Ecosystem Water Availability in Juniper versus Sagebrush Snow-Dominated Rangelands
Abstract Western Juniper (Juniperus occidentalis Hook.) has greatly expanded in the past 150+ years and now dominates over 3.6 million ha of rangeland in the Intermountain Western United States. The impacts of juniper encroachment on critical...

The origin of high eccentricity planets: The dispersed planet formation regime for weakly magnetized disks
Abstract In the tandem planet formation regime, planets form at two distinct sites where solid particles are densely accumulated due to the on/off state of the magnetorotational instability (MRI). We found that tandem planet formation can reproduce...

Linear-response Description of the Series Resistance of Large-area Silicon Solar Cells: Resolving the Difference between Dark and Illuminated Behavior
Abstract Directly from luminescence images it can be shown that, for constant average injection (lumped dark current) and for not-too-large lateral voltage differences, besides the sign, the current flow direction doesn’t play any role for the...
