Lower grass stomatal conductance under elevated CO2 can decrease transpiration and evapotranspiration rates despite carbon fertilization by Sate Ahmad, Charilaos Yiotis, Weimu Xu, Jan Knappe, Laurence Gill, Jennifer McElwain

“…Although studies with larger sample sizes are needed for more robust conclusions, our findings have significant implications for global environmental change. Reductions in ET from ryegrass‐dominated grasslands and pastures could increase soil moisture and groundwater recharge, potentially leading to increased surface runoff and flooding.…”

Shifts in northern Arizona plant and insect pollinator communities between 2 years with substantially different precipitation totals by P. R. Chesshire, P. R. Chesshire, L. M. Holeski

“…<p>The structure of plant–pollinator mutualistic interactions is important for pollination network stability and robustness in the face of environmental change. Even slight changes in seasonal or annual precipitation patterns can disrupt the critical plant–pollinator mutualisms that comprise healthy pollination systems, primarily through changes in the availability of floral resources. …”

Coupling ICESat-2 and Sentinel-2 data for inversion of mangrove tidal flat to predict future distribution pattern of mangroves by Xiaoyong Ming, Yichao Tian, Qiang Zhang, Yali Zhang, Jin Tao, Junliang Lin

“…A detailed topography survey of tidal flat is essential for exploring how tidal flat ecosystems respond to environmental changes and for predicting morphological shifts, thereby impacting the protection and restoration of mangrove ecosystems. …”

Influence of food availability on the diet and activity budget of two western lowland gorilla (Gorilla gorilla gorilla) groups of differing size in the Dzanga-Ndoki National Park,... by Terence Fuh Neba, Giuseppe Donati, Angelique Todd, Shelly Masi

“…Such flexibility may better allow WLG groups to track ripe fruits when available but, unlike sympatric chimpanzees, switch to more herbivorous diets when necessary, adjusting activity budgets accordingly ; WLGs thus may be considered more resilient faced with environmental change such as forest degradation.…”

Extreme migratory connectivity and apparent mirroring of non-breeding grounds conditions in a severely declining breeding population of an Afro-Palearctic migratory bird by Máire Kirkland, Nathaniel N.

Hulme, John Jarjou, Dembo Jatta, Emmanuel Jatta, Kevin Leighton, Ernestina Mensah-Pebi, Chris Orsman, Naffie Sarr, Roger Walsh, Leo Zwarts, Robert J. Fuller, Philip W. Atkinson, Chris M. Hewson

“…Abstract Understanding the distribution of breeding populations of migratory animals in the non-breeding period (migratory connectivity) is important for understanding their response to environmental change. High connectivity (low non-breeding population dispersion) may lower resilience to climate change and increase vulnerability to habitat loss within their range. …”

Amplified impact of contact uniformity on the performance of low-catalyst-loading fuel cells by Yuanzhe Ma, Xuanyu Wang, Ziliang Deng, Yongzhen Wang, Nanfeng Zheng, Kai Han, Zipeng Zhao

“…The experimental data is consistent with the theoretical study and can be explained as lower catalyst loading comes along with a lower volume fraction of conductive carbon support and fewer platinum sites, making the electrochemical reaction’s ohmic and mass transfer overpotential more sensitive to the environmental change. More specifically, the theoretical study shows that the MEA with lower loading (0.04 mgPGM/cm2) suffers a more than doubled ohmic overpotential increase compared to the MEA with higher loading (0.12 mgPGM/cm2) when average contact pressure reduces from 0.8 MPa to 0.2 MPa. …”
