Engaging the public in plant science: Communication facilitators and barriers of scaling up a citizen science campaign

open access: yesPeople and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Volunteers have been involved in nature observations for decades through citizen science initiatives, providing large data sets as well as problem identification that allow a more complete understanding of many natural phenomena. Although communication is a core component in citizen science, the key factors that determine its effectiveness in ...

Managing the margins: Practitioner perspectives on barriers and solutions for biodiversity‐friendly roadside management in Germany

open access: yesPeople and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Roadsides can provide habitats, refuges and corridors for various plant and insect species. Preserving and enhancing these ecosystems can mitigate biodiversity loss and improve connectivity in fragmented landscapes. Despite growing evidence supporting biodiversity‐friendly management strategies, large‐scale implementation has not been realized.

Unravelling vicious circles of land use competition and food insecurity in agropastoral rangelands

open access: yesPeople and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract In many regions of the world, the adoption of new livelihood strategies that compete with traditional strategies is one driver of competition over land, resulting in unforeseen impacts on the livelihoods of land users and accelerating land degradation. One example is the Borana Zone in southern Ethiopia, where the expansion of crop cultivation

Prediction of Cure‐Induced Wrinkles Aimed at the Manufacturing of Large Wind Turbine Blades

open access: yesPolymer Composites, EarlyView.
The step‐wise progression of the development of cure‐induced wrinkles. Before curing, at room temperature the laminate is resting at the mould face. In the next step, the wrinkle is developing due to thermal gradients. At the end of curing, the composite has cooled down and the undulation is left in, byt the increase in resin stiffness across the ...

Polyethylene‐Polyamide‐6 Diblock Copolymers for Fused Filament Fabrication

open access: yesJournal of Polymer Science, EarlyView.
Linear HDPE‐PA6 block copolymers were prepared by polymerization of ethylene to a macroinitiator and subsequent anionic caprolactam polymerization. The copolymer with a HDPE mass of 6500 Da and PA6 mass of 20.000 Da was used as a filament in 3D printing.
