Lignin is a complex polymer that is embedded in plant cell walls to provide physical support and water protection. For these reasons, the production of lignin is closely linked with plant adaptation to terrestrial regions. In response to developmental cues and external environmental conditions, plants use an elaborate regulatory network to determine the timing and location of lignin biosynthesis. In this review, we summarize the canonical lignin biosynthetic pathway and transcriptional regula…

Journal: Earth system science data · DOI: 10.5194/essd-15-1597-2023 · Citations: 277

Matched topics: earth system model

Abstract. Ice losses from the Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets have accelerated since the 1990s, accounting for a significant increase in the global mean sea level. Here, we present a new 29-year record of ice sheet mass balance from 1992 to 2020 from the Ice Sheet Mass Balance Inter-comparison Exercise (IMBIE). We compare and combine 50 independent estimates of ice sheet mass balance derived from satellite observations of temporal changes in ice sheet flow, in ice sheet volume, and in Eart…

Water quality comprehensive evaluation is an essential technical measure for water environment management and treatment. The previous research methods were often insufficient for studying black-sticking water bodies’ formation and transformation mechanisms. In view of this, the single pollution index method and the comprehensive water quality identification index method (Iwq) were used to evaluate the pollution characteristics of rivers; the main pollution factors and sources of the watershed…


Characteristics of the 1979–2020 Antarctic firn layer simulated with IMAU-FDM v1.2A

Authors: Sanne Veldhuijsen, Willem Jan van de Berg, Max Brils, Peter Kuipers Munneke, M. R. van den Broeke

Abstract. Firn simulations are essential for understanding Antarctic ice sheet mass change, as they enable us to convert satellite altimetry observed volume changes to mass changes and column thickness to ice thickness and to quantify the meltwater buffering capacity of firn. Here, we present and evaluate a simulation of the contemporary Antarctic firn layer using the updated semi-empirical IMAU Firn Densification Model (IMAU-FDM) for the period 1979–2020. We have improved previous fresh-snow…
