Litter decomposition by slugs in mixed deciduous woodland
Ecography, 1979 For the one year period considered, it is calculated that 683.5 g m ‐2 plant litter entered the study area site. Of the six slugs studied, Arion intermedius Normand, the smallest species, had the highest overall consumption rate on the nine test foods ...

Sundarban mangroves: diversity, ecosystem services and climate change impacts [PDF]
, 2016 The Bengal delta coast harboring the famous Sundarban mangroves is extremely vulnerable to climate change. Already, salinity intrusion, increasing cyclones and anomalies in rainfall, and temperature, are causing many social and livelihood problems ...

Estimation of Litter Production in Mixed Garden Forest Ecosystems
, 2023 Litter is one of the sources of soil organic matter that develops through the decomposition process, which is overhauled and broken down into smaller particles, producing dissolved nutrients. Therefore, this research aims to determine the litter production from forest land conversion in mixed gardens as a basis for sustainable forest management.

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.

Global patterns and drivers of decomposition of mixed-species litter
GeodermaMixed-species litter modifies decomposition rates through complex interplays driven by species composition and functional traits of litter. However, there remains no consensus on how ecosystem type, climate, species traits, and decomposition stage ...

The Uppsala APP Mutation Promotes Wild‐Type Amyloid‐β Aggregation and Deposition In Vivo
Advanced Science, EarlyView.We investigated in vivo cross‐seeding of amyloid‐β (Aβ) isoforms in transgenic mice co‐expressing wild‐typeAβ and the Uppsala‐mutant Aβ variant (AβUpp), lacking six central residues. Weleveraged MALDI‐MS imaging and hyperspectral microscopy to follow spatio‐temporalAβ deposition.
