Regeneration failure, fire, topography, and climate interact to drive temperate wet forest landscapes into fire traps

Ecography, EarlyView.
Where early successional forests are more flammable than old‐growth forests, forested landscapes are vulnerable to shifting into ‘fire traps' through positive feedbacks, where fire leads to more fire. These feedbacks are amplified by increased flammability driven by climate change, the presence of non‐native flammable plant species, and slowed ...

Exposure to micro‐ and nano‐plastics: From human internal burden to systems‐level health‐risk interpretation

iMeta, EarlyView.
Micro‐ and nano‐plastics (MNPs) can enter the human body through inhalation, ingestion, contact with consumer products, and iatrogenic routes. The clinical relevance of MNP exposure should be interpreted at three levels: barrier interaction, cellular stress, and system‐level disruption, with key mechanisms including oxidative stress, mitochondrial ...

Vulnerability assessment of Arctic coastal communities to the effects of coastal erosion and permafrost warming.

This study assesses the escalating vulnerability of Arctic coastal communities due to the combined impacts of coastal erosion and permafrost warming. With the Arctic experiencing heightened temperatures, coastal permafrost areas face increased instability, endangering vital infrastructures.
