Pattern of ray arrangement on cross section of bark of Aesculus

Acta Societatis Botanicorum Poloniae, 2014
The arrangement of rays within the phloem and rhytidome was studied in Aesculus stems. It was found that on the cross section most rays in the stem deviate in Z-direction, that is to the right from the geometric radius.

The relative roles of in situ diversification and lineage dispersal underlying diversity patterns at the assemblage level

Oikos, EarlyView.
Speciation, extinction, and dispersal are the historical processes influencing the spatial distribution of lineages and strongly influence diversity patterns. Here, we apply a recently developed methodological approach to quantify the relative legacies in situ diversification history (i.e.

Species identity and spatial scale drive context‑dependent tree diversity effects in a Finnish forest experiment

Oikos, EarlyView.
Tree species diversity is known to affect tree growth and leaf traits, which in turn can influence various ecosystem processes. However, the reported direction of these tree diversity effects is inconsistent, indicating that their outcomes depend strongly on ecological context.

Analysing interaction effects in forests using the mark correlation function

Forest@, 2007
The spatial distribution of trees in forests can be described and modelled by point processes where the points are given by the locations (coordinates) of the trees.

Integrating indigenous crops in agroforestry systems: Lesser yam and teak mixed systems are more profitable than monocultures in Indonesia

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Major staple crops are often introduced and cultivated in monocultures. Yams are staple crops native to the majority of low‐ and middle‐income countries and can provide an alternative to introduced staple crops. We showed that lesser yams cultivated together with teak trees (planted at the border of the farm) are more profitable than lesser yam ...

The European honey buzzard (Pernis apivorus) as an ally for the control of the invasive yellow‐legged hornet (Vespa velutina nigrithorax)

Pest Management Science, Volume 81, Issue 4, Page 2237-2247, April 2025.
The predatory effect of the honey‐buzzard affects the reproductive performance of Asian‐hornet colonies, decreasing the density of workers over distance and time. The foraging distances of the honey‐buzzard concentrates within the first 2000 m from nest, which supports the results observed.

Nanofiltration Membranes for High‐Selectivity Separation of Li+ and Mg2+ From Salt Lake Brines: Strategies, Challenges, and Perspectives

Rare Metals, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Against the backdrop of global clean energy transition and surging demand for lithium resources, lithium extraction from salt lakes presents unprecedented development opportunities. Nanofiltration (NF) membrane technology, recognized for its efficiency, energy savings, and environmental benefits, demonstrates significant application potential ...

From 0D to 3D liquid crystal elastomers architectures: Fabrications and applications

Responsive Materials, EarlyView.
This review presents a dimension‐oriented overview of liquid crystal elastomers (LCEs), highlighting their molecular alignment, fabrication strategies, and programmable deformations from 0D particles to 3D architectures. Emphasis is placed on how dimensionality guides design principles, enables diverse actuation modes, and bridges fundamental ...

Comparing the Velocity Spectrum Caused by the Presence of Circular Urban Subway Tunnels With Free-Field Conditions

Shock and Vibration
For structures in the near field, the velocity spectrum is significant. The aim of this study is to examine, taking into account the soil–structure interaction (SSI), how metropolitan subway tunnels with a circular cross section in alluvial soils affect ...

Extended Strahler Ordering to Distinguish Mapped River Channels From Overland Flow Pathways and Consistently Compare Digital Networks

River Research and Applications, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Digital networks are virtual representations of freshwater systems that provide important inputs to, and mapping of, river classifications, simulation models, and quantitative data analyses for policy, planning, and management. Strahler order has often been used to characterize network configuration and as a proxy indicator of river channel ...
