Multi‐Scale Bionic Structure Constructs Biomass Flame‐Retardant Thermal Insulation Foam Material
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Inspired by mussel adhesion and hierarchical brick‐and‐mortar architectures, a cellulose‐based biomimetic foam is constructed by anchoring bentonite nanosheets onto a polydopamine‐decorated cellulose nanofiber network. The resulting foam combines low thermal conductivity with intrinsic flame retardancy and full biodegradability, presenting a ...

Geomechanics and Geophysics for Geo-Energy and Geo-ResourcesCoal fires are major disasters associated with mining that severely damage regional ecosystems. Composite amendments effectively restore coal fire areas ecologically, but their mechanisms for driving the recovery of soil microbial communities remain ...

Effects of Fire Frequency Regimes on Flammability and Leaf Economics of Non-Graminoid Vegetation
Fire, 2023 Fire is an ecological factor that strongly influences plant communities and functional traits. Communities respond differently to fire, either decreasing or increasing in flammability and resource acquisition strategies.

American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.Abstract Premise Desert plant assemblages in southern California provide an opportunity to link patterns of community structure with climate‐driven vulnerability in a rapidly changing environment. California sustains an exceptionally diverse flora of approximately 4300 plant species, with 31% identified as endemic.
