‘You shall not pass!’—frequent hikers' acceptance of access restrictions in overcrowded Italian Mountains

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Outdoor recreation is reported to have many positive effects on individuals and communities. However, when recreationists' presence becomes overcrowding, it can cause ecological damage to natural sites while also reducing the benefits of outdoor recreation for recreationists and local communities.

Synergistic Effect of Silanized Ramie Fiber and Montmorillonite Clay on the Mechanical, Thermal, and Dynamic‐Mechanical Properties of Polyester Composites

Polymer Composites, EarlyView.
Multiscale composite reinforced with silane‐modified ramie fiber and clay. ABSTRACT Multiscale polymer composites combining natural fibers and layered silicates can balance stiffness, toughness, and thermal stability when interfacial interactions are properly engineered.

Tuning adsorption and morphology in poly(glutamic acid) via controlled acidic partial deprotection

Polymer International, EarlyView.
Partial deprotection of poly(glutamic acid) generates morphologies and assemblies that match fully deprotected polypeptides in small‐molecule adsorption, extending to block copolypeptides with pH‐dependent effects. Abstract Synthetic polypeptides prepared from N‐carboxyanhydride (NCA) monomers are important platforms for environmental and medical ...

Permafrost Mass Wasting in Ice‐Rich Landscapes: Recent Advances (2013 to 2024) on Mechanisms, Dynamics and Impacts

Permafrost and Periglacial Processes, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Across circumpolar permafrost regions, climate change is destabilizing ice‐rich hillslopes, increasing the frequency and magnitude of thaw‐driven mass wasting. This paper reviews recent studies (2013–2024) on thaw‐driven mass wasting, focusing on the processes, morphology and trajectories of geomorphic change and their implications for ...

Cryostratigraphy of Rhythmic Segregated Ice in Colluvium and Implications for Permafrost Slope Stability

Permafrost and Periglacial Processes, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The amount and stratigraphic setting of ground ice in permafrost slopes is a key control on the style and magnitude of permafrost mass wasting. Understanding the spatial and stratigraphic variations in ground ice distribution on permafrost slopes is therefore a fundamental property in assessing the stability of permafrost hillslopes.
