Integrated Ecological Risk Assessment of the Agricultural Area under a High Anthropopressure Based on Chemical, Ecotoxicological and Ecological Indicators

Agriculture, 2023
Agricultural land is often located close to highly urbanised/industrialised areas and is subject to continuous anthropogenic pressure associated with the emission of many pollutants, ultimately deposited in the soil.

Scourability of Undisturbed Soils of Different Land Use Types in Loess Hilly Region Under Natural Freezing and Thawing Conditions

Shuitu baochi tongbao, 2022
[Objective] The effects of freezing and thawing on soil erosion resistance of three land use types (sloping farmland, grassland, and shrub land) were studied in order to provide a theoretical basis for vegetation restoration and construction in the ...

Advancing Research on Biomaterials and Biological Materials with Scanning Electron Microscopy under Environmental and Low Vacuum Conditions

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Herein, environmental scanning electron microscopy (ESEM) is discussed as a powerful extension of conventional SEM for life sciences. By combining high‐resolution imaging with variable pressure and humidity, ESEM allows the analysis of untreated biological materials, supports in situ monitoring of hydration‐driven changes, and advances the functional ...
