Understanding the effects of patch‐burn grazing management on aboveground grassland invertebrate biodiversity

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
Landscape heterogeneity is widely recognized as a driver of biodiversity, yet its consequences for above‐ground, foliage‐dwelling insect communities under active grassland management remain underexplored. Patch‐burn grazing (PBG), which rotates fire across patches within a grazed landscape, is designed to promote spatial and temporal heterogeneity by ...

Enabling effective urban green space stewardship through planning: A qualitative comparative analysis in Southwest England

open access: yesPeople and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Amid increasing urbanisation and biodiversity decline, ‘effective stewardship’ of urban green space (UGS) is a complex but critical nature‐based solution for long‐term environmental, social and economic gain. Combining stewardship and sense‐of‐place frameworks with European nature‐based solutions guidance, we investigate which social and ...

Multi‐Scale Characterization of PLA Composites With Natural‐Based Reinforcements: From Filament to 3D‐Printed Parts

open access: yesPolymer Composites, EarlyView.
Thermal, microstructural, and mechanical characterization of 3D‐printed PLA composite parts. ABSTRACT To address plastic waste and agricultural residue underutilization, this study evaluates the thermal (DSC and FTIR), microstructural (SEM), and mechanical behavior of polylactic acid (PLA) reinforced with flax fibers and olive pit particles, processed ...

Compatibilization and Reinforcement of PHB/PBAT Blends via Sequential Blending of Surface‐Modified Cellulose

open access: yesPolymer Engineering &Science, EarlyView.
Sequential blending improved the mechancial properties of PHB/PBAT/cellulose composites as compared to the one‐step batch mixing method. ABSTRACT Polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) is a natural and biodegradable polymer generated by bacteria. While its applications to potentially replace petroleum‐based plastics are severely limited due to its brittleness and ...
