Development of soil-water characteristic curve for a residual soil using triaxial and pressure-plate apparatus

, 2005
The soil-water characteristic curve (SWCC) of the soil found at Pussellawa landslide site is developed for a wide range of metric suction values, based on the results obtained from a series of laboratory triaxial tests on unsaturated samples.

The Plant‐to‐Plant Circular Strategy: Coupling Photodegradation and Phytoremediation With Plant‐Based Nanomaterials for Plastic Degradation

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Plant‐based nanomaterials derived from alfalfa serve as dual‐function catalysts, coupling photodegradation and phytoremediation to degrade polyethylene under UV‐A light and in soil. The nanomaterials work synergistically with alfalfa and soil microbes, achieving efficient plastic breakdown without trophic transfer.

Measurement of Soil–Water Characteristic Curve of Vegetative Soil Using Polymer-Based Tensiometer for Maintaining Environmental Sustainability

The interaction between moisture content and soil suction is commonly represented by a soil–water characteristic curve (SWCC). The direct measurement of water content can be easily achieved, but it usually requires a destructive method where the ...

Multi‐Scale Bionic Structure Constructs Biomass Flame‐Retardant Thermal Insulation Foam Material

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Inspired by mussel adhesion and hierarchical brick‐and‐mortar architectures, a cellulose‐based biomimetic foam is constructed by anchoring bentonite nanosheets onto a polydopamine‐decorated cellulose nanofiber network. The resulting foam combines low thermal conductivity with intrinsic flame retardancy and full biodegradability, presenting a ...

Quantitative evaluation of different soil–water characteristic curve models on bare soil evaporation simulation

Geoderma
The bare soil evaporation process is the link between the atmosphere and soil surface in the hydrologic cycle and, therefore, is a key issue in many fields of hydrological sciences. The selection of different soil–water characteristic curve (SWCC) models

Comparison of direct and indirect measured soil-water characteristic curves for a silty sand [PDF]

, 2017
It is time consuming and needs sophisticated testing apparatus to determine unsaturated soil properties such as hydraulic conductivity and shear strength. Therefore, engineers hesitate to use unsaturated soil properties in economical geotechnical problem

The Landscape of Long Non‐Coding RNAs Provides Insights Into the Domestication and Improvement of Pear Fruit

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study reveals that long non‐coding RNAs represent important regulatory components underlying pear domestication and improvement. Integrative multi‐omics analyses identify selected lncRNAs associated with fruit traits, while functional validation uncovers a lignin‐related lncRNA, lncRNA‐pys, that promotes lignin accumulation.

Evaluating dual porosity of pelletized diatomaceous earth using bimodal soil-water characteristic curve functions

, 2001
Soil-water characteristic curve data for specimens containing either ~1 mm or ~2 mm diameter pellets of processed diatomaceous earth are measured using a variety of methods (Tempe cell, pressure plate, filter paper, and chilled-mirror psychrometer). The

Conditionally Significant eQTL and TWAS Analyses Identify MsRD26 as a Major Candidate Positive Regulator of Salt Tolerance in Medicago sativa L

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Salt stress significantly impacts plant growth. Through population transcriptome, eQTL and TWAS analyses, we identified several candidate genes potentially associated with salt stress response. Functional assays suggested that some of these genes may contribute to salt tolerance.
