Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Establishing biocrusts on sandy surfaces in harsh desert environments presents significant challenges due to extreme ecological conditions. To address these challenges, this study examined the effects of two organic superabsorbent cellulosic polymers (OSCPs)—carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) and guar gum (GUA)—on the establishment of ...

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Modified biochars are increasingly recognized as multifunctional materials for wastewater nutrient recovery and slow‐release fertilization in sandy agroecosystems. This review evaluates modified biochars, with particular emphasis on tyre‐derived biochar (TBC), for (i) recovery of nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) from wastewater and digestate ...

Theories of care help explain a peri‐urban tree diversity paradox
People and Nature, EarlyView.Abstract Since diversity is often a management objective for peri‐urban tree communities on public land, one might expect to find greater diversity there than on private land, where such objectives are less common. However, this expectation rests on an assumption that people control diversity towards objectives, overlooking the role of relationships ...

Interfacially Engineered Alginate/Hydroxyapatite Biocomposites With High Strength and Toughness
Polymer Composites, EarlyView.Pre‐crosslinking alginate with Ca2+ prior to hydroxyapatite (HAP) formation reduces residual Ca2+ bridging and promotes stronger carboxylate‐hydroxyapatite interfacial interactions, yielding composites with markedly higher strength, stiffness, and toughness than those prepared by the opposite sequence.
