Complex agricultural landscapes host more biodiversity than simple ones: A global meta-analysis
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2022 Significance Agricultural land, the world’s largest human-managed ecosystem, forms the matrix that connects remnant and fragmented patches of natural vegetation where nondomesticated biodiversity struggles to survive.

Active Biopaste for Coral Reef Restoration
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.Preserving coral reefs is essential. A conductive, hardening paste for coral attachment and mineral accretion technology is developed, using a bio‐based acrylate soybean oil matrix and graphene nanoplatelets. Corals are attached with and onto the conductive paste, electricity is applied, water electrolysis is induced, and calcium is deposited at the ...
