TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compared regional variation in litter mass-loss rates (first year) in pine forests to climate across a large, continental-scale area using 39 experimental sites spanning climatic regions from the subarctic to subtropical and Mediterranean: the latitudinal gradient ranged from 31 °N to 70 °N and may represent the largest geographical area that has been sampled and observed for the purpose of studying biogeochemical processes.

TL;DR: In this article, a method for manufacturing an optical device that converts a first distribution of an input radiation to a second distribution of output radiation is presented. But the method is limited to a single optical device.

TL;DR: The results confirm the importance of root structure for LP adaptation and highlight the need for a more detailed understanding of root architectural traits for phenotypic as well as marker-aided selection of more P-efficient crops.

TL;DR: An optical device for coupling the luminous output of a light-emitting diode (LED) to a predominantly spherical pattern comprises a transfer section that receives the LED's light within it and an ejector positioned adjacent the transfer section to receive light from the transfer area and spread the light generally spherically as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: Flapless immediate implant surgery produces a significant reduction in the vestibular biologic width and a minor reduction in buccal bone plate resorption in Beagle dogs.
