Improved Prediction Model for the Corrosion of Aluminium Alloy Conductors: Considering the Influence of Electric Field and Dynamic Boundary

High Voltage, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The corrosion problems of high‐voltage power transmission conductors typically occur in environments with electric fields. However, current research mainly focuses on atmospheric corrosion of metals with limited attention to the combined effects of electric fields and atmospheric conditions on metal corrosion.

From cities to refuges for pollinators: Urban practices for enhancing pollinator habitats in changing landscapes

Journal of Applied Ecology, EarlyView.
A framework for the support of pollinators in urban areas is developed here, based on five pillars: nesting, flower resources, artificial support, management and society acceptance, with additional key elements from science and society. Society should incorporate strategies for pollinators as in this framework by means of co‐planning with stakeholders,

Estimating abundance of aggregated populations with drones while accounting for multiple sources of errors: A case study on the mass nesting of Giant South American River Turtles

Journal of Applied Ecology, EarlyView.
The developed approach can be applied to several contexts to efficiently survey spatially aggregated populations using drone‐derived orthomosaics, and to understand phenology at these aggregation sites. We provide general recommendations for planning surveys and discuss implementations of our approach using other types of marking methods and model ...

Carboxylate release as a nutrient‐acquisition strategy in mycorrhizal plant species in phosphorus‐impoverished environments

Journal of Ecology, EarlyView.
Many mycorrhizal plant species very likely depended on root carboxylate release to acquire P at the P‐impoverished study sites. Arbuscular mycorrhizal species exhibited a less conservative nutrient‐utilisation strategy with higher leaf [P] than cluster‐rooted non‐mycorrhizal species and accessed more inorganic N.

Early departures and delayed arrivals: Holocene dynamics of temperate tree species in the boreal‐temperate ecotone

Journal of Ecology, EarlyView.
As temperate tree species require warmer temperatures than boreal species, some thermophilous species, such as white pine, increased in abundance at their northern edge during historically warmer periods. Our data reveal that not all temperate species behaved accordingly: maples were scarce during the warm mid‐Holocene, while their abundance increased ...
