Revealing the dark biodiversity around us through a national school‐based citizen science project
Abstract School‐based citizen science holds great potential for expanding biodiversity knowledge while engaging young people in authentic scientific practices. This is particularly important for revealing ‘dark biodiversity’, defined as the vast yet often overlooked biodiversity that remains hidden due to its small size or cryptic nature, including ...

Cliffs support lichen communities unique from nearby forests
Cliffs support rare, endemic, and glacial relict vegetation that may differ from vegetation in surrounding forests. Yet, cliffs are difficult to sample, and rock-dwelling lichens can be challenging to identify; therefore, cliff lichens are often excluded

Lichen residue, a renewable mineral‐organic material, was melt compounded with polylactic acid and triacetin in a twin‐screw extruder. ABSTRACT A lichen‐derived natural material, known as “höllük” in southeastern Turkey, is introduced as a renewable filler for polylactic acid (PLA).

Ecology of the lichen Cladonia botrytes in Sweden [PDF]
Rapid changes in the forest structure due to logging strongly affect lichen vegetation and can exceed tolerance of many organisms while being beneficial to others.

We demonstrate that high‐resolution multispectral imagery combined with machine learning can accurately predict key biocrust functional indicators, particularly the UV‐protective pigment scytonemin, across dryland ecosystems. Using fine‐scale imagery acquired in the Chihuahuan Desert and Colorado Plateau, we identified spectral bands strongly ...

Theoretical Assessment of the Sodium Pool Fire's Burning Rate in an Open Environment
An evaporation‐based model is developed for sodium pool fires. Experiments demonstrate that the burning rate increases with pool diameter and approaches a quasi‐saturated limit (∼0.013 kg m−2 s−1) governed by oxidation product conversion. ABSTRACT The burning rate of sodium pool fires is a critical parameter for assessing fire development and ...
