Combining Observations and Models: A Review of the CARDAMOM Framework for Data-Constrained Terrestrial Ecosystem Modeling.

The rapid increase in the volume and variety of terrestrial biosphere observations (i.e., remote sensing data and in situ measurements) offers a unique opportunity to derive ecological insights, refine process-based models, and improve forecasting for decision support.

Dual controls of vapour pressure deficit and soil moisture on photosynthesis in a restored temperate bog.

Despite only covering ~3 % of the land mass, peatlands store more carbon (C) per unit area than any other ecosystem. This is due to the discrepancy between C fixed by the plants (Gross primary productivity (GPP)) and decomposition. However, this C is vulnerable to frequent, severe droughts and changes in the peatland microclimate.

Greening of a boreal rich fen driven by CO fertilisation.

Boreal peatlands store vast amounts of soil organic carbon (C) owing to the imbalance between productivity and decay rates. In the recent decades, this carbon stock has been exposed to a warming climate. During the past decade alone, the Arctic has warmed by ∼ 0.

Synergistic effects of inhaled aztreonam plus tobramycin on hypermutable cystic fibrosis Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates in a dynamic biofilm model evaluated by mechanism-based modelling and whole genome sequencing.

Objective: Hypermutable Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains are highly prevalent in chronic lung infections of patients with cystic fibrosis (CF). Acute exacerbations of these infections have limited treatment options. This study aimed to investigate inhaled aztreonam and tobramycin against clinical hypermutable P.

Pathogenomic analysis and characterization of strains recovered from human infections.

is an upper respiratory tract commensal in several mammal and bird species but can also cause severe disease in humans and in production animals such as poultry, cattle, and pigs. In this study, we performed whole-genome sequencing of isolates recovered from a range of human infections, from the mouths of cats, and from wounds on dogs. Together with publicly available genome sequences, we performed phylogenetic and comparative genomic analyses.
