Vertical Farm Versus Glasshouse: Comparative Analysis of Growth, Antioxidants, and Volatile Profiles in Four Basil Varieties

open access: yesPlant-Environment Interactions, Volume 7, Issue 5, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Global population growth and climate change are placing unprecedented pressure on food systems, threatening crop productivity and nutritional quality. Vertical farming, as a form of totally controlled‐environment agriculture, offers an innovative approach to optimizing plant growth and enhancing the quality of high‐value crops such as basil ...

Almond Shell‐Derived Cellulosic Microfibres: Extraction, Characterisation and Applications in Sustainable Paper‐Based Packaging

open access: yesPackaging Technology and Science, Volume 39, Issue 10, Page 1231-1251, October 2026.
Cellulosic microfibres were extracted from almond shells using organosolv, soda and kraft processes, and comprehensive physicochemical, surface, thermal and morphological characterisation demonstrated their strong potential as sustainable fillers for paper‐based packaging application. ABSTRACT This study develops pathways for the valorisation of almond

Substrate‐Dependent Variation in Environmental DNA Persistence and Degradation From a Small Mammal

open access: yesMolecular Ecology Resources, Volume 26, Issue 7, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Environmental DNA (eDNA) analyses have been applied to terrestrial environments for over a decade, yet knowledge of the dynamics of eDNA deposition, movement and degradation remains limited. To address this, we conducted a controlled experiment over 1 year to assess the persistence of eDNA from an arboreal mammal across four substrates (water,

Extensive Use of Ageing Fence Poles in a Protected Area in South Africa by Reptiles and Birds

open access: yesAfrican Journal of Ecology, Volume 64, Issue 7, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Formal protected area management often requires fences and roads, and these can have negative impacts on animals. During many visits to Ndumo Game Reserve, in northwestern KwaZulu‐Natal, South Africa, the authors noticed substantial numbers of several species of reptiles and birds using the older fence posts along the southern boundary road ...

A framework for maximizing the benefit from retaining regrowth on private land

open access: yesConservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 5, October 2026.
Abstract Conservation interventions often have lower‐than‐desired positive impacts, as revealed by retrospective counterfactual‐based evaluations. To address this, a prospective counterfactual‐based approach can be used to estimate potential benefits and design conservation interventions to maximize outcomes. We developed a framework for estimating the
