Advanced Intelligent Systems, Volume 8, Issue 3, March 2026.Female desert locusts dig underground to lay their eggs. They displace soil, rather than removing it, to create a tunnel. We analyze burrowing dynamics and 3D kinematics and design a locust‐inspired hybrid soft–stiff robot that reproduces this mechanism. The results show the natural strategy minimizes energy, whereas alternative patterns raise costs up

A Wave Tank Study on Turbulent Transport of a Passive Tracer Above Gravelly Sand Beds
Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, Volume 131, Issue 3, March 2026.Abstract Exchange processes at the seabed interface have a non‐negligible impact on biogeochemical processes of the sea. Acknowledging this impact on the input of nutrients from the seabed into the water column further entails properly assessing the transport and mixing of these nutrients within the water column.

Greening the sky: Incorporating recycled inorganic materials in rooftop growing media
Urban Agriculture &Regional Food Systems, Volume 11, Issue 1, 2026.Abstract Rooftop agriculture is gaining popularity worldwide, although technical challenges, such as restriction on materials used in growing media, can negatively affect plant growth and yields. Incorporating inorganic recycled materials into rooftop growing media offers a promising approach to improving productivity while reducing the environmental ...

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 7, Issue 6, Page 1684-1699, November 2025.The UK's horticultural industry is shifting from reliance on unsustainable peat‐based growing media to products that contain alternative constituents, including coir, bark, wood fibre and composted green waste. Some peat‐alternatives carry an elevated risk of harbouring plant pathogens, including the potential to introduce novel pathogens from overseas,

How Shells of Different Shapes Affect Current‐Driven Sand Transport
Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, Volume 130, Issue 11, November 2025.Abstract The seabed rarely consists solely of bare sand: often other materials, such as shells are present. They can influence sand transport by armoring the bed and modifying its roughness. Biogenic shells come in different shapes and sizes, depending on the mollusc species that produce them.

Environmental assessment of potential industrial waste management in the Czech Republic
Journal of Industrial Ecology, Volume 29, Issue 4, Page 1185-1196, August 2025.Abstract In contrast to municipal waste, the much larger quantities of industrial waste are less frequently addressed, both in legislation and in life cycle assessment (LCA). However, LCA studies can identify opportunities to reduce national environmental impacts by improving the management of industrial waste, and they can inform legislation that ...

River Research and Applications, Volume 41, Issue 6, Page 1270-1281, July 2025.ABSTRACT The presence of excess fine‐grained matrix sediment in channel beds can exert an oxygen demand in this critical habitat for fish spawning and invertebrates. Therefore, reducing the oxygen demand of channel bed sediment through targeted intervention may deliver better cost–benefit from catchment management.
