Little Red Dots: Rapidly Growing Black Holes Reddened by Extended Dusty Flows by Zhengrong Li, Kohei Inayoshi, Kejian Chen, Kohei Ichikawa, Luis C. Ho

“…In the infrared, the SED is shaped by an extended dust and gas distribution ( γ  < 1; ρ  ∝  r ^− ^γ ) with characteristic gas densities of ≃10–10 ^3 cm ^−3 , which allows relatively cool dust temperatures to dominate the radiation. As a result, these dust structures shift the emission energy peak from near-infrared to mid-infrared bands in the rest frame; for sources at z  ~ 4–7, the corresponding wavelengths shift from the JWST/MIRI to Herschel range. …”

Characteristics of Soil Active Carbon Fractions and Carbon Pool Stability in Major Forest Types in Northern Daxing’an Mountains by LIU Beibei, CAI Tijiu

“…The overall stability of soil organic carbon in coniferous forests in the cold temperate zone was greater than that in broad-leaved forests, but the rate of organic carbon loss from deeper soil layers in coniferous forests was higher than that in broad-leaved forests under higher temperatures. [Conclusion] This study helps to improve the understanding of soil active carbon and organic carbon pools in cold temperate forests, artificially promoting secondary forest succession or introducing coniferous species as soon as possible is suggested to form mixed forests in the region, but the role played by broad-leaved forests in soil carbon pools should not be ignored in the context of increasing global warming.…”

Enrichment of electrotrophic microorganisms from contrasting shallow-sea hydrothermal environments in bioelectrochemical reactors by Antoine Carissimo, Victoria Comes, Alenica Heussner, Anne-Hélène Prime, Roy E. Price, Gaël Erauso, Pierre-Pol Liebgott, Sven Kerzenmacher, Guillaume Pillot

“…In Panarea reactors, higher growth was correlated with a few bacterial genera, mainly Bacillus and Pseudoalteromonas, including, for the former, at higher temperatures (55°C and 75°C). In reactors reproducing the Prony Bay hydrothermal conditions, known facultative methylotrophs, such as Sphingomonas and Methylobacterium, were dominant and appeared to consume formate (provided as carbon source) but no electrons from the cathode.ConclusionThese results provide new insights into the distribution and diversity of electrotrophs in shallow-sea hydrothermal vents and allow the identification of potential novel biocatalysts for Microbial Electrosynthesis whereby electricity and carbon dioxide are converted into value-added products.…”

Efficiency metrics for ocean alkalinity enhancements under responsive and prescribed atmospheric <i>p</i>CO₂ conditions by M. D. Tyka

“…Due to these feedback effects, care must be taken to compute the correct metrics when assessing OAE efficiency with respect to determining negative emissions credits, as opposed to determining the effect on global temperatures. This paper examines the commonly used metrics of OAE efficiency, their exact physical meanings, the assumptions inherent in their use, and the relationship between them. …”
