TL;DR: The results suggest that harnessing swarms of microorganisms exhibiting magneto-aerotactic behaviour can significantly improve the therapeutic index of various nanocarriers in tumour hypoxic regions.

TL;DR: The results showed a significant sugar maple growth rate reduction since 1960 on acid soils, which can be attributed, at least partially, to soil acidification and acid deposition levels.

TL;DR: Drought-induced reductions in tree growth were greatest when the droughts occurred during early- season peaks in radial growth, especially for trees growing in the warmest, driest regions, and it is found that future increases in early-season PET may exacerbate these effects, and potentially offset gains in C uptake and storage in ENA owing to other global change factors.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used the quantitative biogeochemical model PnET-BGC to test assumptions about the direct and indirect effects of climate change on a northern hardwood forest ecosystem.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used the quantitative biogeochemical model PnET-BGC to test assumptions about the direct and indirect effects of climate change on a northern hardwood forest ecosystem, showing an overall increase in net primary production due to a lon- ger growing season, an increase in NO3 - leaching due to large increases in net mineralization and nitrification, and slight de- clines in mineral weathering due to reduction in soil moisture.
