Short-term impact of mechanical loosening on physical soil properties in a severely compacted subsoil

Geoderma
Subsoil compaction is a serious threat to the fertility of our urban and agricultural lands. In severe cases it impedes aeration of and water infiltration into the subsoil, increasing risks of water-logging and overland run-off with erosion.

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.

Interaction of fulvic acid with soil organo-mineral nano-aggregates and corresponding phosphate release

Geoderma
For more insight into the interaction of natural organic matter (NOM) with metal (hydr)oxides and oxyanions, the adsorption of added fulvic acid (FA) and the corresponding release of phosphate (PO4) were studied for a series of agricultural soils (∼0 ...

Self‐Sintering Ionogel Binder for Flexible, Recyclable, and Healable Printed Giant Magnetoresistive Sensors

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Electronic waste has emerged as a major environmental challenge, driven by the massive consumption and a limited lifetime of modern electronic devices, stimulating the development of sustainable electronics. Here, an all‐biomaterial gelatin‐choline‐citric acid ([Ch][CA]) ionogel is developed as an active binder to realize self‐sintered ...

The Beneficial Effects of Inoculation with Selected Nodule-Associated PGPR on White Lupin Are Comparable to Those of Inoculation with Symbiotic Rhizobia

Plants, 2023
Nodule endophytes and associated bacteria are non-symbiotic bacteria that colonize legume nodules. They accompany nodulating rhizobia and can form beneficial associations, as some of them are plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) that are able to ...
