Uncovering intra-daily intertidal biofilm dynamics in a shorebird foraging hotspot with hourly UAV multispectral imagery acquisitions

International Journal of Applied Earth Observations and Geoinformation
Estuarine mudflats are colonized by biofilm-forming microphytobenthos (MPB), which support primary production, stabilize sediment, and provide critical food for benthic invertebrates and shorebirds.

Mechanisms of Surviving Burial: Dune Grass Interspecific Differences Drive Resource Allocation After Sand Deposition [PDF]

, 2018
Sand dunes are important geomorphic formations of coastal ecosystems that are critical in protecting human populations that live in coastal areas. Dune formation is driven by ecomorphodynamic interactions between vegetation and sediment deposition. While

Low intra-canopy variability of floral traits in temperate woody plants

Global Ecology and Conservation
Floral traits represent a valuable yet underutilized resource for functional ecology. We aimed to examine the variability of six quantitative floral traits (carbon [C] and nitrogen [N] contents, C:N ratio, flower length and width, and dry biomass) among ...

When Cellulose Moves: Smart Sensors and Actuators

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
This review highlights cellulose‐derived soft actuators alongside with cellulose‐based sensors. Emphasis is placed on their integration into multifunctional devices that couple sensing and actuation to mimic natural motion and adaptability. We also discuss the challenges of achieving robust, reversible, and multi‐stimuli‐responsive motion, and outline ...
