Gradient‐Oxidized Bacterial Cellulose for Self‐Sustained Soil Moisture Sensing

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
An asymmetric encapsulated bacterial cellulose device integrates a gradient‐oxidized BC framework with a LiCl‐doped Ecoflex hygroscopic layer, enabling self‐powered soil moisture monitoring through directional ion transport. The device sustains stable hydrovoltaic output, supports deep‐learning humidity classification, and fully biodegrades in soil ...

Background insect herbivory increases with local elevation but makes minor contribution to element cycling along natural gradients in the Subarctic

Ecology and Evolution, 2020
Herbivores can exert major controls over biogeochemical cycling. As invertebrates are highly sensitive to temperature shifts (ectothermal), the abundances of insects in high‐latitude systems, where climate warming is rapid, is expected to increase.

Evaluation of ACCESS-S1 seasonal forecasts of growing season precipitation for Western Australia’s wheatbelt region [PDF]

Journal of Southern Hemisphere Earth Systems Science, 2023
Seasonal forecasts are increasingly important tools in agricultural crop management. Regions with Mediterranean-type climates typically adopt rain-fed agriculture with minimal irrigation, hence accurate seasonal forecasts of rainfall during the growing ...

Next Generation Antimicrobial Coatings for High Touch Surfaces: Application, Benefits, Risks, Environmental Impacts and Sustainability Aspects

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Antimicrobial coatings for high touch surfaces promise infection control but are too often validated only in the lab. This review shows that active‐agent release governs both human toxicity and environmental impact and argues that durability and real‐world performance must be primary design criteria, placing a safe‐and‐sustainable‐by‐design framework ...

Nickel‐Free Perovskite Solar Cells Enabled by Self‐Assembled Monolayers: A Pathway to Efficient and Recyclable Devices

Advanced Energy Materials, EarlyView.
Replacing toxic NiOx with phenyl‐substituted phosphonic‐acid carbazole monolayers (Ph‐5PACz) yields inverted perovskite solar cells that are efficient and recyclable. The nickel‐free interface reaches 25.3% efficiency and enables closed‐loop ITO recovery with near‐98% performance retention, while life‐cycle and techno‐economic analyses confirm lower ...

Exposure to heat waves and drought improves subsequent leaf heat tolerance for five oak species in southern California

American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise Given the threats of climate change, we investigated the impact of high temperatures separately and in combination with reduced soil water on leaf heat tolerance for five oaks (Fagaceae) with overlapping ranges in southern California, USA: Quercus agrifolia and Q. chrysolepis (evergreen species), Q. douglasii and Q.
