Geomorphometric characterisation of natural and anthropogenic land covers
Progress in Earth and Planetary Science, 2020 The scientific community has widely discussed the role of abiotic and biotic forces in reshaping the Earth’s surface. Currently, the literature is debating whether humans are leaving a topographic signature on the landscape.

Anthropogenic impacts on multi-scale ecosystems
Ecological Informatics, 2012 Natural influences and human activities continually bring about changes in ecosystems. It is becoming increasingly clear that species are less able to adapt to natural changes at local and regional scales when those changes are compounded by human-caused alterations (UNEP, 1995; Yang and Zhao, 2008; Yang, 2011).

Reconstructing enzyme evolution by protein engineering
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Natural enzyme evolution can be retraced by protein engineering methods such as directed evolution, rational design, and ancestral sequence reconstruction. These approaches reveal how enzymes emerged from ligand‐binding scaffolds, developed varying substrate preferences, formed oligomeric complexes, adapted to environmental changes, and evolved novel ...
