Management and incipient domestication of Chamaedorea tepejilote in agroforestry systems in Mexico

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Native wild plants are key elements in addressing global biodiversity loss and supporting sustainable food systems. We investigated how rural communities in Mexico manage Chamaedorea tepejilote, a wild palm with edible male inflorescences, by combining ethnobotanical, genetic, morphological and ecological approaches.

Ethnobotanical and genetic assessments of Central American avocado landraces reveal novel sources of biodiversity and ancient migration patterns

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Avocados are a multibillion‐dollar global commodity, but their growing export market pressures local farmers to abandon local fruit tree diversity in favor of commercial cultivar production. Interviews with rural avocado farmers and households from the Southern Mexican Highlands, Pacific Coastal Honduras, and Western Nicaragua, as well as the genetic ...

Experimental Study on Fine Sediment Infiltration (FSI) Processes in Different Gravel Mixtures

River Research and Applications, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Fine sediment infiltration (FSI) can lead to riverbed clogging, thereby degrading important habitats for aquatic biota in the hyporheic interstitial zone of gravel‐bed rivers (e.g., by reducing oxygen availability). This stress on rivers may increase from anthropogenic influences and can be counteracted by artificial gravel augmentation to ...

Classification of tree species and standing dead trees in Boreal forests using UAV‐based RGB, multispectral, and LiDAR point clouds

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
We evaluated single‐ and multi‐sensor UAV approaches for classifying tree species and standing dead trees in boreal forests, focusing on key biodiversity indicators such as European aspen. Using spectral and structural features extracted from RGB, multispectral (MSP), and LiDAR point clouds for 1,205 field‐measured trees, we compared classification ...

Assessing National Sustainability Transitions in Europe: A Dynamic MCDA and Clustering‐Based Approach

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The study evaluates the sustainable development of 42 European countries using a multi‐criteria decision analysis (MCDA) approach, based on 29 indicators covering the economic, social, and environmental pillars. All three pillars are assessed both individually and in consolidated form to provide a comprehensive view of countries ...

Influence of Temperature on the Reliability of Graphene‐Based Ozone Sensors

Small, EarlyView.
The reliability and stability of inkjet‐printed graphene flake sensors are evaluated. Stress assessments take place in ozone‐rich environments and at elevated temperatures, with the observation of a change in resistance. Surface‐sensitive techniques serve to investigate the failure and degradation mechanisms of printed graphene.

Potential‐Dependent Reversible Restructuring of Pt–Au Alloy Electrocatalysts

Small, EarlyView.
Using electrochemical X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), we show that Pt–Au alloys adjust their surface elemental composition to the applied electrochemical conditions. The surface dynamics are found to be highly reversible, even at room temperature, suggesting that dynamic restructuring of alloy nanoparticles occurs in a wide range of conditions,
