Evaluating Ecohydrological Theories of Woody Root Distribution in the Kalahari

The contribution of savannas to global carbon storage is poorly understood, in part due to lack of knowledge of the amount of belowground biomass. In these ecosystems, the coexistence of woody and herbaceous life forms is often explained on the basis of be ...

Holocene carbon emissions as a result of anthropogenic land cover change

Jed Oliver Kaplan, Kristen Marie Krumhardt

Humans have altered the Earth’s land surface since the Paleolithic mainly by clearing woody vegetation first to improve hunting and gathering opportunities, and later to provide agricultural cropland. In the Holocene, agriculture was established on nearly ...

Heterogeneity of soil carbon pools and fluxes in a channelized and a restored floodplain section (Thur River, Switzerland)

Claire Guenat, Edward Mitchell, François Gillet, Bertrand Fournier

Due to their spatial complexity and dynamic nature, floodplains provide a wide range of ecosystem functions. However, because of flow regulation, many riverine floodplains have lost their characteristic heterogeneity. Restoration of floodplain habitats and ...

Modelling prehistoric land use and carbon budgets: A critical review

Jed Oliver Kaplan

An evaluation of modelled estimates for C release following early land clearance at the global level based on new model assumptions suggests that earlier studies may have underestimated its magnitude, chiefly because of underestimation of the mid-Holocene ...

The El Nino-Southern Oscillation and wetland methane interannual variability

Jed Oliver Kaplan

Global measurements of atmospheric methane (CH4) concentrations continue to show large interannual variability whose origin is only partly understood. Here we quantify the influence of the El Nino-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) on wetland CH4 emissions, which ...

Experimental climate effect on seasonal variability of polyphenol/phenoloxidase interplay along a narrow fen-bog ecological gradient in Sphagnum fallax

Alexandre Buttler, Vincent Eric Jules Jassey

Extracellular phenoloxidase enzymes play an important role in the stability of soil carbon storage by contributing to the cycling of complex recalcitrant phenolic compounds. Climate warming could affect peatland functioning through an alteration of polyphe ...

Modelling soil carbon and nitrogen cycles during land use change

David Andrew Barry, Alessandro Brovelli, Jordi Batlle-Aguilar

Forested soils are being increasingly transformed to agricultural fields in response to growing demands for food crop. This modification of the land use is known to result in deterioration of soil properties, in particular its fertility. To reduce the impa ...

Electrical properties and applications of carbon based nanocomposite materials: An overview

Arnaud Magrez, Rosendo Sanjines, Marijana Mionic Ebersold, Rita Smajda

The allotropic forms of carbon (amorphous and polycrystalline graphite, carbon black, fullerenes, nanotubes, graphene) exhibit a large variety of charge transport properties which have been stimulating fundamental and applied research for the development o ...

Chaotic mixing using source-sink microfluidic flows in a PDMS chip

Martinus Gijs, Abdeljalil Sayah, Caroline Vandevyver, Hüseyin Cumhur Tekin, Ata Tuna Ciftlik, Venkataragavalu Sivagnanam

We present an active fixed-volume mixer based on the creation of multiple source–sink microfluidic flows in a polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) chip without the need of external or internal pumps. To do so, four different pressure-controlled actuation chambers a ...
