Biodiversity and bird welfare in evaluation of tourism impact and sustainability in arid environment

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Nature‐based tourism is rapidly expanding in arid regions, raising concerns about its long‐term sustainability and potential impacts on biodiversity. However, empirical evidence evaluating its effects on both species diversity and animal welfare remains limited.

Mechanical Performance Retention of CNT‐Modified Sisal Biocomposites Under Hygrothermal‐Saline Aging

Polymer Composites, EarlyView.
Mechanical Performance Retention of CNT‐Modified Sisal Biocomposites Under Hygrothermal‐Saline Aging. ABSTRACT This study investigates the influence of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) on the moisture absorption kinetics and mechanical degradation of discontinuous random fiber (DRF) biocomposites under accelerated hygrothermal–saline (HTS) aging.

Exploring eco‐evolutionary and temporal patterns of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal communities colonizing Sorghum bicolor across sites of contrasting land use history and climate

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Sorghum bicolor is a globally important cereal crop with annual yields exceeding 50 million tons across more than 100 countries and can be grown on marginal lands where conventional agriculture is limited. We examined how eight genetically diverse sorghum genotypes shaped arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal (AMF) community assembly across two contrasting ...

Aboveground herbivory elevates belowground rhizosphere volatile organic compound concentrations in ambient and polluted air, independent of volatile sampling methodology

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
The effect of air pollution on plants is still underexplored, especially belowground. We used a field facility that released diesel exhaust and ozone at concentrations equivalent to those near a busy road in Reading, UK, to measure belowground gas exchange of Scots pine together with feeding by large pine weevils, a major pest of conifers.

The functional role of ants in no‐till cropping systems

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Ants provide valuable ecosystem services in tropical agriculture, but their roles in temperate row crops remain poorly understood. Conservation practices such as no‐till farming and cover cropping support ant communities that contribute to pest suppression, weed seed removal, and soil quality, which can increase crop productivity.
