Urban growth and ecosystem service value decline in a coastal Ghanaian metropolis from 1991 to 2023
Discover SustainabilityUrbanization has become one of the most significant drivers of terrestrial ecosystem degradation in coastal cities of West Africa, yet limited research has quantified its consequences for ecosystem service values (ESVs).

Characterizing Land Use Change in Multidisciplinary Landscape-Level Analyses
Economists increasingly face opportunities to collaborate with ecologists on landscape-level analyses of socioeconomic and ecological processes. This often calls for developing empirical models to project land use change as input into ecological models ...

Radiation‐Resistant Kr‐Selective MOF With Record Kr/Xe Selectivity at Elevated Pressure
Advanced Science, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The separation of Kr/Xe from spent nuclear fuel off‐gas is critical, yet most current adsorbents exhibit Xe‐Kr co‐adsorption under elevated pressures, posing challenges for industrial pressure swing adsorption processes. Herein, we present and evaluate a metal‐organic framework, CALF‐20M‐w, engineered for molecular sieving separation of Kr/Xe ...

Autonomous and Continuous Atmospheric Water Harvesting Using Modified Wood
Advanced Science, EarlyView.A rigid, hydroxyl‐rich wood skeleton with graded channels is used as a multifunctional host to co‐incorporate a PNipam/PAA network and LiCl, creating a high‐performance sorbent for atmospheric water harvesting. The composite achieves rapid sorption, efficient low‐temperature desorption, and stable cycling, enabling a solar‐powered device with a high ...

Microbial Odorant Detection Guides Drosophila Parasitoids Seeking Hosts in Fermenting Fruits
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Yeast microbes in fermenting fruits attract both host flies and their parasitoid wasps. Female Leptopilina boulardi detect yeast‐emitted ethyl esters via two olfactory receptors, LbouOR167 and LbouOR136. A conserved residue, Leu159, is critical for binding these compounds, enabling female wasps to locate host‐rich habitats.

Advanced Science, EarlyView.The 3rd‐generation magnetic super‐stable mineralizer M‐MgAl‐700 features a core‐shell structure, strong superparamagnetism, large surface area, and abundant oxygen defects. It achieves exceptional Cd(II) and As(V) mineralization capacities, reducing both pollutants in co‐contaminated water and soil to meet national standards.

Advanced Science, EarlyView.A hierarchically porous AOPIM‐CNT electrode enables uranium harvesting from seawater via adsorption‐promoted electrodeposition. Rapid diffusion and selective adsorption are coupled with electrochemical crystallization and spontaneous detachment, creating a self‐refreshing process that sustains high‐capacity, continuous extraction from ultradilute ...
