A novel method for tracking structural changes in gels using widely accessible microcomputed tomography is presented and validated for various hydro‐, alco‐, and aerogels. The core idea of the method is to track positions of micrometer‐sized tracer particles entrapped in the gel and relate them to the density of the gel network.

Saltmarsh‐mangrove ecotones occur at the boundary of the natural geographic distribution of mangroves and salt marshes. Climate warming and species invasion can also drive the formation of saltmarsh‐mangrove mixing communities.

Pollution and Pollution Control [PDF]
Pollution - the very word brings to mind in each of us a variety of abuses that man has perpetrated on his fellow man. lie has fouled the air, polluted streams and lakes and made vast dumping grounds out of once scenic areas. Water is impossible to destroy.

Carbon sources of benthic fauna in temperate lakes across multiple trophic states [PDF]
Previous studies have shown that microbially produced methane can be a dominant carbon source of lacustrine sedimentary macrofauna in eutrophic lakes, most likely through grazing on methane-oxidizing bacteria.

Novel Regression and Least Square Support Vector Machine Learning Technique for Air Pollution Forecasting [PDF]
Air pollution is the origination of particulate matter, chemicals, or biological substances that brings pain to either humans or other living creatures or instigates discomfort to the natural habitat and the airspace. Hence, air pollution remains one of the paramount environmental issues as far as metropolitan cities are concerned.

Air pollution: the "classical" pollutants. [PDF]
Few disasters can have led to such great good as the four-day London "smog" of December 1952. Though its extreme concentrations of smoke and sulphur dioxide appear to have caused up to 4000 extra deaths,1 it provided the impetus for the Clean Air Act 1956.

Environmental DNA (eDNA) once shed can exist in numerous states with varying behaviors including degradation rates and transport potential. In this study, we consider three states of eDNA: (1) a membrane‐bound state referring to DNA enveloped in a ...
