Plant Functional Composition, Ecological Niche Distribution, and Biodiversity Measures Across Urban Grasslands of Different Size, Localisation, and Type

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Urban grasslands (UGs) are among the most abundant type of green infrastructure in cities worldwide. They deliver a range of ecosystem services and perform numerous ecosystem functions. To ensure the multifunctionality of UGs, enhancing their biodiversity is crucial; however, owing to urbanisation effects and inappropriate management, UGs ...

Quantifying the Role of Vegetation in Reducing Erosion on Post‐Mining Landforms: An Experimental Approach

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT For post‐mining landscapes, erosion rates need to be demonstrably similar to that of the surrounding areas. Post‐mining landscapes are assessed (usually with a numerical model) to determine their erosion potential both in the pre‐ and post‐construction phases. Field plots, which rely on natural rainfall, provide the most reliable data; however,

Selective Functionalization of MWCNTs: Enhancing Wear Mechanisms and Friction‐Induced Graphitization in Epoxy Composites

Macromolecular Materials and Engineering, EarlyView.
Incorporating 0.3 wt.% COOH‐functionalized MWCNTs, well dispersed via ultrasonication, into epoxy significantly enhances tribological and mechanical performance, reducing wear by 82% and COF by 32%. During sliding, friction breaks down MWCNTs into graphitic fragments, which are slowly released, forming a protective tribofilm.

Unequal Spaces, Unequal Minds: How Spatial Inequality Drives Excessive Educational Consumption

Psychology &Marketing, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The after‐school educational services market is booming, driven by growing parental anxiety and demand for excessive tutoring. This paper identifies spatial inequality, defined as the uneven distribution of resources across geographic areas, as a key driver that pushes parents toward excessive consumption of educational products.
