The future of how we understand and manage ecosystems largely depends on direct and continuous observations that connect local territories to planetary processes. Latin America (LATAM: Mexico, Central and South America, and the Caribbean) hosts ecosystems critical for regulating global carbon, water, and energy cycles. However, persistent underinvestment in science and technology hampers the long‐term monitoring capacity neede...

Ironstone is a decorative stone widely used in landscaping projects. Due to the presence of iron in its structure, it presents itself as a potential material to be used as a catalyst in Fenton reactions. In this work, ironstone powder was first used as a photo-Fenton catalyst for the abatement of organic pollutants in water. Characterization techniques indicated that the material has a significant iron content (20 wt.%), being...
