Decadal predictability of late winter precipitation in western Europe through an ocean–jet stream connection

Decadal averages of March precipitation in western Europe can be predicted by exploiting links with the jet stream and ocean along with skilful predictions of sea surface temperatures, according to an analysis of observations and reanalysis products.

Agricultural fertilization significantly enhances amplitude of land-atmosphere CO₂ exchange

Earth system model simulations illustrate that agricultural nitrogen fertilization significantly enhances the amplitude of land-atmosphere CO₂ exchange, with a magnitude comparable to that of CO₂ fertilization.

Limiting motorboat noise on coral reefs boosts fish reproductive success

Using a season-long field manipulation with an established model fish system on the Great Barrier Reef, this study demonstrates that limiting motorboat activity on reefs leads to faster growth and survival of more fish offspring compared to reefs experiencing busy motorboat traffic. Noise mitigation and abatement could therefore present a valuable opportunity for enhancing ecosystem resilience.

Causes of change in Northern Hemisphere winter meridional winds and regional hydroclimate

Improved mechanistic understanding of greenhouse gas-induced change in Northern Hemisphere atmospheric circulation reveals a tendency of models to overestimate future mid-winter rainfall along the North American west coast.

Hypoxia shapes the immune landscape in lung injury and promotes the persistence of inflammation

Mirchandani and colleagues show that tissue hypoxia alters the number and phenotype of circulating monocytes and their differentiation into lung macrophages, with important implications for the resolution of inflammation in the lung.

Acoustic enrichment can enhance fish community development on degraded coral reef habitat

Healthy coral reefs have an acoustic signature known to be attractive to coral and fish larvae during settlement. Here the authors use playback experiments in the field to show that healthy reef sounds can increase recruitment of juvenile fishes to degraded coral reef habitat, suggesting that acoustic playback could be used as a reef management strategy.

Hot extremes have become drier in the United States Southwest

Global humidity increases with warming, but the United States Southwest has shown summer decreases since 1950, with the largest declines on hot days attributed to decreased soil moisture, not atmospheric moisture transport. Projections are uncertain due to model spread in precipitation trends.
