Testing the generality of below-ground biomass allometry across plant functional types [PDF]

Forest Ecology and Management, 2019
Accurate quantification of below-ground biomass (BGB) of woody vegetation is critical to understanding ecosystem function and potential for climate change mitigation from sequestration of biomass carbon. We compiled 2054 measurements of planted and natural individual tree and shrub biomass from across different regions of Australia (arid shrublands to ...

Electrospun Wood‐Derived Biopolymers as Electrodes in Electrochemical Energy Storage Technologies

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Electrospinning transforms wood‐derived cellulose and lignin into architecturally defined, binder‐free carbon electrodes with tuneable porosity and functionality. This review shows how fibre design enables decoupled charge and mass transport, enhancing performance across battery systems, while identifying key challenges in spinnability, scalability ...

Comparison of calculation methods for estimating annual carbon stock change in German forests under forest management in the German greenhouse gas inventory

Carbon Balance and Management, 2016
Background The German greenhouse gas inventory in the land use change sector strongly depends on national forest inventory data. As these data were collected periodically 1987, 2002, 2008 and 2012, the time series on emissions show several “jumps” due to

Advancements in Hypersaline Wastewater Treatment: The Promise of Quasi‐Liquid Surfaces to Reduce Salt Scaling

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Durable quasi‐liquid polymer brush surfaces provide an anti‐scaling strategy for hypersaline brine evaporation and zero‐liquid‐discharge desalination. The smooth, liquid‐like QLS interface suppresses substrate‐side salt nucleation, promotes compact crystallization and dewetting, reduces crystal–surface contact area, and enables low‐adhesion salt ...

Below-ground biomass in some intertidal wetlands in New South Wales.

Wetlands Australia, 2009
Few, if any, data exist on below-ground biomass for most plant communities. Nevertheless, the proportion of plant productivity devoted to root growth may be substantial. The major difficulties in obtaining representative measures of root biomass are: i) Obtaining samples which are representative of the root zone, especially with respect to depth ...

Functionalizing Micro‐to‐Mesoscopic Electrode Architectures for Regulating Electron Transfer Behaviors in Electrocatalysis

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A systematic review is conducted to assess the influence of electrode architecture across micro‐ to mesoscopic length scales on electron‐transfer pathways in electrocatalysis. We discuss the structure‐activity relationships in electrocatalytic applications, including resource recovery and environmental remediation, and provide cost‐effective, efficient

Conjugated Porphyrin Polymer With Superior Charge Transfer for Photodynamic‐Immunomodulatory Prevention of CIED Infection in Diabetes

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Under NIR irradiation, PTCPP generates ROS to eliminate MRSA biofilms and promote M1 macrophage polarization for phagocytosis. After bacterial clearance, the material is phagocytosed by macrophages, shifting their polarization to M2 phenotype via metabolic reprogramming, which synergistically enhances anti‐infection therapy and wound healing.

Alpine meadow degradation regulates soil microbial diversity via decreasing plant production on the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau

Ecological Indicators
In recent decades, alpine meadows have experienced severe degradation owing to external disturbances. Although soil microorganisms are critical for ecosystem services, little is known about their responses to soil degradation and the potential patterns ...

Ampelocalamus luodianensis (Poaceae), a plant endemic to karst, adapts to resource heterogeneity in differing microhabitats by adjusting its biomass allocation

Global Ecology and Conservation, 2023
Karst landscapes typically have extremely poor soil fertility, water retention, and water holding capacity, making these landscapes extremely unusual among terrestrial ecosystems.

Mixed‐Metal Promotion in a Manganese‐Molybdenum Oxynitride as Catalyst to Integrate C─C and C─N Coupling Reactions for the Direct Synthesis of Acetonitrile from Syngas and Ammonia

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Transition metal oxy/carbo‐nitrides show great promise as catalysts for sustainable processes. A Mn‐Mo mixed‐metal oxynitride attains remarkable performance for the direct synthesis of acetonitrile, an important commodity chemical, via sequential C─N and C─C coupling from syngas (C1) and ammonia (N1) feedstocks.
