Relationships between soil properties, functional leaf traits, fruits and oil quality in different cultivars of Olea europaea L.

open access: yes, 2014
Extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) is a typical product of the Mediterranean region. The composition of EVOO may be influenced by different factors: cultivar (cv), climatic and edaphic conditions, time of harvesting, stage of maturity and integrity of the ...

A Worm‐Inspired Origami Robot with Multimodal Locomotion for Adaptive Mobility in Complex Pipeline Environments

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
An origami worm‐inspired robot achieves multimodal locomotion in confined pipelines through mechatronic integration that embeds actuation, control, and communication within each origami module. Large, reversible configuration and dimensional changes enable 25 gaits synthesized by a unified framework across peristaltic, inchworm, and wheel‐rolling modes

Ecotoxicological impacts of cadmium on soil microorganisms and earthworms Eisenia foetida: from gene regulation to physiological processes

open access: yesFrontiers in Environmental Science
Cadmium is a hazardous heavy metal that is commonly found in the soil and poses significant risks to soil organisms. The toxic effects of Cd on soil microorganisms and earthworms (Eisenia foetida) have been extensively studied, but most studies focused ...

Soil bulk density and porosity connecting macro- and micro-scales through geometry [PDF]

open access: yes
Soil bulk density (BD) is a macroscopic indicator frequently used to infer the soils' pore system, a fundamental attribute of terrestrial environments that significantly affects processes such as infiltration, water retention and plant root development ...

Bionic Solar‐Powered Heavy Metal Trap for Eco‐Friendly Sludge Drying and Simultaneous Electricity Generation

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Herein, we propose a solar‐powered heavy metal trap (SPHT) for sludge disposal. The indoor experiments demonstrated that the sludge water content decreased from 90 % to 31 %, coupled with a decrease in heavy metal content to 6 % at most. Furthermore, the designed SPHT generated an initial potential of 0.10 V, and monitoring this hydrovoltaic potential ...

How Grazing, Enclosure, and Mowing Intensities Shape Vegetation–Soil–Microbe Dynamics of Qinghai–Tibet Plateau Grasslands: Insights for Spatially Differentiated Integrated Management

open access: yesLand
Grasslands provide essential forage, fuel, and ecosystem services, underpinning regional livestock husbandry and ecological integrity. However, improper utilization drives structural degradation and functional decline of the vegetation–soil–microbe ...

Transposase‐Assisted Donor Tethering Boosts Large‐Fragment HDR in Plants

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
A transposase‐assisted donor tethering strategy is developed to enhance homology‐directed repair in plants. By recruiting donor DNA to double‐strand breaks and synergizing with repair pathway reprogramming and transcription‐coupled donor design, this system markedly improves large‐fragment targeted insertion efficiency, providing a robust platform for ...

Effect of Polyvinyl Alcohol (PVA)/chitosan (CS) Weight Ratio on Morphology, Mechanical Properties, Antibacterial and Biodegradability of the Composite film for Food Packaging Applications [PDF]

open access: yesIranian Journal of Materials Science and Engineering
Despite being an effective material for food packaging, chitosan (CS) exhibited poor ductility when processed into film, which restricted its use in this industry.

Adaptive vegetation change as a pathway to sustain wetland nitrogen cycling

open access: yesEcological Processes
Background Wetlands provide a wide range of ecosystem services. However, climate change and its associated drought events are a direct threat to their integrity, notably to their fauna and flora and especially water supply dependent species.
