Aboveground herbivory elevates belowground rhizosphere volatile organic compound concentrations in ambient and polluted air, independent of volatile sampling methodology

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
The effect of air pollution on plants is still underexplored, especially belowground. We used a field facility that released diesel exhaust and ozone at concentrations equivalent to those near a busy road in Reading, UK, to measure belowground gas exchange of Scots pine together with feeding by large pine weevils, a major pest of conifers.

An integrated forest‐to‐market approach to promote lesser‐known timber species (LKTS) in a domestic timber market in the Congo Basin

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
In the Congo Basin, domestic timber markets account for ~40% of timber consumption, yet demand is concentrated on a few high‐value species also sought after on international markets, raising concerns about their long‐term availability. We combine market, wood, and forest data to assess the potential of lesser‐known timber species (LKTS) to support a ...

Optimizing Ball‐Milled Composites for Fast Energy Release Under Shock Compression

open access: yesPropellants, Explosives, Pyrotechnics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Microparticle additives containing both Al fuel and oxidizer, fabricated by arrested reactive milling (ARM), could potentially increase the power of energetic materials such as HMX because they contain premixed fuel and oxidizer. Optimizing shock reactivity requires exploring a vast parametric space encompassing composition, milling parameters

World Models for Robotic Manipulation: A Survey

open access: yesSmartBot, EarlyView.
World models enable robots to anticipate how candidate actions may alter object configurations, contact states, and scene geometry before physical execution. This survey examines world models for robotic manipulation as action‐conditioned predictive systems and organizes the literature according to predicted representations, interfaces between ...
