Mechanistic Origin of Photodegradation and Impurity Effects in Donor–Acceptor Luminescent Radicals

Advanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.
Purification‐dependent impurities distort the apparent optical and analytical data of TTM‐based radicals without altering their intrinsic photophysical properties. Carbazole attachment elevates the activation barrier of the photodegradation pathway, offering design principles for achieving more robust luminescent radical materials.

The Optimal Temperature of Ecosystem Respiration Homogenizes Under Global Warming

Earth's Future
Terrestrial ecosystem respiration (ER) is a key component of the carbon cycle and is highly temperature sensitive. While ER is often modeled as an exponential function of temperature, recent evidence shows that ER exhibits an optimal temperature (Topt ...

Grassland restoration in northern China is far from complete: evidence from carbon variation in the last three decades

Ecosphere, 2017
Ecosystem restoration requires considering both above‐ground biomass (AGB) and soils, and the latter is even more essential due to the importance and restoration difficulty of soil organic matter (SOM).

Tropical forest degradation in the context of climate change: increasing role and research challenges. [K-2215-01] [PDF]

, 2015
While developed countries in temperate regions faced their forest transition about 100 years ago or more, “tropical forest rich” nations still largely depend on forest resources or land clearing for their development.

TreeSpider: In‐Canopy Exploration With Tether‐Based Aerial Modular Arms

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
A tethered drone with perching arms and a 360° ring enables unprecedented maneuverability within dense forest canopies. By dynamically adjusting tether length and decoupling pitch from the frame, it navigates between branches, senses multiple trees, and interacts physically with foliage.
