Article Synopsis
- Wildfire regimes are altering, raising concerns for aquatic ecosystems and fish species, as predicting fish responses can be complex due to multiple wildfire impacts.
- Whole-ecosystem approaches like food web modeling can help understand these interactions, showing how different wildfire severities affect aquatic life dynamics in streams.
- Simulations reveal that wildfires can have varying effects on periphyton, invertebrates, and fish biomass, influenced by fire severity and environmental changes, indicating a need to consider context when assessing wildfire impacts on aquatic ecosystems.
A substantial fraction of nitrogen (N) fertilizer applied in agricultural systems is not incorporated into crops and moves below the rooting zone as nitrate (NO ). Understanding mechanisms for soil N retention below the rooting zone and leaching to groundwater is essential for our ability to track the fate of added N. We used dual stable isotopes of nitrate ( N-NO and O-NO ) and water ( O-HO and H-HO) to understand the mechanisms driving nitrate leaching at three depths (0.

A tandem nitrile hydration/cyclization procedure was developed to access 1,6-naphthyridine-5,7-diones under mild conditions. Subsequently, we have found that ditriflation of these intermediates provides 1,6-naphthyridine-5,7-ditriflates which are bench-stable but highly reactive intermediates that can be engaged in one-pot difunctionalization reactions leading to diverse drug-like products in rapid fashion.
