The inflection point hypothesis: The relationship between the temperature dependence of enzyme-catalyzed reaction rates and microbial growth rates.
(2020)The temperature dependence of biological rates at different scales (from individual enzymes to isolated organisms to ecosystem processes such as soil respiration and photosynthesis) is the subject of much historical and ... -
Macromolecular Rate Theory (MMRT) Provides a Thermodynamics Rationale to Underpin the Convergent Temperature Response in Plant Leaf Respiration
Temperature is a crucial factor in determining the rates of ecosystem processes, for example, leaf respiration (R) – the flux of plant respired CO₂ from leaves to the atmosphere. Generally, R increases exponentially with ... -
Municipal sewage sludge compost promotes Mangifera persiciforma tree growth with no risk of heavy metal contamination of soil
(2017)Application of sewage sludge compost (SSC) as a fertilizer on landscaping provides a potential way for the effective disposal of sludge. However, the response of landscape trees to SSC application and the impacts of heavy ... -
Summer dry-down modulates the isotopic composition of soil CO2 production in snow-dominated landscapes
(Public Library of Science, 2018)In mountainous landscapes, soil moisture is highly dynamic due to the effects of topography and the temporal variability imposed by seasonal precipitation, including rainfall and snow. Soil moisture is known to affect ... -
Urban outdoor water use and response to drought assessed through mobile energy balance and vegetation greenness measurements
(IOP Publishing Ltd, 2017-08-01)Urban vegetation provides many highly valued ecosystem services but also requires extensive urban water resources. Increasingly, cities are experiencing water limitations and managing outdoor urban water use is an important ...

Paddock scale nitrous oxide emissions from intensively grazed pasture: Quantification and mitigation
(The University of Waikato, 2021)Agricultural soils are the main contributor to global emissions of the potent greenhouse gas nitrous oxide (N₂O) to the atmosphere. Nitrous oxide can absorb and transform radiative energy emitted from the sun to earth into ...
