TL;DR: In this paper, the authors focus on temperate zone, commercial, agricultural systems in North America, where windbreaks contribute to both producer profitability and environmental quality by increasing crop production while simultaneously reducing the level of off-farm inputs.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors simulated spatial-temporal patterns of birth and death rates and migration across a species' range in different seasons, showing that the multiple equilibria of metapopulations across species' ranges could be easily broken following climatic changes or physical disturbances either local or regional.

TL;DR: Stable leaf diffusion resistances indicated that the impairment of photosynthesis did not involve the simple limitation of CO(2) diffusion into the leaf, and the ability of ascorbate-reduced 2,6-dichlorophenolindophenol to restore much of the electron transport capacity of the UV-B-irradiated plant material suggested that inhibition by this radiation was more closely associated with Photosystem II than with photosystem I.

TL;DR: The authors predicts future climate conditions for the US Midwest include longer growing seasons that could potentially increase crop yields but also increase heat waves, floods, droughts, and insect and weed issues that may then adversely impact production.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the role of pressure fluctuations produced by fluctuations in ambient wind on the efflux of CO 2 at the soil surface and found that pressure fluctuations penetrate to 50 cm in the soil with little attenuation, thereby providing a mechanism for bulk transport of trace gases throughout the porous medium.
