Closed‐Loop Radiative Cooling Mulch Upcycled From Agricultural Residues for Efficient Soil Heat–Water Stress Mitigation

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Conventional passive radiative cooling films rely on costly feedstocks and energy‐intensive fabrication, with poor end‐of‐life compatibility in agriculture. To address this challenge, a sustainable radiative cooling mulch (SRCM) is developed from waste maize leaves via spontaneous hydrogen‐bond self‐assembly.

Responses of CO2 emissions and soil microbial community structures to organic amendment in two contrasting soils in Zambia

Scientific Reports, 2022
In sub-Saharan Africa, efforts have been made to increase soil carbon (C) content in agricultural ecosystems due to severe soil degradation. The use of organic materials is a feasible method for recovering soil organic C; however, the effects of organic ...

High Tree Species Diversity Promotes Thermal Enhancement Response of Microbial Carbon Use Efficiency

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Predicting soil carbon dynamics under warming is constrained by limited understanding of microbial thermal adaptation, particularly whether microbial carbon use efficiency (CUE) can adapt to warming and how plant diversity modulates this response. Using soils from a natural tree species diversity gradient in a subtropical forest, we combined a

Biochar co-applied with organic amendments increased soil-plant potassium and root biomass but not crop yield

, 2021
Purpose: Biochar can improve soil nutrient retention and alleviate salinity; however, use is not widespread due to cost. Biochar is usually co-applied with a full-rate of supplementary fertiliser before planting. This study investigated co-application of

EpCAM+ Extracellular Vesicle PD‐L1 Dynamics as a Predictive Biomarker of Immune Checkpoint Blockade Response

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A highly sensitive SERS‐based platform measures PD‐L1 expression on EpCAM+ circulating EVs from cancer patients undergoing immunotherapy. Monitoring dynamic changes after treatment reveals that reduced EpCAM+ EV PD‐L1 levels associate with improved long‐term clinical outcomes, establishing a non‐invasive approach for tracking immune checkpoint ...
