Effects of simulated acid rain on leaf wettability, rain retention and uptake of some inorganic ions

New Phytologist, 1988
summaryLeaves of Phaseolus vulgaris L., Vicia faba L., Pisum sativum L. and Brassica napus L. were exposed from emergence to full expansion to seven treatments of simulated acid rain at pH values between 5.6 and 2.6. Droplet leaf contact angles in all species decreased on leaves exposed to simulated acid rain at pH <4.6 relative to those exposed at ...

Quenching Photo‐Induced Free Radicals Endows Superomniphobic Atmospheric Water Harvesting Hydrogels With UV Resistance for Durable Bifacial Photovoltaic Cooling

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A hygroscopic hydrogel layer functionalized with fullerene C60 tackles heat and dust challenges in bifacial photovoltaics (PV) panels. It resists soiling and photo‐aging, maintains high transparency, absorbs water vapor from the air during the night, and delivers strong evaporative cooling power during daytime, significantly lowering PV panel ...

Effects of simulated acid rain on the growth of agricultural crops

Journal of Agricultural Meteorology, 1993
Three species of crops, radish, spinach and bush bean, were exposed to simulated acid rain at pH 5.6 (control) to 2.5 throughout their growing periods. Plants were subjected to acid rain treatment three times a week, for one hour with 10mm of precipitation at a time. All the plants exposed to simulated acid rain falls at pH3.0 or below produced visible

Multiscale electrochemical analysis of the corrosion control of bronze in simulated acid rain by horse-chestnut (Aesculus hippocastanum L.) extract as green inhibitor

Corrosion Science, 2020
Horse-chestnut ethanolic extract was tested as potential corrosion inhibitor of bronze in simulated acid rain. The extract was analysed by FTIR, GC–MS and HPLC-PDA, and its anti-corrosion behaviour studied using a multiscale electrochemical approach by ...

Flooding‐Driven Greenhouse Gas Emissions From Global Upland Croplands

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Temporary flooding of upland croplands releases nitrous oxide, carbon dioxide, and methane. Field measurements combined with a global literature synthesis yield a global estimate of 63.3 teragrams of carbon dioxide equivalent per year for diffusive emissions from flooded upland croplands.

Effect of simulated acid rain on fluorine mobility and the bacterial community of phosphogypsum

, 2018
Contamination of soil and water with fluorine (F) leached from phosphogypsum (PG) stacks is a global environmental issue. Millions of tons of PG is produced each year as a by-product of fertilizer manufacture, and in China, weathering is exacerbated by ...

A Vacuum‐Suction and Rotate End Effector for Robotic Apple Fruitlet Thinning: Comparative Development, Integrated Field Evaluation, and Preliminary Harvesting

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Robotic apple thinning is constrained by a single field season confined to a few weeks each year. An efficient design process screens four detachment concepts off‐season using an artificial fruitlet structure, with field trials identifying vacuum suction and rotation as the most effective approach.

Advancing Environmental Sustainability: The Role of Artificial Intelligence in Monitoring, Predicting, and Controlling Sulfur Dioxide Emissions

Asia-Pacific Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Air pollution from sulfur dioxide (SO2) emissions poses significant threats to environmental sustainability, public health, and climate change efforts. Despite advances in monitoring and regulatory frameworks, traditional methods often fall short in accuracy, scalability, and efficiency.

The Effects of Simulated Acid Rain on the Growth and Yield of Soybean.

Journal of Agricultural Meteorology, 1991
This report described changes in the growth processes and yield of soybean plants exposed to simulated acid rain at pH 5.6, 4.0, 3.0 and 2.0 containing sulfate, nitrate and chloride by using analysis of growth parameters and seed yield components.The analysis of growth parameters showed that LAR (leaf area ratio) and SLA (specific leaf area) for ...
