Elevation‐dependent soil and plant responses to a decade of warming and species removal

Oikos, EarlyView.
Understanding how ecosystems retain or release carbon under warming is a critical challenge. Dominant plant species, which contribute the most biomass, can mediate ecosystem responses to warming by modifying microclimate and nutrient cycling. To investigate how warming and shifts in plant dominance interact to affect carbon and nutrient dynamics, we ...

Relational knowing as method and practice

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract This paper seeks to contribute to (re)building the capacity for embodied, place‐based relational knowing, transforming how we know and thus what we know. What is known, or sought to be known, is relations. How we know these relations is by already being in it: breathing, sensing, moving, listening, responding, affecting and being affected ...

Sepiolite Nanofibers Decorated With Zn Single Sites: A Sustainable Filler for Mechanically Robust and Self‐Healing Ionomeric Elastomer Composites

Polymer Composites, EarlyView.
Fabrication of XNBR nanocomposites reinforced with Zn single‐site decorated sepiolite nanofibers. The resulting composites exhibit high mechanical strength and self‐healing performance, driven by dynamic interactions between the Zn single sites and the XNBR chains (inset).

Behavior of Injection‐Molded Nylon 6 Composites With Virgin and Field‐Exposed Waste‐Recycled Blends

Polymer Composites, EarlyView.
Recycling field‐exposed Nylon 6 composites for sustainable secondary applications. ABSTRACT Every year, more than 18,600 metric tonnes of glass fiber‐reinforced Nylon 6 composite waste from sucker rod guides used in downhole oil and gas applications are landfilled due to uncertainty about retained performance after prolonged service exposure.

Lichen‐Derived Mineral Residue as a Renewable Particulate Filler in Polylactic Acid Biocomposites: Structure, Melt Rheology, Viscoelastic, and Flexural Behavior

Polymer Composites, EarlyView.
Lichen residue, a renewable mineral‐organic material, was melt compounded with polylactic acid and triacetin in a twin‐screw extruder. ABSTRACT A lichen‐derived natural material, known as “höllük” in southeastern Turkey, is introduced as a renewable filler for polylactic acid (PLA).

Improvement of water absorption behavior and mechanical properties of woven jute fiber‐reinforced epoxy composites with waste eggshell filler

Polymer International, EarlyView.
This study investigates the influence of waste eggshell powder on the water absorption and mechanical properties of jute fiber‐reinforced epoxy composites. Optimal eggshell filler content (2 wt%) significantly enhances composite performance by reducing water absorption and improving mechanical properties.

Biosurfactant production by Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolated from mining waste: From genomic analysis to development of a polymeric composite for removal of hexavalent chromium

Polymer International, EarlyView.
Biosurfactant was produced by Pseudomonas aeruginosa using andiroba waste from Amazonia. A biosurfactant–alginate composite (Alg/BioS) was successfully synthesized via ionotropic gelation, and achieved up to 70% Cr6+ removal from water. Abstract Environmental contamination by heavy metals represents a significant challenge due to their persistence in ...

Synthesis and application of alginate@CuFe2O4 polymeric spheres in 17‐β‐estradiol adsorption processes in Amazonian rivers

Polymer International, EarlyView.
Magnetic alginate beads, functionalized with copper ferrite, effectively remove 17‐β‐estradiol from Amazonian water, exhibiting optimized 238.65 μg g−1 capacity, fast 40 min kinetics, easy recovery, and successful remediation. Abstract The presence of endocrine‐disrupting compounds, such as 17‐β‐estradiol, in aquatic ecosystems poses a significant ...
