Founded in 1903, Carnegie's former Desert Laboratory on Tumamoc Hill gave birth to the fields of plant physiology and ecology. Founded in 2002, Carnegie's Department of Global Ecology played a ...

Helium is generally understood to be chemically inert and this is due to its extremely stable closed-shell electronic configuration, zero electron affinity and an unsurpassed ionization potential. It ...

An overriding interest in photosynthesis has propelled my wanderings from chemist to biochemist to plant physiologist and on to global topics. Equations and models have been organizing principles ...

Multimodel ensembles (MME) are commonplace in Earth system modeling. Here we perform MME integration using a 10-member ensemble of terrestrial biosphere models (TBMs) from the Multiscale synthesis and ...

Background and Aims Future shifts in precipitation regimes and temperature are expected to affect plant traits dramatically. To date, many studies have explored the effects of acute stresses, but few ...

A mission to unexplored lunar territory has returned the youngest volcanic samples collected so far. The rocks highlight the need to make revisions to models of the thermal evolution of the Moon.

B-type lamins, the major components of the nuclear lamina, are believed to be essential for cell proliferation and survival. We found that mouse embryonic stem cells (ESCs) do not need any lamins for ...

The Earth's core formation mechanism determines the siderophile and light elements abundance in the Earth's mantle and core. Previous studies suggest that the sink of massive liquid metal through a ...

Tree death from drought and heat stress is a critical and uncertain component in forest ecosystem responses to a changing climate. Recent research has illuminated how tree mortality is a complex ...

10.1111/j.1945-5100.2012.01357.x We review a number of constraints that have been placed on the formation of chondrules and show how these can be used to test chondrule formation models. Four models ...

Competition among atomic or molecular species for occupancy of crystallographic sites exaggerates correlations among chemical elements in suites of mineral chemical data, a phenomenon known as closure ...
