Unsupervised ecosystem risk assessment in the Baltic Sea reveals bottom-oxygen depletion and fishing pressure as key threats in species-abundant hotspots

Abstract Marine ecosystems are increasingly shaped by the combined effects of multiple environmental and anthropogenic stressors, generating non-linear, spatially heterogeneous patterns of risks to ecosystem functioning. The Baltic Sea represents a paradigmatic system where geogr...

AVA‐MAPbI 3 Cap‐and‐Root Islands on Mesoporous TiO 2 Toward Neutral‐Color Semi‐Transparent Perovskite Solar Cells in Agrivoltaics

Semi‐transparent perovskite solar cells offer a route to agrivoltaics, combining electricity generation with controlled light transmission for crop cultivation. However, conventional perovskite films preferentially absorb blue photons, producing redshifted transmitted spectra tha...

Deciphering the genomic signatures of climate vulnerability across 77 sheep breeds

Abstract Among domesticated species, sheep ( Ovis aries ) have achieved a wide geographic distribution due to their mobility, rusticity and ability to adapt to diverse environments and climatic conditions. Here, we characterise the genome-wide diversity of >1,000 sheep representi...

A standardized field framework for integrated microbiological and geochemical sampling of deeply-sourced seeps across large-scale geological gradients

Accessing the deep subsurface biosphere remains a major challenge in Earth and planetary sciences. Drilling provides direct access but is costly, spatially restricted, and difficult to deploy at the scales required to investigate interactions between geological processes and micr...

Building bridges across borders to co-develop flood early warning in the Sahel

Flood risk in the Sahel has increased markedly over recent decades, driven by the intensification of hydro-climatic hazards and the rapid growth of exposure in urban and peri-urban areas. In this context, FEWSs (FEWSs) are increasingly recognized as a key component of climate ser...

Comparative Evaluation of Three Temporary Immersion System Bioreactors for Improved In Vitro Propagation and Terpene Production in Myrtus communis L.

Myrtus communis L. is an aromatic and medicinal plant commonly used in the pharmaceutical, food, and cosmetic industries for its bioactive compounds. Temporary immersion systems (TISs) are an efficient and cost-effective in vitro propagation method for enhancing biomass and secon...

Towards resilient forest establishment in Europe: functional traits, genetic diversity and multifunctional design

Abstract Forest restoration and afforestation across Europe are accelerating, yet the decision-making processes governing forest establishment remain unevenly examined, especially from a biodiversity perspective. Considering this and the global environmental changes of climate sh...

In vitro studies of detoxification by intravenous fat emulsions: mechanism of action and preclinical assessment tools

Introduction The use of intravenous fat emulsions for treatment of drug intoxication still follows a trial-and-error approach, due to insufficient understanding of the mechanisms of the process and lack of predictive in vitro tools.Methods We studied the physicochemical mechanism...

Molecular and Supramolecular Pathways for CO 2 Separation Membranes: Amine‐Functionalized Silica and Hydrogen‐Bonded Organic Frameworks

Efficient CO 2 capture from flue gas is fundamentally limited by the trade‐off between permeability, selectivity, and chemical stability. Amine‐functionalized sorbents (AFS) achieve high selectivity via strong chemisorption, but suffer from kinetic limitations, pore blocking, and...
