TL;DR: It is shown that soil nitrite can release HONO and explain the reported strength and diurnal variation of the missing source, and agricultural activities and land-use changes may strongly influence the oxidizing capacity of the atmosphere.

TL;DR: It is shown that ammonia-oxidizing bacteria can directly release HONO in quantities larger than expected from the acid-base and Henry’s law equilibria of the aqueous phase in soil, which constitutes an additional loss term for fixed nitrogen in soils and a source for reactive nitrogen in the atmosphere.

TL;DR: It is shown that biological soil crusts (biocrusts) are emitters of nitric oxide (NO) and nitrous acid (HONO), and their impacts should be further quantified and included in regional and global models of air chemistry, biogeochemistry, and climate.

TL;DR: Alpha rhythms have been elicited in one of a pair of identical twins as a result of evoking these rhythms in a conventional manner solely in the other.

TL;DR: Spruce trees have a conservative allocation strategy under source limitation: growth and respiration can be downregulated to maintain 'operational' concentrations of NSC while investing newly-assimilated C into future survival by producing SM.
