Biosorption of hexavalent chromium using nanche (Byrsonima crassifolia L.) by-product
Water contamination by heavy metals is generally caused by anthropic activities, with industry being the main source of contamination. The tannery is one of them, since it uses hexavalent chromium salts [Cr (VI)] in the process, and when its effluents are poorly treated, they irremediably damage water bodies and their consumption can have negative ...

Patterns of Tree Species Abundance and Diversity on Urban Sidewalks in Macapá, Amapá, Brazil
This study presents the first systematic inventory of street trees in Macapá, Northeastern Brazilian Amazon. Results reveal a dominance of exotic and fruit‐bearing species, low tree density, and a replacement of large canopy trees by smaller ones, indicating potential losses in ecosystem services and the need for more biodiversity‐focused afforestation

Groundwater Changes the Climate Niche of an Amazonian Mound‐Building Termite
ABSTRACT Rainfall is a major dimension of species climate niches. It has been proposed that groundwater can change species responses to rainfall by creating ‘hydrological refugia’ under a drier climate. However, the available evidence is conflicting and biased towards plants.

The rising demand for onion production results in significant waste, harming the environment. Onion waste is unsuitable for animal feed and difficult to dispose of due to its strong odor and potential for phytopathogen growth. Pyrolysis is a promising method for repurposing food waste, requiring minimal infrastructure and offering rapid processing and ...

Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) exhibit distinctive electrical, optical, and thermal properties enabling diverse applications, but their utility is limited by their tendency to aggregate. Pomelo peel extract (PPE), rich in flavonoids and ascorbic acid, was utilized as a dual reducing and stabilizing agent for the rapid green synthesis of AgNPs.
