains difficult to predict potential C storage under a given soil or management practice. To study C storage dynamics due to long-term (1952\uffe2\uff80\uff932009) phosphorus (P) fertilizer and irrigation treatments in New Zealand grasslands, we measured radiocarbon (14C) in archived soil along with observed changes in C stocks to constrain a compartmental soil model. Productivity increases from P application and irrigation in these trials resulted in very similar C accumulation rates between 1959 and 2009. The \uffe2\uff88\uff8614C changes over the same time period were similar in plots that were both irrigated and fertilized, and only differed in a non-irrigated fertilized plot. Model results indicated that decomposition rates of fast cycling C (0.1 to 0.2\uffc2\uffa0year\uffe2\uff88\uff921) increased to nearly offset increases in inputs. With increasing P fertilization, decomposition rates also increased in the slow pool (0.005 to 0.008\uffc2\uffa0year\uffe2\uff88\uff921). Our findings show sustained, significant (i.e. greater than 4 per mille) increases in C stocks regardless of treatment or inputs. As the majority of fresh inputs remain in the soil for less than 10\uffc2\uffa0years, these long term increases reflect dynamics of the slow pool. Additionally, frequent irrigation was associated with reduced stocks and increased decomposition of fresh plant material. Rates of C gain and decay highlight trade-offs between productivity, nutrient availability, and soil C sequestration as a climate change mitigation strategy.

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.

This paper summarises the model that has been developed to assign the years when different seismic design levels (low code, moderate code and high code) were introduced in a number of European coun- tries and the associated lateral forces that were specified spatially within each country for the low and moderate codes for typical reinforced concrete mid-rise buildings. This process has led to an improved understanding of how design regulations evolved across Europe and how this has impacted the vulnerability of the European residential building stock. The model estimates that ~ 60% of the reinforced concrete buildings in Europe have been seis- mically designed, and of those buildings ~ 60% have been designed to low code, ~ 25% to moderate code and 15% to high code. This seismic design model aims at being a dynamic source of information that will be continuously updated with additional feedback from local experts and datasets. To this end, all of the data has been made openly available as shapefiles on a GitLab repository.", "keywords": ["Seismic design evolution ; Lateral force levels ; European building stock ; Exposure model ; Seismic zonation maps ; Seismic risk", "Physics", "ddc:530", "0211 other engineering and technologies", "Seismic design evolution", "02 engineering and technology", "624", "Exposure model", "530", "Seismic zonation maps", "Seismic risk", "11.

Adults were collected from an area surrounding a former smelter (ME), highly polluted by trace metals (TMs) for decades, and from an unpolluted site (BE). 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). Bioaccumulation in snail soft tissues globally increased with soil contamination, with Cd, Pb and Zn concentrations reaching 271, 187, 5527\u00a0\u03bcg\u00a0g(-1), respectively. 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. Abnormal but reversible shell development of adult ME C. nemoralis suggested physiological acclimatization. Differences in responses to TMs between populations are observed for conchological parameters, not for bioaccumulation, with different strategies according to the species (acclimatization or adaptation/maternal effects).", "keywords": ["550", "invertebrate", "Snails", "590", "0211 other engineering and technologies", "02 engineering and technology", "heavy metal", "Adaptation", " Physiological", "01 natural sciences", "Kinetics", "bioaccumulation", "Models", " Chemical", "Metals", "13.
