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.

Microbial carbon recycling: an underestimated process controlling soil carbon dynamics – Part 2: A C₃-C₄ vegetation change field labelling experiment [PDF]

Biogeosciences, 2015
The mean residence times (MRT) of different compound classes of soil organic matter (SOM) do not match their inherent recalcitrance to decomposition. One reason for this is the stabilization within the soil matrix, but recycling, i.e.

Microbial metabolic response to winter warming stabilizes soil carbon

Global Change Biology, 2021
AbstractCurrent consensus on global climate change predicts warming trends with more pronounced temperature changes in winter than summer in the Northern Hemisphere at high latitudes. Moderate increases in soil temperature are generally related to faster rates of soil organic carbon (SOC) decomposition in Northern ecosystems, but there is evidence that

Plant–Soil Microbe Interactions’ Effects on CO₂ Emissions, Soil Organic Carbon and Nutrients Under Different Tillage Systems

Agriculture
Soil microbes are central to carbon and nutrient cycling; however, the influence of tillage practices on plant–soil microbe interactions, particularly their contribution to carbon stabilization under increasing atmospheric CO2, remains insufficiently ...

Stability of biomass-derived black carbon in soils

Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta, 2008
Black carbon (BC) may play an important role in the global C budget, due to its potential to act as a significant sink of atmospheric CO2. In order to fully evaluate the influence of BC on the global C cycle, an understanding of the stability of BC is required.

Optimizing Carbon Sequestration Through Cover Cropping in Mediterranean Agroecosystems: Synthesis of Mechanisms and Implications for Management

Frontiers in Agronomy, 2022
Hot and dry Mediterranean ecoregions are characterized by low soil organic carbon content and large potential to become carbon sink when appropriately managed. Soil carbon sequestration may also play an important role in improving the resilience of these

Sustainable and Multifunctional Natural Macromolecular Polymers for Aqueous Zn Metal Batteries

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
We comprehensively review the structure‐function relationships and regulatory mechanism of natural macromolecular polymers in stabilizing zinc anodes at the microscopic and mesoscopic scales. The interactions among polymer structures, optimization strategies, and regulatory mechanisms are discussed systematically summarizing recent related research ...
