By exploring the water use strategies of five dominant tree species in #TropicalSecondaryForests during the wet season, Shuting Yu et al. found that the dominant tree species primarily utilized shallow soil water compared to deeper soil water.

Radiocarbon analysis of turfgrasses can help cities measure greenhouse gas emissions
Cities around the world are working to limit emissions of climate-warming greenhouse gases, but there have been few ways of measuring whether those gases are actually decreasing in any given municipality. In new research, University of California, Irvine scientists have created an effective method to measure greenhouse gas emissions around cities—something that can help local governments gauge the effectiveness of their emission-curbing programs.

FemArc e.V.Neanderthal's high nitrogen values usually lead to them being interpreted as hypercarnivore. But the original study suggests maggots in stored and putrefied meat as cause for the high values:

Die hohen Stickstoffwerte von Neanderthalern führen üblicherweise dazu, dass sie als Hypercarnivoren bezeichnet werden. Aber die Originalstudie legt Maden aus gelagertem & verrottetem Fleisch als Grund für die hohen Werte nahe.

How is #fisheries management evolving? Chris Harrod tells us how #StableIsotopes can be used to understand #fish #ecology. #LoughNeagh and #SteangfordLough were treated completely differently. But, when brought together in a #StableIsotope study, it was seen that a large amount of the diet from #cormorants in Stanford Lough comes from Lough Neagh. The systems are connected #FSBI2025
