ABSTRACT The global textile and fashion industry has emerged as both a cornerstone of economic growth and one of the most environmentally taxing sectors. With its water‐intensive cotton cultivation, synthetic fiber dependency, and massive post‐consumer waste, the industry contributes significantly to global carbon emissions and climate change. In India,

Invasive plant species for compost production: Review of environmental and economic insights
Abstract Invasive plant species pose significant ecological and economic challenges, threatening biodiversity and altering soil properties, while conventional control methods are often costly and resource‐intensive. This review examines the potential of composting invasive plant biomass as a viable and sustainable alternative that aligns with circular ...

Abstract Oxygen is critical for nearly all life on Earth, including aquatic species that breathe dissolved oxygen in both freshwater and marine systems. The rapid, global, and anthropogenic loss of dissolved oxygen known as “aquatic deoxygenation” threatens life in these environments, the human communities that depend on them, and Earth system ...

Primary productivity coupled to oxic methane production in coastal waters of southern China
Abstract Oxic methane (CH4) production (OMP) occurs in diverse oxygenated surface waters worldwide. However, phytoplankton‐driven OMP in natural marine environments remains poorly documented. During a research cruise in the highly productive southern East China Sea, we measured OMP by incubating phytoplankton‐rich surface waters and found that CH4 ...

Extraordinary methane levels in a small bar‐built tropical estuary
Abstract Small estuaries link uplands and nearshore marine environments but are understudied in many regions. We quantified spatial and temporal variability in CH4, CO2, nutrients, and organic matter in a small, deep, bar‐built tropical estuary in Fajardo, Puerto Rico.

Abstract Hydrogenotrophic methanogens are anaerobic archaea that convert carbon dioxide and hydrogen into methane. Central to this process is the heterodisulfide reductase (Hdr), which catalyzes the reduction of the heterodisulfide made of coenzyme M and coenzyme B. In vivo, Hdr functions in association with electron‐donating modules such as the [NiFe]‐

Uncertainties exist in the biosphere–climate feedbacks in the Arctic. Remote and ground measurements play complementary roles in detecting possible changes. A critical next step is identification of key drivers of the global changes for future projections. ABSTRACT Positive biosphere–climate feedbacks are likely to amplify the Arctic warming, yet major

Summary Tree stems in Amazonian floodplains emit substantial methane (CH4), yet controls on emission variability remain unclear. Emissions span orders of magnitude between várzea (nutrient‐rich) and igapó (nutrient‐poor) forests and among trees, suggesting controls beyond flooding.
