Flowering out of sync: Climate change alters the reproductive phenology of Terminalia paniculata in the Western Ghats of India

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Understanding how climate change impacts the plant life cycle is critical for maintaining biodiversity and ecosystem services. Our findings suggest that Terminalia paniculata Roth, a common tropical deciduous tree species in the Western Ghats, is now flowering and fruiting at more scattered times than it used to in the past.

Effects of Pyrolysis Control Parameters on the Structural Properties of Biomass‐Derived Activated Carbon Materials and Their Energy Applications

open access: yesThe Chemical Record, EarlyView.
Tubular pyrolysis synthesis is a widespread method to produce activated carbons (ACs). This review focuses on the different controlling parameters of the tubular pyrolysis synthesis method and their influence on the performance of synthesized ACs, thereby considering both experimental aspects and the use of plant‐based biomasses (PBBs) as feedstock ...

Medicine for the Material World

open access: yesArchaeometry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT It is clear that many of the inorganic materials of antiquity have been used both as medicines for human ills and also as agents in technological processes. This paper speculates that there might have been a stronger link between these two functions in the past, based on the concept of “active agents”—materials that are efficacious at curing ...

Woollen fabric design with bioactive properties using Anatolian sweetgum tree (Liquidambar orientalis L.) leaves and fruits

open access: yesColoration Technology, EarlyView.
Abstract The recent focus among natural dyers is on identifying and utilising new natural dye sources. The current study explored the potential of the Anatolian sweetgum tree's leaves and fruits in providing bioactive properties with wool dyeing. In the dyeing process, iron (II) sulphate, alum, tannic acid and citric acid were used, and different ...
