Does the acid hydrolysis-incubation method measure meaningful soil organic carbon pools? [PDF]

, 2006
The literature was reviewed and analyzed to determine the feasibility of using a combination of acid hydrolysis and CO2-C release during long-term incubation to determine soil organic carbon (SOC) pool sizes and mean residence times (MRTs).

Bioinspired Mechanically Robust Organic–Inorganic Hybridized Bio‐Adhesives With up to 50% Inorganic Components by Bi‐Continuous Phase Engineering

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A robust plant protein adhesive was prepared by fabricating a bi‐continuous organic–inorganic hybrid structure. Compared with traditional organic–inorganic hybrid adhesives, the addition amount of inorganic phase is increased from 0.2%–3.0% to 50%, and the strength and toughness are increased by 6 and 121 times, respectively.

Simulating the evolution of soil solutions in irrigated rice soils in the Sahel [PDF]

Geoderma, 2009
In Sahelian countries, agriculture often relies on irrigation especially for rice cropping which has been introduced these last decades. As most of the water resources used for irrigation (mainly rivers and lakes) have an alkaline composition, rice cropping is often held as responsible for soil alkalinization.

Soil depth and grassland origin cooperatively shape microbial community co‐occurrence and function

Ecosphere, 2020
Many soils are deep, yet soil below 20 cm remains largely unexplored. Exotic plants can have shallower roots than native species, so their impact on microorganisms is anticipated to change with depth.

Five-Year Soil Respiration Reflected Soil Quality Evolution in Different Forest and Grassland Vegetation Types in the Eastern Loess Plateau of China

, 2013
Soil CO2 efflux in forest and grassland over 5 years from 2005 to 2009 in a semiarid mountain area of the Loess plateau, China, was measured. The aim was to compare the soil respiration and its annual and inter-annual responses to the changes in soil ...

Evolution of the transport properties of soil aggregates and their relationship with soil organic carbon following land use changes

, 2022
Aggregates are functional units to describe the impact of soil structural changes on physical and biogeochemical processes in soil. Both incubation and field experiments have shown that changing agricultural practices could reshape the intra-aggregate ...

BIODESTROYERS AS DRIVERS OF EVOLUTION OF SOIL ECOSYSTEMS

Матеріали міжнародної науково-практиченої конференції "Екологія Людина Суспільство"
In conditions of intensive farming, post-harvest plant residues, in particular straw, become a significant logistical and environmental challenge. A promising alternative is the use of biological destructors, which provide targeted transformation of plant residues in the soil by stimulating biotic processes.

Surprising Water Slipping Performance on Highly Hydrophilic PEG‐Derived Monolayer‐Covered Surfaces: Preparation, Mechanism, and Application

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Highly hydrophilic surfaces (water contact angle, ≈17.7°) exhibiting surprising water slipping performance (sliding angle, ≈7.3°) are successfully prepared via simple chemisorption of polyethylene glycol (PEG) organosilane and subsequent alkali‐treatment.
