Biomimetic Design of Biopolymer‐Based Water‐Resistant Food Packaging Materials
ABSTRACT With the growing demand for sustainable and eco‐friendly food packaging, biopolymer‐based materials are emerging as promising candidates due to their recyclability, biodegradability, and food safety. However, in practical applications dealing with high moisture content or perishable foods, their lack of water resistance poses a significant ...

Squash Silverleaf Disorder (SLD) is growing in its economic impact due to the invasive behaviour of the silverleaf whitefly (Bemisia tabaci MEAM1). In this review we summarize what is currently known about the whitefly‐squash interaction, how both the disease and the whitefly are being affected by climate change, and discuss current and novel ...

Mediterranean olive grove soils operate at only 41% of their textural SOC saturation capacity, with a mean deficit of 64 Mg C ha−1. The deficit widens along the intensification gradient—rather than along the organic‐versus‐conventional dichotomy—pointing to a substantial unrealized potential for soil carbon sequestration through soil‐conservation ...

Miscanthus Leaf Drop Timing Impacts Autumn and Winter Soil Decomposition Rates
Genotypic variation in Miscanthus leaf senescence was simulated in different leaf drop profiles combined with standardized buried litter bags to estimate impacts on soil decomposition. Litter drop occurring over shorter periods resulted in lower soil decomposition; concentrated winter leaf drop is preferred due to longer‐term soil organic carbon ...
