Boron nitride nanosheet coatings with controllable water repellency
, 2011 The growth, structure, and properties of two-dimensional boron nitride (BN) nanostructures synthesized by a thermal chemical vapor deposition method have been systematically investigated. Most of the BN nanosheets (BNNSs) were less than 5 nm in thickness,

InfoMat, EarlyView.Solar/electrical dual‐mode thermal management textiles. Abstract High‐entropy oxides (HEO) offer an emerging platform for broadband photothermal conversion because multicationic disorder can simultaneously regulate crystal distortion, valence chemistry, and electronic transitions.

Sweetpotato Whitefly Control: Enhancement of the Repellency of Oils
, 1993 The repellency to adult SPW of 1% Saf -T -Side and 1% Natur'1 Oil was enhanced by the addition of Butracide + Pounce, Butracide + Pyrellin, or a pyrethrum + diatomaceous earth.

Soil-water repellency characteristic curves for soil profiles with organic carbon gradients
, 2016 Highlights•Water repellency at different soil organic carbon (SOC) contents was measured.•Repellency was restricted to the top 20 cm of the soil profiles.•The sessile drop method is highly sensitive at high SOC contents.•We proposed six repellency ...

Journal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background On ca. 10% of the forested sites in the Bavarian Alps (Germany) mountain, forest soils (so‐called folic histosols) are characterized by thick organic layers overlying poorly weathered calcareous parent material. Aim These organic layers play a critical role in releasing water and nutrients for vegetation, yet they are also sensitive

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.Abstract BACKGROUND Plants harbor complex microbial communities that are fundamental to their health and productivity. Among them, endophytic fungi such as Purpureocillium lilacinum establish mutualistic associations, offering dual benefits as plant growth promoters and biocontrol agents.

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.Abstract BACKGROUND Stored food products are highly vulnerable to infestation by insects and mites, resulting in significant postharvest losses worldwide. Plant‐derived bioactive compounds represent promising eco‐friendly alternatives to synthetic pesticides.

Post‐Fire Soil Organic Carbon Dynamics: Decline and Recovery Over Two Decades
Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Wildfire can significantly alter soil organic carbon (SOC) dynamics in forest ecosystems, with complex temporal patterns following fire events. However, research on post‐fire SOC recovery remains limited, particularly in dry‐warm valley regions that are prone to frequent forest fires.

Water repellency of soils; the influence of ambient relative humidity
, 2002 Adverse effects of soil water repellency (hydrophobicity) are of concern during or following rainfall or irrigation, and are often preceded by conditions of high atmospheric relative humidity (RH).
