Implementing methane dynamics into the LPJmL6 model

Abstract. We extend the Dynamic Global Vegetation Model LPJmL to version 6.0 by explicitly representing methane (CH4) dynamics within the coupled carbon–nitrogen–water system. The implementation (i) prognoses water-table depth and wetland extent using a CTI–TOPMODEL framework, (i...

Feasible geological carbon dioxide storage projections require updated cost and geological potential assumptions

Integrated Assessment Models project large-scale deployment of carbon dioxide geological storage across many climate change mitigation pathways. However, the feasibility of these projections - particularly concerning near-term scale-up rates - has been criticised. Here, we examin...

Manipulation of Photoresponse via Defect-Level Excitations in Metal–Insulator–Semiconductor-Type Two-Dimensional Heterostructure for Optoelectronic Logic Gates

Abstract In recent years, effective carrier–exciton conversion and defect engineering in tunneling diodes based on metal–insulator–semiconductor (MIS) van der Waals heterostructures have attracted extensive research interest in modulating optoelectronic device performance. Effect...

Elucidating the Impact of Bacterial Composition and Diversity on Skin Homeostasis Using a Human 3D In Vitro Skin Model

The importance of the skin microbiome in human health has become increasingly evident. Despite considerable advancements, complex host–microbe interactions remain largely unexplored, primarily due to a paucity of models mimicking human skin and maintaining bacterial diversity in...
