Journal Article
Wang, J., Chan, F. K. S., Johnson, M. F., Chan, H. K., Cui, Y., Chen, J., & Chen, W.-Q. (2025). Material Cycles, Environmental Emissions, and Ecological Risks of Bisphenol A (BPA) in China and Implications for Sustainable Plastic Management. Environmental Science and Technology, 59(3), 1631-1646. https://doi.org/10.1021/acs.est.4c09876

Bisphenol A (BPA) is a high-production-volume plastic chemical, with ∼98% of its usage in China allocated to producing polycarbonate and epoxy resin, and its fugitive release threatens ecosystems. However, knowledge of its anthropogenic cycles, envir...

Land use, hydroclimate and damming influence organic carbon sedimentation in a flood pulse wetland, Malaysia (2024)
Journal Article
McGowan, S., Lacey, J. H., Engels, S., Boyle, J., Briddon, C., Leng, M. J., Moorhouse, H. L., Panizzo, V., & Shafiq, M. (2024). Land use, hydroclimate and damming influence organic carbon sedimentation in a flood pulse wetland, Malaysia. Journal of Quaternary Science, https://doi.org/10.1002/jqs.3672

Water bodies located in floodplains and tropical forests are known to be important carbon stores, but many are subjected to intensive pressures from damming, land use and climate changes. Sedimentary records preserve long-term archives for understand... Read More about Land use, hydroclimate and damming influence organic carbon sedimentation in a flood pulse wetland, Malaysia.

Global decoupling of functional and phylogenetic diversity in plant communities. Nature Ecology and Evolution, https://doi.org/10.1038/s41559-024-02589-0

Plant communities are composed of species that differ both in functional traits and evolutionary histories. As species’ functional traits partly result from their individual evolutionary history, we expect the functional diversity of communities to i...
