How Soil Organic Matter Composition Controls Hexachlorobenzene-Soil-Interactions: Adsorption Isotherms and Quantum Chemical Modelling [PDF]

open access: yesScience of the Total Environment 476-477, 98 (2014), 2013
Hazardous persistent organic pollutants (POPs) interact in soil with the soil organic matter (SOM) but this interaction is insufficiently understood at the molecular level. We investigated the adsorption of hexachlorobenzene (HCB) on soil samples with systematically modified SOM.

High Thermoelectric Performance in Low‐Cost Cu8SiSxSe6‐x Argyrodite

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This study discovers the great potential of Cu8SiSxSe6‐x argyrodites as new, low‐cost, Te‐free thermoelectric materials. The proposed defect scheme suppresses the phase transition, enhances the weighted mobility and optimizes the grain boundary contacts.

Native Lignin Migration and Clustering in Wood: Superhydrophobic, Antimold, and Tribonegative Layers for Rain‐Driven Electrification

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This study proposes a sustainable solution for rainwater‐driven energy harvesting by harnessing the intrinsic properties of lignin in wood. The first demonstration of an all‐wood tribonegative material for liquid–solid triboelectric nanogenerators is presented, eliminating the need for fluorine‐containing polymers and functional additives. Abstract The

Proximate controls on semiarid soil greenhouse gas fluxes across 3 million years of soil development [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Soils are important sources and sinks of three greenhouse gases (GHGs): carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), and nitrous oxide (N2O). However, it is unknown whether semiarid landscapes are important contributors to global fluxes of these gases, partly ...

Stem-root flow effect on soil–atmosphere interactions and uncertainty assessments [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
. Soil water can rapidly enter deeper layers via vertical redistribution of soil water through the stem–root flow mechanism. This study develops the stem–root flow parameterization scheme and coupled this scheme with the Simplified Simple Biosphere model

Using monthly rainfall data to estimate rainfall erosivity factor of Iraq

open access: yesPrzegląd Naukowy Inżynieria i Kształtowanie Środowiska, 2019
The erosivity factor have a major effect on soil therefor a lot off researchers are interested about it. Actually, the erosivity depend on rainfall that could be a main source to water which effect on soil.

Ambient‐Dried MOF/Cellulose‐Based Aerogels for Atmospheric Water Harvesting and Sustainable Water Management in Agriculture

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Ambient‐dried composite aerogels integrating MOF‐303, TEMPO‐oxidized cellulose nanofibers (TOCNF), and hygroscopic salts enable high‐performance atmospheric water harvesting (AWH), achieving competitive uptake at both low and high humidity. Enhanced with a solar‐evaporation layer, these scalable aerogels support self‐sustained plant growth in a ...

Soil respiration signals in response to sustainable soil management practices enhance soil organic carbon stocks [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv
Development of a spatial-temporal and data-driven model of soil respiration at the global scale based on soil temperature, yearly soil moisture, and soil organic carbon (C) estimates. Prediction of soil respiration on an annual basis (1991-2018) with relatively high accuracy (NSE 0.69, CCC 0.82).
