Is landscape a driver of short-term wildfire recurrence [PDF]

, 2013
Repeated burning in a short return period (< 3–5 years) may significantly contribute to land degradation in Mediterranean countries. We apply logistic regression analysis to model spatial relationships between reburning and site (topographic) and ...

Australian fire weather variability using calibrated long-term reanalysis data

Discover Environment
Spatiotemporal variability on multi-decadal time scales can be observed in weather conditions associated with wildfires. The climatic factors that drive this variability in fire weather conditions have been studied using bias-corrected 20th Century ...

Effects of fire frequency on litter decomposition as mediated by changes to litter chemistry and soil environmental conditions.

PLoS ONE, 2017
Litter quality and soil environmental conditions are well-studied drivers influencing decomposition rates, but the role played by disturbance legacy, such as fire history, in mediating these drivers is not well understood.

Advanced Separators for Liquid and Quasi‐Solid Lithium Rechargeable Batteries: Design and Development

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
This review traces the evolution of lithium‐ion battery separators from passive barriers to multifunctional components central to cell safety and performance. Polymer‐ceramic hybrids, nanofiber architectures, and bio‐derived membranes deliver ionic conductivities above 3 mS cm−1, thermal stability beyond 200 °C, and effective suppression of lithium ...

Closed‐loop Recycling of Sulfide Solid Electrolytes from Spent Solid‐State Sodium Batteries

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Closed‐loop recycling of sulfide solid electrolyte via a mild dissolution–recrystallization–thermal treatment process enables efficient recovery from spent all‐solid‐state sodium batteries. The regenerated material preserves the crystal structure, local coordination, and chemical states, maintaining high ionic conductivity, reduced interfacial ...
