Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Afforestation is widely advocated for boosting carbon (C) sequestration. However, the stability of soil C pools in economically and culturally significant mulberry plantations remains poorly understood. The soil organic C (SOC) contents in different aggregates and the oxidizable OC fractions were measured.

Mixed Litter Decomposition Drives Functional Gene Rearrangement in the Microbial Carbon Cycle
Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Understanding how mixed‐species litter decomposition regulates microbial communities and carbon cycling is vital for guiding ecosystem restoration and climate change mitigation, as it is a key process for nutrient cycling and carbon sequestration. A 15‐month field experiment compared single‐species (Pinus sylvestris var.

A Fully‐Connected Chip‐Integrated Reconfigurable Mode‐Pairing Quantum Key Distribution Network
Laser &Photonics Reviews, EarlyView.This work constructs a fully connected reconfigurable chip‐integrated quantum key distribution network via the mode‐pairing protocol. Hybrid ECL and WSS chips cut wavelength and port overhead, realizing arbitrary‐user key sharing with merely two wavelengths.

Materials and Corrosion, EarlyView.The present study generated the corrosion performance of C‐steel, zinc, and galvanized steel in different global unsaturated soil environments for 2 years. Acceptable matching was observed between corrosion rates and identified corrosion products. To properly predict soil corrosion, the results showed that DIN 50929 should include a drainage‐capability

Property Rights Entrepreneurship: The Drive for Product, Asset, and Resource Excludability
Managerial and Decision Economics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Property rights are foundational to market economies, and entrepreneurial activity depends heavily on the excludability afforded by property rights. Yet, the role of entrepreneurs in shaping the evolution of property rights has been so thoroughly taken for granted that it often vanishes from analyses.

Nordic Journal of Botany, EarlyView.Portulaca (Portulacaceae) is a cosmopolitan genus with centers of diversity in Africa and South America. In Brazil, 22 species are recognized, most occurring in xerophytic environments of the Cerrado, particularly in Campos Rupestres. These rocky montane habitats, especially in northern Minas Gerais state, remain undercollected despite their high ...

Near Surface Geophysics, EarlyView.Abstract Utilizing synthetic models for the interpretation of ground‐penetrating radar (GPR) profiles can aid in the detection of hydrogeological structures by identifying their signatures. In this study, finite difference (FD) forward modelling was used to understand the detection ability of 50 MHz GPR for (1) the quaternary deposit–bedrock contact ...

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 ...

Interplanetary frontiers: terraforming from an invasion science perspective
Oikos, EarlyView.The pursuit of a multi‐planetary existence represents one of humanity's greatest frontiers. If applied justly, it offers an opportunity to extend its civilization's lifespan amid escalating sustainability crises on Earth. One approach increasingly gaining traction is terraforming, a hitherto theoretical ecological and evolutionary experiment revolving ...

The impact of COVID‐19 on public perceptions of wild meat in Central Africa
People and Nature, EarlyView.Abstract Wild meat is a significant source of food and income generation in Central Africa. However, there is little knowledge of how the assumed link between COVID‐19 and wild meat consumption has been discussed by the media and received by the public. In this study, we conducted media content analysis of 264 articles published in 2019–2020 related to
