Adhesion between geopolymer matrix and vegetable fibers: effect of matrix composition and fiber treatment

Seeking to promote sustainable composites composed of a low-carbon matrix and a renewable reinforcement, this study evaluated the fiber–matrix adhesion of sisal fibers used as reinforcement in geopolymeric matrices produced by the alkaline activation of fiber cement waste, in com...

Integrating long-term demography and population genetics reveals the persistence of a threatened palm in fragmented Atlantic Forest landscapes

Anthropogenic disturbances are a major cause of extinction and population decline, especially in small, unprotected forest fragments where demographic and genetic challenges are more pronounced. Euterpe edulis , a key resource palm species in the Atlantic Forest, plays a crucial...

Case Studieson Sample Preparation with Diluted Acidfor Elemental Determination

Abstract Green chemistry provides a framework for redesigning laboratory practices to reduce environmental and safety impacts. In elemental analysis, replacing highly concentrated acids during sample preparation represents an important step toward more-sustainable practices. This...

Tropical-Forest Degradation–Restoration Interface: A Comprehensive Review

Tropical forests sustain exceptional biodiversity and regulate global carbon and water cycles, yet degradation and incomplete recovery increasingly compromise these functions. We integrated bibliometric mapping with structured systematic synthesis to characterize research at the...
