Corrosion Performance of Steel and Zinc‐Based Materials in Diverse Unsaturated Soils: Insights From a 2‐Year Field Exposure

Materials and Corrosion, EarlyView.
The present study generated the corrosion performance of C‐steel, zinc, and galvanized steel in different global unsaturated soil environments for 2 years. Acceptable matching was observed between corrosion rates and identified corrosion products. To properly predict soil corrosion, the results showed that DIN 50929 should include a drainage‐capability

Bulbophyllum weddellii (Orchidaceae) demonstrates foliar water uptake plasticity along Brazilian campos rupestres

Nordic Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Phenotypic plasticity can facilitate species survival in a variety of conditions that are not possible with a fixed phenotype. Foliar water uptake (FWU), defined as the absorption of water through leaf surfaces, is an important mechanism contributing to plant water balance and drought tolerance in many species.

Asymmetric transferability of trait–environment relationships between native and exotic plant species in Singaporean forests differing in land‐use history

Oikos, EarlyView.
Functional traits allow ecologists to synthesise general rules of community assembly. In joint species distribution modelling, traits are increasingly used to explain species–environment relationships, with the intention of being able to generalise predictions to other species in other systems.

Dispersal‐limited birds at high risk from cattle farming deforestation in tropical forests

Oikos, EarlyView.
Deforestation driven by farming is a major threat to tropical biodiversity. Although this impact is well documented, assessments at local or regional scales often underestimate biodiversity loss at broader national scales by up to 60%. A key question remains: how do farming activities affect functional diversity and species traits across different ...

Do good neighbours compensate for bad climate? The case of sessile oak Quercus petraea in phylogenetically distant neighbourhoods

Oikos, EarlyView.
Stressful climates threaten the performance of individuals and the survival of species, but individual performance also depends on biotic interactions with neighbours, so that ‘good' neighbours might in theory compensate for ‘bad' climates. However, what makes a good neighbour, and why, has been little studied.
