Opportunities of Semiconducting Oxide Nanostructures as Advanced Luminescent Materials in Photonics
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.The review discusses the challenges of wide and ultrawide bandgap semiconducting oxides as a suitable material platform for photonics. They offer great versatility in terms of tuning microstructure, native defects, doping, anisotropy, and micro‐ and nano‐structuring. The review focuses on their light emission, light‐confinement in optical cavities, and

Disturbance Severity and Threshold Responses in the Boreal Forest
Ecology and Society, 1998 This essay discusses three potential models relating disturbance severity to post-disturbance stand composition in the boreal forest: (1) continuous, where changes in disturbance severity cause a proportional and continuous change in stand composition ...

Wildfire Smoke Transport and Air Quality Impacts in Different Regions of China
Atmosphere, 2020 The air quality and human health impacts of wildfires depend on fire, meteorology, and demography. These properties vary substantially from one region to another in China.

Disturbing hypotheses in tropical forests
Trends in Ecology & Evolution, 2003 The intermediate disturbance hypothesis (IDH) is a controversial explanation for the maintenance of tropical forest tree diversity, but empirical tests of it are rare. Two data intensive evaluations have recently yielded contradictory outcomes: one for and one against the IDH.

Tropical Dry Forest Resilience to Fire Depends on Fire Frequency and Climate
, 2021 Wildfires are becoming increasingly frequent and devastating in many tropical forests. Although seasonally dry tropical forests (SDTF) are among the most fire-threatened ecosystems, their long-term response to frequent wildfires remains largely unknown.
