Simulated Trampling Disturbance Alters Biocrust Microbial Communities and Soil Functions: A Container‐Based Mesocosm Experiment

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Biological soil crusts (biocrusts) are crucial components of dryland ecosystems; however, they are highly vulnerable to anthropogenic disturbances, particularly trampling caused by grazing. To evaluate the impacts of trampling on biocrust structure, microbial communities, and soil functions, we conducted a mesocosm‐based simulated disturbance ...

Mass Spectrometry in Authentication and Forensic Approaches for Determining the Origin of Hazardous Chemicals

Mass Spectrometry Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Identification of a chemical agent yields insights into its physicochemical properties. By examining the intrinsic characteristics and environment of a compound, information about its history can be gathered. The main objective of authentication/forensic approaches to chemicals is to trace the history of the compound's origin, regardless of ...

Cologne, oppidum des Ubiens : l’urbanisme augustéen

Gallia, 2015
The Oppidum Ubiorum (the future Cologne) was set up on imperial initiative, on the land recently attributed to the transrhenane people of Ubii. From its birth, probably in the last decade BC, it had the appearance of a provincial capital.

Mobilizing Presence across Borders: Devotion to Papua New Guinea's Blessed Peter To Rot in Australia

Oceania, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article engages with the conjunctures between migration and religion by focusing on the celebration of Papua New Guinea's ‘National Patron Saint’, the Blessed Peter To Rot, in the Australian diaspora. Both in Sydney and Brisbane, Catholic Papua New Guinea (PNG) migrants have been ‘relocating’ PNG shrines, regalia, relics and ritual ...

A reconstructed Pangea would result in lower biodiversity

Oikos, EarlyView.
Driven by globalization and climatic change, rates of biological invasion are on the increase. Although these increasing rates are widely expected to lead to increased rates of extinction, it has been argued that these ‘newly arrived' species might increase biodiversity.

Theories of care help explain a peri‐urban tree diversity paradox

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Since diversity is often a management objective for peri‐urban tree communities on public land, one might expect to find greater diversity there than on private land, where such objectives are less common. However, this expectation rests on an assumption that people control diversity towards objectives, overlooking the role of relationships ...

Recycling of Thermoplastic Unidirectional Tapes: An Image‐Analysis Method for Measuring Residual Glass‐Fiber Length in Convoluted Fiber Clusters

Polymer Composites, EarlyView.
Development of a rapid, low‐cost method for measuring residual glass fibre length: samples are collected by tweezers, prepared via submersion, imaged with a flatbed scanner as a cost‐effective alternative to microscopy, and analyzed for fibre length independently of image acquisition.

Mechanical Properties of Hybrid Natural Fiber–Carbon Fiber‐Reinforced Polypropylene Nonwoven Composites: Influence of Degree of Densification, Fiber Volume Fraction and Laminate Architecture

Polymer Composites, EarlyView.
Reinforcement where it matters: from a homogenious fiber‐reinforced part to a load‐adapted hybrid molded composite part. ABSTRACT Nonwoven composites based on flax fiber (NF)‐reinforced polypropylene (PP) offer a promising route toward sustainable lightweight structures but are limited by moderate mechanical performance.
