From niche to scale: enabling factors for saline agriculture in the North Sea and Mediterranean regions

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND Salinisation is one of the most pressing environmental challenges affecting agricultural land and food production worldwide. Although the challenge is substantial, saline agriculture represents a promising approach that integrates soil, water and crop management practices tailored to salt‐affected lands, enabling both adaptation to ...

Aquatic and Littoral Successions in Various Post‐Mining Sites—Patterns and Possible Use in Ecological Restoration

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Vegetation succession in aquatic and littoral habitats has received much less attention than terrestrial habitats have. We sampled differently aged successional stages at five different types of post‐mining sites, that is, sandpits, stone quarries, clay quarries, brown coal spoil heaps and black coal subsidences, across the Czech Republic ...

Red, green, blue color indices as proxy for Symbiodiniaceae cell density and chlorophyll content during coral bleaching

Limnology and Oceanography: Methods, EarlyView.
Abstract Coral bleaching, the breakdown of the symbiosis between the coral host and endosymbiotic microalgae, is the main cause of widespread coral reef degradation. Current visual assessment methods for coral health, including color reference cards, are constrained by subjective human color perception and limited resolution.

Eliciting Mental Time Travel Through Digital Product Displays and Its Positive Influence on Purchase‐Oriented Outcomes

Psychology &Marketing, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Drawing on cognitive science research, this study explores mental time travel and its elicitation through digital product displays. Specifically, we examine how digital product displays elicit mental time travel to the past and future and how this cognitive process positively influences three purchase‐oriented outcomes: inspiration to purchase,

Synthesis of Telechelic‐Type Polypeptides Functionalized with Aromatic Units and the Characterization of Their Structures and Thermal Properties

Macromolecular Rapid Communications, EarlyView.
Polypeptide chains were extended from both ends of aromatic diamines by chemoenzymatic polymerization, resulting in the synthesis of telechelic polyglycines (TPG) and polyalanines (TPA). These telechelic polymers assembled into branched nanofibrils through π‐π stacking of aromatic rings, with the polymer backbones bent at the aromatic unit.
