Field‐based individual plant phenotyping of herbaceous species by unmanned aerial vehicle
Recent advances in Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAVs) and image processing have made high‐throughput field phenotyping possible at plot/canopy level in the mass grown experiment. Such techniques are now expected to be used for individual level phenotyping in

Titanium ions promote tomato growth and increase stress resistance
Background Titanium ions can significantly promote plant growth and increase crop yield, yet the underlying mechanism remains an enigma. This study investigated the effect of titanium ions on tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) by foliar spraying and root ...

What Are Ecosystem Services? [PDF]
This paper advocates consistently defined units of account to measure the contributions of nature to human welfare. We argue that such units have to date not been defined by environmental accounting advocates and that the term “ecosystem services” is too

Valuing ecosystem services: A new paradigm shift [PDF]
The ways in which economists value natural resources has been, and continues to be, a constantly evolving process. At first, only transactions that took place in the marketplace were considered.

A major strength of the ecosystem services (ESS) concept is that it allows a succinct description of how human well-being depends on nature, showing that the neglect of such dependencies has negative consequences on human well-being and the economy. As ESS refer to human needs and interests, values are to be considered when dealing with the concept in ...

Cross‐Linking Matters: Atomistic Simulations of the Thermal Degradation of Polymethylsiloxanes
Atomistic simulations reveal how cross‐linking of polysiloxanes governs degradation pathways, gas evolution, and mass retention. Abstract Utilizing an advanced machine‐learning interatomic potential (MLIP) for Si─C─O─H, the thermal breakdown of polysiloxanes covering polymers from linear polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) to highly networked ...
