‘ukbioprepr': an R package to support reproducible preparation of environmental data for biodiversity modelling in the UK

Ecography, EarlyView.
Biodiversity modelling is essential for explaining and predicting ecological responses to environmental change and assessing progress towards targets in the Kunming‐Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework (CBD 2022). The UK benefits from rich biodiversity time‐series data and numerous open‐source environmental datasets.

Multifunctional Organic and Inorganic Composite Coating for Outdoor Droplet Energy Collection and Water Quality Monitoring

ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
The difluoropyridine‐based benzoxazine (BA‐fa) was synthesized through a Mannich reaction, and a MoO3‐doped PBA‐fa complex layered DEG was fabricated using an ultrasonic spray coating method, which can not only generate electricity in rainy days but also effectively prevent fires on building roofs, self‐cleaning the surface of buildings on rainy days ...

Selection of meadow fescue for persistence under frequent defoliation

Grassland Research
Background Meadow fescue (Schedonorus pratensis (Huds.) P. Beauv.) is a reemerging pasture grass for temperate regions of North America. One disadvantage of this species is its lack of tolerance to frequent defoliation at low residual sward heights. This
