Estimation of Calcium Carbonate in Soils [PDF]

open access: yesThe Journal of Agricultural Science, 1909
Boiling acid at atmospheric pressure decomposes organic matter in soil with evolution of carbon dioxide, and thus renders the results obtained for carbonate too high. Where there is a fairly large percentage of carbonate, the error introduced in this way is of no great importance, but in soils containing less than 1% of calcium carbonate and especially

Melanin's Role in Balancing Mechanical Strength and Reproductive Output in Environmentally Stressed Fungal Spores

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Melanin content directly controls fungal spore mechanical properties, with pigmented spores achieving rupture forces two orders of magnitude higher than hyaline spores. Environmental stress drives this quantity‐quality tradeoff; stressed species invest energy in melanin‐reinforced, mechanically superior thick‐walled, super‐hydrophobic spores, while ...

Quantitative contribution of dissolution-driven precipitation to Pb(II) removal by biochars during adsorption process

open access: yesScientific Reports
Biochar (BC) has been widely used for the lead (Pb(II)) immobilization in soil remediation. However, the mechanisms of dissolution-driven removal of Pb(II) by BC are still poorly understood.

Carbon-centered environmentally persistent free radicals induce stronger toxicity than oxygen-centered ones in earthworms (Eisenia fetida)

open access: yesEnvironmental Chemistry and Ecotoxicology
Environmentally persistent free radicals (EPFRs) have attracted significant research interest regarding their generation and potential toxicities. However, conventional toxicity assessments of EPFRs have primarily relied on apparent concentrations ...

Biodegradable 3D‐Printable and Coatable Antifouling Composites for Marine Applications

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Marine biofouling damages submerged surfaces and raises greenhouse gas emissions. Biodegradable antifouling biocomposites were developed by hot‐mixing beeswax, Tween 80, and calcium stearate or stearic acid. Adjusting the component ratio enables processing via hot‐pressing, 3D‐printing, or dip‐coating.
