Solutions to Soil Problems: IV. Soil Structure
, 2010 Soil structure refers to the combination of primary soil particles – sand, silt and clay – into larger units called aggregates or clods. Aggregates are commonly seen when a soil is tilled or disturbed.

Hyperelastic Starch Hydrogel Configures Edible and Biodegradable All‐Components for Soft Robots
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Hyperelastic starch hydrogel is tailored via a phase separation strategy of solvent‐antisolvent co‐modulation. The mechanical performance of starch hydrogel is widely tuned with maximum strains: 194.4–361.4%; maximum tensile stresses: 34–192 kPa; and Young's moduli: 36.0–205.8 kPa. Notably, the hydrogel achieves complete soil degradation within 24 days

Cattle trampling reduces the risk of nitrate leaching in organic dairy rotations [PDF]
, 2010 Organic dairy farming is characterized by grazing cows in contrast to Danish conventional farms where the majority of cows are kept indoors. Cattle trampling reduces the finer macroporosity in the top 5-10 cm of the soil.

Modifications of chemical properties and copper speciation in the solution of field-collected rhizosphere [PDF]
, 2015 Among the potential soil drivers of trace element phytoavailability, the ability of plant roots to alter the chemical properties and consequently trace element speciation in the solution of their rhizosphere remained comparatively poorly addressed.

Generalized Mechanism Model for Ecosystem Hysteresis
Advanced Science, EarlyView.A simplified model examines ecosystem transitions into alternative states after disturbances by leveraging positive and negative feedbacks. It identifies critical tipping points and quantifies hysteresis. Tests conducted on lakes, grasslands, and pitcher‐plant leaves align closely with empirical data and enable the prediction of recovery trajectories ...
