Carbon sequestration potential of reclaimed desert soils in Egypt [PDF]

, 2009
The objective of this study was to investigate the carbon storage potential of reclaimed soils under organic management. Agricultural soils are often mentioned as a potential carbon sink. However, until now the UNFCCC (United Nations Framework Convention

Mycorrhizas and biomass crops: opportunities for future sustainable development [PDF]

, 2009
Central to soil health and plant productivity in natural ecosystems are in situ soil microbial communities, of which mycorrhizal fungi are an integral component, regulating nutrient transfer between plants and the surrounding soil via extensive mycelial ...

Elephant‐Skin‐Inspired Porous Cementitious Tiles with Programmable Crack Networks for Passive Cooling

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.

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

Environmental 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 ...

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.

The Automated Root Exudate System (ARES): a method to apply solutes at regular intervals to soils in the field. [PDF]

, 2017
Root exudation is a key component of nutrient and carbon dynamics in terrestrial ecosystems. Exudation rates vary widely by plant species and environmental conditions, but our understanding of how root exudates affect soil functioning is incomplete, in ...

Soil organic carbon

Revista de la Facultad de Agronomía, 2020
Soil organic carbon (SOC) is an important factor for soil quality diagnosis. Physical and chemical fractionation of SOC are useful to characterize SOC, because some fractions are more sensitive indicators of the effects of different management practices.
