Plant responses to belowground variations along elevational gradients in temperate and tropical climates [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Soil is a hyper-heterogeneous environment, and how plants respond to changes in belowground variations in soil properties and microclimate is poorly understood.

Soil Characterization Using Physical and Chemical Properties

open access: yesJournal of Physics: Conference Series, 2020
Abstract This paper presents the influences of soil chemical composition on pH. Surface soil samples from bare ground without vegetation were collected from different locations of Pune district of Maharashtra State from the top 8 inch at each sampling sites using a sterile shovel.

Silicified Wood‐Inspired, High‐Strength Fire‐Resistant Chitin‐Based Aerogels for Sustainable High‐Temperature Thermal Insulation

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Inspired by natural silicified wood, a biomimetic mineralized chitin‐derived aerogel is constructed. It can withstand 81 000 times its own weight, and its backside temperature is 130.4°C after exposure to ∼1300°C butane flame for 600 s, exhibiting high‐strength, fire‐resistance, and super thermal‐insulation properties.

Melt Electrowriting High Resolution Poly(ethylene‐co‐vinyl acetate) Scaffolds for Soft Tissue Engineering

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
This work pioneers melt electrowriting (MEW) of polyethylene vinyl acetate (PEVA) to fabricate ultra‐compliant, high‐resolution scaffolds. By integrating microscale precision with soft tissue‐like biomechanics, PEVA overcomes stiffness‐driven limitations of conventional MEW polymers, establishing a mechanically biomimetic platform for soft tissue ...

Ground Water-Bottom Soil-Water Interactions in Tropical Carp Nursery Ponds. [PDF]

open access: yes, 1991
There was no significant combined effect (P > 0.05) of the physico-chemical properties of the underground deep tube well water on increasing the nutrient contents of the nursery ponds' bottom soil.

Mesoporous Silica Nanoparticles in Biomedicine: Advances and Prospects

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
Mesoporous silica nanoparticles offer unique properties like high surface area, tunable pores, and functionalization. They excel in drug delivery, tissue engineering, and stimuli‐responsive therapies, enabling targeted and controlled treatments. With roles in cancer therapy and diagnostics, their clinical translation requires addressing challenges in ...

Effects of variable rate fertiliser application on selected macronutrients leaching from the ploughed layer

open access: yesSoil and Water Research
In this study, the effects of standard fertilisation versus variable fertilisation with mineral and organomineral fertilisers on N, P, K, Ca and Mg leaching from the ploughed layer and yields of winter wheat and spring wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) and ...

Long-term Effects of Tillage on the Retention and Transport of Soil Water [PDF]

open access: yes, 1986
Quantitative measurements were made of the physical and chemical properties of two virgin prairie soils, Crowley and Jay, that remain in their native Arkansas environments and of similar soils that had been tilled extensively.

Behavior and Impact of Zirconium in the Soil–Plant System: Plant Uptake and Phytotoxicity [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Because of the large number of sites they pollute, toxic metals that contaminate terrestrial ecosystems are increasingly of environmental and sanitary concern (Uzu et al. 2010, 2011; Shahid et al. 2011a, b, 2012a).

Elephant‐Skin‐Inspired Porous Cementitious Tiles with Programmable Crack Networks for Passive Cooling

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
Elephant‐skin‐inspired crack networks are programmed in porous diatomaceous earth (DE)‐cement composites using substrate‐guided, stress‐concentration induced fracture. The resulting crack lattices act as capillary conduits that redistribute water, while the porous matrix stores moisture.
