Soil Erosion as an Environmental Concern in Vineyards: The Case Study of Celler del Roure, Eastern Spain, by Means of Rainfall Simulation Experiments

Beverages, 2018
Soil erosion in vineyards is considered as an environmental concern as it depletes soil fertility and causes damage in the fields and downstream. High soil and water losses decrease soil quality, and subsequently, this can reduce the quality of the ...

A High‐Performance and Fully Recyclable Supramolecular Nanofibrous Membrane for Multifunctional Air Filtration

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A green, thermoreversible self‐assembly strategy yields a multifunctional and recyclable supramolecular nanofibrous membrane. Graphene oxide (GO) nanosheet acts as a heterogeneous nucleation‐templating agent, simultaneously modulating the supramolecular crystal packing while tailoring the nanofibrous architecture for elite performance.

MGDP: Mastering a Generalized Depth Perception Model for Quadruped Locomotion

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Perception‐based Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL) controllers demonstrate impressive performance on challenging terrains. However, existing controllers still face core limitations, struggling to achieve both terrain generality and platform transferability, and are constrained by high computational overhead and sensitivity to sensor noise.

Leaf stoichiometric characteristics and responses of sea-buckthorn (Hippophae L.) involved in its niche-driven species distribution patterns across China

Frontiers in Plant Science
IntroductionThe stoichiometric characteristics of leaves can indicate the nutrient limitations and ecological strategies of closely related plants. Sea-buckthorn is a unique species in China with economic and ecological value, yet nutrient limitations ...

Radiation‐Resistant Kr‐Selective MOF With Record Kr/Xe Selectivity at Elevated Pressure

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The separation of Kr/Xe from spent nuclear fuel off‐gas is critical, yet most current adsorbents exhibit Xe‐Kr co‐adsorption under elevated pressures, posing challenges for industrial pressure swing adsorption processes. Herein, we present and evaluate a metal‐organic framework, CALF‐20M‐w, engineered for molecular sieving separation of Kr/Xe ...

Comparative transcriptomic and proteomic analyses of two salt-tolerant alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) genotypes: investigation of the mechanisms underlying tolerance to salt

Frontiers in Plant Science
Abiotic stressors such as salt stress restrict plant development and output, which lowers agricultural profitability. In this study, alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) varieties with different levels of salt tolerance were examined using high-throughput RNA ...

POVERTY, LAND DEGRADATION AND CLIMATIC UNCERTAINTY [PDF]

Oxford Economic Papers, 1997
This paper studies farmers who operate in a risky environment at a minimum level of subsistence. In particular we investigate how poverty influences the soil conservation decision in the absence of formal insurance markets. It is shown that the consequences for the optimal soil conservation decision from poverty differ across the three agricultural ...
