Effect of vegetation on sound fields in idealised urban open spaces [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Noise pollution is a major environmental problem within the EU and during the last years vegetation was examined for its benefits in increasing health and well-being of citizens from different viewpoints, including noise control and soundscape ...

Conflict of Laws in the Uniform Commercial Code [PDF]

open access: yes, 1951
Pulsatilla vernalis is one of several endangered plant species that benefit from wildfires and small scale disturbance events that repel competing vegetation and create open patches in the vegetation cover. Previous studies argue that Pulsatilla vernalis

Bioinspired Shape‐Memory Hook Fasteners With Programmable Interlocking and Silent Release

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Bioinspired hook fasteners made from epoxy shape‐memory polymers are shown to switch between strong, secure attachment and gentle, silent release when heated. By combining programmable geometry and material response, these adaptive fasteners outperform commercial systems in strength and noise control, enabling new solutions for robotics, medical ...

Effects of shrub encroachment on soil aggregates and organic carbon vary in different grasslands in Inner Mongolia, China

open access: yesEcosphere, 2021
Widespread shrub encroachment in grasslands can lead to changes in soil aggregates and soil organic carbon (SOC), especially in deep soils. Soil aggregates physicochemically protect SOC and thus affect soil carbon sequestration.

Quantified vegetation change over 42 years at Cape Hallett, East Antarctica [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
This paper reports on the remapping of a carefully documented vegetation plot at Cape Hallett (72°19′S 170°16′E) to provide an assessment of the rates of vegetation change over decadal time scales. E.D.

Soil labile organic carbon indicating seasonal dynamics of soil organic carbon in northeast peatland

open access: yesEcological Indicators, 2022
Peatlands have persisted as massive carbon pool in terrestrial ecosystem. Labile organic carbon (LOC) plays a vital role in carbon cycling in high-latitude peatlands, which is an important indicator of seasonal soil organic carbon (SOC) dynamics. However,

Transition from connected to fragmented vegetation across an environmental gradient: scaling laws in ecotone geometry [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
A change in the environmental conditions across space—for example, altitude or latitude—can cause significant changes in the density of a vegetation type and, consequently, in spatial connectivity.
