Melt Processing of Cellulose Acetate for Controlled Release Applications – A Review

open access: yesMacromolecular Materials and Engineering, EarlyView.
This review presents recent developments in the melt‐processing of cellulose acetate (CA). Factors affecting the processability, biodegradability, and mechanical performance of CA are also summarized. Plasticizers, bio‐based polymers (PLA, PBAT & PHBV), and clay nanoparticles are also examined toward enhancing the melt processability and mechanical ...

The impact of gigafire on vegetation structure, terrestrial vertebrate abundance and diel activity

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
Fire regimes are shifting around the world due to climate and land‐use change, resulting in an increased frequency of large and severe wildfires. However, the impact of extreme wildfire events on animal species remains poorly understood. Particularly lacking is an understanding of how fire affects animal behaviour.

Limited impacts of simulated soil disturbance by rewilded vertebrates on above‐ and below‐ground biodiversity

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
Rewilding with locally extinct terrestrial vertebrates has been a popular conservation initiative over the past few decades. Among the animals used for rewilding are the small‐ to medium‐sized vertebrates that forage in the soil and that have been lost from many ecosystems due to habitat destruction or predation by exotic species.
