Native diversity buffers against severity of non-native tree invasions

Analysis combining multiple global tree databases reveals that whether a ___location is invaded by non-native tree species depends on anthropogenic factors, but the severity of the invasion depends on the native species diversity.

The global distribution and drivers of wood density and their impact on forest carbon stocks

Wood density is an important plant trait. Data from 1.1 million forest inventory plots and 10,703 tree species show a latitudinal gradient in wood density, with temperature and soil moisture explaining variation at the global scale and disturbance also having a role at the local level.

Al₂O₃/Al hybrid nanolaminates with superior toughness, strength and ductility

Alumina layers below 100 nm thickness stacked with aluminum interlayers combine exceptional properties including high toughness, strength and ductility. The origin of this optimal tryptic is unraveled by advanced nanomechanics and in-situ TEM.

Integrated global assessment of the natural forest carbon potential

Analysis of ground-sourced and satellite-derived models reveals a global forest carbon potential of 226 Gt outside agricultural and urban lands, with a difference of only 12% across these modelling approaches.

Co-limitation towards lower latitudes shapes global forest diversity gradients

Examining drivers of the latitudinal biodiversity gradient in a global database of local tree species richness, the authors show that co-limitation by multiple environmental and anthropogenic factors causes steeper increases in richness with latitude in tropical versus temperate and boreal zones.

Atomically engineered interfaces yield extraordinary electrostriction

A system consisting of alternating thin films of two dielectrics is used to produce greatly enhanced electrostriction derived from coherent strain imparted by interfacial lattice discontinuity.

Atomic electric fields revealed by a quantum mechanical approach to electron picodiffraction

Advances in electron microscopy are enabling ever smaller features to be probed, with the measurement of atomic electric fields standing as a major challenge. Towards that aim, Müller et al.present a simplified theoretical approach for enhancing the resolution in differential phase contrast microscopy.

Signatures of enhanced out-of-plane polarization in asymmetric BaTiO₃ superlattices integrated on silicon

Integrating multifunctional oxides on silicon is highly desirable. Here, the authors present asymmetric BaTiO3 superlattices on silicon exhibiting enhanced out-of-plane polarization by harnessing the interfacial strain and broken inversion symmetry.

Asymmetry and non-dispersivity in the Aharonov-Bohm effect

The dispersionless nature of Aharonov-Bohm effect is still debated. Here, the authors show an asymmetry in the diffraction pattern of an electron beam induced and controlled by an inaccessible magnetic flux, which means electrons behave “as if” an Aharonov-Bohm “force” was present.

The global biogeography of tree leaf form and habit

Integrating inventory data with machine learning models reveals the global composition of tree types—needle-leaved evergreen individuals dominate, followed by broadleaved evergreen and deciduous trees—and climate change risks.

Charge-ordering transition in iron oxide Fe₄O₅ involving competing dimer and trimer formation

Phase transitions in materials are intriguing, and can also be of practical importance. Below ∼150 K, mixed-valent iron oxide Fe₄O₅ has now been shown to undergo an unusual charge-ordering phase transition that involves the competing formation of iron dimers and trimers, and leads to a significant increase in electrical resistivity.

Evaluating the direct effect of vaccination and non-pharmaceutical interventions during the COVID-19 pandemic in Europe

Fajgenblat et. al utilize almost three years of COVID-19 data to model consequences of interventions across Europe. They find that both non-pharmaceutical interventions and vaccination impact daily case rates, with the strongest effect at a lag of 14 days post-implementation.
