ABSTRACT Sustaining food production in arid regions increasingly depends on irrigated oasis agriculture, yet high productivity in these systems does not guarantee durable soil organic carbon (SOC) retention. This integrative narrative review asks why this yield–carbon decoupling occurs in irrigated oasis croplands and how it can be addressed through ...

Structure and thermal stability of organo-vermiculite
In this study, organo-vermiculites (HEVrm) were prepared by modifying expanded vermiculite (EVrm) with different amounts of surfactant (hexadecyltrimethyl ammonium bromide, HDTMAB).

Abstract Soils of managed boreal forests are a significant carbon (C) reservoir, and maintaining or increasing their ability to store C could play an important role for climate change mitigation. We investigated the effects of forest logging through clearcut and partial cut compared to forest conservation on total soil C stocks, particulate organic ...

ABSTRACT The effects of long‐term wild ungulate exclusion on soil organic carbon (SOC) storage and soil organic matter (SOM) properties in forest ecosystems remain uncertain. Past research has been limited by short exclosure duration, shallow sampling depth, and confounding factors.

Performance Optimization and Prospects of Double Network Hydrogels for Flexible Electronic Devices
This review provides a comprehensive overview of DN hydrogels, focusing on their classification, key properties, and diverse applications. Based on crosslinking mechanisms, DN hydrogels are categorized into chemically crosslinked, physically crosslinked, and hybrid crosslinked systems, each offering distinct advantages in stability, reversibility, and ...

Observations on the effect of a soil polysaccharide fraction on boron adsorption by clay minerals
Complexes formed by coating a soil polysaccharide fraction on illite, montmorillonite and kaolinite, substantially reduced boron adsorption by the clay minerals at approximately neutral pH.

Microstructure of organo-bentonites in water and the effect of steric hindrance on the uptake of organic compounds [PDF]
To further elucidate adsorption-to-partition transitional mechanisms which have been proposed previously for organo-bentonites with different surfactant loadings, the structural characteristics of interlayer surfactant aggregates on organo-bentonite with

Enhanced Mechanical Properties of Organo-Clay Based UHMWPE Nanocomposite Films [PDF]
The proposed study investigated the effect of organo-clay contents in ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) gel/solution cast films. The organo-clay was loaded in the range of 1 to 5 % (wt.
