Biochar addition enhances soil aggregate stability by modulating soil internal forces: the critical role of readily oxidized organic carbon and particulate organic carbon [PDF]

SOIL
Degradation of soil structure and function is a significant obstacle to sustainable agriculture, yet using biochar is known to be an effective way of increasing soil organic carbon and boosting structure. Aggregate stability is greatly influenced by soil

Effect of soil aggregate size and dicyandiamide on N₂O emissions and ammonia oxidizer abundance in a grazed pasture soil

, 2014
Nitrous oxide (N₂O) is a potent greenhouse gas, which is mainly produced from agricultural soils. Ammonia oxidation is the rate-determining step in N₂O production, and the process is carried out by ammonia oxidizers, bacteria and archaea.

A Thermoreversible Gelation Pathway to Plant Cuticle‐Inspired Biopolymer Aerogel Monoliths Based on Network‐Spherulitic Crystal Assemblies

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
To address functionality limitations in plant‐based and industrially compostable polymer aerogels, this work introduces bio‐inspired aerogels with broadened functionality. Inspired by functional plant tissues, lightweight biopolymer aerogels based on exclusively stereocomplex crystals are fabricated, featuring hierarchically macro‐/meso‐porous ...

Quantifying the contribution of the root system of alpine vegetation in the soil aggregate stability of moraine

International Soil and Water Conservation Research, 2017
One fifth of the world's population is living in mountains or in their surrounding areas. This anthropogenic pressure continues to grow with the increasing number of settlements, especially in areas connected to touristic activities, such as the Italian ...

Soil aggregate breakdown in a field experiment with different rainfall intensities and initial soil water contents

, 2017
The breakdown of soil aggregates under the impact of rainfall is an important process in water erosion of agricultural soil. It determines the size characteristics of the disintegrated fragments and thus their availability for size-selective sediment ...

Triaxial testing to determine the effect of soil type and organic carbon content on soil consolidation and shear deformation characteristics [PDF]

, 2014
The purpose of this paper is to determine the effect of soil type and organic matter on the deformation characteristics of soil. We used triaxial testing to measure both the consolidation and shear deformation of soil.

Strong Fully Reprocessable Engineered Wood Composites

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Engineering a hyperbranched adhesive with complementary imine‐bond and hydrogen‐bond networks, combining it with wood particles to fabricate the wood composite (WP/HTP) under mild hot‐pressing conditions. The WP/HTP exhibits 100% mechanical strength recovery after three cycles of reprocessing, and the reprocessed modulus of rupture (MOR) and modulus of
