Soil properties and road proximity likely influence plant and bacterial traits and diversity more than habitat size in small urban greenspaces

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
The global decline in biodiversity can be partly ameliorated by sympathetic design of green spaces within urban environments. This includes roundabouts on road systems. This study utilised a combination of approaches to assess levels of plant and bacterial diversity in roundabouts of varying size, soil characteristics and habitat complexity.

Balancing tracks and trees: Assessing railroad impact on Brazilian biodiversity

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
The Brazilian West–East Integration Railway (FIOL) aims to boost the national economy by improving commodity transport; however, it crosses three of Brazil's most biodiverse and fragile regions: the Caatinga, Cerrado and Atlantic Forest. Using digitised plant records and land‐use analyses, our study reveals significant vegetation loss within the ...

The X‐Ray Crystal Structure of BorF, the Flavin Reductase Subunit of a Two‐Component Flavin‐Dependent Tryptophan Halogenase

Proteins: Structure, Function, and Bioinformatics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT BorF is a short‐chain flavin reductase from a desert soil bacterium that uses NADH to reduce FAD to FADH2, which is used by the tryptophan‐6‐halogenase BorH to chlorinate tryptophan in the biosynthetic pathway of borregomycin A. The X‐ray crystal structure of BorF bound to FAD was solved to 2.37 Å by molecular replacement.

Semi‐automated seal detection on the Western Antarctic Peninsula: an unsupervised machine learning approach for detecting ice seals in aerial survey data

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
This study presents a semi‐automated, rule‐based image analysis pipeline to detect ice seals in aerial surveys of the Western Antarctic Peninsula during an unusually low sea ice year. By using simple hierarchical clustering instead of deep learning, the method substantially reduced human annotation effort while achieving 82% recall, identifying 758 ...

Can Happiness Be Sustainable? Monitoring Global Consumption Footprints From 2015 to 2024

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Understanding how happiness relates to resource consumption requires considering not only domestic environmental impacts but also the broader transnational effects embedded in global trade. To address this gap, this study introduces the Consumption Footprint–Happiness Ratio (CHR), a visual analytic metric that captures the intensity of ...

(In)justice in Smart Cities: Barriers and an Integrative Framework for Solution Pathways From a Global Perspective

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Smart city initiatives aim for sustainability and inclusiveness, but recent evidence shows that they often lead to injustices. Although this contradiction has received growing academic attention, a comprehensive understanding of how justice is addressed within smart city practices remains limited.
