Detecting and attributing climate change effects on vegetation: Australia as a test case
PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Climate change is contributing to vegetation changes that threaten life support systems. Yet, inherent climatic variability and past and present human actions—such as clearing, burning and grazing regimes—also alter vegetation and complicate understanding of vegetation change. Australian ecosystems exemplify such complexity.

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Woodlands globally are threatened by environmental change and biodiversity loss. Temperate rainforests are an ecologically rich ecosystem found in wet regions of the temperate zone, and Britain has the potential for major temperate rainforest coverage in its nature‐depleted landscape.

Editorial: Using charcoal to fix the price of carbon emissions
Sustainability: Science, Practice, & Policy, 2009 Using charcoal as a model is probably as close as we can come at present to developing a realistic cost for offsetting CO2 emissions. Of course, carbon taxation needs an equitable basis for calculation and, unlike the current offset costs that are based ...

Impacts of rodents in piggeries in Australia – review and pilot impact study
Pest Management Science, EarlyView.Rodent impacts in Australian piggeries are under‐researched, with limited data on economic losses and control costs. A review and pilot study found average losses of AUD$100 000 annually. Key concerns include disease, damage, and control expenses.

Women's Empowerment, Governance, and the Economics of Clean Cooking Transitions in Africa
Sustainable Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Over the past few decades, the global economy, particularly in developing nations, has persistently grappled with rising dependence on conventional energy resources, thus rendering the realization of Sustainable Development Goals 5 and 7 (SDGs 5 and 7) an elusive aspiration for the international community.

A Thermogravimetric Study of the Behaviour of Biomass Blends During Combustion
Acta Polytechnica, 2012 The ignition and combustion behavior of biomass and biomass blends under typical heating conditions were investigated. Thermogravimetric analyses were performed on stalk and woody biomass, alone and blended with various additive weight ratios.

Chemically‐Linked Heterostructures of Palladium Nanosheets and 2H‐MoS2
Small, EarlyView.The photoresponse of MoS2 devices is extended to the near‐infrared region (up to 1700 nm) through chemical connection to Pd nanosheets (PdNS). A maleimide is used for covalent connection to MoS2, and a phenyl bromide moiety for linkage to the PdNS. In the absence of the chemical linker, van der Waals heterostructures show poorer enhancement of the ...
