Soil sodicity originating from marginal groundwater

Vadose Zone Journal, 2020
Soil salinity and sodicity are among the oldest soil and groundwater pollution problems and are widespread across the globe. Where salinity affects crop water uptake and yield, sodicity may additionally cause poorly reversible soil structure degradation ...

Land Use: Catchment Management [PDF]

, 2014
Freshwater is a scarce and valuable resource (FAO, 2011). Conservation and equitable distribution of freshwater is therefore critical to sustaining ecosystem services and global food production (Rockstrom et al., 2009). Agriculture uses 70% of global freshwater and so optimizing water use through advanced irrigation, farm, and food processing systems ...

High‐Performance Rechargeable Lithium‐Chlorine Batteries with ALD Conformal Starburst Porous Graphene Positive Electrodes

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
An Al2O3‐skinned starburst porous graphene with conformal metasurfaces is crafted from a hierarchical porous graphene with high surface pore curvature by PTFE microemulsion skin effect, leveraging subsequent atomic layer deposition of Al2O3 groups. The scalable heterostructured cathode features superhydrophilicity, effective adsorption, fast kinetics ...

In Situ Light‐Modulation of Capacity and Impedance in Lithium‐Ion Batteries

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study introduces a dynamic light‐controlled modulation (DLCM) anode for LIBs using CdS alignments and light‐sensitive graphene, effective across UV to visible light. The developed DLCM anode exhibits a remarkable maximum capacity of 430 mAh g−1 when subjected to UV light illumination, surpassing the capacity observed in the absence of illumination,

Models meet data: Challenges and opportunities in implementing land management in Earth system models

Global Change Biology, 2017
As the applications of Earth system models (ESMs) move from general climate projections toward questions of mitigation and adaptation, the inclusion of land management practices in these models becomes crucial.

Stacking Interventions Enhances Carbon Removals and Profitability of Livestock Production Systems

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The study indicates that stacking multiple interventions aimed at maximising soil organic carbon (SOC) sequestration and enteric methane (CH4) reductions realizes greater abatement and profit do any singular intervention, especially when SOC sequestration accounts for a significant proportion of greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) mitigation. Abstract While
