Heavy metals phytoextraction from heavily and moderately contaminated soil by field crops grown in monoculture and crop rotation

open access: yesSoil and Water Research, 2011
The uptake of Pb, Cd, Zn and biomass production of the plants Brassica juncea v. Opaleska, Triticale hexaploides var. Gabo and Helianthus annuus v. Maritza were observed in a field (trial) and a pot experiments during four years. The plants were grown in

Anti‐Slip Material‐Based Strategies and Approaches

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
This review highlights the principle mechanisms of slipping at the microscale, linking contact mechanics with a friction behavior model for surface interfaces. Main strategies to develop anti‐slip properties to the surfaces are discussed alongside standardized testing approaches.

3D Printed Omniphobic Slippery Liquid Infused Porous Surfaces for Low Surface Tension Repellency

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
A 3D printing strategy fabricates omniphobic slippery liquid‐infused porous structures with lubricant reservoirs and interconnected microchannels. A post‐printing surface treatment modifies the porous surface to ensure compatibility with the infused fluorinated lubricant.

Mapping soil degradation using remote sensing data and ancillary data: South-East Moravia, Czech Republic

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Remote Sensing, 2019
Data on the real extent of soil that is degraded by erosion represent important information for the purposes of conservation policy. However, this type of data is rarely available for large areas.

Spatial and temporal variability of plant-available soil water in Congo Basin and its relationship with tree species distributions [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Regional-scale patterns of tropical rainforest tree composition can be due to climate (rainfall, dry season length), geology and/or soil properties (chemical fertility, available water). In Amazonia, soil fertility and dry season length appears to be the

Dual roles of spent mushroom substrate on soil improvement and enhanced drought tolerance of wheat Triticum aestivum [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
This study examines the effects of the spent substrate of oyster mushroom (SMS) for growing wheat at different drought conditions. The SMS not only served as the sole fertilizer to produce normal growth and grain yield of wheat but also improved the soil
