Planting for healthy air: Urban biodiversity enhances natural chemical environments

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Cities urgently need nature to improve public health, support biodiversity, and increase resilience to climate change. Yet not all green spaces offer the same benefits. In this study, we show that more diverse urban plantings create richer “chemical environments”; subtle, naturally scented atmospheres formed by plant emissions that can influence how ...

Social‐ecological signatures in plant species composition across Swiss cities and urban green space types

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Cities can harbor greater plant diversity than other ecosystems, yet how city sociocultural factors may determine differences in plant composition across equivalent urban green space types remains understudied. Here, we compare plant communities in five main urban greenspace types across three Swiss cities representing the country's French (Geneva ...

Increased utilitarian value of invasive species in regions with long invasion history may limit public engagement for invasion control

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Positive perceptions of invasive species can hinder effective management, especially if management efforts that are rooted in scientific theories are misaligned with local ecological knowledge. We documented local ecological knowledge about land invasibility as predicted by invasion biology theories. Participants with greater local ecological knowledge

Effect of Antioxidants and Compatibilizers on Gel Formation and Film Quality of Polyethylene Films With Recycled Content

open access: yesPackaging Technology and Science, EarlyView.
This paper and evaluates the quality variations that arise from the difference in PCR PE batches of the commercially produced films with PCR PE content then studies the effect of antioxidants and compatibilizers on the gel presence and seal characteristics of packaging films produced from 100% PCR PE.

What If Cooking Isn't Chemistry? Examining the Good and the Harm in Metaphorical Connections Between Science and Everyday Activities

open access: yesScience Education, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This theoretical paper examines why we make claims like “cooking is chemistry,” what these claims mean, and what good or harm they accomplish. We make three interrelated arguments: First, the relationship between scientific and everyday practices is more complicated and less obvious than is often claimed; second, educators and scientists link ...

Can Environmental Markets Pay for More Sustainable Farm Dams? A Cost–Benefit Analysis

open access: yesSustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Farm dams are widespread artificial waterbodies that play a critical role in agricultural water security. Enhancing these systems through sustainable interventions such as fencing, hardened access points, and revegetation can improve water quality and deliver carbon and biodiversity co‐benefits.
