Forecasting Flood Inundation in U.S. Flood-Prone Regions Through a Data-Driven Approach (FIER): Using VIIRS Water Fractions and the National Water Model by Amirhossein Rostami, Chi-Hung Chang, Hyongki Lee, Hung-Hsien Wan, Tien Le Thuy Du, Kel N. Markert, Gustavious P. Williams, E. James Nelson, Sanmei Li, William Straka III, Sean Helfrich, Angelica L. Gutierrez

“…Although originally developed utilizing Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) images, this study demonstrated FIER’s versatility and effectiveness in flood forecasting by demonstrating its successful adaptation with optical VIIRS imagery which provides daily water fraction product, offering more historical observations to be used as inputs for FIER during peak flood times, particularly in regions where flooding commonly happens in a short period rather than following a broad seasonal pattern.…”

Protist communities are correlated with abiotic soil factors, but not resources, prey, or predators along a subalpine secondary succession by Ajuan Zhang, Anton M. Potapov, Ruyi Luo, Yan Zhang, Wei Qiang, Bing Liu, Xueyong Pang

“…Our findings highlight the dominant role of abiotic soil factors in shaping protist communities, which may lead to a decoupling of above- (plant) and belowground (protist) diversity patterns. Moreover, higher trophic levels within protist communities showed greater sensitivity to succession, indicating functional restructuring in soil micro-food webs during ecosystem development. …”
