Development of a sustainable water treatment process using biochar as substrate for filtration and coliform removal

The Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
Preparation, modification, and characterization of biochar from woodchips and its application in stream water filtration, evaluated through physicochemical and microbiological analyses. Abstract Global microbial water contamination affects 1.8 billion people, necessitating efficient and sustainable treatment methods.

Towards a Biodiversity Positive Business Strategy: The MCRV (Monitoring, Conserving, Restoring, Valorizing) Framework

Corporate Social Responsibility and Environmental Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Despite mounting regulatory pressure and growing scientific consensus on biodiversity loss, most corporate action remains reactive, fragmented, and strategically peripheral. Existing frameworks address what firms should report rather than how they can build the organizational capabilities required to act strategically.

BTH-Induced Resistance in Rice Impairs Magnaporthe oryzae Metabolic Fitness and Suppresses Key Virulence Genes

Agronomy
Induced resistance primes host immunity for enhanced protection; however, how pathogens respond to this primed state remains poorly understood. Here, we investigated the molecular responses of the rice blast fungus Magnaporthe oryzae during infection of ...

Responses of Biomass and Allometric Growth Equations of Juvenile Mangrove Plants to Salinity, Flooding, and Aboveground Competition

Horticulturae
China has implemented large-scale mangrove restoration and afforestation initiatives in recent years. However, there has been a paucity of research on the growth of mangrove seedlings in a composite stress environment and the allometric growth equation ...

Increase in plant productivity in the tundra in Sweden is not related to increasing presence of warm‐adapted vascular plant species

Ecography, EarlyView.
Over the past decades, Arctic and alpine biomes have warmed faster than the global average. Substantial vegetation changes have been reported as a response to this warming, including increased productivity and the spread of warm‐adapted (thermophilic) species that are less resistant to grazing pressure into higher latitudes and altitudes.

Discovery of a novel series of phenylthiazole thioether (sulfone) compounds based on natural thiasporine A as potential candidates for controlling rice fungal and bacterial diseases

Food and Energy Security
Half of the world's population depends on rice for their calories. Protecting rice in the growth period from damage caused by phytopathogens is faced with a great challenge under the frequent extreme climate.

Microplastics Alter Growth and Reproduction Strategy of Scirpus mariqueter by Modifying Soil Nutrient Availability

Diversity
Microplastic pollution threatens coastal wetland ecosystems, yet its impacts on the dominant plant species and soil properties remain poorly understood. We investigated the effects of four microplastic types (PP, PE, PS, PET) at three concentrations (0.1%

Stochastic and deterministic processes influencing mountain mire diatom communities across spatial scales

Ecography, EarlyView.
Understanding how deterministic and stochastic processes influence the shape of microorganism community assembly across different spatial scales is essential for disentangling biodiversity patterns. Mires are nutrient‐poor and heterogeneous wetlands that form isolated habitats supporting highly diverse diatom assemblages, particularly in mountainous ...
