On the Mechanical and Thermal Behavior of PLA, PBAT, and PHBV‐Based Ternary Blends and the Effect of Short Flax Fibers as Reinforcing Agents

open access: yesPolymer Composites, EarlyView.
Preparation and testing of biodegradable polymer ternary blends and composites with short flax fibres. ABSTRACT Bioplastics offer environmental benefits but they are costly and exhibit lower mechanical and thermal performance compared to fossil‐based counterparts. Poly(butylene adipate‐co‐terephthalate) (PBAT) exhibits high ductility but relatively low

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

open access: yesPLANTS, 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.
