Disparities in soil and water conservation functions among different forest types and implications for afforestation on the Loess Plateau

Ecological Indicators, 2023
Afforestation is widely acknowledged as an effective approach for enhancing ecological conditions. Considering the challenging ecological environment on the Loess Plateau, prioritizing soil and water conservation functions in stands is crucial. The study

A network meta-analysis on responses of forest soil carbon concentration to interventions

Ecological Processes
Background Forests play a crucial role in absorbing CO2 from the atmosphere. 55% of the carbon in terrestrial ecosystems is stored in forests, with the majority of forest carbon stored in soil.

Development and application of a new Forestation Index: global forestation patterns and drivers [PDF]

, 2013
Deforestation has long been heavily studied; several proximate and underlying causes behind the global decrease of forest extent have been discussed. However, systematic analyses of positive examples are sparse, even if forestation is happening in almost

Laser‐Induced Graphene from Waste Almond Shells

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Almond shells, an abundant agricultural by‐product, are repurposed to create a fully bioderived almond shell/chitosan composite (ASC) degradable in soil. ASC is converted into laser‐induced graphene (LIG) by laser scribing and proposed as a substrate for transient electronics.
