"Transforming Science with Large Language Models: A Survey on AI-assisted Scientific Discovery, Experimentation, Content Generation, and Evaluation"
Wonderful paper I found from my IArxiv.org feed. It gives nice comparison between features of the leading AI search engines.

The ARID project scoped a possible new #dryland focused project area for NASA. Emerging high resolution spatial-temporal satellite and other data products provides new prospectives on the pulse-y hydrology that governs drylands. Drylands make up a large socially-important biome and right holder #engagement needs to be prioritized to provide #ActionableScience. Feldman etal 2024 https://doi.org/10.1029/2024EF004811 #SciLit
Training PhD students often follows ‘magician’s apprentice’ approach where advisors taking hands-on/off approach but rarely have a more nuanced language to discuss the advising journey. Wagner etal 2017 https://www.facetsjournal.com/doi/10.1139/facets-2015-0013 introduces stages 1) enthusiastic beginner, 2) discouraged learner, 3) cautious performer, and 4) self-reliant achiever. They frame roles and strategies for each stage for both the mentor and mentee and provide worksheets in their SI. #HowToScience #Mentoring #SciLit
Agroecosystem is a promising shift in how we feed ourselves that has been under developed outside of academia for a number of political and economic reasons. Scientists, food security advocates, and social justice organizations need to rethink how we can leverage an integrated understanding of social and ecological systems to feed ourselves in the future. (Ong etal 2024 https://doi.org/10.1038/s43016-024-01006-w)

New study: "Non-selective databases (#Dimensions, #OpenAlex, #Scilit, and #TheLens) index a greater amount of retracted literature than do databases that rely their indexation on venue selection (#PubMed, #Scopus, and #WoS)…The high coverage of OpenAlex and Scilit could be explained by the inaccurate labeling of retracted documents in #Scopus, Dimensions, and The Lens."

Flat teams drive scientific innovation, moving beyond team size Xu etal 2022 (https://www.pnas.org/doi/pdf/10.1073/pnas.2200927119) looked at reported contribution, contextual authorship records, and author ordering to disentangle + quantify relative leadership contributions. Tall teams maximize immediate benefits to senior leads, flat teams were more innovative. #TeamScience #SciLit
Socio-environmental design process for a just climate transition seeking to be community centered and adaptive rather the proscriptive, this approach blends complexity theory with social justice.

Simplified land carbon model is consistent with global data products and allows for unique structural and parameter uncertainty analysis. Smith et al 2013 https://bg.copernicus.org/articles/10/583/2013/ #LandCarbon #GlobalModel #ModelingMethod #SciLit
Greenhouse gas drawdown potential for the continental United States under shifting agricultural practices could contribute roughly ~15% reduction in the carbon emissions of agricultural industry in the US. There are a large number of assumptions and a more detailed uncertainty analysis is needed. Moore etal 2022 https://doi.org/10.2489/jswc.2023.00132

Curious about the spatial distribution of soil organic carbon across the United States? Of course you are! Wang etall 2024 https://agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/2023JG007702 used a combination clustering and random forest approach to upscale point estimates of soil carbon stocks. #SoilCarbon #Upscale #SciLit

Geostatistics in soils are often ignored with significant opportunities for misinterpretation of carbon storage resulting from interventions. Slessarev etal 2023 https://doi.org/10.1111/gcb.16491 takes us back to stats class, highlighting regression to the mean effects and normalization artifacts. #SoilCarbon #SoilPractices #agricultural #CitationMine #Geostatistics #SciLit
Yes, microbial ecology in soils is complicated. Sokol etal 2022 https://doi.org/10.1038/s41579-022-00695-z has the citations to prove it. #SoilBiogeochemistry #SoilBiodiversity #MicrobialEcology #SciLit
Soils of old growth forests are NOT necessarily at steady state. Gaines in soil organic carbon stocks (~30%) were are seen in one southern China preserve from 1979 to 2003. Zhou etal 2006 https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.1130168 #SoilCarbon #SoilPractices #SoilSampleDesign #SciLit
Deep soils respire only 10% of total CO2 (>30cm) despite holding most of the SOC (~50%). Fresh litter also tends to stay on top and not make it's way deeper (13C tagged litter addition). Wordell-Dietrich etal 2020 https://doi.org/10.5194/bg-17-6341-2020 used 2m deep and 1.6m diameter soil observatories to continuously monitor soils at 10, 30, 50, 90 and 150 cm; measuring CO2, SOC, 13C (tagged surface litter addition), and 14C. #SoilDataSource #SoilCarbon #DeepCarbon #SciLit
Instantaneous incubation responses change depending on prior temperature. This change does not correspond to biomass size and is larger in Arctic/boreal soils and smaller in agricultural soils. One of my personal favorite incubation studies, this is a clever use of a single cooling-warming incubation cycle over the course of several months.

Models are the bridge between theory and data. With new omics and other tools being increasing applied to soil carbon cycling, how well are our models making this connection? Schimel 2023 https://doi.org/10.1016/j.soilbio.2023.108948 concludes that microbial explicit models are still, very much, in the development phase and outlines why this is a hard problem. #SoilCarbonModel #MicrobialEcology #SoilBGC #SoilCarbonCycling #ReviewArticle #SciLit
Reanalysis of linear relationship between soil water content and heterotrophic respiration still holds 25 years later. The original highly cited paper shows that you can new quite anticipate how your work will be used in the future and data-regret from not archiving your studies (published or not) can be strong.
