Botanic and heritage gardens as living laboratories in the age of the polycrisis

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Societal Impact Statement Cities face intertwined crises of climate, biodiversity loss and social disconnection. We show how botanic and heritage gardens can help address these challenges as living laboratories to generate place‐based evidence and public engagement.

Life cycle assessment of selected maritime pine wood industries in the Landes de Gascogne forest of France

Cleaner Environmental Systems
Forestry is a vital part of natural systems and has traditionally supplied renewable raw materials for industrial uses and domestic fuelwood. Life Cycle Assessment has become one of the most recognized and internationally accepted method for examining ...

Carbon footprint of wooden and plastic pallets: A quantification with different software tools

Maderas: Ciencia y Tecnología, 2022
Transport is one of the activities that generates the highest CO2eq emissions. In the particular case of Chile, it is the second economic activity that generates the greatest environmental impact. The safe and efficient transport of products in domestic

Plant species are more important to bacterial community composition than seeding ratio in a pea‐canola intercropping system

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Demand for agricultural land has increased due to rising demand for food, potentially leading to expansion into previously untouched habitats, which threatens refugia of native plants. We aimed to provide insight into how variation in seeding ratio may impact soil bacterial communities in a pea‐canola intercropping system, potentially altering crop ...

Leveraging Life Cycle Assessment for Informing Packaging Eco‐Design and Eco‐Modulation

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Eco‐modulation is designed to promote the adoption of eco‐design. However, in practice, its application is mostly concentrated on end‐of‐life (EoL) optimization. This study addresses the gap by proposing a framework to assess product–packaging systems as integrated units throughout the full life cycle.

Field evaluation of condensed quebracho tannins (CQT) as a white‐tailed deer repellent for soybeans

Wildlife Society Bulletin, EarlyView.
Experimental design of study sites across the sampling area in Wilson County, North Carolina, USA, 2024. Map frame (A) represents the relative area in North Carolina, USA, where we conducted our study. Map frames (B), (C), and (D) represent experimental plots within fields used to assess the effects of condensed quebracho tannins on soybean height ...

Maternal glucocorticoids have persistent effects on offspring social phenotype irrespective of opportunity for social buffering

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
This study tests whether early‐life maternal association buffers offspring from the effects of prenatal stress in a facultatively social lizard. Despite clear effects of maternal glucocorticoids on growth and social behaviour, social associations did not mitigate these effects, revealing limits to social buffering in this species.

AUGURAL TERRITORIES: On the Prophetic Organizing of the Mid‐range

International Journal of Urban and Regional Research, EarlyView.
Abstract In this article I introduce the concept of augural territories to theorize the urbanism that emerged during pandemic lockdowns. I draw on ethnographic research in Madrid to examine how community‐based responses—including mutual aid networks, food pantries and neighbourhood associations—disrupted the spatial and temporal logics of territorial ...

BEHIND THE FACES OF AESTHETICIZED URBANISM IN TUNXI, CHINA

International Journal of Urban and Regional Research, EarlyView.
Abstract Urban policy in China has become increasingly predicated on securing an approved aesthetic that reflects ideological campaigns and political programmes. In highlighting the role of the aesthetic in Chinese urbanism, this article argues that the party‐state draws on an aesthetic palette that places the contemporary urban landscape in a ...

Evaluation of the hardness properties of the thermally modified tree-of-heaven (Ailanthus altissima) for parquet production

Turkish Journal of Forestry
Developing wood-based industries such as structure, pallet, parquet etc., expanded the usage area of the wood. However, the development increased rivalry between these industries and naturally pressure to the forests for serving raw material.
