Importance of Terrain and Climate for Predicting Soil Organic Carbon Is Highly Variable across Local to Continental Scales.

Soil organic carbon (SOC) plays a vital role in global carbon cycling and sequestration, underpinning the need for a comprehensive understanding of its distribution and controls. This study explores the importance of various covariates on SOC spatial distribution at both local (up to 1.25 km) and continental (USA) scales using a deep learning approach.

Response of metal-coordination-based polyelectrolyte complex micelles to added ligands and metals.

Polyelectrolyte complex based micelles have attracted significant attention due to their potential regarding bio-applications. Although the morphology and functions have been studied extensively, dynamic properties, particularly component exchange with other surrounding molecules, have remained elusive to date. Here, we show how micelles based on metal-ligand coordination complex coacervate-core micelles (M-C3Ms) respond to addition of extra ligand and metal ions.
