Native biocrust microbes modulate salinity‐driven recruitment filters in coastal wetlands
Abstract Introduction Mediterranean coastal wetlands are biodiversity hotspots increasingly threatened by climate change, particularly by salinization, which strongly constrains plant recruitment during early life stages. Native soil microbiota may provide nature‐based solutions (NbS) to enhance plant establishment under saline conditions.

Fault‐Controlled Permeability: A Key Parameter in Geothermal Electricity Production Assessment
ABSTRACT Geothermal energy is central to the global green energy transition, but its development has long focused on regions with positive thermal anomalies. Through a semi‐quantitative global‐scale review and spatial analysis of 361 geothermal sites, we show that 56.2% of global geothermal electricity production occurs in regions with thermal ...

ABSTRACT The avian eggshell is a sophisticated, multi‐functional biocomposite and, more importantly, an autonomous life‐support system evolved to safeguard embryonic development across dynamic and hostile environments. Discussing eggshell‐inspired biomaterials beyond simple structural imitation, this review translates these evolutionary survival ...

Performance of a Mixed Least‐Squares Finite Element Formulation With Application in Poroelasticity
ABSTRACT A mixed least‐squares finite element method (LSFEM), previously proposed for the theory of porous media (TPM), is further investigated in this work. Finite deformation of a fully saturated, incompressible solid–fluid binary system is studied using the LSFEM.

Influence of Thermal Boundary Conditions on Heat Transfer in Turbulent Annular Pipes
ABSTRACT Turbulent concentric annular pipe flow with heat transfer is investigated using the stochastic one‐dimensional turbulence (ODT) model. In the present study, annular pipe flow is investigated at fixed bulk Reynolds number ReDh=17700$\mathit {Re}_{D_{\rm h}}=17\,700$ and Prandtl number Pr=0.71$\mathit {Pr}=0.71$ using two different thermal ...
