PM2.5 Chemical Composition and Geographic Origin of Air Masses in Mabopane, South Africa

X-Ray Spectrometry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Air pollution is a major global threat to health. The study aimed to analyze the chemical composition of PM2.5 in Mabopane, South Africa, and to identify the contribution of transported particulate pollution sources using backward air transport cluster analysis.

Performance Modelling of Biomass/Ammonia/Coal Co-firing in Pulverized Coal-fired Boiler using Process Simulation

Chemical Engineering Transactions
Global pledges to reduce greenhouse gases (GHGs) emission have induced gradual reduction of coal utilization as fuel in power generation. Co-firing coal with carbon-neutral and carbon-free fuel such as biomass and ammonia offer an economically viable way

Below the leaves: Integrating above‐ and below‐ground phenology for earth‐system predictability

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Almost every aspect of biological systems has phenology—a pattern in activity or function linked to annual cycles. Most terrestrial phenology research focusses on leaves, the onset of leaf out or senescence.

Mammalian herbivory indirectly shapes savanna arthropod communities but only at very low or high levels

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
This study investigates how large mammalian herbivores shape arthropod communities in African savannas, using a broad gradient of herbivory types and intensities to assess these effects under real‐world, non‐experimental conditions. Abstract Savanna ecosystems support unique biodiversity and provide livelihoods for millions of people.

State‐and‐transition simulation models: How can we use them to assess ecosystem condition and support nature markets

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract The world is experiencing a biodiversity crisis. Steep declines in habitat quality and ecosystem services have resulted in interest in markets to help fund ecological restoration. One way that ecological restoration is assessed is through indicators of ecosystem condition, namely, a measurement of how different a landscape is from its ...
