Correcting Apparent Priming Bias Unveils Fertilizer Nitrogen‐Risk Archetypes of Surplus and Depletion Across Asian Rice Systems

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Correcting the apparent priming effect resolves systematic biases in Asian rice fertilizer nitrogen accounting. Net soil retention drops below 7%, while 48% of fertilizer escapes, inflicting US$98.53 billion in annual reactive‐nitrogen damages. High‐resolution mapping uncovers N‐risk archetypes across 42% of the rice area, delivering a spatially ...

Degradation Mechanism of Phosphate‐Based Li‐NASICON Conductors in Alkaline Environment

open access: yesAdvanced Energy Materials, Volume 15, Issue 11, March 18, 2025.
The presence of water in the cathode of a Li‐air battery shifts reactions to produce LiOH, creating a corrosive, alkaline environment. This study investigates the alkaline stability of the common Li‐NASICON solid‐state conductor chemistries through a systematic experimental study combined with computational modeling to understand the degradation ...

Engineering Na‐Rich P2‐Type Layered Oxides Through Li/Ti Dual Doping for Oxygen Redox Activation and Superior Structural Stability

open access: yesAdvanced Energy Materials, EarlyView.
P2‐type sodium layered oxides have potential for high‐voltage operation but suffer from structural instability and capacity fading. This work demonstrates that synergistic Li and Ti co‐doping enhances sodium inventory, suppresses detrimental phase transitions, and activates reversible lattice oxygen redox.

Understanding farmer preferences and trade-offs for adopting sustainable crop production: a systematic review

open access: yesDiscover Sustainability
Despite the potential benefits of sustainable agricultural practices and their positive effects on the environment and sustainable food systems, adoption levels have remained relatively low. To better understand the underlying issues, this study conducts

Toward a comprehensive analysis of pesticide use in Cambodian rice farming and identification of levers for its reduction

open access: yesCahiers Agricultures
This article reports on pesticide use in rice production by 210 farmers across seven provinces in Cambodia along a gradient of intensification defined by the number of rice crops per year.

Ultra‐Low‐Strain Calcium and Magnesium Ion Storage Enabled by Tunnel‐Structured MoO3 Positive Electrode

open access: yesAdvanced Energy Materials, EarlyView.
A hexagonal tunnel‐structured MoO3 is nanoparticulated via hydrothermal synthesis followed by ball‐milling. As a positive electrode in Ca and Mg batteries, it delivers superior capacity and structural reversibility, enabling divalent cation intercalation with minimal lattice distortion and no phase transitions.

To what extent is coastal wetland biodiversity endangered by climate change? How can we boost the resilience of coastal ecosystems? [PDF]

open access: yesNature Conservation
Global projections indicate that between 20% and 90% of current coastal wetland areas may be lost due to sea-level rise (SLR), depending on the severity of the scenario. Warming, acidification and other global change stressors such as eutrophication also

What Are Ecosystem Services? [PDF]

open access: yes
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
