Landscape composition and heterogeneity are considered important factors for enhancing biodiversity and their associated ecosystem services in human-modified landscapes. Despite their roles in pest suppression in agricultural ...

The coastal rivers of the São Paulo State in SE Brazil have different lengths and seawater influence. We evaluated whether: (1) environmental heterogeneity (EH) is associated with the species and life-form richness of ...

Agricultural intensification is one of the major factors driving biodiversity loss. However, most studies in human-dominated landscapes have used taxonomic diversity in their analysis, ignoring evolutionary relationships. ...

Fine powder dispersions of MgH2 - TiH2 composites were obtained through different manufacturing routes using reactive mechanical grinding. The as prepared powder dispersions were subjected to hydrogen sorption kinetics and ...

Aluminium alloy (AA) 2024-T3 is an important engineering material due to its widespread use in the aerospace industry. However, it is very prone to localized corrosion attack in chloride containing media, which has been ...

In times of rethinking production processes and consumption habits to minimize the effects of global warming, it is crucial to find alternatives that lead to replacing fossil fuels by renewable materials. The development ...

Spatial heterogeneity of vegetation is considered to be one of the most important factors that can influence species richness in a region and, therefore, an important driver for species diversity. Here, we investigate how ...
