High-resolution 4D electrical resistivity tomography and below-ground point sensor monitoring of High Arctic deglaciated sediments capture zero-curtain effects, freeze–thaw transit... by M. O. Cimpoiasu, O. Kuras, H. Harrison, P. B. Wilkinson, P. Meldrum, J. E. Chambers, D. Liljestrand, C. Oroza, S. K. Schmidt, P. Sommers, L. Vimercati, T. P. Irons, Z. Lyu, A. Solon, J. A. Bradley, J. A. Bradley

“…Understanding the physical mechanisms and processes that determine soil liquid moisture availability contributes to the way we conceptualize and understand the development and functioning of terrestrial Arctic ecosystems. However, harsh weather and logistical constraints limit opportunities to directly observe subsurface processes year-round; hence automated and uninterrupted strategies of monitoring the coupled heat and water movement in soils are essential. …”

A novel Alteromonas phage with tail fiber containing six potential iron-binding domains by Chen Yu, Meishun Yu, Ruijie Ma, Shuzhen Wei, Min Jin, Nianzhi Jiao, Qiang Zheng, Rui Zhang, Xuejin Feng

“…Our isolation and characterization of R22Y complements the Trojan Horse hypothesis, proposes the possible role of alterophages for marine iron biogeochemical cycling, and provides new insights into phage-host interactions in the iron-limited ocean.IMPORTANCEIron (Fe), as an essential micronutrient, is often a limiting factor for microbial growth in marine ecosystems. The Trojan Horse hypothesis suggests that iron in the phage tail fibers is recognized by the host’s siderophore-bound iron receptor, enabling the phage to attach and initiate infection. …”

Improving machine learning predictions to estimate fishing effort using vessel's tracking data by J. Samarão, A. Moreno, M.B. Gaspar, M.M. Rufino

“…This information can identify areas with high fishing density, warranting protection of their main fishing grounds against other users (i.e. ocean grabbing), while also signalling potential stock depletion requiring management interventions and preserving the ecosystems from which these fisheries depend on.In this study, we propose a series of steps to enhance the performance of Machine Learning algorithms in estimating fishing effort. …”
