Plantation expansion reshapes water and carbon patterns in Northeast China's forests: A high carbon sink at the cost of inefficient water use

open access: yesEcological Indicators
Climate warming is reshaping forest ecosystems by altering both carbon and water cycles, yet it remains poorly understood whether rapid plantation expansion can match the ecological efficiency of natural forests.

Adsorbent Materials for Hydrocarbons Removal by Geopolymerization of Halloysite Clay Nanotubes Filled Within Chitosan Matrix

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
Alkaline activation of halloysite clay nanotubes embedded in a chitosan matrix converts bionanocomposite films into porous geopolymeric materials with enhanced adsorption capacity toward hydrocarbons in both vapor and aqueous phases. The improved adsorption performance was demonstrated by the efficient capture of dodecane vapors and phenol from water ...
