Coupling Water Purification and Carbon Sequestration at Various Spatial Scales From Supply and Demand Perspective

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Balancing ecosystem‐service supply and demand is central to understanding both the natural and social dimensions of ecosystem services and to enhancing human well‐beings. Concurrently, collaborative efforts are underway to improve multiple ecosystem services, including the promotion of carbon neutrality and water purification (WP) within basin

Long‐Term Straw Returning Combined With Mineral Fertilization Enhances Soil Quality but Elevates P Loss Risks in a Subtropical Rice–Wheat Rotation System, Central China

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Long‐term straw returning is widely promoted to improve soil quality in intensive cropping systems, yet its combined effects with mineral fertilization on soil quality and phosphorus (P) loss risks remain unclear. Using a 16‐year field experiment in a rice–wheat rotation system, we evaluated the impacts of straw returning (S), NPK ...

Failure Investigation of Alloy 625 Sockolets After Prolonged Service in an Ammonia Cracker Unit

Materials and Corrosion, EarlyView.
The failure of the sockolets was caused by intergranular cracking and fracture. The thick and highly brittle nitrided layer formed intergranular surface cracks, which propagated along grain boundaries into the base alloy substrate due to the presence of brittle Cr‐rich carbides. ABSTRACT Several sockolets of Alloy 625 operating at 540°C in contact with

Characterising fine‐scale habitat associations for range expanding species with limited data: a case study on the West Nile Virus vector, Culex modestus

Oikos, EarlyView.
The ecological and epidemiological consequences of species expanding into new areas are growing concomitantly with climate change. Those aiming to monitor species expanding in range must make optimal use of finite resources to deliver effective surveillance capable of detecting new incursions and range expansions.

Automated Lawn Maintenance: An Agronomic and Operational Review of Turf Health, Biodiversity, and Field Performance

Journal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Grass mowing is one of the most resource‐consuming activities in green maintenance, whether in private areas such as home gardens or in public spaces like urban parks. In recent years, concerns related to climate change, human health, and sustainability have become increasingly prominent in green maintenance, leading manufacturers and industry
