Multi‐synergistic strategy for dual‐sensing conductive hydrogels capable of simultaneous strain and temperature monitoring

open access: yesFlexMat, EarlyView.
In this study, a multicomponent synergistic strategy is utilized, which capitalizes on the “intersection” of multiple functional influencing factors to achieve the successful development of a multifunctional hydrogel. Through the construction of a unique three‐dimensional dynamic cross‐linked network, the material combines mechanical strength ...

Climate change effects on biomass and greenhouse gas emissions are ameliorated by nontoxic endophytes in southeastern USA transition zone tall fescue pastures

open access: yesGrassland Research, EarlyView.
Tall fescue produces more biomass and less carbon dioxide from the soil when it contains its beneficial fungal endophyte. Increased temperatures projected with climate change reduce fescue biomass, while altered rainfall frequency does not. Altering rainfall frequency and increasing temperatures can reduce carbon dioxide emissions from soil.

Exploring variations in potential carbon and nitrogen mineralization in managed grasslands among the diversity of soils in North Carolina

open access: yesGrassland Research, EarlyView.
Under steady–state conditions, potential nitrogen mineralization in soil under grasslands is closely tied to potential carbon mineralization. This study provides supporting evidence that field–specific nitrogen fertilizer recommendations could be indicated by using a simple and rapid analysis of soil–test biological activity.

The relationship between cellular protein content and selenium accumulation in freshwater microalgae

open access: yesIntegrated Environmental Assessment and Management, EarlyView.
Abstract Variability in the bioconcentration of selenium (Se) by primary producers at the base of the food web results in uncertainty in predictions of bioaccumulation and ecological risk to higher trophic level organisms. Water chemistry, speciation of Se, and periphyton community composition have all been suggested as factors that contribute to ...

Inline Oxygenation in Drip‐Irrigated Citrus: How Much Agrochemical Reduction Is Needed to Achieve Net Environmental Benefits?

open access: yesIrrigation and Drainage, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The agronomic benefits of oxygen‐enriched irrigation, such as improved root development, enhanced nutrient uptake, and reduced fertiliser and pesticide requirements, are well documented. However, incorporating oxygenation devices into fertigation systems increases energy demand and material use, thereby incurring additional environmental ...

A Novel Air‐Liquid Interface Exposure System for Continuous Gas Exposure of Airway Epithelial Cells: Exposure of NO2 With Viral Co‐Challenge

open access: yesJournal of Applied Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Most in vitro toxicological research investigating the effects of inhaled compounds employ short‐term exposures of a couple of hours, or repeated, intermittent exposures for a limited number of days with exposure free periods, whereas in reality, we are continuously exposed, albeit to variable concentrations.
