Mitigation of Legacy Effects in Invaded Soil via Alien Plant‐Derived Biochar 题目:外来植物生物炭对其入侵后土壤遗留效应的修复作用

open access: yesIntegrative Conservation, Volume 4, Issue 4, Page 686-694, December 2025.
The soil fungicide reduces the occurrence of pathogenic fungi in invaded soil and at the same time promotes the recruitment of mycorrhizal fungi and saprophytic fungi by the plants. The addition of biochar to the invaded soil has a negative legacy effect on subsequent invasive plants, while it exerts a positive enhancement effect on native plants ...

Political Advertising With the Use of Deep Fakes—Can Deliberative Democracy Really Benefit From This Strategy?

open access: yesPolitics &Policy, Volume 53, Issue 3, June 2025.
ABSTRACT Deep fakes can be used for political advertising, enabling politicians to change their characteristic features or minimize deficits of their performances. Such a strategy may meet with great interest, which in some circumstances increases participation and might influence deliberation. It was applied in South Korea, and its variations appeared

Using explainable machine learning methods to evaluate vulnerability and restoration potential of ecosystem state transitions

open access: yesConservation Biology, Volume 38, Issue 3, June 2024.
Abstract Ecosystem state transitions can be ecologically devastating or be a restoration success. State transitions are common within aquatic systems worldwide, especially considering human‐mediated changes to land use and water use. We created a transferable conceptual framework to enable multiscale assessments of state resilience and early warnings ...
