A pellet‐based approach for moss biocrust inoculation: high establishment under laboratory conditions, challenges in the field

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Biological soil crusts (biocrusts) are key components of soil ecosystems and promising tools for ecological restoration. Mosses, as important biocrust constituents, contribute to ecosystem functioning but often fail to establish after inoculation due to harsh environmental constraints.

Rheological Properties of Carboxymethyl Cellulose Solutions and Gels: An Overview

Journal of Applied Polymer Science, Volume 143, Issue 40, October 20, 2026.
The rheology of carboxymethyl cellulose is determined by the balance between electrostatic interactions, chain entanglements and association of unsubstituted cellulose‐like domains. The degree of substitution, substitution pattern, added salt concentration and pH determine whether solutions behave as viscoelastic liquids or weak gels.

ZINC ADSORPTION IN BENTONITE CLAY: PARTICLE SIZE AND pH INFLUENCE

Revista Caatinga, 2008
In environmental studies is important to know the adsorption process of heavy metals in clay minerals, since they are able to immobilize these metals. Knowing the cations adsorption is influenced for several factors, the objective of this research was to

Composite Sand–Clay Infrastructural Soil Fills: Characteristic Consolidation and Hydraulic Properties

Journal of Advanced Research in Natural and Applied Sciences
In the design construction of infrastructural projects comprised of geotechnical applications, including composite soil fill layers, compacted sand-clay soil fills are widely preferred as barrier layers, particularly in solid waste landfills, to minimize

Bacteria‐Responsive Nanostructured Drug Delivery Systems for Targeted Antimicrobial Therapy

Advanced Materials, Volume 38, Issue 51, 11 September 2026.
Bacteria‐responsive nanocarriers are designed to release antimicrobials only in the presence of infection‐specific cues. This selective activation ensures drug release precisely at the site of infection, avoiding premature or indiscriminate release, and enhancing efficacy.

Soybean flour as an alternative plant‐based fertilizer for perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.) and tall fescue [Schedonorus arundinaceus (Schreb.) Dumort] lawns

Crop Science, Volume 66, Issue 5, September/October 2026.
Abstract Demand for organic fertilizers has prompted the exploration of different sources of sustainable, plant‐based alternatives for turfgrass lawns. This study evaluated defatted soybean flour as a potential plant‐based fertilizer option for high‐cut turfgrass systems such as lawns, parks, recreational facilities, and commercial landscapes when ...

Flexural bulges and foredeep basins: Dynamic tectonic control on shifting depocentres and condensed facies, Upper Cretaceous (Santonian), Western Canada Foreland Basin

The Depositional Record, Volume 12, Issue 4, September 2026.
Allostratigraphically defined mudstone packages show marked along‐strike thickness variation, interpreted to be related to shifting thrust activity in the orogen; loading cycles lasted about 750 kyr. Close to the orogen, the forebulge is mantled by shelly sandstone whereas far from the orogen, the forebulge is typified by organic‐rich mudstone ...

Rapid phosphorus removal promotes a sustained decrease in nitrogen in eutrophic lakes

Limnology and Oceanography Letters, Volume 11, Issue 5, September 2026.
Abstract Excess phosphorus (P) leads to lake eutrophication, prompting interventions to reduce P availability. However, we have a limited understanding of how P availability impacts nitrogen (N), which also affects lake water quality. The in‐lake application of alum rapidly decreases P availability, presenting an opportunity to explore how P influences
