A Comparative Evaluation of Carbonaceous and Alloy Type Anodes for Sodium‐Ion Batteries: Capacity, Scalability, and Sustainability Perspectives

open access: yesSmall, Volume 22, Issue 31, 2 June 2026.
This review critically compares the electrochemical performance of carbon‐based and alloy‐type anodes for sodium‐ion batteries, with an emphasis on strategies that enhance practical deployment. It highlights how synergistic optimization of microstructure, electrolyte, and presodiation improves hard carbon, while nanostructuring and interfacial ...

Decreasing water availability reduces productivity in Swiss forests along an altitudinal gradient

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Forests are one of the most important terrestrial carbon sinks, but are increasingly under pressure due to drought, heat and the occurrence of extreme events. There are opposing longer term trends for European forest growth reported, and severe drought and disturbance ...

Intra‐Seasonal Crop Management and the Potential Benefit of Seasonal Precipitation Forecasts: Farm‐Level Embedded Risk Analysis in Ethiopia

open access: yesJournal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT How large is the potential benefit for farmers from obtaining forecasts of total rainfall in the upcoming season? This critically depends on the local farm system and the crop management actions available to farmers to respond to the forecasts issued. Studies assessing the financial value of seasonal precipitation forecasts have so far focused

Multilocus sequence typing of the invasive pest Halyomorpha halys (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae) and associated endosymbiont reveals unexplored diversity

open access: yesInsect Science, EarlyView.
A multilocus sequence typing approach is proposed to explore Halymorpha halys genetic diversity, taking into consideration both insect nuclear markers and markers from the gut symbiont “Candidatus Pantoa carbekii.” Increased information was revealed regarding the number of distinct holobiont haplotypes in native and invasive populations of the pest ...
