Tidal Flats as a Significant Carbon Reservoir in Global Coastal Ecosystems

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022
Tidal flats are widely distributed and provide a variety of ecosystem services. Nevertheless, the consequences of tidal flat loss and implications for services such as carbon (C) sequestration have not been assessed. In unvegetated tidal flat ecosystems,

Functionalizing Micro‐to‐Mesoscopic Electrode Architectures for Regulating Electron Transfer Behaviors in Electrocatalysis

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A systematic review is conducted to assess the influence of electrode architecture across micro‐ to mesoscopic length scales on electron‐transfer pathways in electrocatalysis. We discuss the structure‐activity relationships in electrocatalytic applications, including resource recovery and environmental remediation, and provide cost‐effective, efficient

Continental Scale Mapping of Tidal Flats across East Asia Using the Landsat Archive

Remote Sensing, 2012
Tidal flats provide habitat for biodiversity, protection from storm surges and sea level rise, and a range of other ecosystem services. However, no simple method exists for mapping tidal flats over large (>1,000 km) extents, and ...

Nanomaterial Strategies for Pulmonary Delivery of Immunotherapeutics in Lung Cancer Treatment

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Inhalable immunotherapeutic nanomedicines enable organ‐selective immune modulation by overcoming pulmonary delivery barriers and concentrating therapy within lung tumors. This Review defines how nanomaterial properties govern airway deposition, retention, cellular partitioning, and immune activation across vaccines, checkpoint blockade, STING agonists,

Biofacies and taphofacies of a Holocene macrotidal environment: Bahia La Cholla, Northern Gulf of California

Ciencias Marinas, 1994
Recognition of the paleoenvironmental significance of biofacies and taphofacies in the fossil record is greatly aided by their study in modern sedimentary environments. Holocene molluscan shell assemblages of Bahia la Cholla, a macrotidal shallow marine

Distribution, sources and influencing factors of organic carbon in the surface sediments of the coastal tidal flats in Jiangsu Province

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023
Coastal tidal flats are situated in the interaction zone between the ocean and land and are vulnerable to natural changes, human activities, and global changes; these areas serve as an important mixing zone and burial area for carbon and nitrogen storage.

Rational Tuning of Hygroscopic Oscillation of Stacked Nanoflake Assemblies for Continuous Ambient Energy Harvesting

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Stacked nanoflake assembly (SNA) membranes can oscillate autonomously, offering opportunities for soft actuation and energy harvesting. This work uncovers the physical mechanism behind the sustained oscillation of SNA membranes in gradient humidity and identifies three governing dimensionless parameters, enabling rational design for optimizing SNA ...
