FESIM: A Modular Forest Economic Simulation Model

Abstract The Forest Economic Simulation Model (FESIM) is a dynamic, modular framework that generates integrated ecological and economic projections for forest enterprises under varying scenarios. Fully formulated in linear algebra, the model ensures complete reproducibility and i...

Soil redox potential and plant species identity likely affect root-associated fungi in salt marshes

Abstract Root-associated fungi (RAF) are important for plant performance because they form beneficial, neutral, or pathogenic relationships with their hosts, thus regulating nutrient uptake, stress tolerance, and overall plant fitness. At the transition from marine to terrestrial...

Bridging the gap between genomic, phenotypic, and modeling data in picophytoplankton–virus interactions

Abstract We present a comprehensive synthesis of recent developments in methodological approaches to combine experimental and genomic studies of picophytoplankton–virus interactions. This synthesis will not only enhance our understanding of these relationships but also stimulate...

Invited perspectives: Towards usable compound event research

Abstract. Supporting stakeholders with science-based decision-making to mitigate and adapt to climate change impacts is a central mandate of the climate research community. In particular, mapping out scenario-dependent climate risk landscapes is one of the most pressing challenge...

Distinct lattice and charge excitations in AV3Sb5 kagome superconductors

The kagome superconductor family A V 3 Sb 5 ( A = Cs, Rb, K) provides a rich platform for exploring diverse electronic symmetry breaking phenomena, including superconductivity and various forms of density wave orders. Although these compounds share the identical lattice structure...

Moiré‐Induced Symmetry Breaking of Charge Order in van der Waals Heterostructures

ABSTRACT Layered materials that stack different lattice symmetries are rare in nature. Misfit layered chalcogenides, which combine square and hexagonal lattices of rocksalt monochalcogenides and transition‐metal dichalcogenides, provide a platform to explore how incommensurabilit...

Oxygen minimum zones in the Indian Ocean and their response to changes in the Indian Ocean meridional circulation

Abstract. The Oxygen Minimum Zones (OMZs) in the northern Indian Ocean (i.e., the Arabian Sea and the Bay of Bengal) are among the most intense OMZs in the world's oceans. While there has been no clear evidence of a significant change in the Bay of Bengal OMZ (BoB OMZ), the Arabi...

The Hamburg Method for active cities: a multi-level framework for evidence-based urban physical activity promotion

Abstract Physical inactivity is a persistent global public health challenge, particularly in urban settings where complex social, environmental, and infrastructural factors shape opportunities for physical activity. Despite extensive evidence on effective interventions, a persist...

STARSFLUX: an all-sky catalogue of absolute spectro-photometric calibrators from 0.3 to 30 μ m

Abstract Obtaining accurate fluxes of faint sources from the ground in near- and mid-infrared wavelengths is challenging because of the rapidly changing atmospheric absorption. A common limitation is the lack of a nearby spectro-photometric calibrator. We present the STellar Abso...

“Norman… I Hate to Talk About Norman”: The Art of the Insult and Literary Friendship, Circa 1960

The essay rereads the literary field of the mid-twentieth century as structured by “the art of the insult”—a game the literati, exemplified by James Baldwin and Norman Mailer, are invested in. In essays and interviews, these writers engage in ad hominem verbal attacks to test the...
