INDICATORS OF SOIL AGGREGATION AND THEIR CHANGES IN CONSERVATION TILLAGE FOR ONION
Acta Scientiarum Polonorum: Hortorum Cultus, 2010 Soil structure depends on several factors, among which are farming system and soil tillage. The state of aggregation determines the water-air relations in soil and influences the thermal conductivity, porosity and density of soil, availability of ...

From Lab to Landscape: Environmental Biohybrid Robotics for Ecological Futures
Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.This Perspective explores environmental biohybrid robotics, integrating living tissues, microorganisms, and insects for operation in real‐world ecosystems. It traces the leap from laboratory experiments to forests, wetlands, and urban environments and discusses key challenges, development pathways, and opportunities for ecological monitoring and ...

Monte Carlo and spatial sampling effects in regional uncertainty propagation analyses [PDF]
, 2009 Spatial uncertainty propagation analysis (UPA) aims at analysing how uncertainties in model inputs propagate through spatial models. Monte Carlo methods are often used, which estimate the output uncertainty by repeatedly running the model with inputs ...

Advanced Science, EarlyView.The authors employed widely targeted metabolomics, microbial amplicon sequencing, and fermentation assays to investigate the microbiome 's influence on PCRC 's (pericarp of Citrus reticulata ' Chachi ') flavonoid profile over 0–19 years of storage. Based on the correlation analysis, solid‐state and liquid‐state fermentation, and catalytic activity ...

Long‐Term Elevated CO2 Improves Soil Health and Rice Yields in Paddy Fields
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Combining the two longest‐running rice free‐air CO2 enrichment experiments with a global data synthesis, this study demonstrates that long‐term elevated CO2 consistently enhances soil health. In rice paddies, this improvement sustains the CO2 fertilization effect over decades.

Pathogen avoidance by insect predators [PDF]
, 2008 Insects can detect cues related to the risk of attack by their natural enemies. Pathogens are among the natural enemies of insects and entomopathogenic fungi attack a wide array of host species.

Structural and Functional Characterization of EXPO‐Derived Extracellular Vesicles in Plants
Advanced Science, EarlyView.In this study, 3D electron tomography (ET), cryo‐ET, and immunogold transmission electron microscopy (TEM) are employed to characterize plant extracellular vesicles (EVs) under physiological conditions. EVs are classified into three distinct categories according to their size, content, and molecular‐marker profiles. Furthermore, Exo70E2‐positive medium
