The understanding of urban social-ecological systems requires integrated and interdisciplinary methods. This paper explores differences in the accessibility of urban green spaces (UGS) based on urban morphology. In contrast to other comparative analyses that followed simplified quantification of UGS provision and/or omitted the impact of morphological ...

People and Nature, EarlyView.Abstract Urban environments create unique challenges for wildlife, where dietary habits may reflect both ecological heterogeneity and societal disparities. In this study, we explored how social factors such as household income and human population density, and ecological factors such as tree canopy correlate with coyote (Canis latrans) diets in Seattle,

People and Nature, EarlyView.Abstract Urban nature provides essential ecosystem services, but their use and perception vary based on socio‐demographic factors, including settlement type, which reflects differences in socio‐economic and environmental conditions. This study compares how residents of new town developments (master‐planned areas) and unplanned settlements (organically ...

People and Nature, EarlyView.Abstract Urban community gardens are often assumed to enhance fine‐scale biodiversity, yet repeated disturbance and shared horticultural norms may also contribute to urban biotic homogenization—the convergence of species composition across spatial scales and sites within the urban matrix.

This research presents empirical evidence from medieval cities, demonstrating that the critical junctures and the punctuated equilibrium theory of urban dynamics accurately reflect the patterns of urban morphological change, explaining how even stable urban morphologies can undergo sudden, discontinuous transformations.By comparing the evolution of ...

Transforming Coastal Waste: Algae‐Based Recycled HDPE Composites for Enhanced Sustainability
Polymer Engineering &Science, EarlyView.Manufacturing and characterization of composites from beach‐cast algae waste combined with recycled high‐density polyethylene. ABSTRACT Growing environmental concerns are accelerating the development of more sustainable materials. This study successfully created a composite material by combining recycled high‐density polyethylene (HDPE) as the matrix ...

Electrospun fibrous sorbents for the removal of uranium and americium from aqueous media
Polymer International, EarlyView.Polymethacrylate‐based electrospun microfibers with tertiary amino functionalities are evaluated as adsorbents for U‐232 and Am‐241 in both simplified and complex (seawater) water matrices, highlighting their ability for efficient actinide removal. Abstract Polymethacrylate‐based electrospun microfibers containing tertiary amino functionalities were ...

Past, present and future of local crop evolution
PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Promoting agrobiodiversity is a promising strategy for mitigating the negative effects of climate change on global food security. We highlight the central role evolutionary processes play in harnessing the potential of local crops by integrating genomics, archaeology, ethnobotany and traditional ecological knowledge (TEK).
