Recent research has focused on improving methods for determining soil plasticity, a key property that influences the behavior of fine-grained soils under different conditions. One significant area ...

Jan. 17, 2025 — Scientists find a 'measure and remeasure' approach is a feasible method of verifying soil carbon storage in croplands for climate ... Gene-Edited Soil Bacteria Could Provide ...

A 'biological universe' exists in a gram of soil. Find out how the soil biota within this tiny universe transform energy, create and modify their habitat, influence soil health, and aid in the ...

Introduction: Root hairs increase the surface area of a plant’s root system that is in contact with the soil, thus facilitating plant water and nutrient uptake. However, little is known about the ...

The health of soils is dependent on the mix of living organisms they contain, including bacteria, fungi, protozoa, insects, worms, other invertebrates and vertebrates. This variety of organisms ...

Due to the warming climate, glacier retreat has left massive glacial tills in steep gullies; ice in the soil is prone to change phase resulting in the decrease of the ice strength and bonding of soil ...

Library that includes standard material models (phenomenological laws) as well as implementations of multiscale homogenization schemes for the modeling of microscopically heterogeneous materials.

This is a plant/farming simulator based on Finite Element Method, which targets crops in fields and soil foundations. This software provides multi-physical simulations of agriculture for canopies, ...

This Special Issue is a joint effort between Analytical Chemistry, JPC C, and ACS Omega showing the many ways spectroscopic techniques have benefited from signal enhancement by surfaces. ACS ...

Plasticity is not unidirectional. The Enlightenment Project, vitally linked as it is to our sense of modernity and progressive values, will always inspire but it will also be haunted by the ...

First is plasticity – the ability of plants to adapt quickly to their environment and ... Many of these plants have extraordinary characteristics, including drought resistance, pest tolerance, and the ...
