Fire responses of bushland plants after the January 1994 wildfires in northern Sydney [PDF]

, 2013
In early January 1994 wildfires burned areas of bushland in northern Sydney (lat 33° 45’ S, long 151° 05’ E) in coastal south-eastern Australia. This paper reports observations of the fire responses for 828 species of bushland plants – 576 native species

Capacitive Pixelated CMOS Electronic Nose

Advanced Electronic Materials, EarlyView.
A 1024‐pixel CMOS capacitive E‐nose with inkjet‐printed MOFs and polymer layers yields gas‐specific capacitance fingerprints under humid conditions, discriminating toluene from 2‐butanone at low power. ABSTRACT Although some of the human senses can nowadays be replaced by low‐cost electronic sensors such as microphones and image sensors, a compact low ...

Fire risk and smallholders in the Brazilian Amazon: why have institutional arrangements failed so far? [PDF]

, 2013
In the Brazilian Amazon, uncontrolled fire is one of the main drivers of forest degradation leading to important loss of biodiversity and ecosystem services (ES). Smallholders are often considered as the main actors responsible for these damages, as they

Farmers’ Protests in Germany: Media Coverage and Types of Bias

Agribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The German farmers’ protests of 2024 sparked widespread media coverage and public debate. Yet, media coverage was not always positive, reflecting the media's attention‐seeking and selective focus. Occurrences of farmers blocking media outlets reflected distrust in how their concerns were portrayed.
