THE AESTHETICS OF URBAN METABOLISM: Landscape, Design and the Politics of In/Visibility
International Journal of Urban and Regional Research, EarlyView.Abstract In this article, we chart the evolving aesthetic contours of urban metabolism across London, focusing on the River Lea and Thamesmead to the north and south of the River Thames, respectively. We begin in the nineteenth century, when these two sites formed critical nodes within a new sewerage system that relegated the city’s circulatory flows ...

Jasmonates enhance plants tolerance grown in Cd‐contaminated environments: A comprehensive overview
Annals of Applied Biology, EarlyView.Jasmonates (JAs) enhance plant tolerance to cadmium (Cd) stress by activating antioxidant defences but may reduce Cd uptake, limiting their effectiveness for phytoremediation. This review compiles studies that evaluated the effects of JA application on plants grown in Cd‐contaminated environments. Abstract Cadmium (Cd) is a toxic heavy metal and one of
