Nutrient requirements of rainfed lowland rice in Cambodia [PDF]

, 2001
In most rainfed lowlands of Cambodia, soils used for rice cultivation are low in available nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P) and potassium (K), and have low organic matter content and low cation-exchange capacity.

Mechanical Side-Deep Fertilization Synergizes with Controlled-Release Fertilizer to Drive Low-Carbon and High-Efficiency Rice (Oryza sativa L.) Production

Agriculture
Against the backdrop of escalating global climate challenges, minimizing carbon emissions while enhancing energy efficiency in rice production has emerged as a core pathway toward achieving agricultural carbon neutrality. A two-year field study conducted

Nitrogen fertilizer application for improving the biomass, quality, and nitrogen fixation of alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) at different growth stages in a saline‒alkali soil [PDF]

PeerJ
Background The application of nitrogen (N) fertilizer to alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) has received little attention due to the ability of this plant to fix N. However, N deficiency stress is often observed in marginal lands of China, especially in saline–

Melanin's Role in Balancing Mechanical Strength and Reproductive Output in Environmentally Stressed Fungal Spores

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Melanin content directly controls fungal spore mechanical properties, with pigmented spores achieving rupture forces two orders of magnitude higher than hyaline spores. Environmental stress drives this quantity‐quality tradeoff; stressed species invest energy in melanin‐reinforced, mechanically superior thick‐walled, super‐hydrophobic spores, while ...

Biodegradable 3D‐Printable and Coatable Antifouling Composites for Marine Applications

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Marine biofouling damages submerged surfaces and raises greenhouse gas emissions. Biodegradable antifouling biocomposites were developed by hot‐mixing beeswax, Tween 80, and calcium stearate or stearic acid. Adjusting the component ratio enables processing via hot‐pressing, 3D‐printing, or dip‐coating.

Soil nitrogen level controls biochar's enhancement of microbial-derived carbon sequestration

Biochar
Biochar is a carbon (C)-rich product of thermochemical conversion of organic materials that can enhance soil C sequestration. Given the tight coupling of C and nitrogen (N) cycles and the constraints of C:N stoichiometry on microbial growth, soil N level

Leaftronics: Bio‐Fractal Scaffolds From Leaf Venation for Low‐Waste Electronics

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
“Leaftronics” transforms naturally evolved leaf venation into quasi‐fractal scaffolds for sustainable electronics. Polymer‐infiltrated leaf skeletons can be used to fabricate ultra‐smooth, reflow‐ and thin‐film‐compatible decomposable substrates, while making the same lignocellulose networks conducting results in flexible transparent electrodes.
