Stand Age, Standard Retention Density and Site Conditions as Drivers of Shoot Biomass Accumulation in Mediterranean Oak Coppices

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Mediterranean oak coppices represent an important fuelwood resource in Central Italy, but management decisions are often constrained by limited quantitative evidence on the relative importance of stand development, standard retention, site conditions, and climate in driving shoot biomass accumulation.

A Study on the Distribution Characteristics of Salinity and Nutrients and the Migration Mechanism of Soil Salt in the Delingha Saline‐Alkali Soil Profile of the Qaidam Basin

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Soil salinization negatively impacts the economic development and ecological environment, particularly in the arid and semiarid regions of China. The Qaidam Basin constitutes a major distribution area of saline‐alkali land in the country. However, the distribution patterns of salinity and nutrients within soil profiles and the underlying salt ...

Shaping Liquid Crystal Rubbers by Chemical Potential Gradient

Macromolecular Rapid Communications, EarlyView.
Depositing a low molecular weight liquid crystal drop onto a uniformly aligned LCE leads to non‐uniform swelling, enabling temporary shape changes and bending actuation. These deformations are quantitatively modeled for different alignment conditions, and methods to permanently lock desired shapes are explored.

Thermal and Morphological Analysis of Biocomposite From Multilayer Plastic Waste and Oil Palm Empty Fruit Bunch Fiber

Macromolecular Symposia, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Oil palm empty fruit bunches (OPEFB), a byproduct of the palm oil industry, have great potential in the circular economy, particularly for composite material production. Multilayer plastic waste from the bottled water industry presents significant environmental challenges.

Repeated shear mechanical properties and constitutive model of jointed sandstone under heat-wet cycles

Yantu gongcheng xuebao
The large reservoirs of Wudongde and Baihetan are located in the typical dry and hot valley of the Jinsha River. The rock and soil masses in the fluctuating zone of the bank slope are affected by the annual large rise and fall of the reservoir water ...

Interaction With Surface Spins as a Contribution to Nuclear Magnetic Relaxation of Liquids Adsorbed in Mesoporous Materials

Magnetic Resonance in Chemistry, EarlyView.
Liquids at silica interfaces experience demixing as a consequence of their respective polarity. The distribution of liquids and their primary relaxation contributions are studied by surface modification with OD and radical moieties, respectively. ABSTRACT NMR relaxation of liquids in the presence of solid interfaces, such as silica gel or porous glass,

Remote sensing and citizen science for habitat mapping: A machine learning approach to lowland heathland in Surrey, UK

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract In a time of extensive global biodiversity loss, conservation efforts increasingly rely on high‐resolution, accurate, up‐to‐date habitat maps to guide decision‐making and strategic interventions. Many products have been developed in response, using machine learning (ML) methods to automate habitat classification, often relying on satellite ...

Impact of Waste‐Derived Slate Dust on Structural, Thermal, and Thermomechanical Behavior of Recycled Poly(Ethylene Terephthalate)

Polymer Composites, EarlyView.
This study investigates the use of waste slate dust as a filler in recycled PET. Incorporating up to 20 wt% slate dust caused no filler‐induced molecular degradation, increased the crystallization temperature, thermal conductivity, and storage modulus. ABSTRACT Recycled polyethylene terephthalate (rPET) is widely considered a sustainable alternative to

Geothermal resource distribution and prospects for development and utilization in China

Natural Gas Industry B
China is tectonically composed of a series of plates and orogenic belts and has been influenced by the Pacific and Indian plates since the Late Paleozoic, forming a regular distribution of Mesozoic and Cenozoic granites.
