Herbivore and mesocarnivore carcasses trigger divergent short‐term changes in soil properties

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
Scavengers reshape nutrient cycles in soils under carrion. Compared to herbivore carcasses, smaller but longer‐lasting carnivore remains boost nutrient levels and microbial activity in dry soils. Abstract Animal corpses act as pulses of organic matter (OM) and serve a key zoogeochemical role by providing localized nutrient inputs to soils and thereby ...

Startup Characteristics of Dredging Thermal Protection Structures

气体物理
Dredging thermal protection, as a semi-active thermal protection method, is characterized by its simple structure and the absence of the need to carry additional coolants, making it suitable for the leading edge thermal protection of hypersonic vehicles.

Sediment Resuspension and Deposition on Seagrass Leaves Impedes Internal Plant Aeration and Promotes Phytotoxic H2S Intrusion

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2017
HIGHLIGHTS:Sedimentation of fine sediment particles onto seagrass leaves severely hampers the plants' performance in both light and darkness, due to inadequate internal plant aeration and intrusion of phytotoxic H2S.Anthropogenic activities leading to ...

Native habitat affinities predict fish invasions with post‐invasion habitat shifts

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
Initial invasion success is gated by native pre‐adaptations, but post‐invasion establishment is characterized by habitat shifts. We demonstrate that forecasting risk based solely on native niches severely underestimates future ecological impacts, and we provide an empirically validated watchlist of future invaders.

Optimization Design of a Winch Suction Underwater Dredging Robot Using Orthogonal Experimental Design

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering
In marine engineering and water conservancy projects, dredging often occurs due to silt accumulation, which can impede the long-term development of water ecosystems and water storage systems. To enhance dredging efficiency and the performance of dredging

Fine‐scale spatial variation in eastern grey squirrel melanism across a complex urban landscape

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
By sampling 197 parks, the study demonstrates how natural geography creates divergence within cities. The findings reveal that the St. Lawrence River and its tributaries act as barriers, disrupting urban melanism clines in grey squirrels. Ultimately, the research indicates that natural features still dictate evolutionary rules in anthropogenic ...

Decoupling sustainability and performance: How government infrastructure projects in Australia fare on strategic environmental commitments

Australian Journal of Public Administration, EarlyView.
Abstract Australian government organisations are pivotal in helping to meet the United Nations sustainable development goals. Yet while these organisations promote sustainability in their strategic plans, they struggle to embed these same commitments into their own infrastructure and construction projects. This study examines this persistent disconnect

Study on the Performance of Bi₂O₃/BiOBr_γI_x Adsorptive Photocatalyst for Removal of 2,4-Dichlorophenoxyacetic Acid

Separations
In this study, a novel Bi2O3/BiOBr0.9I0.1 (BO0.9−BBI0.1) composite photocatalyst was successfully synthesized via a single-pot solvothermal method for the efficient degradation of 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) under visible light. The structure,

Sustainable Development Goals Applied to the Maritime Transportation Sector: Setting Sail for the Future

Natural Resources Forum, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development aims to eradicate poverty, protect the environment, and promote prosperity through 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Achieving these goals requires a multi‐sectoral approach. Maritime transportation, vital to the global economy, significantly contributes to several SDGs and plays a strategic ...
