Abstract One of the critical challenges in agriculture is enhancing yield without compromising its foundation, a healthy environment and, particularly, soils. Hence, there an urgent need to identify management practices that simultaneously support soil health and production help achieve environmentally sound systems. To investigate how influences under realistic agronomic conditions, we conduct...

Abstract Mountain landscapes that are managed to provide several ecosystem services (ES) have the potential sustain high levels of biodiversity while also meeting multiple human needs. The promotion multifunctional has become an important policy target in land management and gained research traction under definition ES‐multifunctionality. However, scale dynamics patterns ES‐multifunctionality r...

Abstract Optical metasurfaces is a rapidly developing research field driven by its exceptional applications for creating easy-to-integrate ultrathin planar optical devices. The tight confinement of the local electromagnetic fields in resonant photonic nanostructures can boost many effects and offer novel opportunities nanoscale control light–matter interactions. However, once structure-only are...

Although it is widely acknowledged that gestures are complex functional elements of human communication, many current functional classification systems are rather rigid, implicitly assuming gestures to perform only one function at any given time. In this paper, we present a theoretical view on the inherent multifunctionality of speakers’ gestures, inspired by frameworks in structural-functional...

Prioritizing one function in biomaterial and biomedical device design goes hand in hand with compromises with respect to other functions. Strategies to overcome the limitations of such an approach for realizing novel fields of biomaterial application are critically evaluated to promote interdisciplinary and integrative research.
