Participatory Assessment of Ecosystem Services from Community-Managed Planted Forests in Bhutan

open access: yes, 2020
Planted forests provide a range of ecosystem services, from the local to global scales. In this study, we evaluated the perceptions by local people of the ecosystem services from planted forest stands in Bhutan.

Biobased Bionic Spider Silk via Electrostatic Complexation for Simultaneously Harvesting Atmospheric Water and Triboelectric Energy

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Bio‐based bionic spider silk and spider web are first prepared using polyelectrolyte complexation technique for the simultaneous harvesting of water and triboelectric energy. The advantage of this process lies on entirely bio‐based materials, fully green water‐processable procedures, extremely high production rate (99.36%), excellent fog harvesting ...

Divergent hydrological responses to restoration between planted and natural forests basins in drylands

open access: yesJournal of Hydrology: Regional Studies
Study region: Semi-arid and arid regions Study focus: Afforestation in global arid and semi-arid regions has expanded over the past two decades, largely driven by carbon-sequestration initiatives, but these activities consume substantial water and may ...

Switchable Supramolecular Adhesive by Tuning Interfacial Bonding and Modulus

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
The supramolecular adhesive (HyDiP) shows reversible adhesion and recyclability. In the dehydrated state, it is dense, stiff (E ≈445 MPa), transparent, and provides strong bonding with adhesion strengths up to 4.65 MPa. In the hydrated state, it becomes porous, soft (E ≈0.11 MPa), and detaches easily, enabling sustainable high‐strength applications ...

The Distribution of Patterns in Random Trees [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
Let $T\_n$ denote the set of unrooted labeled trees of size $n$ and let $T\_n$ be a particular (finite, unlabeled) tree. Assuming that every tree of $T\_n$ is equally likely, it is shown that the limiting distribution as $n$ goes to infinity of the ...

Novel Functional Materials via 3D Printing by Vat Photopolymerization

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This Perspective systematically analyzes strategies for incorporating functionalities into 3D‐printed materials via Vat Photopolymerization (VP). It explores the spectrum of achievable functionalities in recently reported novel materials—such as conductive, energy‐storing, biodegradable, stimuli‐responsive, self‐healing, shape‐memory, biomaterials, and

Comparison of UAV-LiDAR-driven biomass estimation approaches in planted forests with different management

open access: yesInternational Journal of Digital Earth
Planted forests play a crucial role in forest restoration and carbon sequestration. However, different management practices in planted forests can alter forest structure and composition, potentially affecting UAV-LiDAR-based biomass estimation.
