Spatial variation of soil nutrients and evaluation of cultivated land quality based on field scale
Open Geosciences, 2023 The current cultivated land quality (CLQ) evaluation method fails to consider the determination of soil nutrients, resulting in the low efficiency of soil nutrient message extraction.

Laser‐Induced Graphene from Waste Almond Shells
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Almond shells, an abundant agricultural by‐product, are repurposed to create a fully bioderived almond shell/chitosan composite (ASC) degradable in soil. ASC is converted into laser‐induced graphene (LIG) by laser scribing and proposed as a substrate for transient electronics.

A Termite‐Inspired Alternative to Cement
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.A termite‐inspired composite of clay, cellulose, and lignin forms a dense fibrous network with concrete‐like strength (32 MPa) and superior elasticity, processed at ambient temperature. Abstract Clay combined with organic materials is used by termites as a strong and durable construction material for their mounds with minimal environmental impact. Here,

Soil porosity for three typical surfaces in the Nazas River upper watershed
Tecnología y ciencias del agua, 2012 This work presents a soil porosity study for three typical soil surfaces in the Nazas River upper watershed. The soil surfaces studied were: pine-oak forest, grassland and bare soil due to cattle trampling.

THE VOLUME AND POROSITY OF SOIL CRUMBS
Journal of Soil Science, 1966 Summary A simple and inexpensive apparatus (a test‐tube, burette, and pin) is described for measuring volumes by liquid displacement to an accuracy of greater than 0.5 per cent. This has been adapted to measure soil crumb porosities, ε c
