Succession stages‐dependent shifts in grassland community stability from asynchrony to population stability mediated by nitrogen enrichment

open access: yesEcography, EarlyView.
Understanding the stability dynamics of naturally occurring grassland succession under nutrient enrichment is crucial for effective ecosystem management. We carried out an 11‐year field experiment to examine how grassland community stability responds to nitrogen (N) enrichment across the three successional stages (early‐, mid‐ and late‐successional ...

Spatial and Temporal Variability of Rainfall Erosivity in the Niyang River Basin

open access: yesAtmosphere
Rainfall erosivity is a crucial factor in the evaluation of soil erosion, significantly influencing the complex relationships among water, soil, and the environment. Understanding its attributes and variations in space and time is essential for effective

Thermochromic Radiative Cooling Coatings with Robust Superhydrophobicity for Energy‐Efficient Buildings

open access: yesENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
A scalable, color‐adaptive radiative cooling coating is developed to enable dynamic spectral regulation via a reversible thermochromic transition at ~45 °C and a high solar reflectance of 91.7%. The coating achieves 4.44 °C outdoor sub‐ambient cooling while providing robust superhydrophobicity and environmental durability through its micro/nano ...

Soil organic matter and mineral content as crucial factors for the fate of tetracycline in soils

open access: yesEnvironmental Progress &Sustainable Energy, EarlyView.
Abstract Soil self‐cleaning ability and bioavailability of different pollutants are strongly dependent on the soil properties. It is not easy to determine effects of individual soil characteristics because they can impact together often in a synergic effect.

Catastrophic ice lake collapse in Aram Chaos, Mars

open access: yes, 2014
Hesperian chaotic terrains have been recognized as the source of outflow channels formed by catastrophic outflows. Four main scenarios have been proposed for the formation of chaotic terrains that involve different amounts of water and single or multiple

Caught in the fire: An accidental ethnography of discomfort in researching sex work

open access: yesFeminist Anthropology, EarlyView.
Abstract Drawing on fifteen years of engagement with researching Israel's sex industry, this article uses accidental ethnography to propose discomfort‐as‐method for feminist anthropology. I argue that discomfort is not a by‐product of fieldwork but a constitutive condition that disciplines researchers and shapes what can be known.

Potencial erosivo e características das chuvas de São Gabriel, RS, de 1963 a 1993 Erosive potential and rainfall characteristics of São Gabriel, RS, Brazil, from 1963 to 1993

open access: yesRevista Brasileira de Engenharia Agrícola e Ambiental, 2013
Conhecer a erosividade da chuva é fundamental para ações de controle da erosão em cada região, devido à sua alta variabilidade temporal e espacial. O objetivo deste trabalho foi determinar a erosividade, os padrões hidrológicos, o coeficiente de chuvas e
