New copolymers with fluorinated and non-fluorinated benzothiadiazole units for efficient single layer near infra-red photodiodes with fast time response

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- We describe the synthesis and photodetecting properties of new, low band-gap copolymers: P1 with 5,6-difluoro-2,1,3-benzothiadiazole and P2 with 2,1,3-benzothiadiazole, both containing diketopyrrolopyrrole acceptor units. These compounds have been used for fabrication of single layer, solution processed photodetectors. For this purpose, two blends with fullerene derivative (6,6)-phenyl-C61-butyric acid methyl ester ([60]PCBM): P1: [60]PCBM and P2:[60]PCBM, were prepared and applied as active layers in bulk-heterojunction photodiodes. For near infrared light (810 nm), these photodetectors, in spite of single layer structure, display competitive performance, showing specific detectivity up to 5.10(11) Jones, responsivity up to 0.3 A/W and rise and fall times of the transient signals below 10 mu s.

Global fine-resolution data on springtail abundance and community structure
- 2024

In: Scientific Data. - : Nature Publishing Group. - 2052-4463. ; 11:1
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Springtails (Collembola) inhabit soils from the Arctic to the Antarctic and comprise an estimated ~32% of all terrestrial arthropods on Earth. Here, we present a global, spatially-explicit database on springtail communities that includes 249,912 occurrences from 44,999 samples and 2,990 sites. These data are mainly raw sample-level records at the species level collected predominantly from private archives of the authors that were quality-controlled and taxonomically-standardised. Despite covering all continents, most of the sample-level data come from the European continent (82.5% of all samples) and represent four habitats: woodlands (57.4%), grasslands (14.0%), agrosystems (13.7%) and scrublands (9.0%). We included sampling by soil layers, and across seasons and years, representing temporal and spatial within-site variation in springtail communities. We also provided data use and sharing guidelines and R code to facilitate the use of the database by other researchers. This data paper describes a static version of the database at the publication date, but the database will be further expanded to include underrepresented regions and linked with trait data.

Globally invariant metabolism but density-diversity mismatch in springtails
- 2023

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Soil life supports the functioning and biodiversity of terrestrial ecosystems. Springtails (Collembola) are among the most abundant soil arthropods regulating soil fertility and flow of energy through above- and belowground food webs. However, the global distribution of springtail diversity and density, and how these relate to energy fluxes remains unknown. Here, using a global dataset representing 2470 sites, we estimate the total soil springtail biomass at 27.5 megatons carbon, which is threefold higher than wild terrestrial vertebrates, and record peak densities up to 2 million individuals per square meter in the tundra. Despite a 20-fold biomass difference between the tundra and the tropics, springtail energy use (community metabolism) remains similar across the latitudinal gradient, owing to the changes in temperature with latitude. Neither springtail density nor community metabolism is predicted by local species richness, which is high in the tropics, but comparably high in some temperate forests and even tundra. Changes in springtail activity may emerge from latitudinal gradients in temperature, predation and resource limitation in soil communities. Contrasting relationships of biomass, diversity and activity of springtail communities with temperature suggest that climate warming will alter fundamental soil biodiversity metrics in different directions, potentially restructuring terrestrial food webs and affecting soil functioning.
