Influence of spatial connectivity on the spread of Mpox in Maï-Ndombe province, Democratic Republic of the Congo, 2025

<title>Abstract</title> <bold>Background</bold> The spread of Mpox in the DRC is strongly influenced by human mobility in a context of environmental constraints and inequalities in accessibility. The province of Maï-Ndombe, with its fragmented transport network and dependence on...

Population turnover and food-web reorganization sustain acetoclastic methanogenesis at 45 °C in tropical paddy soil

Moderately thermophilic temperatures (45 °C) are widely expected to suppress acetoclastic methanogenesis in paddy soils because thermodynamic constraints favor syntrophic acetate oxidation coupled with hydrogenotrophic pathways. However, tropical paddy soils often deviate from th...

Nanotechnology-Enabled Remediation of Contaminated Soils: Mechanisms, Soil Constraints, Environmental Risks, and Implications for Sustainable Land Management

Engineered nanomaterials have been increasingly proposed for the treatment of contaminated soils. Nevertheless, most available evidence has been obtained in water, artificial substrates or short-term laboratory experiments, and performance in real soil is substantially more varia...
