Open AccessVelocities of transmission eigenchannels and diffusion
The diffusion model is used to calculate both the time-averaged flow of particles in stochastic media and the propagation of waves averaged over ensembles of disordered static configurations. For classical wav...

Open AccessGlobal soil profiles indicate depth-dependent soil carbon losses under a warmer climate
Soil organic carbon (SOC) changes under future climate warming are difficult to quantify in situ. Here we apply an innovative approach combining space-for-time substitution with meta-analysis to SOC measuremen...

Open AccessGene-informed decomposition model predicts lower soil carbon loss due to persistent microbial adaptation to warming
Soil microbial respiration is an important source of uncertainty in projecting future climate and carbon (C) cycle feedbacks. However, its feedbacks to climate warming and underlying microbial mechanisms are s...

Open AccessDiffusion in translucent media
Diffusion is the result of repeated random scattering. It governs a wide range of phenomena from Brownian motion, to heat flow through window panes, neutron flux in fuel rods, dispersion of light in human tiss...

Open AccessOrganic carbon prediction in soil cores using VNIR and MIR techniques in an alpine landscape
Diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS), including visible and near-infrared (VNIR) and mid-infrared (MIR) radiation, is a rapid, accurate and cost-effective technique for estimating soil organic carbon (SOC). ...

Open AccessThe functional gene composition and metabolic potential of coral-associated microbial communities
The phylogenetic diversity of coral-associated microbes has been extensively examined, but some contention remains regarding whether coral-associated microbial communities are species-specific or site-specific...

Open AccessUniversal structure of transmission eigenchannels inside opaque media
As the desire to explore opaque materials is ordinarily frustrated by multiple scattering of waves, attention has focused on the transmission matrix of the wave field. This matrix gives the fullest account of ...

Open AccessImpacts of the Three Gorges Dam on microbial structure and potential function
The Three Gorges Dam has significantly altered ecological and environmental conditions within the reservoir region, but how these changes affect bacterioplankton structure and function is unknown. Here, three ...
