Large woody debris “rewilding” rapidly restores biodiversity in riverine food webs [PDF]

Journal of Applied Ecology, 2017
Abstract Extensive habitat destruction and pollution have caused dramatic declines in aquatic biodiversity at local to global scales. In rivers, the reintroduction of large woody debris is a common method aimed at restoring degraded ecosystems through “rewilding.” However, causal evidence for its effectiveness is lacking due to a dearth of ...

Leaftronics: Bio‐Fractal Scaffolds From Leaf Venation for Low‐Waste Electronics

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
“Leaftronics” transforms naturally evolved leaf venation into quasi‐fractal scaffolds for sustainable electronics. Polymer‐infiltrated leaf skeletons can be used to fabricate ultra‐smooth, reflow‐ and thin‐film‐compatible decomposable substrates, while making the same lignocellulose networks conducting results in flexible transparent electrodes.

Conformable Ferrimagnetic Tattoo Electrodes for Plant Electrophysiology

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
The newly developed ferrimagnetic tattoo electrode is capable of measuring plant electrophysiological activity outside the Faraday cage. Its ability to adhere without damaging the plant tissue allows long‐term recordings. This premise opens new avenues for in‐field monitoring of plant health through electrophysiology.

Airflow Dynamics over a Beach and Foredune System with Large Woody Debris

Geosciences, 2018
Airflow dynamics over beach-foredune systems can be complex. Although a great deal is known about the effects of topographic forcing and vegetation cover on wind-field modification, the role of large woody debris (LWD) as a roughness element and modifier

Regulation effect of slit-check dam against woody debris flow: Laboratory test

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2023
Woody debris flows (i.e., debris flows carrying wood) are common in mountainous and forested areas. They can cause more severe hazards due to the effects of LW (woody debris larger than 1 m in length and 10 cm in width) compared to debris flows without ...

Polychip‐A High‐Throughput Droplet Microfluidics Platform for Interrogating Microbial Interactions

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Polychip, a fully integrated droplet microfluidics platform, enables high‐throughput, single‐cell resolution screening of polymicrobial interactions. By seamlessly combining six automated microfluidics operations on a single chip, the system accelerates antimicrobial discovery by 11 to 14 times compared to traditional robotic methods.

Modelling the hydraulic impact of reintroducing large woody debris into watercourses

Journal of Flood Risk Management, 2012
AbstractVery little large woody debris (LWD) is present in UK river systems due to its removal from watercourses mainly for flood defence and angling purposes. Some researchers now believe that restoring LWD dams in rivers can aid in flood retention, improve habitat and biodiversity, and help improve water quality and reduce sediment transport.

Palmitoylation of PSD‐95 Orchestrates Learning‐Dependent Metaplasticity in the Amygdala and Fear Memory

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study reveals that fear learning specifically triggers PICK1/DHHC2‐dependent palmitoylation of PSD‐95 in the lateral amygdala. Fear conditioning induces the dissociation of DHHC5 from PSD‐95 and the association of PSD‐95 with DHHC2. DHHC2‐mediated palmitoylation of PSD‐95 is required for synaptic transmission and underlies fear learning–induced ...

Generation and Subsequent Transport of Landslide-driven Large Woody Debris Induced by the 2018 Hokkaido Eastern Iburi Earthquake

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2022
The earthquake that occurred on 6 September 2018, in the eastern part of the Iburi region of Hokkaido, Japan (the Hokkaido Eastern Iburi Earthquake) caused thousands of shallow landslides in mountain areas.
