Tradeoffs Between Aboveground and Soil Carbon Accumulation Following Forestation by Schug, Jennifer Lin

“…One prevalent climate change mitigation strategy is tree planting, as trees sequester large amounts of carbon in their aboveground biomass. However, there is emerging evidence that under some conditions, soil carbon decreases following forestation, offsetting the carbon accumulated aboveground and rendering carbon sequestration efforts ineffective. …”

Using human movement data to identify potential areas of Zika transmission : case study of the largest Zika cluster in Singapore by Rajarethinam, Jayanthi, Ong, Janet, Lim, Shi-Hui, Tay, Yu-Heng, Bounliphone, Wacha, Chong, Chee-Seng, Yap, Grace, Ng, Lee-Ching

“…An origin–destination model was developed based on the movement of three groups of individuals: (i) construction workers, (ii) residents and (iii) visitors out of the cluster locality to other parts of the island. The odds ratio of ZIKV cases in a hexagon visited by an individual from the cluster, independent of the group of individuals, is 3.20 (95% CI: 2.65–3.87, p-value < 0.05), reflecting a higher count of ZIKV cases when there is a movement into a hexagon from the cluster locality. …”
