How can children and young people have a voice in urban treescapes?

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Scientific understanding of climate change has, to date, failed to result in sufficient action. This paper proposes that a deficit model of top‐down learning and dissemination in relation to public engagement with science may be part of the problem, particularly when considering the attitudes, values and empowerment of children and young ...

Application of Simulation Methods and Image Processing Techniques in Rock Blasting and Fragmentation Optimization

Applied Sciences
Rock fragmentation is a key indicator for evaluating the effects of rock blasting and directly impacts subsequent excavation efficiency. However, predicting rock fragmentation outcomes is challenging due to the complex physical and chemical processes ...

From wild to tamed: Reimagining novel crops through omics and local plant diversity

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
The global food system faces growing pressure from climate change, biodiversity loss, and rising nutritional demands. Agriculture has increased yields but reduced crop diversity, flavor, and nutritional quality, leaving societies vulnerable and dependent on a narrow set of staple species.

Control of rock burst during deep tunnel blasting excavation based on energy release process optimizing

Rock Mechanics Bulletin
Blasting is widely used in hard rock tunnel excavation but often deteriorates the mechanical properties of the rock mass, forming a disturbance zone associated with energy evolution in the surrounding rock.

Genomic insights into the local adaptation of spontaneous olive trees in the Mediterranean Basin highlight the need for conservation planning in the face of global change

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
The Mediterranean Basin, a major biodiversity hotspot, is highly vulnerable to climate and global changes. Wild olive trees form an essential part of this landscape and hold strong ecological, cultural and socio‐economic significance. By examining how these trees responded to past climatic conditions, this study shows adaptation of olive trees to local

Evolutionary trade‐offs between beauvericin production and growth define divergent virulence strategies in Beauveria

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Two virulence strategies in Beauveria: a growth strategy characterized by rapid within‐host proliferation, and a toxin strategy involving antimicrobial activity and toxicity to insects Abstract BACKGROUND Pathogen virulence is often attributed to toxin production, yet toxins are metabolically costly and may not universally enhance fitness.

The continuing significance of chiral agrochemicals

Pest Management Science, Volume 81, Issue 4, Page 1697-1716, April 2025.
In the time frame 2018–2023, around 43% of the 35 chiral agrochemicals introduced to the market (herbicides, fungicides, insecticides, acaricides, and nematicides) contain one or more stereogenic centers in the molecule, and almost 69% of them have been marketed as racemic mixtures of enantiomers or stereoisomers.

Living Through a Changing Climate: Stress, Trauma, and Gendered Resilience Among Women in Coastal and Northern Ghana

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Climate change is reshaping everyday life in Ghana through coastal erosion, flooding, erratic rainfall, water scarcity, extreme heat, and agricultural insecurity. This study examines how these changes produce stress, trauma, and gendered resilience among women in Salakope and Choggu Yapalsi, two climate‐vulnerable communities in coastal and ...
