Precipitation Sensitivity to Soil Moisture Changes in Multiple Global Climate Models

open access: yesAtmosphere, 2023
The ability of soil moisture (SM) to affect precipitation (P) is a vital part of the water-energy cycles. Accurately quantifying this coupling enhances the ability to predict hydroclimatic extremes like floods and droughts.

A New Method for Generating the SMOPS Blended Satellite Soil Moisture Data Product without Relying on a Model Climatology

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2022
Soil moisture operational product system (SMOPS) is developed by National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) to provide the real-time blended soil moisture (SM) for numeric weather prediction and national water model applications. However, all

Soil moisture-vegetation interaction from near-global in-situ soil moisture measurements

open access: yesEnvironmental Research Letters, 2022
Although the interactions between soil moisture (SM) and vegetation dynamics have been extensively investigated, most of previous findings are derived from satellite-observed and/or model-simulated SM data, which inevitably include multiple sources of ...

Evaluating Satellite Soil Moisture Datasets for Drought Monitoring in Australia and the South-West Pacific

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2022
Soil moisture (SM) is critical in monitoring the time-lagged impacts of agrometeorological drought. In Australia and several south-west Pacific Small Island Developing States (SIDS), there are a limited number of in situ SM stations that can adequately ...

Agar‐Based Optical Sensing System With a Phosphorescent Grid Pattern for Measuring Stress Distributions of Root Growth Using the Sampling Moiré Method

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
This paper presents an agar medium with a phosphorescent grid pattern that measures the stress distribution generated by growing plant roots. Using phosphorescence, the system optically separates the grid pattern from the root and extracts the grid deformation.

Root‐Stimulated Movements in Mimosa Pudica for Biohybrid Robotic Systems

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
This study demonstrates that thermal and electrical stimulation of Mimosa pudica root induces movement of the petiole and pinnules without direct stimulation of the aerial organs, thereby enabling a plant‐based robotic gripper and providing a foundation for the development of intelligent and sustainable systems.

PINN‐SM: A Physics‐Informed Neural Networks Model for Vadose Zone Soil Moisture Profile Prediction

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Machine Learning and Computation
Abstract Accurate prediction and monitoring of soil water content in the vadose zone (VZSWC) is important, yet challenging, for sustainable management of water resources. Although machine learning algorithms have shown promise, given limited and noisy subsurface data, they often struggle with overfitting, poor generalization, and ...

Natural Antioxidants as Thermal Stabilizers in Post‐Consumer Polypropylene

open access: yesJournal of Applied Polymer Science, EarlyView.
A synergistic antioxidant system combining two natural antioxidants, quercetin and tocopherol, enhances the thermo‐oxidative stability of recycled polypropylene. The approach addresses key barriers to the utilization of recycled polymers, offering a sustainable pathway to improve material performance and supporting the broader adoption of recycled ...
