Orchard netting impacts on biodiversity leading to cascading effects at the ecosystem level
ABSTRACT Agriculture must ensure food production without further compromising the ecosystem functions upon which it depends. Agricultural practices should therefore avoid harming farmland biodiversity, especially of taxa that supply the key ecosystem services (e.g.

Variation and Drivers of Water Chemistry in a Low‐Relief Wetlandscape
Dissolved organic carbon, nitrogen, phosphorous, P and NH4+ and concentrations were higher in wetland water than nearby surficial groundwater. Our findings also suggest that seasonal variation in biological activity and hydrological dynamics controlled wetland water chemistry, while groundwater chemistry was primarily governed by saturation of solute ...

A green PDMS sorptive sampling loop coupled with complementary liquid and gas chromatography–mass spectrometry enabled detection of migrating chemicals from plastic food contact materials under everyday‐use scenarios. The approach revealed diverse additives and non‐intentionally added substances, supporting improved exposure assessment of plastic ...

Physical controls dominate stream metabolism and carbon cycling over nutrients and stoichiometry
Abstract Streams process and transport vast carbon quantities along the aquatic continuum. The balance between processing and downstream export is governed by metabolism, which in turn is regulated by distinct physicochemical controls that vary through space and time.

Lego‐Like Terahertz Transmission Grating With Variable Blaze Angle
ABSTRACT This paper introduces a novel terahertz (THz) transmission grating featuring a variable blaze angle, which is fabricated using a Lego‐like assembly of rectangular cuboids. This innovative approach leverages the flexibility and cost‐effectiveness of 3D printing, utilizing polymers with low absorption in the THz frequency range.
