Data from: The role of nutritional impairment in carbon-water balance of silver fir drought-induced dieback
<p><span>Rear-edge populations at the xeric distribution limit of tree species are particularly vulnerable to forest dieback triggered by drought. This is the case of silver fir (Abies alba) forests located in the southwestern of Europe. While silver fir drought-induced dieback patterns have been previously explored, information on the role played by nutritional impairment is lacking despite its potential interactions with tree carbon-water balances. We performed a comparative analysis of radial growth, intrinsic water-use efficiency (iWUE), oxygen isotopes (δ<sup>18</sup>O) and nutrient concentrations in leaves of declining (DD) and non-declining (ND) trees in silver fir in four forests in the Spanish Pyrenees. We also evaluated the relationships among dieback predisposition, intraspecific trait variation (wood density and leaf traits) and rhizosphere soil physical – chemical properties. The onset of growth decline in DD trees occurred more than two decades ago, and they subsequently showed low growth resilience against droughts. The DD trees presented consistently lower foliar concentrations of nutrients such as P, K, Cu and Ni than ND trees. The strong effects of foliar nutrient status on growth resilience indices support the key role played by mineral nutrition in tree functioning and growth before, during and after drought. In contrast, variability in wood density and leaf morphological traits, as well as soil properties, showed weak relationships with tree nutritional status and drought performance. At the low elevation, warmer sites, DD trees showed stronger climate – growth relationships and lower δ<sup>18</sup>O than ND trees. The uncoupling between iWUE and δ<sup>18</sup>O, together with the positive correlations between P and K leaf concentrations and δ<sup>18</sup>O, point to deeper soil/bedrock water sources and vertical decoupling between nutrient and water uptake in DD trees. This study provides novel insights into the mechanisms driving silver fir dieback and highlights the need to incorporate tree nutrition into forest dieback studies.</span></p>
The developmental high-wire: Balancing resource investment in immunity and reproduction
<p>The strategic allocation of resources into immunity poses a unique challenge for individuals, where infection at different stages of development may result in unique trade-offs with concurrent physiological processes or future fitness-enhancing traits. Here, we experimentally induced an immune challenge in female <em>Gryllus firmus</em> crickets to test whether illness at discrete life stages differentially impacts fitness. We injected heat-killed <em>Serratia marcescens</em> bacteria into antepenultimate juveniles, penultimate juveniles, sexually-immature adults, and sexually-mature adults, and then measured body growth, instar duration, mating rate, viability of stored sperm, egg production, oviposition rate, and egg viability. Immune activation significantly impacted reproductive traits, where females that were immune-challenged as adults had decreased mating success and decreased egg viability compared to healthy individuals or females that were immune-challenged as juveniles. Although there was no effect of an immune challenge on the other traits measured, the stress of handling resulted in reduced mass gain and smaller adult body size in females from the juvenile treatments, and females in the adult treatments suffered from reduced viability of sperm stored within their spermatheca. In summary, we found that an immune challenge does have negative impacts on reproduction, but also that even minor acute stressors can have significant impacts on fitness-enhancing traits. These findings highlight that the factors affecting fitness can be complex and at times unpredictable, and that the consequences of illness are specific to when during an individual's life an immune-challenge is induced.</p>

Data from: Balanced spatial distribution of green areas creates healthier urban landscapes
<div> <span>The benefits of green infrastructure on human well-being in urban areas are already well established, with strong evidence of the positive effects of the amount and proximity to green areas. However, the understanding of how the spatial distribution and type of green areas affect health is still an open question. <br>Here, we explore how different spatial configurations of green and built-up areas, through a land sharing and sparing framework, and how different types of green areas affect cardiovascular and respiratory hospitalizations in São Paulo city, Brazil. <br>Sharing/sparing indicators were selected as the main explanatory factors in the control of all groups of diseases. Land sharing appeared as a favourable spatial condition to prevent cardiovascular hospitalization, while land sparing and arboreal vegetation were relevant to reduce hospitalization by lower respiratory diseases. <br>For upper respiratory diseases, forests seem to provide a disservice, once they were associated with increased rates of hospitalization by respiratory allergies causes.<br>Considering that hospitalization rates and severity of cardiovascular diseases are substantially higher than those of upper respiratory ones, dense vegetation tends to provide more services than disservices. The land sharing configuration, which is characterized by green areas spread throughout the urban network (in streets, gardens, small squares, or parks), should lead to higher exposure and use of the benefits of green areas, which may then explain the greater prevention of cardiovascular diseases. <br>These novel results indicate that a more balanced distribution of green areas across built-up areas creates healthier urban spaces, and thus can be used as an urban planning strategy to leverage the health benefits provided by green infrastructure. <br>Policy implications: </span><span><span>Aiming to reduce hospitalizations by cardiovascular and pulmonary causes, urban planning should promote the spreading of green areas across the cities, in order to increase daily contact with natural attributes, giving preference to distribution over total quantity of green in urban landscape.</span></span> </div>
Spatial variability and driving factors of ecosystem services balance at watershed scale in the Lancang River Valley, Southwest China
<p>Revealing the spatio-temporal change of the supply, demand and balance of ecosystem services (ES) associated with human activities and land use changes is of great significance for watershed ecosystem management. Taking the Lancang River Valley as a case, we explicitly studied the ES spatial characteristics using the land use/land cover (LULC) matrix model, Optimized Hot Spot Analysis and landscape pattern analysis. Further, we screened out the dominant explanatory variables which had significant influence on ES supply, demand and balance by means of Geographical Weighted Regression (GWR) method at pixel scale. The results showed that the ES demand intensity varied little throughout the watershed while the downstream ES supply capacity and balance value were greater than upstream. Meanwhile, the hotspots of ES supply and demand were mainly distributed in the south part but coldspots in the north part. Human activity factors integrating landscape pattern variables were verified to have negative impact on ES balance in general. Among them, the Largest Patch Index (LPI) had a negative influence of majority pixels while GDP, cultivated land ratio and Area Weighted Average Patch Fractal Dimension (AWAPFD) had positive effects on a few pixels. This study will provide scientific support for regional ecosystem service trade-off and regulation at multiple scales.</p>

Biocrust impacts on dryland soil water balance: A path towards the whole picture
<p><span>As a crucial living feature inhabiting the soil-atmosphere boundary, biocrusts play a vital role in liquid water or vapor transport through surface soil and thus have strong effects on soil water regimes. However, it remains unclear how biocrusts affect annual or multi-year soil water budgets through the regulation of evaporation outputs and NRW or infiltration inputs. Thus, we used automated microlysimeters to continually investigate the differences in evaporation and NRW rates between moss-dominated biocrusts and bare soil at 0−5 cm depth for two years. </span><span>The upper </span><span>30 cm of</span><span> soil moisture (θ) and water storage (<em>W</em>) of bare soil and biocrusts were also monitored.</span> <span>Our results showed that the daily evaporation rate (<em>E</em>) of biocrusts was 17% higher than bare soil. Especially after rainfall events, biocrusts had higher <em>E </em>and larger cumulative evaporation than bare soil. Besides, the daily NRW of biocrusts averaged 15% higher than bare soil over two years. </span><span>Furthermore, biocrusts increased θ by 11%−76% at 0−10 cm depth but decreased θ by 32%−56% at 20−30 cm depth in comparison to bare soil, and they subsequently decreased <em>W </em>by 20% at 0−30 cm depth.</span><span> Summarized annually, the NRW amount of biocrusts was 19% higher than bare soil</span><span>, but at the same time the cumulative evaporation of biocrusts was also 19% higher than bare soil. Finally, biocrusts resulted in more water loss at shallow depth through evaporation and lessened total <em>W </em>throughout 0−30 cm depth of soil. These findings demonstrate that although biocrusts input more NRW into surface soil, these water inputs partially offset their intensified evaporation. Given that all rainfall water infiltrates into the soil in our study system, our findings indicate that biocrusts may have an overall negative effect on soil water balance there, while at the same time increasing water storage and availability of the deeper soil underlying biocrusts.</span></p>

Arctic Glaciers Mass Balance from satellite gravimetry and DEM differencing
<p>This document describes the LEGOS-Magellium mass balance dataset for Arctic glacier regions based on satellite gravimetry and DEM (Digital Elevation Model) differencing. The total mass balance is evaluated for five regions of the 6th version of the Randolph Glacier Inventory namely the Arctic Canada North, Arctic Canada South, Iceland, Svalbard, and the Russian Arctic. The total mass balance of Arctic glaciers is evaluated mainly based on satellite gravimetry measurements. An ensemble approach updated by Blazquez et al. (2018) is adopted to assess uncertainties associated with the processing and post-processing of GRACE (Gravity Recovery And Climate Experiment) and GRACE-FO (GRACE-Follow On) data. A priori information from DEM differencing (Hugonnet et al., 2021) is used to reduce leakage errors associated with the mislocation of signal sources. Total mass changes expressed in Gt are estimated from April 2002 to September 2022 for five RGI regions. The uncertainty on total mass changes is provided with a confidence interval of 95%. The dataset is provided in the GlaMBIE CSV file format.</p> <p>References:</p> <ul> <li>Blazquez, A., Meyssignac, B., Lemoine, J., Berthier, E., Ribes, A., & Cazenave, A. (2018).

Kinesiophobia on Proprioception and Balance: Mediation by Pain, Mobility, and Psychological Wellbeing following THR
<p>The study analyzed the demographic and clinical characteristics of two groups: 50 total hip replacement (THR) patients and 50 asymptomatic elderly individuals. The THR group had a mean age of 68.43 years, slightly higher than the 67.83 years observed in the asymptomatic group. The THR group had a higher proportion of females (60%) compared to the asymptomatic group (55%). Body Mass Index (BMI) was slightly higher in the THR group, averaging 27.34 kg/m² versus 26.56 kg/m² in the asymptomatic group. The THR patients had experienced symptoms for an average of 12.66 months. Significant differences were observed between the groups in various clinical measures. The THR patients had substantially higher Kinesiophobia (TSK Score: 36.56 ± 5.27) and Pain Intensity (VAS Score: 6.23 ± 1.59) compared to the asymptomatic group (TSK Score: 19.85 ± 4.13, VAS Score: 1.05 ± 0.53). Functional mobility, measured by the Timed Up and Go (TUG) test, was poorer in the THR group (12.54 ± 2.09 seconds) than in the asymptomatic group (10.34 ± 1.54 seconds). Psychological well-being, as assessed by the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS), was also lower in the THR group (8.03 ± 3.23) compared to the asymptomatic group (4.34 ± 2.56).</p> <p>Further analysis using independent samples t-tests revealed significant differences between the groups across all measured characteristics, including Joint Position Sense (JPS) in hip flexion and abduction, and various directions of Limits of Stability (LoS). The THR group exhibited greater impairment in proprioception and LoS, with Cohen's d values indicating large effect sizes, particularly in kinesiophobia, proprioception, and LoS in the forward and right-forward directions. These findings highlight the profound impact of THR on patients' physical and psychological well-being, emphasizing the need for targeted rehabilitation interventions.</p>
