Nutrition Status of Trees on Spoil Heaps After Coal Mining Can Be Inferred From Seasonal Dynamics of Foliar Nutrient Concentrations

open access: yesLand Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT A stable vegetation cover on given habitat conditions can be one of the possible requirements for post‐mining sites, as it can prevent erosion and dustiness of these anthropogenic surfaces and bring several practical future benefits, such as biomass production and microclimate improvement.

A Non‐Antigenic Randomized Polyethylene Glycol/Poly(2‐Phenyl‐2‐Oxazine)‐Based Drug Delivery Platform

open access: yesMacromolecular Rapid Communications, EarlyView.
Randomized PEG (rPEG), a conceptually new PEG alternative, is combined with poly(2‐phenyl‐2‐oxazine) (PPheOzi) to establish an rPEG‐b‐PPheOzi‐b‐rPEG micellar drug delivery platform. The PPheOzi block enables high drug loadings, while competitive ELISA reveals a drastic reduction in anti‐PEG antibody affinity of rPEG in comparison to PEG.

Forbs in Viking lands: the effect of disturbing dominant graminoids on recruitment in tundra grasslands

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
Grasslands, by definition, are dominated by graminoids. Nevertheless, forbs also make up a substantial part of vascular plant diversity in grasslands and are important resources of mammalian herbivores. However, forb recruitment is constrained by successful dominant graminoids, limiting access to safe sites for germination.
