The adaptive evolution of serpentine tolerance in selected species of Czech serpentine plants

open access: yes, 2011
Serpentine soils produce speciafic habitats with extreme edaphic conditions. which are hostile to plant life. They contain high concentrations of nickel and have an unfavorable calcium/magnesium ratio.

Storying Multispecies‐Life‐and‐Death: Becoming‐Grief‐Able in Educational Spaces for Post‐Necrocene Futures

open access: yesChildren &Society, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We situate this article from/with/in the Necrocene, a geological period marked by the systematic production of human and more‐than‐human death to an extent that ecological destruction, extinction, loss and harm have become a structural feature of modern life.

Evaluating a structured expert elicitation approach for adaptive conservation management based on lessons from five years in practice

open access: yesConservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Adaptive management of threatened species relies on having ex ante estimates of species’ responses to different interventions. Structured expert elicitation is often used to generate these estimates, but comparisons of these expert‐predicted outcomes with observed results are rare.

Improving Oral Care in Stroke Patients: Patients' and Carers' Experiences of Oral Care in a Hospital Environment Following Acute Stroke

open access: yesGerodontology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective This study aimed to explore the thoughts and feelings of stroke patients and their carers (family/guardians) about oral care during hospitalisation, and (in turn) inform future research and service development. Background Stroke is a leading cause of adult disability and associated physical and cognitive impairments can compromise ...

Enhancing Recharge Beneath Low‐Permeability Landscapes with Small‐Diameter Drywells: Token Creek, WI

open access: yesGroundwater, EarlyView.
Shallow, small‐diameter drywells provide enhanced recharge in rural landscapes, bypassing the low infiltration rates caused by low permeability surficial soils and high ET rates. One year of monitoring data show several recharge events and overall high water quality.

Post‐flight assessment of the OSIRIS‐REx Sample Return Capsule (SRC) for organic and other potential contaminants

open access: yesMeteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Regolith samples from the carbonaceous asteroid Bennu were stowed and delivered to Earth in the OSIRIS‐REx spacecraft's Sample Return Capsule (SRC). We applied multiple analytical techniques to study the components of the post‐flight SRC, with a focus on assessing the conditions and any contaminants to which the Bennu samples were exposed ...

Looking for trouble: A common threat‐detection mechanism underlying pain, fear, and anxiety

open access: yesMind &Language, EarlyView.
I put forward a novel cognitive architecture for pain, fear, and anxiety, according to which these three capacities are underpinned by a common threat‐detection mechanism. This mechanism takes information about potential threats as input, assesses whether the threat is actual and, if it deems it is, outputs a threat representation.

Biocrust restoration in novel climates: assisted migration, habitat amelioration, and varied community composition as climate‐smart techniques

open access: yesRestoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Successful restoration of terrestrial drylands depends on stable, fertile soils that retain water. These functions are provided by biological soil crusts (biocrust), suggesting their reestablishment is a critical step in dryland restoration.

Speciation and Mobility of Cr and Ni in Serpentine Rocks and Derived Sediments (Tuscany, Italy)

open access: yesStandards
Large outcrops of ophiolites from exposed land surfaces can potentially impact the geochemistry of much greater areas through transport and weathering. Derived soil and sediments contain significant concentrations of heavy metals, including chromium and ...
