A Spatial Clustering Approach of Economic Activities: An Application to the Agribusiness Sector in Brazil's Midwest Region

Geographical Analysis, Volume 58, Issue 4, October 2026.
ABSTRACT The spatial distribution of economic activities is central to regional economics. However, empirical tools for comparing industries based on the similarity of their spatial distributions remain limited. Traditional cluster analysis typically ignores geographical distance and connectivity, while spatial methods focus on clustering places rather

Additives Enhancing Biodegradability in Plastics and Potential Implications for Textiles: A Mechanistic Review

Journal of Applied Polymer Science, Volume 143, Issue 35, September 15, 2026.
Mechanistic insights from additive‐assisted plastic degradation guide the design of environmentally adaptive textile fibers. Functional additives enhance oxidative, hydrolytic, enzymatic, and microbial degradation pathways. Translating these strategies requires control of fiber architecture, additive distribution, and environmental interactions ...

Common coastal best management practice materials are a microplastic source

Journal of Environmental Quality, Volume 55, Issue 5, September/October 2026.
Abstract Coastal development has led to a reframing of shoreline protection best management practices (BMPs), which use geotextiles for erosion control and shoreline stabilization. One risk of geotextile use in dynamic coastal environments is degradation into microplastics.

Agro-Circular Economy: Produced Volume and Rates of Sisal Residues (Pulp and Broken Fiber) on Development of Sisal Seedlings in Bahia/Brazil

Agronomy
During sisal defibration, large amounts of residues are produced, classified as liquid (green juice) and solid (pulp/mucilage and broken fiber). Pulp/mucilage and broken fiber have been used for sisal fertilization by farmers in Brazil, but no studies ...

Putting the Mess in Order: Aspergillus welwitschiae (and Not A. niger) Is the Etiological Agent of Sisal Bole Rot Disease in Brazil

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2018
Approximately 75% of the worldwide production of hard natural fibers originates from sisal, an industrial crop from arid and semiarid tropical regions. Brazil is the world's largest producer of sisal fiber, accounting for more than 40% of the worldwide ...
