Climate Change Threatens Micronutrient Density of European Winter Wheat

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Micronutrients are vital for human health. Wheat is a major staple crop and a significant source of minerals and B‐vitamins. The impact of climate change on their content remains largely unknown. We evaluated micronutrient levels in European winter wheat grown under historical and projected climate conditions. Our findings indicate that future climates

Flood hazard mapping by integrating airborne laser scanning data, high resolution images and large scale maps: a case study [PDF]

, 2012
The assessment and management of flood risks framework impose the mapping of flood hazard in potential flood risks areas. Floods in urban environments may happen due to rainfall extreme events and be exacerbated by saturated or impervious surfaces. Flood

An Increasing Misalignment Between Crop Distribution and Environmental Resources Under Climate Change in China

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Climate change reshapes the spatial alignment between crop production and environmental resources. Using multi‐source data and a crop model, integrated climatic, water, and soil endowments for maize and wheat are quantified and compared with harvest distributions.

Probabilistic flood hazard mapping: effects of uncertain boundary conditions [PDF]

Hydrology and Earth System Sciences, 2013
Comprehensive flood risk assessment studies should quantify the global uncertainty in flood hazard estimation, for instance by mapping inundation extents together with their confidence intervals. This appears of particular importance in the case of flood

Lithiophilic Current Collector Without Interfacial Penalty in Zero‐Excess Lithium Metal Batteries

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Bilayer lithiophilic coatings are introduced to overcome the structural fragility of conventional single‐layer current collectors in zero‐excess Li‐metal batteries (ZE‐LMBs). By integrating density functional theory with electrochemical analyses, the Ag‐outer/Pt‐inner configuration enables uniform Li deposition, robust SEI formation, and persistent ...
