The negative relationship between θ crit and S indicates that dryland ecosystems minimize θ crit through mechanisms of sustained SM extraction and transport by xylem. Dryland ecosystems tend to operate at low θ crit and show adaptation to water deficits. Variation in θ crit, S, and EF max is mostly explained by soil texture, vapor pressure deficit, and precipitation, respectively, as well as vegetation structure. We find systematic differences of these three variables across biomes. Three canonical variables describe how EF is controlled by SM: the maximum EF (EF max), θ crit, and slope (S) between EF and SM. Here, we use global eddy covariance observations to quantify θ crit and evaporative fraction (EF) regimes. Knowledge of the spatial distribution of θ crit is crucial for future projections of climate and water resources. Plant water stress occurs at the point when soil moisture (SM) limits transpiration, defining a critical SM threshold (θ crit). FCSW members serve by appointment and the commission is housed at the Office of the Attorney General of Florida. The FCSW also manages the Florida Achievement Award for those who have improved the lives of women and girls in Florida, an award is focused on outstanding volunteerism. The program was created by an act of the Florida Legislature and is overseen by the Florida Commission on the Status of Women (FCSW), a nonpartisan board created in 1991 to study and "make recommendations to the Governor, Cabinet and Legislature on issues affecting women". An awards ceremony for the hall of fame was first held in 1982 and recipient names are displayed in the Florida State Capitol. The Florida Women's Hall of Fame is an honor roll of women who have contributed to life for citizens of the US state of Florida.

With her family fractured and the investigation putting her life in danger, the last thing Kala needs is romance. Kala’s new stepfather is a monster, but his son Leon is something altogether more dangerous: kind. She’s determined to investigate, but she has a more immediate problem: the laws of the city require her mother to remarry straight away. Kala has never had any reason to doubt their word – until her father dies in suspicious circumstances that implicate the city’s high priest. Behind it, the souls of the dead clamour for release. The ancient city of Kepos sits in an isolated valley, cut off from the outside world by a towering wall. If you haven’t read it, definitely check out The Bridge at No Gun Ri. Hanley’s previous work, so I’m definitely going into this one ready to be well informed. Of these four, the first is an ARC to read and review, the second was gifted to me by a friend, the third is a new short from Tor (I really do love their short stories!), and the last is a new nonfiction book on the Korean War that I got pretty much the day it came out. There are so many books on my list that I’m eagerly awaiting reading and these are just the start! Some great finds, though. Fantasy and zombie fans looking for flavor-organ-meat, in particular-will not be disappointed.
