A novel type of graphene-like nanoparticle, synthesized by oxidation and unfolding of C60 buckminsterfullerene fullerene, showed multiple and reproducible sensitivity to Cu2+, Pb2+, Cd2+, and As(III) through different degrees of fluorescence quenching or, in the case of Cd2+, through a remarkable fluorescence enhancement.Most importantly, only for
Frequent applications of synthetic insecticides might cause environmental pollution due to the high residue.In addition, increasing insecticide resistance in many insect pests echofix spring reverb requires novel pest control methods.Nanotechnology could be a promising field of modern agriculture, and is receiving considerable attention in the deve
This study contributes to understanding ecological changes in land use following slash-and-burn land clearing.This study aimed to compare the richness and density of plant species and soil fertility in farmland cultivated for one year (1 Y), three years (3 Y), and five years (5 Y) after slash-and-burn, with the conditions in the secondary forest (S
Grazing is an influential land use that has introduced profound changes in worldwide landscapes, ecosystems and their species.In this paper, we analysed the influence of grazing on the presence and abundance of the endangered Mioscirtus wagneri, a monophagous grasshopper inhabiting inland hypersaline ecosystems in Spain and showing a marked spatial
