K. Simakov, A. Kouchi, N.N. Mel’nik et al.     Most of Earth’s diamonds are connected with deep-seated mantle rocks; however, in recent years, μm-sized diamonds have been found in shallower metamorphic rocks, and the process …             Projection of corn production and stover-harvesting impacts on soil organic carbon dynamics in the U.S. Temperate Prairies ▶     Yiping Wu, Shuguang Liu, Claudia J. Young et al.     Terrestrial carbon sequestration potential is widely considered as a realistic option for mitigating greenhouse gas emissions. However, this potential may be threatened by global …             Gross primary production of global forest ecosystems has been overestimated ▶     Jianyong Ma, Xiaodong Yan, Wenjie Dong et al.     Coverage rate, a critical variable for gridded forest area, has been neglected by previous studies in estimating the annual gross primary production (GPP) of global forest …             TiO2 Fibers Supported β-FeOOH Nanostructures as Efficient Visible Light Photocatalyst and Room Temperature Sensor ▶     Ting Zhu, Wei Li Ong, Liangliang Zhu et al.     Hierarchical heterostructures of beta-iron oxyhydroxide (β-FeOOH) nanostructures on electrospun TiO2 nanofibers were synthesized by a facile hydrothermal method. This synthesis …             Arctic cyclone water vapor isotopes support past sea ice retreat recorded in Greenland ice ▶     Eric S. Klein, J. E. Cherry, J. Young et al.     Rapid Arctic warming is associated with important water cycle changes: sea ice loss, increasing atmospheric humidity, permafrost thaw, and water-induced ecosystem changes. Un…             Complex Interactions Between the Macrophyte Acorus Calamus and Microbial Fuel Cells During Pyrene and Benzo[a]Pyrene Degradation in Sediments ▶     Zaisheng Yan, Helong Jiang, Haiyuan Cai et al.     This study investigated the interaction of the macrophyte Acorus calamus and sediment microbial fuel cells (SMFC) during the degradation of high molecular weight-polycyclic …             A Late Devonian Fertile Organ with Seed Plant Affinities from China ▶     Deming Wang, Le Liu, Yun Guo et al.     Seed plants underwent first major evolutionary radiation in the Late Devonian (Famennian), as evidenced by the numerous ovules described to date. However, the early pollen organs …             Spheroidal carbonaceous particles are a defining stratigraphic marker for the Anthropocene ▶     Graeme T. Swindles, Elizabeth Watson, T. Edward Turner et al.     There has been recent debate over stratigraphic markers used to demarcate the Anthropocene from the Holocene Epoch. However, many of the proposed markers are found only in …             Examination of metabolic responses to phosphorus limitation via proteomic analyses in the marine diatom Phaeodactylum tricornutum ▶     Tian-Ya Feng, Zhi-Kai Yang, Jian-Wei Zheng et al.     Phosphorus (P) is an essential macronutrient for the survival of marine phytoplankton. In the present study, phytoplankton response to phosphorus limitation was studied by …             Elucidating the Reaction Pathways in the Synthesis of Organolead Trihalide Perovskite for High-Performance Solar Cells ▶     Baohua Wang, King Young Wong, Xudong Xiao et al.     The past two years have witnessed unprecedentedly rapid development of organic–inorganic halide perovskite–based solar cells. The solution–processability and high efficiency make …             Fractal features of soil particle size distribution in newly formed wetlands in the Yellow River Delta ▶     Junbao Yu, Xiaofei Lv, Ma Bin et al.     The characteristic of particle size distribution (PSD) in the newly formed wetlands in coast has seldom been studied. We applied fractal-scaling theory in assessing soil particle …             Characterizing the size and shape of sea ice floes ▶     Marco Gherardi, Marco Cosentino Lagomarsino     Monitoring drift ice in the Arctic and Antarctic regions directly and by remote sensing is important for the study of climate, but a unified modeling framework is lacking. Hence, …               Open for Submissions A new open access, online-only, multidisciplinary research journal dedicated to publishing the most important scientific advances in the life sciences, physical sciences, and engineering fields that are facilitated by spaceflight and analogue platforms.
