Advanced Science, EarlyView.A rattan‐based evaporator with bimodal hierarchical porous structures achieves an high evaporation rate of 3.34 kg m−2 h−1 under 1 sun illumination by optimizing the surface water layer, localizing heat, and reducing vaporization enthalpy. Abstract Global water scarcity urgently demands sustainable purification solutions.

Root Meristem Maintenance Mechanisms are Key to Plant Defense Against Nanoplastics
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Small nanoplastics can disrupt cell integrity and inhibit cell division in meristem zone of plant root. The plants can counteract the cell damage by upregulating genes associated with root meristem maintenance and increasing auxin accumulation by PIN2 transport inhibition.

Toward Sustainable Pesticide Application: Bridging Efficacy and Food Safety
Advanced Science, EarlyView.A fully bio‐based lignin coacervate system is developed for pesticide delivery, enhancing leaf retention, UV resistance, adhesion, and wetting. The formulation enables pH/laccase‐triggered release for prolonged action, reduces ecological toxicity, and is fully washable, reconciling agricultural efficacy with food and environmental safety.

Disentangling the contributions of ecological conditions to biomass in longleaf pine forests
Forest Ecology and ManagementTheoretical and empirical studies have suggested that climate, soils, and topography are the primary drivers of aboveground biomass in forests. Yet, the direct effects of these drivers may be mediated by indirect effects, such as species diversity and structural diversity.
