Aridity and drought: distinct concepts often conflated in ecological research

open access: yesNew Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary As well‐established drivers of ecological pattern and process, aridity and drought are linked by a common focus on water limitation – with both aridity and especially drought projected to increase in extent and severity with climate change. There is a long history of assessing plant adaptations to drought through the lens of aridity. Consistent

Supply Chain Cost Analysis for Interior Lighting Systems Based on Polymer Optical Fibres Compared to Optical Injection Moulding

open access: yesTextiles
Car interior design should evoke emotions, offer comfort, convey safety and at the same time project the brand identity of the car manufacturer. Lighting is used to address these functions.

Can species adapt to drought using multiple strategies? Lessons from the California poppy

open access: yesNew Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary Plants can escape drought by completing life cycles early, tolerate drought by increasing physiological limits, or avoid drought stress by obtaining or using water more efficiently. It remains unclear whether strategies vary within species across their distributional ranges due to trade‐offs, and whether species can exhibit plasticity in ...

Contrasting strategies in morphological and physiological response to drought stress among temperate forest understory forbs and graminoids

open access: yesPlant Biology, EarlyView.
Under drought stress, temperate forest understorey forbs prioritize biomass and leaf area retention, while graminoids enhance water‐use efficiency and photoprotection for survival. Abstract Drought stress can profoundly affect plant growth and physiological vitality, yet there is a notable scarcity of controlled drought experiments focused on ...

Development of a Finishing Process for Imbuing Flame Retardancy into Materials Using Biohybrid Anchor Peptides

open access: yesApplied Sciences
Flame retardants are commonly used to reduce fire risk in various products and environments, including textiles. While many of these additives contain harmful substances, efforts are underway to reduce their usage. Current research aims to minimize flame-

Blumenthal's Theorem for Laurent Orthogonal Polynomials

open access: yesJournal of Approximation Theory, 2002
The authors study polynomials which satisfy a three-term recurrence relation \(B_n(x)=(x-\beta_n)B_{n-1}(x)-\alpha_n xB_{n-2}(x)\) with positive coefficients \(\alpha_{n+1}, \beta_n\) and show that their zeros are eigenvalues of structured Hessenberg matrices. The case when \(\alpha_n \to\alpha\) and \(\beta_n \to\beta\) is analysed in more detail. Now

Trait‐based restoration in African dryland restoration projects: overcoming systemic and scientific barriers for a viable future

open access: yesRestoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction African dryland restoration continues to show low success rates despite major pledges, due to persistent water scarcity, ecological complexity, and limited use of trait‐based restoration (TBR). Functional trait‐based approaches, which match species selection to adaptive traits, could strengthen ecosystem recovery under arid ...
