Effect of Soil Aeration and Root Morphology on Yield under Aerated Irrigation

open access: yesAgronomy, 2023
Soil compaction easily causes root hypoxia stress, resulting in poor root growth and the absorption of soil water and nutrients. We hypothesized that aerated irrigation (AI) could enhance nutrient uptake and utilization, thus unlocking the high yield ...

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

open access: yesAdvanced 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.

MORPHOLOGY OF SOILS IN ALASKA, USA

open access: yesBulletin of University of Agricultural Sciences and Veterinary Medicine Cluj-Napoca. Agriculture, 1970
Three field tours were undertaken across Alaska from 2005-2007 in an effort to better document the diversity of soils and associated features contained therein. Input and interactions between the UDSA-NRCS, soil science academicians, and consulting soil scientists were vital to describing the soils observed.

Elephant‐Skin‐Inspired Porous Cementitious Tiles with Programmable Crack Networks for Passive Cooling

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
Elephant‐skin‐inspired crack networks are programmed in porous diatomaceous earth (DE)‐cement composites using substrate‐guided, stress‐concentration induced fracture. The resulting crack lattices act as capillary conduits that redistribute water, while the porous matrix stores moisture.
