Improving the Mechanical Properties of Biodegradable Polyhydroxyalkanoates via PHA–PHA Block‐Copolymer Synthesis

open access: yesChemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.
Covalent linkage of a highly crystalline PHBV with a ductile P3HB4HB is shown to produce block copolymers with markedly enhanced extensibility and toughness, outperforming equivalent blends. The results demonstrate that polymer architecture, not composition alone, governs mechanical response, offering a route to biodegradable materials that combine ...

The impact of fungicides on soil microorganisms

open access: yes, 2016
Modern agriculture depends heavily on pesticides, including fungicides. Fungicides such as triazoles, when applied every year, may accumulate in soils leading to the development of resistance to the applied compounds and subsequently to the spread of ...

Economic and environmental implications of the development of UASB reactors in Mexico for sustainable industrial wastewater treatment

open access: yesThe Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
Abstract The objective of this work is to demonstrate that the inclusion of an up‐flow anaerobic sludge bed (UASB reactor) within an industrial wastewater treatment plant reduces the plant's investment and operating costs compared to a system based solely on conventional complete‐mix activated sludge (CMAS), operating under the same design principles ...

Green and sustainable synthesis of magnetite from copper slag via citrate complexation for methylene blue dye removal from water

open access: yesThe Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
Abstract This study proposes a novel, green, and sustainable method for synthesizing magnetic iron oxides from metallurgical copper slag (CS), leveraging its iron content as a valuable resource. Iron was extracted via acid leaching using edible citric acid (ECA), forming a citrate–iron complex (CSL), which was subsequently thermally decomposed at 300°C

Microorganisms and Soil Structure

open access: yesTransactions of the Kansas Academy of Science (1903-), 1950
Soil structure has an important influence on soil erosion, water intake, and crop growth. A dispersed or compact soil has a low infiltration rate. A stable, granulated soil will permit rapid water intake, drainage, aeration, and beneficial microbial activity; crops grown in it will respond well to favorable moisture, fertility, and good cultural ...

High atmospheric pressure rescues plant growth under humidity stress: A model for climate‐resilient deep underground agriculture

open access: yesDeep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
High atmospheric pressure (120 kPa) in deep underground counteracts humidity‐induced physiological stress in plants, stabilizing water balance and enhancing antioxidative defenses. This synergy boosts biomass despite elevated humidity, demonstrating sustainable deep underground agriculture potential under climate uncertainty.

Influence of pesticides on soil microorganisms

open access: yes, 2023
Plant protection agents (pesticides) are products of chemical or biological origin, intended for the prevention, suppression and destruction of organisms harmful to cultivated plants (pests, pathogens and weeds) and are intensively used in agriculture ...

Effects of soil microorganisms on bamboo (Phyllostachys praecon C. D. Chu et C. S. Chao 'Prevernalis) growth [PDF]

open access: yes, 2021
Soil microorganisms and plants together form a stable dynamic system in which they interact and influence each other. The growth and development of plants provide nutrients to the soil microorganisms, which in turn promote and contribute to the growth

Global threats, local opportunities: ice‐related landforms provide refugia for high‐elevation plants and arthropods

open access: yesEcography, EarlyView.
Ice‐related landforms in mountain areas have been hypothesized to play a key role in the survival of cold‐adapted species threatened by climate change. However, our understanding of such landforms acting as refugia remains speculative. Here we analyse occurrence data, collected through a standardized sampling at 471 sampling points across the European ...
