Pesticides and Ecosystems

BioScience, 1982
More than 500,000 tons of pesticides are produced annually for application in US agroecosystems to control insect pests, plant pathogens, and weeds (USDA 1980). As little as 1% of this may actually hit the target organisms (PSAC 1965). Instead, most reaches nontarget sectors of agroecosystems and/or spreads to surrounding ecosystems as chemical ...

Herbivores Enforce Sharp Boundaries Between Terrestrial and Aquatic Ecosystems

, 2014
The transitions between ecosystems (ecotones) are often biodiversity hotspots, but we know little about the forces that shape them. Today, often sharp boundaries with low diversity are found between terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems.

Supporting AI Readiness Through Digital Workflows in Materials Science

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Digitalization drives innovation in materials science by connecting data silos and turning heterogeneous processes into reusable research pipelines. Across 13 MaterialDigital projects, digital workflows reveal complementary pathways toward AI‐ready materials research, founded on structured data, persistent artifacts, executable orchestration, and ...

Laser‐Induced Graphene from Waste Almond Shells

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Almond shells, an abundant agricultural by‐product, are repurposed to create a fully bioderived almond shell/chitosan composite (ASC) degradable in soil. ASC is converted into laser‐induced graphene (LIG) by laser scribing and proposed as a substrate for transient electronics.

The structure of ecosystems

Journal of Theoretical Biology, 1973
Abstract Input-output theory is developed for an ecosystem in terms of production and respiration energy flows. The theory reveals a “structure” of the system by demonstrating the direct and indirect energy flow dependence of each member of the system upon the others. A method for tracing the direct and indirect element flows through the ecosystem is

Fully Additive Vertical Organic Electrochemical Transistors on Renewable and Compostable Substrates Enable Ultrasensitive Bioelectronics

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Fully additive vertical organic electrochemical transistors (vOECTs) with channel‐length of 226 nm on a 50 µm compostable substrate achieve >106 current modulation and ∼36 mS transconductance. Ion‐selective integration enables 1.1 mA dec−1 sensitivity and 36 µm detection limit, highlighting a scalable platform for sustainable electronics and ...

Managing specific freshwater ecosystems [PDF]

, 2018
A number of relatively simple changes to the way Protected Areas (PAs) are designed and managed can help to further improve their conservation benefits for surface- and ground-water-dependent freshwater ecosystems and estuaries.
