Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Soil degradation compromises ecosystem functioning. Biochar, a carbon‐rich amendment, has gained attention as a promising strategy to enhance soil structure and restore microbial balance. This study investigated the effects of two biochars, cashew bagasse biochar (CBB) and a co‐pyrolyzed biochar produced from sewage sludge and cashew pruning ...

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Coal remains a major global energy source despite ongoing environmental controversies, particularly, regarding climate change and landscape transformation. This study investigates the spatiotemporal dynamics of land use and land cover (LULC) in the Moatize Coal Basin (MCB), Mozambique, between 1990 and 2024, with a specific focus on land ...

Frozen Differential Scattering in Reconfigurable Complex Media
Laser &Photonics Reviews, EarlyView.A localized perturbation universally results in a rank‐one update of the scattering matrix of any complex medium. The resulting differential output wavefront is “frozen”: its spatial pattern is fixed (agnostic to the input wavefront). Experiments with a programmable‐metasurface‐parametrized wireless link validate frozen differential scattering and ...

International Journal of Mechanical System Dynamics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Digitalization and emerging technologies are increasing the demand for wireless sensing and the Internet of Things (IoT), which provide opportunities for autonomous sources of electricity in the form of energy harvesting systems. This paper focuses on the challenges in hybrid piezoelectric‐electromagnetic kinetic energy harvesting systems that

A Surrogate Model for Stability Assessment of Two‐Layered Cohesive Slopes
International Journal for Numerical and Analytical Methods in Geomechanics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This paper introduces a novel surrogate model for rapid stability evaluation of two‐layered cohesive slopes under undrained conditions. The model eliminates the need for iterative calculations and slip surface searches, allowing for fast and accurate stability assessments without reliance on advanced numerical tools. The formulation is derived

Establishing Reciprocity as A Dimension of Nonprofit Entrepreneurial Orientation
Nonprofit Management and Leadership, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This study introduces and characterizes reciprocity as a distinct sixth dimension of entrepreneurial orientation (EO) within nonprofit organizations (NPOs), specifically Brazilian Medical Associations (BMAs). Through a qualitative exploratory study using 16 BMAs as units of analysis and data from 11 in‐depth interviews with nonprofit sector ...

People and Nature, EarlyView.Abstract Amid increasing urbanisation and biodiversity decline, ‘effective stewardship’ of urban green space (UGS) is a complex but critical nature‐based solution for long‐term environmental, social and economic gain. Combining stewardship and sense‐of‐place frameworks with European nature‐based solutions guidance, we investigate which social and ...

The visible and invisible drivers of biocultural loss in the Amazon
People and Nature, EarlyView.Abstract The Amazon is rapidly approaching an ecological tipping point driven by deforestation, forest degradation and global climate change. These are visible issues that receive increasing political and public attention. However, the accelerating biocultural loss in the Amazon, including the extinction of Indigenous languages, the disruption of ...

People and Nature, EarlyView.Abstract Biological invasions are a major driver of biodiversity loss, yet inconspicuous or “cryptic” species often escape detection and public awareness, limiting management responses. We investigated the freshwater jellyfish Craspedacusta sowerbii, likely native to China and now present on six continents, through a 22‐month multilingual online survey
