Designing a Regional Trail Network of High Conservation Value Using Principles of Green Infrastructure [PDF]
Conservation and recreation planning potentially share many common goals, including the desire to increase landscape connectivity. Trail networks, however, typically develop independently of ecological corridors, with emphasis placed solely on their ...

Abstract Urban green infrastructure (UGI) is critical for mitigating fine particulate matter (PM2.5) pollution, a major obstacle to sustainable urban development. However, the morphological spatial patterns of UGI and their impact on PM2.5 remain largely unexplored, as most related studies have focused solely on case studies.

Mediterranean Europe is facing significant pressures from agricultural intensification. The European Union (EU) Natura2000 network (N2K) seeks to mitigate habitat loss and fragmentation, but its effectiveness needs to be enhanced through Green Infrastructure (GI) to improve coherence between N2K patches.

The Evolution of Functional Amyloids and Their Impact on Host–Microbe Interactions
This review describes functional amyloids and highlights the importance of structural repetition and molecular mimicry that distinguish the amyloid fold. The authors describe how amyloid can be the last universal common ancestor of protein folds. The authors also discuss how microbes utilize functional amyloids and how the structural characteristics of

Cooling effects of urban vegetation: The role of golf courses [PDF]
Increased heat in urban environments, from the combined effects of climate change and land use/land cover change, is one of the most severe problems confronting cities and urban residents worldwide, and requires urgent resolution. While large urban green

Resolving the contrasting leaf hydraulic adaptation of C3 and C4 grasses
Summary Grasses are exceptionally productive, yet their hydraulic adaptation is paradoxical. Among C3 grasses, a high photosynthetic rate (Aarea) may depend on higher vein density (Dv) and hydraulic conductance (Kleaf). However, the higher Dv of C4 grasses suggests a hydraulic surplus, given their reduced need for high Kleaf resulting from lower ...
