TL;DR: Leaf turnover rates based on leaf fall estimates and litter standing crop were 10- to 20-fold higher than estimated from rates of leaf degradation, indicating the significant effect of leaf transport by tides and crabs.
Abstract: The hypothesis that rates of litter turnover in mangroves are controlled by local geophysical processes such as tides has been studied at sites with mostly small tides ( 3 m) river-dominated tropical estuary in Ecuador (2.5°S latitude). There were statistical effects of site and depth on soil salinities, but all mean salinities were M2 > M1) and season (rainy > dry) effects on leaf degradation, and both effects were related to differences in the initial nitrogen content of senescent leaves. Mean leaf litter standing crop among the sites ranged from 1.53 to 9.18 g m−2, but amounts were strongly seasonal with peak values during September in both years of our study (no significant year effect) at all three sites. Leaf turnover rates based on leaf fall estimates and litter standing crop were 10- to 20-fold higher than estimated from rates of leaf degradation, indicating the significant effect of leaf transport by tides and crabs. Field experiments demonstrated that the mangrove crab can remove daily additions of leaf material within 1 h at all three sites, except during August–October, when the crab is inactive on the forest floor. Even though there is seasonally elevated leaf accumulation on the forest floor during this time, leaf turnover rates are much higher than expected based on leaf degradation, demonstrating the importance of tidal export. This is the first description of how crabs influence litter dynamics in the New World tropics, and results are similar to higher rates of crab transport of leaf litter in the Old World tropics. Even in riverine mangroves with high geophysical energies, patterns of litter dynamics can be influenced by ecological processes such as crab transport.

TL;DR: In this article, an investigation of the interrelationship of cycling performance, solution structure, and electrode surface film structure has been conducted for electrolytes composed of different concentrations of LiPF6 in propylene carbonate (PC) with a binder-free (BF) graphite electrode.
Abstract: An investigation of the interrelationship of cycling performance, solution structure, and electrode surface film structure has been conducted for electrolytes composed of different concentrations of LiPF6 in propylene carbonate (PC) with a binder-free (BF) graphite electrode. Varying the concentration of LiPF6 changes the solution structure, altering the predominant mechanism of electrolyte reduction at the electrode interface. The change in mechanism results in a change in the structure of the solid electrolyte interface (SEI) and the reversible cycling of the cell. At low concentrations of LiPF6 in PC (1.2 M), electrochemical cycling and cyclic voltammetry (CV) of BF graphite electrodes reveal continuous electrolyte reduction and no lithiation/delithiation of the graphite. The solution structure is dominated by solvent-separated ion pairs (Li+(PC)4//PF6–), and the primary reduction product of the electrolyte is lithium propylene dicarbonate (LPDC). At high concentrations of LiPF6 in PC (3.0–3.5 M), elec...

TL;DR: It is shown that under certain conditions the performance of a suboptimal detector may be improved by adding noise to the received data.
Abstract: It is shown that under certain conditions the performance of a suboptimal detector may be improved by adding noise to the received data. The reasons for this counterintuitive result are explained and a computer simulation example given.
