Cryostratigraphy of Rhythmic Segregated Ice in Colluvium and Implications for Permafrost Slope Stability

open access: yesPermafrost and Periglacial Processes, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The amount and stratigraphic setting of ground ice in permafrost slopes is a key control on the style and magnitude of permafrost mass wasting. Understanding the spatial and stratigraphic variations in ground ice distribution on permafrost slopes is therefore a fundamental property in assessing the stability of permafrost hillslopes.

Biodiversity science is improved when silent herbaria speak

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Herbaria in the Global South are critical yet underutilized resources for biodiversity science and often absent from international databases and research networks. We highlight the phenomenon of “silent herbaria” using Nigeria as a case study and quantify how these collections fill important gaps in global biodiversity knowledge.

Landless peasants, soilless cultivation: British agricultural experimentation and intervention in post‐independence Iraq (1932–1958)

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
‘Greening’ is often depicted as an inherently benevolent practice, turning arid stretches of land into arable and fertile plots. However, by considering a longer history of place and taking archival records into account, such transformations are rendered more complex and, often, more fraught.

Towards an evidence‐based and research‐driven restoration strategy for Britain's temperate rainforests

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Woodlands globally are threatened by environmental change and biodiversity loss. Temperate rainforests are an ecologically rich ecosystem found in wet regions of the temperate zone, and Britain has the potential for major temperate rainforest coverage in its nature‐depleted landscape.

A Study on Preventing Thermal Runaway of Contaminated Ammonium Nitrate Prill in Bulk Storage

open access: yesPropellants, Explosives, Pyrotechnics, EarlyView.
Schematic illustration of a contaminated region of ammonium nitrate prill undergoing exothermic decomposition, producing gases containing NOx. The interstitial flow of these heated gases rapidly raises the temperature of ammonium nitrate along the flow path.
