The current generation of dynamic global vegetation models (DGVMs) lacks a mechanistic representation of vegetation responses to soil drought, impairing their ability to accurately predict Earth system responses to future...
Geographies of commemoration
Memorialising lives, deaths and events in landscapes can be authorised, official and highly regulated, or spontaneous, unsanctioned and anti-authoritarian. Interpreting and connecting two sites spanning the Pacific Ocean, this...

New perspectives on the effect of halocarbon degradation in ozone formation and destruction in stratospheric chemistry
The fate of stratospheric trihalomethyl radicals, resulting from the photo-dissociation of chlorofluoromethane, has been explored in relation to their role in reactions leading to ozone depletion. Oxidation reactions involving...

Cumulative and synergistic impacts from environmental pressures, particularly in low-lying tropical coastal regions, present challenges for the governance of ecosystems, which provide natural resource-based livelihoods for...
Blowups with log canonical singularities
We show that the minimum weight of a weighted blowup of Ad with ε–log canonical singularities is bounded by a constant depending only on ε and d . This was conjectured by Birkar. Using the recent classification of...
Three-layer flows in the shallow water limit
We formulate and discuss the shallow water limit dynamics of the layered flow with three layers of immiscible fluids of different densities bounded above and below by horizontal walls. We obtain a resulting system of four...

Defects in the NC2 repressor affect both canonical and non-coding RNA polymerase II transcription initiation in yeast.
BACKGROUND: The formation of the pre-initiation complex in eukaryotic genes is a key step in transcription initiation. The TATA-binding protein (TBP) is a universal component of all pre-initiation complexes for all kinds of RNA...
