Using wavelet coherence analysis, we examine how these variables int… Discover Sustainability (Springer) · 23 Jul 2026 Research & science Paludiculture - a scoping review of the agricultural, economic and social science literature IntroductionPaludiculture has emerged as a science-initiated land use concept for wet peatlands more than 25 years ago. While research accumulates especially for natural science topics, a recent synthesis for agricultural, economic and social science topics is lacking. We review agricultural, economic, and social science literature on paludiculture with three goals: (1) to explore the current e… Frontiers in Environmental Science · 23 Jul 2026 Research & science Improving learning and science outcomes in the Reservoir Observer Student Scientists (ROSS) program through reflection and skill building exercises The Reservoir Observer Student Scientists (ROSS) program engages high school students in year-round water quality monitoring to detect and understand cyanobacterial harmful algal blooms (cyanoHABs). This place-based participatory science program combines hands-on sampling, data analysis, and reflective learning to foster scientific literacy and contribute to environmental research. A mid-year d… Frontiers in Environmental Science · 23 Jul 2026 Research & science Concentrating human urine intrinsically inhibits urease activity Urea is the dominant nitrogen compound in human urine and represents a valuable fertiliser resource if enzymatic hydrolysis can be controlled during storage and processing. One method to recover urea and other plant-essential nutrients from urine for agricultural use is evaporative concentration. Here, we tested the hypothesis that evaporatively concentrating urine intrinsically suppresses urea… Frontiers in Environmental Science · 23 Jul 2026 Research & science Disentangling the drivers of green total factor productivity growth: how environmental protection tax acts through pollution reduction, factor allocation, and digital intelligence Within the context of high-quality development imperatives, understanding mechanisms through which environmental regulation elevates corporate green total factor productivity (GTFP) represents a critical research priority.
