Long‐Term Elevated CO2 Improves Soil Health and Rice Yields in Paddy Fields
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Combining the two longest‐running rice free‐air CO2 enrichment experiments with a global data synthesis, this study demonstrates that long‐term elevated CO2 consistently enhances soil health. In rice paddies, this improvement sustains the CO2 fertilization effect over decades.

Mechanical Properties of Soil-cement Composites Made with Cohesive or Non-Cohesive Soil
IOP Conference Series: Materials Science and Engineering, 2019 The paper discusses results of mechanical and technological tests of soil-cement composites made with cohesive or non-cohesive soil. The compositions of the soil-cement mixtures analysed differed in terms of their cement paste volume fractions and water-cement ratios.

MGM as a Large‐Scale Pretrained Foundation Model for Microbiome Analyses in Diverse Contexts
Advanced Science, EarlyView.We present the Microbial General Model (MGM), a transformer‐based foundation model pretrained on over 260,000 microbiome samples. MGM learns contextualized microbial representations via self‐supervised language modeling, enabling robust transfer learning, cross‐regional generalization, keystone taxa discovery, and prompt‐guided generation of realistic,

Laboratory study on the effects of hydraulic and granulometric parameters on the response of granular soil to internal erosion [PDF]
, 2019 Erosion is a major environmental problem to agricultural land as well as to civil engineering infrastructures. Rainwater infiltration into granular soils can lead to the migration of fine particles by suffusion.

Studies on soil cohesion (Part 1) theory of cohesion in ideal soil [PDF]
Soil Science and Plant Nutrition, 1956 Abstract 1. Historical. Theory of an ideal soil due to capillary films was first studied by W. B. Haines (1925),1) and this was corrected and developed by R. A. Fisher (1926). 2)

Pile Aging in Cohesive Soils [PDF]
Journal of Geotechnical and Geoenvironmental Engineering, 2013 AbstractThis paper presents the results of a field investigation into pile aging in soft clay that was conducted over a period of 10 years. Static load tests were conducted after the excess pore pressure generated by the installation of 6-m-long, driven concrete piles were fully equalized.
