Underground Lag: Fungal Community and Edaphic Legacies After Disturbance

open access: yesLand Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Páramos are neotropical mountain ecosystems that regulate water and store large amounts of carbon, but are increasingly degraded by agriculture and grazing. Although native vegetation often recolonizes after abandonment, belowground recovery remains poorly understood.

Reconstructing Early Human Subsistence in Near Oceania: New Insights From Matenkupkum and Matenbek

open access: yesInternational Journal of Osteoarchaeology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The colonization of New Ireland ~44–40,000 years ago represents the earliest evidence of human occupation in Near Oceania. Yet, the precise impacts of climatic changes on subsistence strategies during the Late Pleistocene, Last Glacial Maximum, and Holocene remain poorly understood.

Why do we burn? Examining arguments underpinning the use of prescribed burning to manage wildfire risk

open access: yesPeople and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Managing wildfire risk requires consideration of complex and uncertain scientific evidence as well as trade‐offs between different values and goals. Conflicting perspectives on what values and goals are most important, what ought to be done and what trade‐offs are acceptable complicate those decisions.

Lightweight Sheet Molding Compound Composites With Enhanced Mechanical Performance via Cellulose Nanocrystal Reinforcement

open access: yesPolymer Composites, EarlyView.
Mechanical Property Enhancement and 21% Density Reduction in CNC‐Reinforced Glass Fiber Composites. ABSTRACT The use of cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) as a sustainable, high‐performance alternative to partially replace calcium carbonate (CaCO3) in polyester sheet molding compound (SMC) composites is investigated.
