On the Properties of Reachability, Observability, Controllability, and Constructibility of Discrete-Time Positive Time-Invariant Linear Systems with Aperiodic Choice of the Samplin... by M. De la Sen

“…Controllability and constructibility hold globally only asymptotically under close conditions to the above ones guaranteeing reachability/observability provided that the matrix of dynamics of the continuous-time system, required to be a Metzler matrix for the system's positivity, is furthermore a stability matrix while they hold in finite time only for regions excluding the zero vector of the first orthant of the state space or output space, respectively. …”

Effectiveness of the world network of biosphere reserves in maintaining forest ecosystem functions by Charlotte Gohr, Henrik von Wehrden, Sassan Saatchi, Nathalie Pettorelli, Pierre L. Ibisch

“…To address this knowledge gap, we investigated differences in satellite-derived proxies of ecosystem functions in forests between inside and surrounding areas of biosphere reserves, globally. Our findings based on linear mixed effect models show that (i) only 18 of 119 biosphere reserves exhibited higher values for all forest ecosystem function proxies inside the reserves compared to outside, (ii) smaller reserves in fragmented forestscapes were more affected by hot day temperatures, and (iii) greater forest cover correlated with increased ecosystem functioning across all biomes. …”
