Food Chemistry International, EarlyView.Lychee starch coatings enriched with procyanidins showed strong antifungal activity and effectively preserved strawberry quality postharvest, reducing weight loss, decay, and senescence. This highlights their potential as a sustainable natural alternative for shelf‐life extension and fungal control in fresh produce.

Biodiversity and biomass co‐regulate urban forest drought resistance
Frontiers in Ecology and the Environment, EarlyView.Severe droughts induced by climate change present substantial challenges to urban forests. While the role that species richness plays in enhancing drought resistance in natural ecosystems has been highlighted in previous studies, its impact within urban forests remains less understood.

Integrating effects of species composition and soil properties to predict shifts in montane forest carbon-water relations. [PDF]
, 2018 This study was designed to address a major source of uncertainty pertaining to coupled carbon-water cycles in montane forest ecosystems. The Sierra Nevada of California was used as a model system to investigate connections between the physiological ...

Programmable crack dynamics engineering enables flexible strain sensors with high linearity
FlexMat, EarlyView.First‐decoupling theoretical framework of crack evolution elucidating the control methods, mechanistic insights, and structure‐activity relationships is established. Crack propagation from uncontrollable randomness systematically evolves into spatially ordered states.

Linear root water uptake by vegetation [PDF]
, 2009 The performance of a simple model with a linear root water extraction term that varies with time is presented in this paper. The research is based on the use of a one-dimensional form of Richard’s Equation for unsaturated moisture flow including a sink ...

Uncertainty in the determination of soil hydraulic parameters and its influence on the performance of two hydrological models of different complexity [PDF]
, 2009 Data of soil hydraulic properties forms often a limiting factor in unsaturated zone modelling, especially at the larger scales. Investigations for the hydraulic characterization of soils are time-consuming and costly, and the accuracy of the results ...

Decadal water balance of a temperate Scots pine forest (Pinus sylvestris L.) based on measurements and modelling [PDF]
, 2010 We examined the water balance components of an 80-year-old Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) forest stand in the Campine region of Belgium over a ten year period using five very different approaches; our methods ranged from data intensive measurements to ...
