Scaling from microsite to landscape to resolve litter decomposition dynamics in globally extensive drylands

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Decomposition is the transformation of dead organic matter into its inorganic constituents. In most biomes, decomposition rates can be accurately predicted with simple mathematical models, but these models have long under‐predicted decomposition in globally extensive ...

Ecohydrological characteristics of biocrusts explain divergent responses of biocrusts and grasses to rainfall reduction

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Drylands are mainly structured by both vascular plants and biological soil crusts (biocrusts), the latter often regarded as a self‐organizing component of these ecosystems.

Habitat and spatial trends of U.K. wintering waterbird populations over 50 years

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract The United Kingdom is an important wintering ground for millions of waterbirds. Most U.K. wintering waterbird populations increased between 1970 and the mid‐1990s, but declined thereafter. We examined U.K. population indices in 46 wintering waterbird species in two 25‐year periods, 1970–1994 and 1995–2019, to identify which waterbird groups ...

Extreme site fidelity in long‐distance migratory shorebirds in Australia and potential implications for conservation

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Site fidelity is the tendency for animals to repeatedly return to the same locations, either within or between years. Site fidelity enables animals to utilize knowledge of previously visited locations, including assessments of seasonal variations in health and mortality risks (e.g., predation), resource availability, and social benefits such ...

Academic English Literacy as a Moderator of the Relationship Between Psychological Capital and Academic Success in English Medium Instruction

International Journal of Applied Linguistics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In English Medium Instruction (EMI) contexts, students face simultaneous linguistic and academic demands. Although psychological capital (PsyCap) has been recognized as an important psychological resource for academic success, less is known about whether its effects depend on students’ academic English literacy (AEL).

A Locally Retentive HfO2–STING Nano‐Radiosensitizer Hydrogel for Enhanced Radioimmunotherapy in Esophageal Cancer

Rare Metals, Volume 45, Issue 9, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) remains associated with frequent local recurrence and distant metastasis despite advances in radiochemotherapy and immunotherapy, highlighting the need for therapeutic strategies that improve both local tumor control and systemic antitumor immune responses.

Ultrasound‐Driven Dual Piezocatalytic–Electrical Scaffold Synergistically Promotes Osteoporotic Bone Healing

Rare Metals, Volume 45, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT The regeneration of osteoporotic bone defects is severely hampered by compromised endogenous healing capacity, demanding advanced strategies that actively orchestrate pro‐osteogenic microenvironments. Here, we report an integrated, self‐powered osteo‐regenerative system that uniquely leverages a dual ultrasound‐responsive piezoelectric ...

Synergetic Ruthenium Clusters and Ligand Motifs in Insoluble Polyoxometalates for Efficient Urea Electrosynthesis

Rare Metals, Volume 45, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT The electrocatalytic co‐reduction of CO2 and nitrate (NO3− ${\text{NO}}_{3}^{-}$) to synthesize urea presents a sustainable alternative to traditional industrial processes, yet its efficiency is fundamentally limited by the kinetically mismatched activation and coupling of CO2 and NO3− ${\text{NO}}_{3}^{-}$.

Acoustically Assisted Heterojunction Hydrogel Promotes Angiogenesis and Tissue Regeneration by Modulating the Inflammatory Microenvironment

Rare Metals, Volume 45, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT The healing of diabetic chronic wounds is hindered by multiple pathological barriers, including oxidative stress imbalance induced by hyperglycemia, persistent bacterial infection, and impaired neovascular function. This study developed an F127–HA–BiOCl@CeO2 (FHBC) hydrogel dressing with acoustic responsiveness, achieving tissue repair through

Dual‐Bioactive Lignin‐Based Microcarrier Hydrogel Platform via Metal Salt Crosslinking for Synchronized Infection Eradication and Bone Regeneration

Rare Metals, Volume 45, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Infected bone defects represent a dual therapeutic challenge demanding concurrent infection inhibition and osteogenesis promotion. Systemic antibiotic administration is taken as a classical treatment protocol but often yields inadequate local antibiotic concentrations and delayed bone repair.
