Conservation Biology, Volume 37, Issue 5, October 2023., 2023 Abstract Peri‐urban forest monitoring requires indicators of vegetation damage. An example is the sacred fir (Abies religiosa) forests surrounding Mexico City, which have been heavily exposed to tropospheric ozone, a harmful pollutant, for over 4 decades.

Evaluation and redesign of the primers for detecting nitrogen cycling genes in environments
Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 13, Issue 9, Page 1976-1989, September 2022., 2022 Abstract A better understanding of how nitrogen (N) cycling genes are involved in ecological processes is one of the crucial areas of microbial ecology. Currently, most molecular biological techniques investigating N cycling genes in the environment heavily rely on the accuracy of the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) primers; however, their specificity ...

Cu‐Based Catalysts Design Toward Electrochemical CO2 Reduction to Valuable Multi‐Carbons Products
Rare Metals, Volume 45, Issue 4, April 2026.ABSTRACT Electrochemical reduction of CO2 to multi‐carbon products (e.g., C2+, ethene, ethanol, etc.) not only effectively decreases the CO2 concentration in atmosphere but also shows great potential economic benefits due to these exploitable value‐added products. The Cu‐based catalysts have caught much attention in CO2 electroreduction due to the good
