Advances in Civil EngineeringThe determination and evaluation of severity rating of soil is an important part of the research on the engineering properties of water-repellent soil. It is still difficult to accurately obtain the soil water-repelling rate in essence, and there are a ...

<i>Wolbachia</i> infection status and molecular diversity in the species of tribe Tagiadini Mabille, 1878 (Lepidoptera: Hesperiidae) collected in China. [PDF]
Ecol EvolA co‐phylogenetic comparison, divergence time estimation and Wolbachia recombination analysis revealed that mito‐nuclear discordance in Tagiadini species is not mediated by Wolbachia, but Wolbachia acquisition in Tagiadini appears to have occurred mainly through horizontal transmission rather than codivergence.

Agrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 6, Issue 3, September 2023., 2023 Abstract Finding feasible solutions for sustainable food production is challenging. Here we try to understand the balance between crop productivity and ecological stewardship using agroecological‐based soil management strategies. We evaluated the potential of different organic materials such as dairy manure compost and different biochar manure co ...

Glacial rock flour reduces the hydrophobicity of Greenlandic cultivated soils
Soil Science Society of America Journal, Volume 87, Issue 3, Page 439-452, May/June 2023., 2023 Abstract Soil water repellency (WR) is ubiquitous across Greenlandic cultivated fields, which may constrain agricultural production. Fine‐grained glacial rock flour (GRF) is available in the surrounding landscape, which could serve as a soil amendment. We tested whether the application of GRF (rates of 0, 50, 100, 300, and 500 ton ha−1) reduced the WR ...

Microplastics in agroecosystems: A review of effects on soil biota and key soil functions
Journal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science, Volume 186, Issue 1, Page 5-22, February 2023., 2023 Microplastic impacts on agroecosystem soil. Abstract Contamination of soils in agroecosystems with microplastics (MPs) is of increasing concern. The contamination of the environment/farmland soils with MPs (1 µm to 5 mm sized particles) and nanoplastics (NPs; <1 µm sized particles) is causing numerous effects on ecological soil functions and human ...

Water Resources Research, Volume 58, Issue 6, June 2022., 2022 Abstract Unstable flow in homogeneous dry soils, including saturation overshoot, is associated with a nonzero soil‐water contact angle (CA); 1D and 2D models for such flow, based on the moving‐boundary concept, were recently developed, solved, and verified for a constant high CA.

Ecosphere, Volume 12, Issue 3, March 2021., 2021 Abstract Forest ecosystems play a central role in global water and carbon cycles, yet the impact of global climate change, in particular drought, on trees and forests is poorly understood. Therefore, there is an urgent need for forest‐scale experiments in improving our understanding of trees’ responses to extreme drought events and subsequent recovery ...

European Journal of Soil Science, Volume 72, Issue 2, Page 963-978, March 2021., 2021 Abstract Soil wettability is important for understanding a wide range of earth system processes, from agricultural productivity to debris flows and sediment fan formation. However, there is limited research considering how soil–water interactions, where the soil grains are naturally hydrophobic, might change in the presence of oil from natural ...

Cover systems with synthetic water‐repellent soils
Vadose Zone Journal, Volume 20, Issue 1, January/February 2021., 2021 Abstract A cover system is a crucial component of engineered landfills, to minimize water percolation into the underlying waste. Capillary barriers are an alternative cover system, which has been widely used in the arid and semiarid regions as no cohesive, low‐permeability materials are used.
