Aiouea riedeliana comb. nov. (Lauraceae) from Brazil, with an amended description and provisional extinction threat assessment

Nordic Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Aiouea riedeliana (Kosterm.) P.L.R.Moraes and Brotto is the new combination for Cinnamomum riedelianum Kosterm., whose type‐bringing synonym is Persea riedelii Meisn. The placement of this taxon in Aiouea is presented, justified, and illustrated here, disagreeing with its previous classification in Ocotea, as Ocotea riedeliana (Kosterm.) Kottaim., then

Theoretical analysis of the effect of isotropy on the effective diffusion coefficient in the porous and agglomerated phase of the electrodes of a PEMFC

Scientific Reports
In polymer membrane fuel cells (PEMFC), the pore microstructure and the effective diffusion coefficient ( $$D_{eff}$$ D eff ) of the catalytic layer have a significant impact on the overall performance of the fuel cell. In this work, numerical methods to

Beyond forests: Harnessing conservation gardening for open biomes in Brazil

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Urban gardening offers an innovative conservation strategy by integrating native ornamental species into urban landscapes. We evaluated the ornamental potential of the Brazilian flora by comparing the representation of species from forests versus open biomes (focusing on campo rupestre grasslands) and introduced and validated the Index of Ornamental ...

A Generic Approach to Creating a National Soil Security Strategy

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Soil is a living and non‐renewable resource that underpins our very existence. It produces our food, filters our water, stores vast amounts of carbon, cycles essential nutrients, and sustains the rich tapestry of biodiversity on which our planet depends.

Using the capabilities approach to achieve people‐centered conservation

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Top‐down interventions carried out by state and nonstate institutions to conserve biodiversity and improve the lives of forest‐proximate people (FPP) in the Global South tend to reflect economistic understandings of human well‐being. More progressive and people‐centered conservation projects are guided by normative visions of how the world ...
