Land‐Use Shapes Soil Fungal Communities and Functional Guilds in Tropical Forest Ecosystems

Plant-Environment Interactions, Volume 7, Issue 4, August 2026.
Land‐use change is a major cause of biodiversity loss and soil degradation in tropical regions. The role of soil fungi, including arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF), though critical, is often overlooked. AMF communities across cropland, disturbed forest, and undisturbed forest vegetation in southwestern Nigeria were relatively resilient to land‐use ...

Synthesis and Characterization of Ag–Fe Bimetallic Nanoparticles and Nanocomposites (Alloys and Core–Shells) for Photocatalytic Degradation of Bromophenol Blue Dye Using Grewia optiva Leaf Extract

Asia-Pacific Journal of Chemical Engineering, Volume 21, Issue 3, May/June 2026.
ABSTRACT Ag–Fe bimetallic nanoparticles (alloy and core–shell structures) were synthesized using Grewia optiva leaf extract through a green, phytochemical‐mediated approach. The effects of pH, temperature, extract concentration, and Ag:Fe molar ratio on nanoparticle formation were systematically optimized, enabling size‐controlled and morphologically ...
