Erosion exerts control on soil organic carbon (SOC) and both erosion SOC are affected by climate. To what extent temperature controls the coupling between these erosion–C interactions remains unclear. Using 137Cs inventories from catchments spanning different climates, we find that increasing decomposition rates with result in efficient replacement of laterally lost eroding areas but lower pres...

Abstract. Application of lake models coupled within earth-system prediction models, especially for predictions from days to weeks, requires accurate initialization temperatures. Commonly used methods initialize temperatures include interpolation global sea-surface temperature (SST) analyses inland lakes, daily satellite-based observations, or model-based reanalyses. However, each these have lim...

Throughout a typical Earth orbit satellite is constantly bombarded by radiation with trapped and solar protons being of particular concern as they gradually damage the focal plane devices throughout mission degrade their performance. To understand impact has on CCDs how it varies thermal history proton campaign been carried out using CCD280. The CCD irradiated at 153 K warmed to 188 in 5 increm...

Incubation temperature can have profound effects on growth and development of embryos and young birds. However, few studies have examined the role that cycling incubation temperature may play in phenotypic variation and whether these effects persist to adulthood. We incubated Japanese quail eggs at control temperatures (37.5°C), at low temperatures (36.0°C), and under a cyclical treatment that ...

The aim of the present study was to investigate effects of muscle fatigue on oxygen costs of ergometer cycling and slow component of pulmonary oxygen uptake (VO2) kinetics. Seven young men performed 100 drop jumps (drop height of 40 cm) with 20 s of rest after each jump. After the subsequent hour of rest, they cycled at 70, 105, 140 and 175 W, which corresponded to 29.6 ± 5.4, 39.4 ± 7.0, 50.8 ...

The interests and limits of the different methods and protocols of maximal (anaerobic) power (Pmax) assessment are reviewed: single all-out tests versus force-velocity tests, isokinetic ergometers versus friction-loaded ergometers, measure of Pmax during the acceleration phase or at peak velocity. The effects of training, athletic practice, diet and pharmacological substances upon the productio...

Soil respiration (RS, Soil CO2 efflux) is the second largest carbon (C) flux in global terrestrial ecosystems, and thus, plays an important role in global and regional C cycling; moreover, it acts as a feedback mechanism between C cycling and global climate change. RS is highly responsive to temperature and moisture, factors that are closely related to climate warming and changes in precipitati...
