Land conversions not climate effects are the dominant indirect consequence of sun-driven CO2 capture, conversion, and sequestration by Moritz Adam, Thomas Kleinen, Matthias M May, Kira Rehfeld

“…Drawing on a novel explicit representation of CO _2 removal in a state-of-the-art Earth system model, we find that these process chains can be renewably powered and have minimal implications for the climate and carbon cycle. …”

The Referenced Vertex Ordering Problem: Theory, Applications, and Solution Methods by Omer, Jérémy, Mucherino, Antonio

“…Given a simple undirected graph $G=(V,E)$, revorder basically asks whether the vertices of $G$ can be sorted in a way to guarantee that every vertex is adjacent to a minimal number of its predecessors in the order. Previous works show that revorder, as well as its optimization counterpart, denoted in our work as min revorder, are NP-hard. …”

Maintien du potentiel adaptatif chez les plantes domestiquées à propagation clonale by Doyle McKey, Marianne Elias, Benoît Pujol, Anne Duputié, Marc Delêtre, Delphine Renard

“…By highly selective incorporation of volunteer plants – via processes that combine both natural and artificial selection – Amerindian cultivators are able to maintain simultaneously genetic diversity and agronomic performance of their manioc populations, combining sexual reproduction and clonal propagation in a way that reaps the benefits of each mode of reproduction while minimizing their respective disadvantages. In regions where manioc has been introduced since the “discovery” of America by Europeans, the technical knowledge of Amerindian cultivators about the use of products of manioc’s sexual reproduction has not been introduced along with the plant. …”

Getting more by asking for less: Linking species interactions to species co-distributions in metacommunities by Barbier, Matthieu, Bunin, Guy, Leibold, Mathew A.

“…Here we show that the latter issue arises almost inescapably, even in a simple theoretical setting designed to minimize it. Using a model of competitive metacommunity dynamics where direct species interactions are assumed to be context-independent, we show that inferring these interactions accurately from cross-species correlations is a major challenge under all but the most restrictive assumptions. …”
