Climatic, edaphic, and biotic controls over storage and turnover of carbon in soils [PDF]
, 1994 Soil carbon, a major component of the global carbon inventory, has significant potential for change with changing climate and human land use. We applied the Century ecosystem model to a series of forest and grassland sites distributed globally to examine

Advanced Energy and Sustainability Research, EarlyView.The study finds that mulch films made with poly(butylene adipate‐co‐terephthalate)/poly(lactic acid) and 10% soy waste degrade faster than those without soy. Plants grown with the soy‐containing films are 49% taller, suggesting that the soy acts as a biostimulant.

The role of mangrove fine root production and decomposition on soil organic carbon component ratios
Ecological Indicators, 2021 Mangrove fine roots are an important contributor to soil organic matter (SOC), yet how their production and decomposition affect SOC accumulation across the sea-land gradient is still elusive.

Lignin: Characterization of a Multifaceted Crop Component
TheScientificWorldJournal, 2013 Lignin is a plant component with important implications for various agricultural disciplines. It confers rigidity to cell walls, and is therefore associated with tolerance to abiotic and biotic stresses and the mechanical stability of plants.

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.This review explores invertebrate biohybrid robots that integrate living organisms—such as insects, jellyfish, spiders, and sea slugs—into robotic systems for locomotion, sensing, and actuation. The advantages in efficiency and cost, discuss control, and power challenges are highlighted, and future considerations to guide the development of sustainable,

Role of Cyanobacterial Exopolysaccharides in Phototrophic Biofilms and in Complex Microbial Mats
Life, 2015 Exopolysaccharides (EPSs) are an important class of biopolymers with great ecological importance. In natural environments, they are a common feature of microbial biofilms, where they play key protective and structural roles.
