Woodland planting is gaining momentum as a potential method of natural flood management (NFM), due to its ability break up soil and increase infiltration water storage. In this study, 2.2 km2 area in Warwickshire, England, planted with woodland every year from 2006 2012, was sampled using Mini Disk infiltrometer (MDI). Infiltration measurements were taken 10 200 cm away the trees, November 2019...

The cellular mechanisms underlying embryonic motility were investigated using intracellular recording from motoneurons and electrotonic recording from muscle nerves during motor activity generated by an isolated spinal cord preparation of 12- to 15-d-old chick embryos. DC-coupled recordings from sartorius (a flexor) and femorotibialis (an extensor) muscle nerves revealed that both sets of moton...

Biological rates in small animals are usually higher than those in large animals, yet the maximal rate of action potential (spike) generation in sensory neurons encoding rate functions is similar in all animals, due to the conserved genetics of voltage-gated ion channels. Therefore, sensory signals that vary at rates approaching maximal spike generation rate, as might occur in animals of dimini...
