Impact of Soil Compaction on Pore Characteristics and Hydraulic Properties by Using X-Ray CT and Soil Water Retention Curve in China’s Loess Plateau [PDF]

The Loess Plateau of China, a region highly vulnerable to erosion and climatic variability, faces significant soil degradation exacerbated by intensive agricultural practices and anthropogenic pressures. This study investigates the impacts of incremental

The influence of soil macroporosity on water retention, transmission and drainage in a clay soil

Soil Use and Management, 1986
Abstract. Reductions in hydraulic conductivity and specific yield (drainable porosity) of large cores of Evesham clay soil were observed for periods up to 40 days under continuous ponding. A strong linear relationship ( r 2 = 0.94) found between these ...

Canagliflozin Alleviates Diabetic Glomerular Endothelial Injury via Melibiose in a Microbiota‐Dependent Manner

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Canagliflozin treatment reshapes the gut microbiota in DKD and elevates levels of melibiose, a metabolite derived from Roseburia intestinalis. Melibiose directly binds to and enhances the enzymatic activity of glyoxalase 1, leading to decreased methylglyoxal accumulation.

Characterizing soil shrinkage and soil-water retention behaviors of clayey soils with pore-size distribution and microstructure evolution

Journal of Rock Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering
The soil-water retention and soil shrinkage characteristics are both crucial constitutive relations for unsaturated soils. Although existing research has explored the correlation between these two characteristics to some extent, the underlying mechanisms

Temperature Dependence of Water Retention Curves for Wettable and Water-Repellent Soils

Soil Science Society of America Journal, 2002
The capillary pressure (ψ) in unsaturated porous media is known to be a function of temperature ( T ). Temperature affects the surface tension (σ) of the pore water, but possibly also the angle of contact (γ).

Cross Kingdom Metabolic Engineering Paradigm Elevating Sustainable Protein Production

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Confronting the dual crisis of escalating global protein demand and unsustainable agriculture necessitates transformative solutions. Here, we pioneer evolutionary insights from maize nitrogen optimization via asparagine synthetase (ASNS) to rewire metabolism in Pichia pastoris.

Soil respiration from fields under three crop rotation treatments and three straw retention treatments.

PLoS ONE, 2019
Straw retention is an effective method to conserve soil water content and improve soil carbon stocks. However, how soil carbon dynamics respond to different straw retention practices remains unclear.

Multi‐Enzyme Mimetic Molybdenum Nitride Nanozymes Reshape Subgingival Microenvironment for Synergistic Periodontitis Therapy via ROS Regulation and Microbiome Remodeling

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Periodontitis, a chronic inflammatory disease initiated and sustained by plaque microorganisms and host immune response, remains an intractable oral disease and a leading cause of tooth loss worldwide. Traditional mechanical debridement and adjunctive antibiotic or antiseptic therapy often shows limited efficacy due to the complex anatomical ...
