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 ...

The distribution and diversity of actinomycetes in soil fractions [PDF]
The results presented were concerned with the survival of Streptomyces coelicolor A3(2) (pll673) inoculated into soil microcosms, which were destructively fractionated so that the total propagules and spore counts could be determined in each of the ...

Structural differences between bulk and rhizosphere soil
, 2005 The physical characteristics of the soil at the root–soil interface are crucial because they determine both physical aspects of root function such as water and nutrient uptake and the microbial activity that is most relevant to root growth.

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

Interactions of recPrP with organic matter of soil aggregates
, 2006 Low-Temperature Ashing (LTA) by oxygen plasma has been used for removing organic matter (OM) from the mineral matrix of soil aggregates with minimal disturbance and damage to the inorganic constituents. This technique allows a controlled oxidation at low

Nature of Water Stability of Aggregates from the Humus Horizon of Dark Gray Forest Soil [PDF]
, 1999 We generalized data on the composition and kinetic properties of the water-stable aggregates from the upper and bottom parts of the humus horizons of dark gray forest soil. On the basis of this generalization, two contrast variants of spatial arrangement
