Combined effects of fire, fragmentation, and windstorms leave Amazonian trees particularly vulnerable

Recent research finds that Amazonian trees in fragmented forest landscapes remain especially vulnerable to windstorms for several years after being impacted by fire — and that, in particular, larger ...

Fragmentation Trees for Automated de novo Interpretation of Impure Electron Ionization Spectra from Gas Chromatographic Complex Mixture Analysis—Chemical Deconvolution

-Impure spectra contain signals from multiple analytes or signals unrelated to the main analyte, due to propinquitous coelution that confounds purely mathematical de-coelution. Some such spectra are ...

Tropical forest fragmentation nearing ‘critical point,’ study finds

In addition to having severe repercussions for animals like jaguars and tigers that require vast tracts of connected habitat, forest fragmentation has a big carbon footprint. A new physics-based study ...
