Residual effects of glyphosate herbicide in ecological restoration

open access: yes, 2005
This study assesses the risks in ecological restoration arising from transplanting into soil containing glyphosate residues. Four Australian restoration species were grown for 60 days in nonadsorbing media treated continuously with glyphosate to ...

Atmospheric Water Harvesting Through Polymer Hydrogel Sorbents: Materials Chemistry, Design Strategies, and Applications

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Polymer‐based hydrogels have emerged as promising materials for atmospheric water harvesting (AWH) due to their high water affinity, tunable network structure, and excellent moisture adsorption‐desorption performance. Functional hydrogel systems enable efficient water capture and controlled release under low‐energy conditions, offering a sustainable ...

Managing for post-disturbance recovery. Lessons from active and passive restoration approaches in mountain forests.

open access: yes
When large and severe disturbances affect mountain forests, their ability to provide fundamental ecosystem services may be impaired for a long time. Indeed, in the Alps, forested slopes exert a crucial protective function and rapidly restoring the forest

Constrained Forest Methane Sink by Thermal Adaptation of Soil Methanotrophs

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Climate warming can stimulate methanotroph‐mediated CH4 oxidation in forest soils, thereby mitigating the increase in atmospheric CH4 concentrations. By integrating evidence from a macro‐climatic thermal gradient and a 70‐day incubation experiment, this study demonstrates that microbial methanotrophs can adapt to long‐term temperature changes at the ...

Static and Dynamic Properties of Organic Soils Stabilized with Nano-Silica and Sand

open access: yesApplied Sciences
The stabilization of soft, organic-rich soils with cement is often hindered by retarded hydration and poor long-term performance under cyclic loads. While nano-silica or sand are known modifiers, their individual efficacy in high-organic environments ...

Ecological Restoration across Landscapes of Politics, Policy, and Property

open access: yes, 2012
Humanity - society and its institutions - plays a key role in the future viability of the biosphere. Only by managing ourselves, our resource consumption, our waste, our economies and environment as a whole, can we hope to "manage" the environment and ...

Oral Nanomicelle‐Mediated Sequential Butyrate Production in the Intestine for Ulcerative Colitis and Immunosuppression Treatment

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
After oral administration, inodorous GLU‐BA self‐assembles into nanomicelles in aqueous environments to resist premature gastric adsorption. Upon reaching the intestine, endogenous esterases rapidly cleave the built‐in ester bonds in these nanomicelles to release BA and GLU, with GLU further metabolized by gut microbiota to gradually generate BA ...

Osseoperceptive EMG Feedback Improves Grasp Force Control in Myoelectric Prosthetic Hands

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Osseoperception is explored as a non‐invasive pathway for delivering sensory feedback in myoelectric prosthetic control. By encoding the user's electromyographic (EMG) signal through bone‐conducted stimulation, this approach enables predictive grasp force regulation.
