Mulching and soil tillage influence on the thermal behaviour of a Luvisol surface layer [PDF]
, 2009 Important energy exchanges at soil surface regulate the thermal environment within top soil layer and the boundary layer above it. By this reason, the application of mulches or the modelling of micro relief by soil tillage are common practises to modify ...

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.Elephant‐skin‐inspired crack networks are programmed in porous diatomaceous earth (DE)‐cement composites using substrate‐guided, stress‐concentration induced fracture. The resulting crack lattices act as capillary conduits that redistribute water, while the porous matrix stores moisture.

Leaftronics: Bio‐Fractal Scaffolds From Leaf Venation for Low‐Waste Electronics
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.“Leaftronics” transforms naturally evolved leaf venation into quasi‐fractal scaffolds for sustainable electronics. Polymer‐infiltrated leaf skeletons can be used to fabricate ultra‐smooth, reflow‐ and thin‐film‐compatible decomposable substrates, while making the same lignocellulose networks conducting results in flexible transparent electrodes.

Green manuring for tropical organic cropping – A comparative analysis [PDF]
, 2008 Green manuring is an essential component of tropical organic farming. Field studies evaluated the use of three legumes as in situ or ex situ green manures, along with a nonlegume green manure and a control to ascertain their impacts on soil properties ...

Calcium and boron supplementary effect on cassava performance in a sandy Typic Paleustult
Acta Agriculturae Scandinavica. Section B, Soil and Plant ScienceCalcium (Ca) and boron (B) interactions are crucial for nutrition and crop performance, but information is scarce for cassava. Cassava’s yield response to Ca and B was investigated in an acidic sandy soil, using a split-plot design.

Photocatalytic Water Splitting on the Lunar Surface: Prospects for In Situ Resource Utilization
Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.Water has been found in craters on the moon nearby locations which are illuminated >80% of the time. Photocatalysis uses energy from sunlight to drive chemical reactions such as water splitting to produce oxygen and hydrogen. It is a scalable technology that requires lighter equipment and utilizes resources available on the moon. ABSTRACT The discovery
