A Yolk@Shell Photothermal Structure for Integrated Solar‐Driven Undrinkable Water Purification and Thermoelectric Power Generation

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A yolk@shell structured photothermal evaporator was prepared via simple sol‐gel and spray coating methods. By taking advantage of the unique yolk@shell structure, the position of the TE module within the evaporator can be optimized without affects its water evaporation performance. This results in efficient and stable evaporation (3.08‐3.17 kg m−2 h−1)‐

Mangroves and coastal topography create economic “safe havens” from tropical storms

Scientific Reports, 2021
Evidence suggests that mangroves protect economic activity in coastal areas. We estimate this protection from mangroves and coastal elevation globally, examining both “direct” and “indirect” exposure events (

Mangrove bacterial richness [PDF]

Communicative & Integrative Biology, 2011
Mangroves are complex and dynamic ecosystems varying in salinity, water level and nutrient availability; they also contain diverse and distinct microbial communities. Studies of microbes and their interactions with other ecosystem components (e.g., tree roots) are critical for our understanding of mangrove ecosystem functioning and remediation. Using a

Gleaning the Rocky Shore? 2500 Years of Coastal Resource Use at Red Bluff 1, GunaiKurnai Country, SE Australia

Archaeology in Oceania, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Shell middens in Gippsland along the eastern half of Victoria's coastline have usually been characterised as small, short‐duration camp sites with relatively low shell densities and low taxonomic diversity. Here we present new excavation results from a dense, high‐diversity site at Red Bluff near the eastern end of GunaiKurnai Country, a ...

Challenges to mangroves of the Semiarid Equatorial Coast of Brazil in the Anthropocene

Cambridge Prisms: Coastal Futures
The semiarid northeast coast of Brazil harbours just less than 44,300 ha of mangroves, 4% of Brazilian total. Notwithstanding this relatively small area, these forests have high ecological and economic importance, sustaining traditional fisheries and ...

Quantifying the contribution of mangroves to local fish consumption in Indonesia: a cross-sectional spatial analysis

The Lancet Planetary Health, 2023
Summary: Background: Indonesia has lost more mangroves than any other country. The importance of mangroves for carbon storage and biodiversity is well recognised, but much less is known about what they contribute to the communities living near them who ...

Nutrition of mangroves [PDF]

Tree Physiology, 2010
Mangrove forests dominate the world's tropical and subtropical coastlines. Similar to other plant communities, nutrient availability is one of the major factors influencing mangrove forest structure and productivity. Many mangrove soils have extremely low nutrient availability, although nutrient availability can vary greatly among and within mangrove ...

Mangroves v1.0: a new taxonomic tool to characterize mangroves. The case of South east Indian and Sri Lankan mangroves and potential application to African mangroves [PDF]

, 2009
In this paper we present an innovative tool for plant identification conceived to reinforce the national capacity building in taxonomy. We introduce Mangroves v1.0, built up on a species identification system called IDAO (Identification Assistée par ...

Annabella australiensis gen. & sp. nov. (Helotiales, Cordieritidaceae) from South Australian mangroves [PDF]

, 2019
A new genus of helotialean fungi, Annabella gen. nov. (Cordieritidaceae), is described to accommodate Annabella australiensis sp. nov. This species was collected on attached decaying wood of Avicennia marina, a common mangrove species found in protected ...
