Crystalline Poly(L‐Lactic Acid) Nanoparticles via Nonsolvent‐Induced Cascade Phase Separation

Journal of Polymer Science, EarlyView.
Water is used as the nonsolvent to induce liquid/liquid phase separation (LLPS) of poly(L‐lactic acid) (PLLA)/propylene carbonate solution and PLLA crystallization. Due to the two levels of cascade LLPS coupled with confined PLLA crystallization, three types of polymeric nanoparticles, including PLLA single crystals, Ouzo crystalsomes, and sheaf‐like ...

Simulated elephant foraging alters tree root exudation rates: Species‐specific responses and implications for belowground carbon dynamics in tropical forests

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Asian elephants play crucial roles in ecosystem functioning, and their interactions with plants influence above‐ and belowground carbon cycling. We tested whether their mechanically destructive foraging triggers short‐term, stress‐induced shifts in tree root exudation, an underappreciated pathway linking herbivory to belowground carbon processes.

Development and adoption of Kernza—A perennial grain crop for sustainable agriculture

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Annual cereal grains account for ~50% of human food calories, but cultivation of these crops has resulted in major environmental and social issues worldwide. For nearly three decades, researchers have been breeding intermediate wheatgrass—a perennial cool‐season grass—to serve as the world's first commercial‐scale perennial grain crop to improve ...

A walk in the park—Identifying healthy greenspaces using scents

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
As urbanisation accelerates globally, access to nature is increasingly recognised as vital for public health and wellbeing. We captured and analysed plant‐emitted airborne ‘scent signatures’ across Oxford's urban greenspaces to assess their potential health relevance.
