Warming Promotes Nitrogen and Carbon Cycles in Global Grassland.

Grasslands, standing as one of Earth's major ecosystems, offer numerous services vital to human well-being. The productivity of grasslands hinges on the availability of soil reactive nitrogen, which is highly sensitive to climatic variations. Using an extensive synthesis of 1242 experimental observations, reinforced by multiple models, we show that warming as a single driver of climate change intensifies nitrogen dynamics in grasslands.

Enhanced carrier mobility in strain-engineered PdAs monolayer boosted by suppressing interband scattering.

Strain engineering is an effective method to modulate the electronic properties of two-dimensional materials. In this study, we theoretically studied the carrier mobility of the PdAs monolayer under different biaxial tensile strains based on the state-of-the-art electron-phonon coupling theory. We observe that the carrier mobility is largely enhanced for both n-type and p-type PdAs monolayers.
