Concrete jungle to urban oasis: evaluating scale, vegetation cover, and aggregation of urban greenspaces on wildlife

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Urban greenspaces are a haven for wildlife in densely populated cities. Wildlife use greenspaces for resource acquisition, shelter, and travel across urbanized landscapes. Greenspace metrics such as herbaceous or woody landcover, size, patchiness, and human land use influence species richness.

Research on Self‐Identification Technology of Zero‐Value Insulators in Distribution Lines Based on Electroluminescence Effect

open access: yesHigh Voltage, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT To address the issue of low detection accuracy for zero‐value insulators in distribution lines, this study proposes a novel method for detecting these insulators based on the electroluminescence effect. Through theoretical analysis and experimentation, it was found that the luminescence intensity of ZnS:Cu electroluminescent material varies ...

Thermal Stability of Plasma‐Assisted Film Deposition for Insulation Modification: In View of Hydrophobicity and Flashover Performances

open access: yesHigh Voltage, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Polymer insulation exposed to natural environment inevitably face challenges from material ageing and surface insulating degradation. Surface treatment is an effective method to improve material performance, but traditional processing methods such as room temperature vulcanised silicone rubber (RTV) coating, are subjected to coating ...

Ecohydrological characteristics of biocrusts explain divergent responses of biocrusts and grasses to rainfall reduction

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Drylands are mainly structured by both vascular plants and biological soil crusts (biocrusts), the latter often regarded as a self‐organizing component of these ecosystems.
