Hemiparasitic plant impacts animal and plant communities across four trophic levels [PDF]
, 2015 1.Understanding the impact of species on community structure is a fundamental question in ecology. There is a growing body of evidence that suggests that both sub-dominant species and parasites can have a disproportionately large impact.

Incorporating soil biological and functional attributes to advance ecological restoration
PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Earth is currently experiencing a mass extinction crisis, predominantly driven by anthropogenic activities, with land use change causing widespread loss and degradation of native ecosystems and indigenous species. There is an urgent need to halt this trend and restore degraded habitat to preserve biodiversity and protect threatened plants and animals ...

Switchable and reversible wetting properties
Responsive Materials, EarlyView.Reversible and switchable wettability is attainable by integrating stimuli‐responsive materials. This review categorizes different external stimuli capable of modulating wettability. Abstract Controlling surface wettability is essential for various applications such as water harvesting, oil/water separation, and smart skin technologies.
