Forest carbon stocks and sinks (CSSs) have been widely estimated using climate classification tables and linear regression (LR) models with common independent variables (IVs) such as the average diameter at breast height (DBH) of stems and root shoot ratio. However, this approach is relatively ineffective when the explanatory power of IVs is lower than that of unobservable variables. Various environmental and anthropogenic factors affect target variables that cause the correlation between them to be chaotic.

- The introduction of hard x-ray free electron lasers (XFELs) allows scientists to explore the dynamics of condensed matter systems with unprecedented time resolution.
- Despite concerns about sample damage and the variability of the XFEL beam, researchers successfully measured the relaxation dynamics of gold nanoparticles in polymer melts using X-ray photon correlation spectroscopy (XPCS).
- Findings indicate that the level of X-ray induced damage and heating in soft materials is lower than previously anticipated, enabling effective studies at slower time scales.
