Suspended soils enrich local forest floor soils during the rainy season in a tropical monsoon rainforest of Hainan Island, South China

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science
IntroductionEpiphytic plants are abundant in rainforests and often serve as traps for litter and dust falling from the canopy. As it accumulates, this material can form nutrient rich soils, which are likely involved in local nutrient cycling and ...

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.

Precipitation and tree biomass correlate with the diversity and functional composition of tropical rainforest cricket assemblages across climate and disturbance gradients

open access: yesEcography, EarlyView.
Disturbance‐driven changes in rainforest structure and environmental conditions can alter ecosystem functioning, yet the consequences for invertebrate communities – key contributors to decomposition, herbivory, and trophic interactions – are not fully understood, particularly in relation to structural changes in vegetation.

Performance Comparison of Monocrystalline, Polycrystalline, Low Concentrated, and Bifacial PV Modules in a Particular Geographic Location of South India

open access: yesEnergy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.
This study aims to conduct a performance comparison of irradiation and temperature on different commercially available PV modules like PPVM, MPVM, LPVM, and BPVM. Here, the TPVM is not considered in the analysis due to its toxic nature. This study has considered the LPVM because researchers have not focused on it due to the higher area requirement for ...

Deformation and Shear Strength Characteristics of Some Tropical Peat and Organic Soils [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
Peat and organic soils commonly occur as extremely soft, unconsolidated surficial deposits that are an integral part of the wetland systems. They may also occur as strata beneath other surficial deposits.

Edible Antifungal Coatings Based on Litchi Chinensis Seed Starch Enriched With Pericarp Procyanidins for the Postharvest Preservation of Strawberries

open access: yesFood Chemistry International, EarlyView.
Lychee starch coatings enriched with procyanidins showed strong antifungal activity and effectively preserved strawberry quality postharvest, reducing weight loss, decay, and senescence. This highlights their potential as a sustainable natural alternative for shelf‐life extension and fungal control in fresh produce.

Performance of the Groenevelt and Grant Model for Fitting Soil Water Retention Data from Brazilian Soils

open access: yesRevista Brasileira de Ciência do Solo
The soil water retention curve (SWRC) is essential for vadose zone hydrological modeling and related applications. In 2004, Groenevelt and Grant (GRT) presented a mathematical model for describing the SWRC and reported its mathematical versatility and ...
