Soil amendment effects on field‐saturated and unsaturated hydraulic properties of sodic soils
Abstract Soil sodicity degrades soil structure and restricts water movement by promoting clay swelling, dispersion, and surface sealing, thereby reducing infiltration and hydraulic conductivity. This study aims to evaluate the effects of four soil amendments (elemental sulfur, gypsum, compost, and humate) on the hydraulic conductivity of sodic soils ...

Defensin‐DNA Supramolecular Complexes as a New pH‐Sensing Nanomaterial
Crocodylus porosus β‐defensin 13 (CpoBD13), a host defence peptide from the saltwater crocodile, is discovered to interact with single‐ and double‐stranded DNA to form supramolecular assemblies, termed defensin‐induced spherical complexes (DISCs).

Abstract Seed moisture content (SMC) is the most reliable indicator of seed maturity and the optimal harvest timing in grass seed crops. Current SMC testing methodologies used in grass seed crops are slow or inaccurate, making it difficult to make timely harvest decisions.

This Perspective introduces a dual saturation framework showing that soil carbon sequestration is constrained not only by biophysical limits, but also by social–institutional barriers. Policy complexity, documentation burdens, and operational saturation can restrict farmer adoption and create a mitigation gap, highlighting the importance of stable ...
