Looking back, looking ahead: Local perspectives on landscape changes and native‐tree restoration in Madagascar

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Across sub‐Saharan Africa, tree‐based restoration efforts are dominated by exotic tree species due to their rapid biomass accumulation and short‐term economic returns. However, their limited contribution to biodiversity and ecosystem functioning has renewed interest in native‐tree restoration as a more sustainable strategy.

Leucaena Oil Functionalized With Osmium Tetroxide as a Precursor for Polyol‐Based Polyurethane

Journal of Polymer Science, EarlyView.
Leucaena leucocephala seed oil is converted into a hydroxyl‐functional biopolyol through OsO4‐mediated dihydroxylation. The resulting biopolyol shows a hydroxyl number of 160–175 mg KOH g−1 and is successfully used to produce flexible, open‐cell polyurethane foams, highlighting a renewable route for converting underutilized biomass into value‐added ...
