Raman Signature of the Wings of the Globe Skimmer Dragonfly: Pantala flavescens

open access: yesJournal of Raman Spectroscopy, EarlyView.
Raman spectroscopy is used to confirm the presence of aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons and related derivatives including aldehydes, halides, alcohols, acids, esters, and phenols on the wings of Pantala flavescens. The analysis indicates that wing‐surface lipid composition is largely consistent across the three main ecological zones in Ghana. Notably,

Optimizing germination and cultivation of edible halophytes using effluents from an IMTA system

open access: yesJournal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND Halophytes offer nature‐based solutions to food insecurity and soil degradation, while their integration into integrated multi‐trophic aquaculture (IMTA) systems promotes circular economy practices. This study aimed to optimize the germination and cultivation of edible halophytic species, namely Limbarda crithmoides, Suaeda vera and

Mapping Skid Trails and Evaluating Soil Disturbance From UAV‐Based LiDAR Surveys in Mediterranean Forests

open access: yesLand Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Soil disturbance resulting from forest harvesting activities can have significant and lasting environmental consequences, particularly in sensitive ecosystems such as Mediterranean forests. Skid trails, the routes used by machinery to extract timber, are among the most critical areas of impact, and their detection is critical for assessing ...

Enhancing Soil Aggregation and Water Retention by Applying Kaolinite Clay to Post‐Tin‐Mined Land on Belitung Island, Indonesia

open access: yesLand Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Post‐mining sandy soils have low water retention, which causes soil particle separation and persistent soil erosion. Although organic matter is commonly used for soil restoration, it is lightweight, washes away during heavy rain, and decomposes under strong sunlight.
