In this paper, we have formulated and analysed a mathematical model to investigate the impacts of lockdown on the dynamics of forestry biomass, wildlife species and pollution. For this purpose, we have considered a nonlinear system of four ordinary differential equations representing rates of change of the density of forestry biomass, the density of wildlife species, the concentration of pollutants and lockdown. Conditions for the existence, uniqueness and local stability of all equilibria along with the global stability of the interior equilibrium point are derived. Furthermore, conditions that influence the persistence of the system are obtained. By formulating an optimal control problem, the optimal strategies for minimizing the cost of implementation of lockdown as well as the concentration of pollutants are also studied. Numerical simulations are carried out to verify and validate our analytical findings. By this study, we have observed that implementation of lockdown for a sufficient period of time minimizes excessive harvesting of both forestry biomass and wildlife species and the concentration of pollutants in the environment. It is also found that lockdown policy is effective in the optimal control of atmospheric pollution. Therefore, lockdown plays a significant role in the dynamics of forestry biomass, wildlife species and control of pollution in the environment.

A convenient method is proposed using a heat-treatable volatile template to prepare hierarchical porous biochar (HPB). Litsea cubeba leaves and ZIF-8 served as carbon source and volatile hard template, respectively. The good compatibility between ZIF-8 and biomass facilitated their uniform dispersion, and the thermal decomposition of ZIF-8 created abundant pores in the HPB.

The leaf economics spectrum (LES) characterizes a tradeoff between building a leaf for durability versus for energy capture and gas exchange, with allocation to leaf dry mass per projected surface area (LMA) being a key trait underlying this tradeoff. However, regardless of the biomass supporting the leaf, high rates of gas exchange are typically accomplished by small, densely packed stomata on the leaf surface, which is enabled by smaller genome sizes. Here, we investigate how variation in genome size-cell size allometry interacts with variation in biomass allocation (i.

Poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAM) composite hydrogels have recently emerged as promising candidates for soft hydrogel actuators. However, developing a facile and fast method to obtain multifunctional PNIPAM hydrogel actuators with simulating biological versatility remains a major challenge. Herein, we developed a fast-redox initiation system to prepare PNIPAM/sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC)/TCT MXene nanocomposite hydrogel with multidirectional actuating behaviors and improved mechanical properties.
