Recent advances in multifunctional soft robots: A materials–structures–systems co‐design perspective for synergistic integration

FlexMat, EarlyView.
Abstract Soft robots, engineered from highly compliant materials, offer superior adaptability and safety in unstructured environments compared to their rigid counterparts. Recent advancements, fueled by bio‐inspiration and material programmability, have led to the rapid co‐evolution of their core modules: actuation, sensing, protection, energy, and ...

Multi‐synergistic strategy for dual‐sensing conductive hydrogels capable of simultaneous strain and temperature monitoring

FlexMat, EarlyView.
In this study, a multicomponent synergistic strategy is utilized, which capitalizes on the “intersection” of multiple functional influencing factors to achieve the successful development of a multifunctional hydrogel. Through the construction of a unique three‐dimensional dynamic cross‐linked network, the material combines mechanical strength ...

Limited microclimatic buffering capacity in boreal forests calls for sustainable management strategies

Environmental Research Letters
Forest canopies regulate the energy exchange between the atmosphere and Earth’s surface, creating microclimates that are often buffered from open-air temperature extremes and are critical for forest species under climate warming.

Occurrence, morphology and growth of understory saplings in Swedish forests [PDF]

, 2004
Growing demands for a multipurpose forestry leads to increased use of silvicultural systems that avoid clear-cutting. Regeneration in such systems is based on establishment and ingrowth of new seedlings under a more or less closed canopy.

Seasonal Predictions and Their Applications in the Mediterranean Region: Part I—Sources of Predictability and Prediction Skill

International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
The ability to predict climate fluctuations at seasonal timescales offers significant socio‐economic benefits. However, limited understanding of predictability mechanisms and model errors hinders forecast quality. Recent research has improved forecasting systems and data quality.

Predicting Forest Age up to 250 Years in Old-Growth Boreal Mixedwoods of Western Quebec, Canada, Using Airborne Laser Scanning Data and Modelled Tree Species Composition

Canadian Journal of Remote Sensing
Old-growth boreal forests play a key role in global conservation policies. Forest age maps, however, tend to lose accuracy as stands age, making it impossible to consider the full successional diversity of old-growth forests.

Potential of C-band Sentinel-1 InSAR for ground surface deformation monitoring in the southern boreal forest: An investigation in the Genhe River basin

International Journal of Applied Earth Observations and Geoinformation
The boreal forest surrounds the Arctic region and is the most extensive ecosystem on Earth; one-third of its soil is influenced by permafrost and accompanying wetlands.
