Alpha, beta and gamma diversity in relatively natural, mixed and transformed landscape scenarios

open access: yesEcography, EarlyView.
Biodiversity losses and biotic homogenisation associated with human‐induced land‐cover changes are key issues for ecology. However, the effects of human‐caused land‐use changes on biodiversity change at the landscape scale are not well understood. Combining the PREDICTS global biodiversity database with MODIS satellite‐based land cover from 2001 to ...

Physiology–microhabitat matching may help organisms cope with the thermal and hydric challenges under climate change: a tale of two lizards

open access: yesEcography, EarlyView.
Climate change is significantly affecting biodiversity, and organisms that depend on external temperature – such as ectotherms – are particularly vulnerable to these effects. Microhabitats provide refuge for species, thereby reducing exposure to thermal and hydric stress under climate change.

Carbon Dots: An Emerging Frontier for Green and Sustainable Civil Engineering Materials

open access: yesENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
Traditional civil engineering materials (CE materials) are usually involved with high‐energy consumption during manufacturing, significant maintenance costs, and substantial environmental impacts throughout their life cycles. The progress of nanotechnology is catalyzing a green and sustainable transformation within the field.

Meshing or Clashing Gears? Design (In)Coherences Between the EU Regulation on Deforestation‐Free Products and Third Country Environmental Regulations

open access: yesEnvironmental Policy and Governance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT As new regulations emerge to address deforestation and unsustainable land use, their interaction with existing national frameworks remains uncertain. This study examines the (in)coherence between the European Union Regulation on deforestation‐free products (EUDR) and domestic deforestation and land use regulations in Brazil, Cameroon and Gabon.

The Role of Digital Twin Technology in Enhancing Energy Efficiency in Buildings: A Systematic Literature Review

open access: yesEnergy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.
Digital Twin (DT) technology enhances building energy efficiency by enabling continuous monitoring, predictive maintenance, and operational optimization within Building Energy Management Systems. Through real‐time data integration and simulation, DTs provide dynamic feedback loops that optimize performance, reduce operational costs, and improve ...
