Grass Clippings Mulching Improves Infiltrability of Low-Permeability Dryland Soils

Air, Soil and Water Research
In arid and semiarid regions, the high compactness and poor water permeability of the soils severely limit agricultural production. This study aims to shed light on techniques to enhance the permeability of these soils—specifically, by improving soil ...

Assessment of soil compaction using soil shrinkage modelling : experimental data and perspectives

, 2006
International audienceSoil compaction assessment is an important and difficult issue. In particular, it is difficult to quantify separately the compaction of macro-pores and micro-pores in the soil, and to account for spatial variability in soil ...

Bending‐Stable Pressure Sensor Based on Natural Wood Nanofibers for Ultra‐Low Detection Limit

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A wood nanofiber‐based flexible pressure sensor with intrinsic bending‐stable performance is developed through a porous electrospun architecture and interdigital electrode design. The device exhibits an ultra‐low detection limit and stable operation under deformation for physiological monitoring and spatial sensing, providing a sustainable strategy for

Groundwater Rise Sustains the World's Largest Alpine Water System Under Global Warming

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Shallow groundwater depth (SGWD) across the non‐permafrost plains of the Qinghai–Xizang Plateau decreased at averagely 0.02 m year−1, adding 31.44 Gt of freshwater storage from 2000 to 2020 and sustaining ∼53 500 km2 of alpine ecosystems. A vadose‐zone capacity of 426.6 Gt reveals these aquifers as promising reservoirs, highlighting groundwater's ...

Accelerating Phosphate Transport Across Membranes via Synergistic Chemical‐Electrochemical Carriers

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
A new membrane design principle based on synergistic chemical and electrochemical carriers is proposed to construct an electro‐driven carrier‐conducting membrane for high‐throughput phosphate transport. Monodispersed ferrihydrite nanoparticles embedded within the membrane act as built‐in phosphate carriers, enabling accelerated phosphate migration via ...

Multi‐Scale Bionic Structure Constructs Biomass Flame‐Retardant Thermal Insulation Foam Material

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Inspired by mussel adhesion and hierarchical brick‐and‐mortar architectures, a cellulose‐based biomimetic foam is constructed by anchoring bentonite nanosheets onto a polydopamine‐decorated cellulose nanofiber network. The resulting foam combines low thermal conductivity with intrinsic flame retardancy and full biodegradability, presenting a ...

Physical-hydric attributes in areas under forest-pasture conversion in southern Amazon, Brazil

Biotechnologie, Agronomie, Société et Environnement
Description of the subject. The increasing occupation and exploitation of the Amazon has resulted in the increased conversion of forest areas into agricultural land or pasture. This often has negative impacts on soil and water dynamics.
