Characterization of the ecological impacts of prescribed fire in South America: a review

Prescribed fire has been shown to offer substantial benefits to both human populations and ecosystems, but it can also cause environmental harm, such as reduced air quality and negative impacts on sensitive species. To support the appropriate use of prescribed fire, stakeholders...

Modeling the Distribution of Mountain Permafrost in Chile

Abstract. Mountain permafrost affects slope stability and hydrological processes, yet its distribution remains poorly understood in many parts of the world, including Chile. This study develops the first empirically calibrated national-scale high-resolution (30 m × 30 m) model of...

Fluorene- and Xanthene-Based Redox Mediators for Li–O2 Batteries: From Spiro-Linkage to Solo Moieties

Abstract Soluble charge redox mediators (RMs) are key to improving the reversibility and efficiency of lithium–oxygen (Li–O2) batteries by facilitating the oxidation of discharge products and reducing charge overpotentials. In this work, we report on two prospective RMs, F-OMeTAD...
