Summary: The study suggests that the Central Pacific flavor of El Nino may contribute to the aridity observed in the highland Titicaca Basin of the South Central Andes during the Medieval Climate Anomaly. There is an urgent need for a longer record of CP presence and frequency to better understand this phenomenon.

Summary: The recruitment of aspen saplings increased as elk browsing decreased after the reintroduction of wolves in Yellowstone National Park in 1995-96. The results support the idea of a trophic cascade benefiting aspen, countering claims that recent aspen recovery has been exaggerated.

Summary: This comment serves as a reminder to be cautious of using ready-made program packages uncritically and estimating trends in serially correlated time series. It specifically addresses the recent publication by Lischeid et al. regarding lake-level trends in Germany.

Summary: The errors in the surface wave Green's tensor shown by Malkoti et al. have been acknowledged, as pointed out in the comment by Haney and Nakahara. The H/V amplitude ratio calculations were recomputed using expressions for Love and Rayleigh wave Green's tensors valid in the near-field provided by Haney and Nakahara. The differences due to the use of corrected Green's tensors only appear when the receivers are placed close to the edges of the modeling domain.

Summary: Gajewski offers criticisms on the study by Griffiths et al. (2017), especially regarding the classification scheme of microclimates used and the value of observational evidence. The study sites were visited multiple times via aerial surveys and ground observations, supporting the microclimate classification scheme. Gajewski's claims on climate, catchment characteristics, and ice melting properties were refuted by veteran Arctic scientists with long-term field experience.

Summary: Luna et al. (2022) concluded that the environment plays a role in explaining specialisation in open plant-pollinator networks. However, when reproducing their study, we found that network size alone explains most of the variation in specialisation metrics. Thus, we question whether empirical network specialisation is driven by the environment.

Summary: The authors' interpretation of X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) Ce3d spectra neglects the electronic structure of cerium ions and spin-orbit interaction of the Ce3d subshell, resulting in inaccurate account of the cerium chemistry of their materials.

Summary: The commentary critically analyzes the framework proposed by Weber et al. (2019) for parameterizing soil hydraulic properties, highlighting inconsistencies in their formulation, especially in terms of the number of parameters and the approach to parameterize the water retention curve and noncapillary hydraulic conductivity.

Summary: The paper discussed a study published in Science of the Total Environment, which investigated the lead concentration and bioaccumulation factor of insects from Sichuan, China. By re-measuring the biomass of dung beetles, significant differences were found compared to the original study, highlighting the importance of experimental design based on actual food chains and entomological knowledge. Collaboration with entomologists is recommended for future studies on insect-environment interactions to ensure accurate taxonomy and functional ecology identification.

Summary: This paper discusses whether people care about the deep sea or not, arguing that people do care about various aspects of the deep sea, including both market and non-market values. However, the welfare benefits from the deep sea are not highlighted in political discussions or marine policy making.

Summary: The role of animal (and plant) respiration in assessing the true carbon sequestration potential of a system is vital to acknowledge. However, there is confusion around the respiration of kelp once exported to open waters from kelp ecosystems but respired before sequestration in this article. The concept of open and closed systems is redefined and the magnitude of carbon sink is poorly quantified.

Summary: Ability tilts refer to differences within individuals in different abilities, which have genetic heritability and environmental plasticity. However, it is shown through simulations that the heritability and environmentability of ability tilts are spurious consequences of the heritability and environmentability of the constituent variables.

Summary: SARS-CoV-2 can be inactivated in aerosol form, which is its primary mode of transmission, through the use of radiated microwaves. The frequencies required for this inactivation have been determined experimentally and align with the mathematical model proposed by Taylor, Margueritat, and Saviot. This alignment strengthens the efficacy of radiated microwave technology in reducing the transmission of SARS-CoV-2 in its airborne state.
