Differential aridity-induced variations in ecosystem multifunctionality between Iberian Pinus and Quercus Mediterranean forests

Ecological Indicators
Forests deliver multiple ecosystem functions and services (i.e. multifunctionality) of great importance to society. However, such multifunctionality capacity is threatened by global warming, especially in Mediterranean forests, which are at high risk of ...

Dominance of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi is key for Mongolian steppe management under livestock grazing, as indicated by ecosystem multifunctionality

Ecological Indicators, 2022
Livestock grazing of drylands supports millions of livelihoods worldwide; however, overgrazing causes severe biodiversity loss and degrades ecosystem functions.

Unlocking Photodetection Mode Switching from a Simple Lateral Design

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A simple lateral 2D perovskite photodetector capable of switching among transient, continuous, and dual transient/continuous photoresponse modes is achieved by integrating photoconductive effects with capacitive coupling from the SiO2/Si substrate. Such light‐programmable photodetection mode switching enables triple‐channel information transmission and

Design Strategies and Emerging Applications of High‐Performance Flexible Piezoresistive Pressure Sensors

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Flexible piezoresistive pressure sensors underpin wearable and soft electronics. This review links sensing physics, including contact resistance modulation, quantum tunneling and percolation, to unified materials/structure design. We highlight composite and graded architectures, interfacial/porous engineering, and microstructured 3D conductive networks

Nature quality in organic farming: A conceptual analysis of considerations and criteria in a European context [PDF]

, 2004
Nature quality in relation to farming is a complex field. It involves different traditions and interests, different views of what nature is, and different ways of valuing nature.

Locally rare species influence grassland ecosystem multifunctionality [PDF]

Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2016
Species diversity promotes the delivery of multiple ecosystem functions (multifunctionality). However, the relative functional importance of rare and common species in driving the biodiversity–multifunctionality relationship remains unknown. We studied the relationship between the diversity of rare and common species (according to their local ...

Thermo‐Fluorescent Bactericidal Quantum Dots Based Smart Multifunctional Textiles via Molecular Surface Engineering and 3D‐Printed Interlocked Architectures

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
A versatile approach is presented for fabricating smart multifunctional textiles by integrating thermo‐fluorescent carbon dot/polymer nanocomposite coatings with 3D‐printed interlocked architectures. The fabrics exhibit temperature‐responsive fluorescence, durable hydrophobicity, strong antibacterial and antioxidant activity, and enhanced UV protection.

Biotic homogenization can decrease landscape-scale forest multifunctionality. [PDF]

, 2016
Many experiments have shown that local biodiversity loss impairs the ability of ecosystems to maintain multiple ecosystem functions at high levels (multifunctionality).
