Toward the quantification of the climate co-benefits of invasive mammal eradication on islands: a scalable framework for restoration monitoring

Environmental Research Letters
Islands are hotspots of biological and cultural diversity that face growing threats from invasive species and climate change. Invasive mammal eradication on islands is a proven conservation intervention that prevents biodiversity loss and is a ...

Advances in Electroactive Liquid Crystal Elastomers for Intelligent Robotics and Electronics

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Electroactive liquid crystal elastomers (eLCEs) integrate molecular anisotropy with electrical functionality to enable programmable actuation and reconfigurable electronics. This review classifies eLCEs into robotic actuators and adaptive electronics, summarizes key actuation mechanisms, and highlights fabrication strategies that bridge materials to ...

Forest Carbon Sequestration under the U.S. Biofuel Energy Policies

This paper analyzes impacts of the U.S. biofuel energy policies on the carbon sequestration by forest products, which is expressed as Harvested Wood Products (HWP) Contribution under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change.

Managing Forests for Multiple Tradeoffs: Compromising on Timber, Carbon, and Biodiversity Objectives [PDF]

In this paper, we develop a multiple objective, decision-making model that focuses on forest policies that simultaneously achieve carbon uptake and maintenance of ecosystem diversity objectives.

Protected areas are effective at conserving carbon sink capacity even in fire-prone terrestrial ecosystems

Environmental Research Letters
Recent studies have claimed that protected areas (PAs) in fire-prone landscapes may undermine forest carbon conservation by creating high fuel load concentrations, challenging the role of PA expansion as a climate change mitigation strategy.

Drought-induced shifts in gross primary production pathways in Moso bamboo forests: Insights from improved BIOME-BGC and structural equation modeling

Ecological Indicators
Moso bamboo forest (MBF) is a special forest type widely distributed in subtropical regions with high carbon sequestration potential. However, climate change induced frequent drought events have significantly impacted its carbon fixation capacity, while ...

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

Carbon Sequestration in Forest Ecosystems as a Strategy for Mitigating Climate Change

Under Kyoto, forestry activities that sequester carbon can be used to create CO2 offset credits that could obviate the need for lifestyle-changing reductions in fossil fuel use. Credits are earned by storing carbon in forest ecosystems and wood products,

Field experiment reveals varied earthworm densities boost soil organic carbon more than they increase carbon dioxide emissions

Geoderma
Earthworms play crucial roles in regulating soil organic carbon (SOC) and greenhouse gas emissions in forest soils. Laboratory studies have proven that they promote soil carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. However, the effects of earthworm activity on forest

Adipocyte‐Derived Leptolin Enhances Energy Expenditure and Prevents Obesity

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
We identified a novel adipokine, which we named leptolin. In humans, leptolin levels in white adipose tissue were positively correlated with exercise and negatively associated with body mass index. We observed elevated leptolin in serum from athletes and lower leptolin in serum from obese individuals.
