Learning Strategies from Nature's Blueprint to Cyclic Carbonate Synthesis

open access: yesChemSusChem, Volume 18, Issue 6, March 15, 2025.
The development of sustainable synthetic methods for cyclic carbonates draws inspiration from nature, focusing on eco‐friendly processes and renewable resources like CO2 and biomass. This review explore various CO2 activation mechanisms, green chemistry principles, and green catalysts.

70 Years of observational weather data show increasing fire danger for boreal Europe and reveal bias of ERA5 reanalysed data

open access: yesScientific Reports
Retrospective analyses of fire danger typically use reanalysed data, but its relation to observed fire danger is not well researched. Here we use daily weather observations to calculate fire danger for nine weather stations in Sweden, spanning 1100 km N ...

Developing a macroecology for human‐altered ecosystems

open access: yesEcography, EarlyView.
Although anthropogenically‐induced ecological disruptions are fundamentally important in defining ecosystem properties, they are largely overlooked by macroecological theory. Anthropogenic disruptions and their effects are generally not comparable to one another, nor to disturbances that are part of natural disturbance regimes.

Non‐stationary forest responses to hotter droughts: a temporal perspective considering the role of past legacies

open access: yesEcography, EarlyView.
Global change is altering forests worldwide, with multiple consequences for ecosystem functioning. Temporal changes in climate, and extreme, compounded weather events like hotter droughts are affecting the demography, composition and function of forests, leading to a highly uncertain future.

Powerful yet challenging: mechanistic niche models for predicting invasive species potential distribution under climate change

open access: yesEcography, EarlyView.
Risk assessments of invasive species present one of the most challenging applications of species distribution models (SDMs) due to the fundamental issues of distributional disequilibrium, niche changes, and truncation. Invasive species often occupy only a fraction of their potential environmental and geographic ranges, as their spatiotemporal dynamics ...

Lagged responses in the composition of small mammal communities to a century of climate change

open access: yesEcography, EarlyView.
Climate change has widespread effects on the distribution, abundance and behavior of species around the world, leading to the reshuffling of ecological communities. However, it remains unclear whether individual species' range shifts scale up to result in communities whose rate of change lag, lead, or track the rate of climate change. We capitalized on

Long unobserved and recently discovered: towards a better understanding of protected‐area species dynamics using curated species lists

open access: yesEcography, EarlyView.
Protected areas are designed to shield populations from harmful human impacts. However, in the face of global climate change, a static approach to conservation within these areas is neither feasible nor desirable. One key measure of ecological change at this scale is the arrival of new species and the local extinction of others. Despite strong interest

Towards Integrated Fire Management: Strengthening Forest Fire Legislation and Policies in the Andean Community of Nations

open access: yesFire
This study analyzes forest fire legislation and policies in the Andean Community of Nations (ACN)—Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, and Bolivia—focusing on prevention and control.

Historia del fuego y la vegetación en una secuencia holocena del Pirineo central: la Basa de la Mora

open access: yesCuadernos de Investigación Geográfica, 2013
The importance of studying past fire regimes is derived from the need to understand the effects of current Global Change on present and future fire activity.

Multifunctional Organic and Inorganic Composite Coating for Outdoor Droplet Energy Collection and Water Quality Monitoring

open access: yesENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
The difluoropyridine‐based benzoxazine (BA‐fa) was synthesized through a Mannich reaction, and a MoO3‐doped PBA‐fa complex layered DEG was fabricated using an ultrasonic spray coating method, which can not only generate electricity in rainy days but also effectively prevent fires on building roofs, self‐cleaning the surface of buildings on rainy days ...
