Standing tall together: Peatland vascular plants facilitate Sphagnum moss microtopography by Yvet Telgenkamp, Bjorn J.M. Robroek, Line Rochefort, Harry E.R. Shepherd, Rosa W.C. Boone, Carrie L. Thomas

“…In light of the competition–facilitation gradient between peatland plants, the role of vascular plants as facilitators for peatland microhabitat formation is mainly overlooked.Using a long-term vascular plant removal experiment in Store Mosse National Park, Sweden, this study assesses the role of the functional type composition of the vascular plant community as a mechanical structure to support the peat moss (Sphagnum) carpet.Our data highlights the importance of vascular plant functional type diversity in facilitating the structure of the Sphagnum carpet. …”

Dynamic Response and Reliability Assessment of Power Transmission Towers Under Wind-Blown Sand Loads by Jun Lu, Jin Li, Xiaoqian Ma, Weiguang Tian, Linfeng Zhang, Peng Zhang

“…These gaps are bridged in the present study through the development of a refined impact force model grounded in Hertz contact theory, which captures transient collision mechanics and energy dissipation during sand–structure interactions. Validated against field data from northwest China, the model enables a comprehensive parametric analysis of wind speed (5–60 m/s), sand density (1000–3500 kg/m³), elastic modulus (5–100 GPa), and Poisson’s ratio (0.1–0.4). …”
