Recent research has dramatically advanced our understanding of soil organic matter chemistry and the role of N in some organic matter transformations, but the effects of N deposition on soil C dynamics remain difficult to anticipate. We examined soil organic matter chemistry and enzyme kinetics in three size fractions ([250 lm, 63–250 lm, and \63 lm) following 6 years of simulated atmospheric N...

Microcapsules of a waterborne core material were prepared using primer. The microcapsules the added to primer explore effects different core–shell ratios and mass fractions on property coating wooden surface. results show that as fraction increased, chromatic aberration increased by degrees, glossiness decreased gradually, hardness whilst—except for with 0.50:1 microcapsules—the adhesion gradua...

Projections of vegetation distribution that incorporate the transient responses of vegetation to climate change are likely to be more efficacious than those that assume an equilibrium between climate and vegetation. We examine the non-equilibrium dynamics of a temperate forest region under historic and projected future climate change using the dynamic ecosystem model LPJ-GUESS. We parameterized...

A gap-typed forest dynamic model KOPIDE was used to assess the dynamic responses of a mixed broadleaved-Korean pine forest stand to climate change in northeastem China. The GFDL climate change scenario was applied to derive the changes in environmental variables, such as 10 ~ based DEGD and PET~P, which were used to implement the model. The simulation result suggests that the climate change wou...

The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of various structural support configurations in preventing topical compression in skyscraper buildings. To conduct this investigation, the following four support configurations were tested: a single/double vertical support system, a single diagonal/single vertical system, a double cross diagonal, and a double diagonal/double vertical config...

Whereas the impacts of N deposition on forest ecosystems have been well studied in remote areas predominantly forested landscapes, we know relatively less about forests heavily human-modified landscapes. We influence adjacent land use, local point sources, and woodlot stand structure subcanopy transport enrichment via throughfall three fragments southern Lower Michigan, USA. found that one site...
