Summary: The establishment of a Moon-based Earth Radiation Observatory (MERO) aims to improve current Earth radiation budget observations. This study proposes a modified methodology to improve the quantification quality of pixel-scale entrance pupil irradiance (EPI) and predicts the variability of EPI over an 18.6-year period in the future.

Summary: ForestGEO is a network of scientists and long-term forest dynamics plots that aims to advance understanding of forest diversity and dynamics, as well as strengthen global capacity for forest science research. With large-scale plot dimensions, comprehensive censusing, and investigation of various biotic and abiotic drivers, ForestGEO provides a holistic view of forest functioning. Through extensive research, ForestGEO has made significant contributions in areas such as species coexistence and diversity, and ecosystem functioning, while also highlighting the need for further research to predict the impacts of climate change and other stressors on forest diversity and function.

Summary: EOT20 is the latest empirical ocean tide model derived using residual tidal analysis of satellite altimetry, showing significant improvements compared to the previous global model EOT11a, particularly in the coastal and shelf regions. The model provides amplitudes and phases of 17 tidal constituents on a global grid based on analysis of multiple satellite missions and includes recent data and missions, updated tidal models, improved coastal representation, and validation with tide gauges and ocean bottom pressure data.

Summary: Valencian citriculture mainly cultivates seedless or self-incompatible varieties for fresh production. However, under certain circumstances, some varieties can induce seed formation in other varieties through cross-pollination. Geostatistical models are utilized to estimate cross-pollination risk of plots, taking into account the varieties present, the number of plants, and their distance.

Summary: This study provides a comprehensive review of global land subsidence (LS) cases, revealing that LS predominantly occurs in large metropolitan cities and coastal plain and river delta regions. Human-induced factors, particularly groundwater extraction, play a significant role in LS occurrences, showing strong correlations with groundwater withdrawal and groundwater level decline.

Summary: Directional drilling in the oil fields relies on real-time measurements of the natural magnetic field. Mitigating the effects of external sources on the measurements is commonly done by correcting them using data from nearby land-based magnetic observatories. This paper shows that there are significant differences between the sea level and seabed magnetic fields and proposes a numerical scheme to obtain reliable seabed signals using land-based data and modeling results.

Summary: The close proximity of the HAWC observatory to the largest volcano in Mexico allows for a search of neutrino-induced charged leptons. The volcano serves as an excellent shield against cosmic ray background, with a slant depth of over 8 km of rock. The study presents the search method and background suppression technique for detecting Earth-skimming neutrinos with HAWC, as well as a model for the remaining background generated by scattered muons.

Summary: Research on the nitrogen cycle has shown that the production of reactive nitrogen globally exceeds the natural ecosystem's capacity for removal through denitrification, leading to negative impacts on the environment and human health. Wetland ecosystems play a significant role in denitrification, but uncertainties remain in quantifying the denitrification capacity of natural wetlands globally.

Summary: Building global research partnerships involves practical challenges such as communication and equitable relationships. The existing literature often overlooks the practicalities of the research itself and incorrectly assumes cultural neutrality in research methods. Addressing these issues is crucial for advancing global health initiatives.

Summary: This study presents the monitoring results of a superconducting gravimeter and tiltmeters at the Conrad Observatory in Austria, revealing changes in gravity and deformation at different time scales. Short-term and long-term climate variations are found to cause changes in both tilt and gravity, with different physical mechanisms underlying these variations.

Summary: The study proposed a simulation method to evaluate the effects of spatial resolution and sampling scheme on the measurement error of a Moon-Based Earth Radiation Observatory (MERO) system. Results showed that spatial resolution had a linear impact on the error, while a specific temporal sampling scheme could reduce the error, which is crucial for accurate measurements by the MERO system.
