Experimenting Thinking in Image Schemas. Teenagers are Wondering \u201cWhere Do Thoughts Come From?\u201d. An intellectual view of philosophy as an activity focusing on understanding abstract concepts and their relationships deprives philosophical exercise of the participation of the body and senses. If we reject the mind-body dualism, as Dewey, Johnson, etc. did, then we are constantly engaged in interactions with the world and others, and can thus consider the act of thinking from our own experiences. Inspired by an experimentalist conception of school and life, as well as the method of inquiry developed by Dewey, the Philosophy for Children program provides an inquiry process that invites participants to conceptualize and reason philosophically in a collaborative manner. Do these practices implement an embodied cognition? To find out, we selected a discussion as a case study and analyzed it based on the observation that the issue to be discussed by the participants - \u201cwhere do thoughts come from?\u201d contains two image schemas: path (come from) and source (where). We have noted a variety and a significant number of expressions (\u201cthey come from within\u201d, \u201cthey come from what happens outside\u201d, etc.) whose analysis enhances a better understanding of how an experience of understanding the origins of our thoughts fits into the discourse and contributes to a collective conceptualization of \u201cthinking\u201d.

<p>Studies on soil organic carbon (SOC) stocks mostly focus on topsoils (< 30 cm). However, 30 to 63% of the SOC are stored in the subsoils (30 to 100 cm), and the factors controlling SOC storage in subsoils may be substantially different than in topsoils. The low mean SOC content in subsoils makes its quantification and characterization challenging. Thus, new approaches are required to depict the SOC stocks distribution in full soil profile. Hyperspectral imaging of soil core samples can provide high spatial resolution of the vertical distribution of SOC in a soil profile. The main objective of the ongoing study, within the Horizon 2020 European Project Circular Agronomics, is to apply laboratory hyperspectral imaging with a variety of machine learning approaches for the mapping of OC distribution in undisturbed soil cores. Soil cores were collected down to a depth of one meter in grasslands of 15 organic farms located in the Lungau Valley, in Austria. Some samples were divided into five depths in the field for classical bulk soil measurements (total carbon and nitrogen, texture, pH, EC and bulk density) on disturbed samples. Undisturbed soil cores were sliced vertically for laboratory hyperspectral imaging in the range of Vis-NIR (400-1000 nm). We were able to reveal the hotspots of OC and map the OC distribution in soil profile by applying a variety of machine learning approaches (i.e. partial least square and random forest regression) as a function of spectral responses. A digital elevation model was further exploited to investigate the effects of topographical factors such as elevation, aspect and slope on SOC profile distribution. Landsat 8 data were also used to depict the spatial variability of land insensitive cover/vegetation in study area.</p>

However, this increase needs to be achieved in a sustainable way, without jeopardising the ecosystem and environment. Innovations in AgTech are accelerating this process and providing adequate solutions for optimisation of on-field decision-making, but they are often isolated and inaccessible to the farmers. The objective of our work was to design a comprehensive farm management system that takes scientific achievements and enables farmers to use them in their daily operations. MATERIAL and METHOD: In order to digitally transform the Serbian agriculture, we designed AgroSense farm management information system. It was launched in 2017 and has since gathered more than 20,000 users, whose total area equals one fourth of all farmland in Serbia. The platform has a number of modules for weather forecast, historical weather records, digital field books, satellite image processing etc., while the newest addition is the drone image processing module. This module allows 3rd party drone services to scan the fields and upload the data to the platform, after which, the images are processed and analysed. The analysis is directed towards zone management delineation, which is the first step in application of precision agriculture technologies. Zones are detected within the field as areas with homogeneous soil and elevation properties. This is done by applying k-means, an unsupervised machine learning model for clusterisation of data, i.e. pixels in this case. This algorithm minimises the intra-class variance (variance of pixels within the zone) and maximises the inter-class variance (variance between pixels from different classes. This zone delineation can be done on a pixel-level if the objective of zone delineation is e.g. choosing the right locations for soil sampling, or on the level of the tractor swath if the goal is e.g. the variable-rate application of fertiliser. The number of zones and the swath width are variable parameters, left to the user to choose, according to the size of the field, type of the equipment and other factors. RESULTS and CONCLUSIONS: The resulting platform was deployed in 2021 and tested on a number of users. It yielded excellent results and served for optimising the route and sampling location of unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs), characterisation of fields and variable application of fertiliser. Future work includes development of other algorithms for more complex image recognition tasks, such as row detection, leaf area assessment and disease/weed mapping.", "keywords": ["2.

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) perform key soil ecosystem services and, because of their symbiotic relationship with plant roots, may be exposed to the plant protection products (PPPs) applied to soils and crops. In 2017, the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) released a scientific opinion addressing the state of the science on risk assessment of PPPs for in-soil organisms, recommending the inclusion of AMF ecotoxicological testing in the PPP regulatory process. However, it is not clear how this can be implemented in a tiered, robust, and ecologically relevant manner. Through a critical review of current literature, we examine the recommendations made within the EFSA report and the methodologies available to integrate AMF into the PPP risk assessment and provide perspective and commentary on their agronomic and ecological relevance. We conclude that considerable research questions remain to be addressed prior to the inclusion of AMF into the in-soil organism risk assessment, many of which stem from the unique challenges associated with including an obligate symbiont within the PPP risk assessment. Finally, we highlight critical knowledge gaps and the further research required to enable development of relevant, reliable, and robust scientific tests alongside pragmatic and scientifically sound guidance to ensure that any future risk-assessment paradigm is adequately protective of the ecosystem services it aims to preserve.

Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry published by Wiley Periodicals LLC on behalf of SETAC.0.7 show a limited range in \u03b494/90ZrIPGP-Zr (0.053\u202f\u00b1\u202f0.040\u2030; 2sd, n\u202f=\u202f8). In contrast, basaltic lavas from mantle sources that have undergone significant melt depletion, such as depleted normal MORB (N-MORB) show resolvable variations in \u03b494/90ZrIPGP-Zr, from \u22120.045\u202f\u00b1\u202f0.018 to 0.074\u202f\u00b1\u202f0.023\u2030. Highly evolved igneous differentiates (>65\u202fwt% SiO2) from Hekla volcano in Iceland are isotopically heavier than less evolved igneous rocks, up to 0.53\u2030. These results suggest that both mantle melt depletion and extreme magmatic differentiation leads to resolvable mass-dependent Zr isotope fractionation. We find that this isotopic fractionation is most likely driven by incorporation of light isotopes of Zr within the 8-fold coordinated sites of zircons, driving residual melts, with a lower coordination chemistry, towards heavier values. Using a Rayleigh fractionation model, we suggest a \u03b1zircon-melt of 0.9995 based on the whole rock \u03b494/90ZrIPGP-Zr values of the samples from Hekla volcano (Iceland). Zirconium isotopic fractionation during melt-depletion of the mantle is less well-constrained, but may result from incongruent melting and incorporation of isotopically light Zr in the 8-fold coordinated M2 site of orthopyroxene. Based on these observations lavas originating from the effect of melt extraction from a depleted mantle source (N-MORB) or that underwent zircon saturation (SiO2\u202f>\u202f65\u202fwt%) are removed from the dataset to give an estimate of the primitive mantle Zr isotope composition of 0.048\u202f\u00b1\u202f0.032\u2030; 2sd, n\u202f=\u202f48. These data show that major controls on Zr fractionation in the Earth result from partial melt extraction in the mantle and by zircon fractionation in differentiated melts. Conversely, fertile mantle is homogenous with respect to Zr isotopes. Zirconium mass-dependent fractionation effects can therefore be used to trace large-scale mantle melt depletion events and the effects of felsic crust formation.", "keywords": ["GE", "Non-traditional stable isotope", "550", "NDAS", "MORB", "01 natural sciences", "[SDU] Sciences of the Universe [physics]", "Magmatic differentiation", "13.

Kattegat is a waterbody between Denmark and Sweden that receives inflow from the Baltic Sea and direct urban runoff from the metropolitan area of Copenhagen and Malm\u00f6. MPs were measured in 14 continuous transects while steaming between monitoring stations. MP levels tended to be highest close to the Copenhagen-Malm\u00f6 area, albeit this was more obvious from the abundance of particles rather than mass. The outcome of the measurements allowed a rough MP budget in the Danish Straits region, suggesting that urban waste- and stormwater discharges could not be neglected as potential MP source in these waters. The marine samples were collected by pumping and filtering water over 10 \u03bcm steel filters, hereby sampling a total of 19.3 m3. They were prepared and analyzed by FPA-\u03bcFTIR imaging, and the scans interpreted to yield MP size, shape, polymer type, and estimated mass.

Most MPs were smaller than 100 \u03bcm and fragments dominated the samples.

Megathrust earthquake sequences, comprising mainshocks and triggered aftershocks along the subduction interface and in the overriding crust, can impact multiple buildings and infrastructure in a city. The time between the mainshocks and aftershocks usually is too short to retrofit the structures; therefore, moderate\uffe2\uff80\uff90size aftershocks can cause additional damage. To have a better understanding of the impact of aftershocks on city\uffe2\uff80\uff90wide seismic risk assessment, a new simulation framework of spatiotemporal seismic hazard and risk assessment of future M9.0 sequences in the Cascadia subduction zone is developed. The simulation framework consists of an epidemic\uffe2\uff80\uff90type aftershock sequence (ETAS) model, ground\uffe2\uff80\uff90motion model, and state\uffe2\uff80\uff90dependent seismic fragility model. The spatiotemporal ETAS model is modified to characterise aftershocks of large and anisotropic M9.0 mainshock ruptures. To account for damage accumulation of wood\uffe2\uff80\uff90frame houses due to aftershocks in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada, state\uffe2\uff80\uff90dependent fragility curves are implemented. The new simulation framework can be used for quasi\uffe2\uff80\uff90real\uffe2\uff80\uff90time aftershock hazard and risk assessments and city\uffe2\uff80\uff90wide post\uffe2\uff80\uff90event risk management.

The present study investigated the effect of two leguminous cover crops, Canavalia ensiformis (L.)

In both trials, M.\u00a0nigrivenella densities at harvest tended to be higher in the maize alone than the legume treatments, but the effect depended on the timing of planting of the cover crop in relation to that of maize. There were no discernible trends for other borers such as the noctuid Sesamia calamistis Hampson, the pyralid Eldana saccharina Walker, and the tortricid Thaumatotibia leucotreta Meyrick. Furthermore, M.\u00a0nigrivenella pest loads were considerably higher on C.\u00a0ensiformis than maize, indicating that the presence of alternative host plant species in the vicinity of maize fields did not increase M.\u00a0nigrivenella attack on maize.

However, recent hydrologic data from arid systems show that soil water potentials at depth fluctuate little over long time periods, suggesting this water may be rarely utilized or replenished. In this study, we examine the distributions of root biomass, soil moisture and nutrient contents to 10-m depths at five semi-arid and arid sites across southwestern USA. We couple these depth distributions with strontium (Sr) isotope data that show deep (>1 m) nutrient uptake is prevalent at four of the five sites. At all of the sites, the highest abundance of one or more of the measured nutrients occurred deep within the soil profile, particularly for P, Ca2+ and Mg2+. Phosphate contents were greater at depth than in the top meter of soil at three of five sites. At Jornada, for example, the 2-3 m depth increment had twice the extractable P as the top meter of soil, despite the highest concentrations of P occurring at the surface. The prevalence of such deep resource pools, and our evidence for cation uptake from them, suggest nutrient uptake as a complementary explanation for the occurrence of deep-rooted plants in arid and semi-arid systems.

Theory and data suggest that N capture from pulses should depend on plant growth rate and availability of other limiting resources. Theory also predicts trade-offs in plant stress tolerance and ability to capture N from different size pulses. We injected K15NO3, to simulate small and large N pulses at three different times during the growing season into soil around the co-dominant Great Basin species Sarcobatus vermiculatus, Chrysothamnus nauseosus ssp. consimilis, and Distichlis spicata. Soils were amended with water and P in a partial factorial design. As predicted, all study species showed a comparable decline in N capture from large pulses through the season as growth rates slowed. Surprisingly, however, water and P availability differentially influenced the ability of these species to capture N from pulses. Distichlis N capture increased up to tenfold with water addition while Chrysothamnus N capture increased up to threefold with P addition. Sarcobatus N capture was not affected by water or P availability. Opposite to our prediction, Sarcobatus, the most stress tolerant species, captured less N from small pulses but more N from large pulses relative to the other species. These observations suggest that variation in N pulse timing and size can interact with variable soil water and P supply to determine how N is partitioned among co-existing Great Basin species.", "keywords": ["2.

Accumulating evidence suggests that warming associated with climate change is decreasing the total amount of soil organic carbon (SOC) in drylands, although scientific research has not given enough emphasis to particulate (POC) and mineral-associated organic carbon (MAOC) pools. Biocrusts are a major biotic feature of drylands and have large impacts on the C cycle, yet it is largely unknown whether they modulate the responses of POC and MAOC to climate change. Here, we assessed the effects of simulated climate change (control, reduced rainfall (RE), warming (WA), and RE\uffe2\uff80\uff89+\uffe2\uff80\uff89WA) and initial biocrust cover (low (<\uffe2\uff80\uff8920%) versus high (>\uffe2\uff80\uff8950%)) on the mineral protection of soil C and soil organic matter quality in a dryland ecosystem in central Spain for 9\uffc2\uffa0years. At low initial biocrust cover levels, both WA and RE\uffe2\uff80\uff89+\uffe2\uff80\uff89WA increased SOC, especially POC but also MAOC, and promoted a higher contribution of carbohydrates, relative to aromatic compounds, to the POC fraction. These results suggest that the accumulation of soil C under warming treatments may be transitory in soils with low initial biocrust cover. In soils with high initial biocrust cover, climate change treatments did not affect SOC, neither POC nor MAOC fraction. Overall, our results indicate that biocrust communities modulate the negative effect of climate change on SOC, because no losses of soil C were observed with the climate manipulations under biocrusts. Future work should focus on determining the long-term persistence of the observed buffering effect by biocrust-forming lichens, as they are known to be negatively affected by warming.Suboptimal water and nutrient availability are primary constraints in global agriculture. Root anatomy plays key roles in soil resource acquisition. In this article we summarize evidence that root anatomical phenotypes present opportunities for crop breeding.

Scope

Root anatomical phenotypes influence soil resource acquisition by regulating the metabolic cost of soil exploration, exploitation of the rhizosphere, the penetration of hard soil domains, the axial and radial transport of water, and interactions with soil biota including mycorrhizal fungi, pathogens, insects, and the rhizosphere microbiome. For each of these topics we provide examples of anatomical phenotypes which merit attention as selection targets for crop improvement. Several cross-cutting issues are addressed including the importance of phenotypic plasticity, integrated phenotypes, C sequestration, in silico modeling, and novel methods to phenotype root anatomy including image analysis tools.

Conclusions

An array of anatomical phenes have substantial importance for the acquisition of water and nutrients. Substantial phenotypic variation exists in crop germplasm. New tools and methods are making it easier to phenotype root anatomy, determine its genetic control, and understand its utility for plant fitness. Root anatomical phenotypes are underutilized yet attractive breeding targets for the development of the efficient, resilient crops urgently needed in global agriculture.

Laser micromanipulation such as dissection or optical trapping enables remote physical modification of the activity of tissues, cells and organelles. To date, applications of laser manipulation to plant roots grown in soil have been limited. Here, we show laser manipulation can be applied in situ when plant roots are grown in transparent soil.

Methods

We have developed a Q-switched laser manipulation and imaging instrument to perform controlled dissection of roots and to study light-induced root growth responses. We performed a detailed characterisation of the properties of the cutting beams through the soil, studying dissection and optical ablation. Furthermore, we also studied the use of low light doses to control the root elongation rate of lettuce seedlings (Lactuca sativa) in air, agar, gel and transparent soil.

Results

We show that whilst soil inhomogeneities affect the thickness and circularity of the beam, those distortions are not inherently limiting. The ability to induce changes in root elongation or complete dissection of microscopic regions of the root is robust to substrate heterogeneity and microscopy set up and is maintained following the limited distortions induced by the transparent soil environment.

Conclusions

Our findings show that controlled in situ laser dissection of root tissues is possible with a simple and low-cost optical set-up. We also show that, in the absence of dissection, a reduced laser light power density can provide reversible control of root growth, achieving a precise \uffe2\uff80\uff9cpoint and shoot\uffe2\uff80\uff9d method for root manipulation.Our understanding of the rhizosphere is limited by the lack of techniques for in situ live microscopy. Current techniques are either destructive or unsuitable for observing chemical changes within the pore space. To address this limitation, we have developed artificial substrates, termed smart soils, that enable the acquisition and 3D reconstruction of chemical sensors attached to soil particles.

Methods

The transparency of smart soils was achieved using polymer particles with refractive index matching that of water. The surface of the particles was modified both to retain water and act as a local sensor to report on pore space pH via fluorescence emissions. Multispectral signals were acquired from the particles using a light sheet microscope, and machine learning algorithms predicted the changes and spatial distribution in pH at the surface of the smart soil particles.

Results

The technique was able to predict pH live and in situ within \uffc2\uffb1\uffe2\uff80\uff890.5 units of the true pH value. pH distribution could be reconstructed across a volume of several cubic centimetres around plant roots at 10\uffc2\uffa0\uffce\uffbcm resolution. Using smart soils of different composition, we revealed how root exudation and pore structure create variability in chemical properties.

Conclusion

Smart soils captured the pH gradients forming around a growing plant root. Future developments of the technology could include the fine tuning of soil physicochemical properties, the addition of chemical sensors and improved data processing. Hence, this technology could play a critical role in advancing our understanding of complex rhizosphere processes.

The canonical difficulty of experimentally investigating the rhizosphere led long ago to the adoption of mathematical models, the most sophisticated of which now incorporate explicit representations of root hairs and rhizosphere soil. Mathematical upscaling regimes, such as homogenisation, offer the possibility of incorporating into larger-scale models the important mechanistic processes occurring at the rhizosphere scale. However, we lack concrete descriptions of all the features required to fully parameterise models at the rhizosphere scale. By combining synchrotron X-ray computed tomography (SRXCT) and a novel root growth assay, we derive a three-dimensional description of rhizosphere soil structure suitable for use in multi-scale modelling frameworks. We describe an approach to mitigate sub-optimal root hair detection via structural root hair growth modelling. The growth model is explicitly parameterised with SRXCT data and simulates three-dimensional root hair ideotypes in silico, which are suitable for both ideotypic analysis and parameterisation of 3D geometry in mathematical models. The study considers different hypothetical conditions governing root hair interactions with soil matrices, with their respective effects on hair morphology being compared between idealised and image-derived soil/root geometries. The studies in idealised geometries suggest that packing arrangement of soil affects hair tortuosity more than the particle diameter. Results in field-derived soil suggest that hair access to poorly mobile nutrients is particularly sensitive to the physical interaction between the growing hairs and the phase of the soil in which soil water is present (i.e. the hydrated textural phase). The general trends in fluid-coincident hair length with distance from the root, and their dependence on hair/soil interaction mechanisms, are conserved across Cartesian and cylindrical geometries.", "keywords": ["2.

This study aimed: i) to determine the current EU struvite production volumes, ii) to evaluate all legislated physicochemical characteristics and pathogen content of European struvite against newly set regulatory limits, and iii) to compare not-regulated struvite characteristics. It is estimated that in 2020, between 990 and 1250 ton P are recovered as struvite in the EU. Struvite from 24 European production plants, accounting for 30% of the 80 struvite installations worldwide was sampled. Three samples failed the physicochemical legal limits; one had a P content of <7% and three exceeded the organic carbon content of 3% dry weight (DW). Mineralogical analysis revealed that six samples had a struvite content of 80-90% DW, and 13 samples a content of >90% DW. All samples showed a heavy metal content below the legal limits. Microbiological analyses indicated that struvite may exceed certain legal limits. Differences in morphology and particle size distribution were observed for struvite sourced from digestate (rod shaped; transparent; 82 mass%\u202f<\u202f1\u202fmm), dewatering liquor (spherical; opaque; 65 mass% 1-2\u202fmm) and effluent from upflow anaerobic sludge blanket reactor processing potato wastewater (spherical; opaque; 51 mass%\u202f<\u202f1\u202fmm and 34 mass%\u202f>\u202f2\u202fmm). A uniform soil-plant P-availability pattern of 3.5-6.5\u202fmg P/L soil/d over a 28\u202fdays sampling period was observed. No differences for plant biomass yield were observed. In conclusion, the results highlight the suitability of most struvite to enter the EU fertilizer market.", "keywords": ["2.

Recently, mosaicking has increasingly shifted towards user friendly cloud-based online environments such as Google Earth Engine (GEE), which are equipped with huge image repositories and extensive processing capabilities. This enables the easy transferability of workflows into new image sets and diversifies the range of methodological options for mosaicking. The quality control of the output mosaic, ensuring that the reflectance values are representative to the targeted land cover, is however primarily based on certain assumptions or pre-set rules which may not always produce an optimal result. Our study focuses on assessing and comparing the performance of three different mosaicking algorithms for predicting forest inventory variables, based on an extensive set of field data on the main site type, fertility class, and volume and biomass of growing stock. One of the compared mosaics derives from manual image selection, thus enabling rigorous visual quality control, and two others are resting on GEE-assisted automatized methods which include applying a percentile-based statistic over all the input reflectance values and selecting the best pixels using predefined quality indicators. The results indicate that the manual and the percentile-based mosaics are generally providing the best and relatively equal performance levels. Compared to them, the quality-based mosaic has slightly lower accuracy particularly when predicting continuous variables (i.e., the volume and biomass of growing stock) and it suffers from minor image defects. For the total volume of growing stock, for example, the RMS errors are 56.22 % for the manual, 56.33 % for the percentile-based, and 59.47 % for the quality-based mosaics, respectively. These results indicate that from the perspective of large area forest mapping, automatically generated mosaics may provide approximately similar accuracy as compared to manually controlled workflow at a fraction of the workload.", "keywords": ["Image mosaicking", "Physical geography", "791", "forest research", "04 agricultural and veterinary sciences", "15.

The dissolution and aggregation of the particles were studied in (a) synthetic aqueous media, similar in chemistry to natural surface waters, and (b) natural surface waters samples, for up to 32 or 24\u202fh. The DOC stabilized the particles and prevented aggregation, and thus increased the available surface area. The higher available surface area in turn accelerated the dissolution of the particles. The presence of Ca2+/Mg2+, however, changed the aggregation and the dissolution of the DOC-stabilized particles. The influence of Ca2+/Mg2+ on DOC-stabilized particles was different at different pH's. In the absence of DOC, 10\u202fmM of Ca2+/Mg2+ induced charge reversal on the particles and caused particle stability against aggregation. This subsequently increased particles dissolution. The results obtained with regard to dissolution and aggregation of the particles in natural surface waters were compared with those determined for the synthetic waters. This comparison showed that the behavior of the particles in the natural surface waters was mostly similar to the behavior determined for media at pH 9.

Nanogenerators are emerging to be good candidates for converting the small-scale energies from the environment into electrical energy without need for battery. In this paper, a hybrid nanogenerator that integrates three different working mechanisms for conversion of mechanical energy into electrical energy is presented. The hybrid nanogenerator is composed of a zig-zag contact mode triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG), a sliding mode TENG and two electromagnetic generators (EMGs). Triboelectric surfaces are oppositely charged aluminium and Kapton layers for a zig-zag contact mode TENG and aluminium and PTFE layers for a sliding mode TENG. Aluminium layer is used as an electron donor, and also as an electrode. EMG unit is composed of two home-made copper coils and a neodymium magnet. All individual units are integrated into a two-piece acrylic shell. The whole device is of a compact, low-cost, and lightweight design. It has a size of 37\u00a0mm \u00d7 37\u00a0mm \u00d7 70\u00a0mm, which was optimized by modelling. Performance characterization verified the proposed hybrid nanogenerator as an efficient energy harvester. Output characteristics were tested under different loads (in a range from 10 k\u03a9 to 100 M\u03a9). The maximum output voltage and current of the hybrid nanogenerator were estimated to be about 65 V and 15.25 \u03bcA, respectively. The maximum output power was 1.13\u00a0mW at 200 \u03a9. Charging performance analysis showed that the hybrid nanogenerator significantly enhanced the voltage level and charging speed of the tested capacitors in comparison with individual units. The hybrid nanogenerator charged 1\u03bcF capacitor to 9.1 V within 60\u00a0s. Individual units could simultaneously power at least 144 light-emitting diodes (LEDs). A hybrid signal could power at least 94 LEDs connected in series and at least 50 LEDs connected in parallel. Electrical energy produced by the hybrid nanogenerator was stored in a 47 \u03bcF capacitor bank and used to efficiently power a calculator.", "keywords": ["Triboelectric nanogenerators", "Electromagnetic generators", "Hybrid nanogenerator", "Electrical engineering.

This study shows how precise knowledge of the internal micrometer-scale pore size distribution of biochar can deepen the understanding of the biochar-water interactions in soils. The micrometer-scale porosity of willow biochar was quantitatively and qualitatively characterized using X-ray tomography, 3D image analysis and Helium ion microscopy. The effect of biochar application on clay soil water retention was studied by conventional water retention curve approach. The results indicate that the internal pores of biochar, with sizes of at 50 and 10\u202f\u03bcm (equivalent pore diameter), increased soil porosity and the amount of readily plant available water. After biochar addition, changes in soil porosity were detected at pore size regimes 5\u201310 and 25\u202f\u03bcm, i.e. biochar pore sizes multiplied by factor 0.5. The detected pore size distribution of biochar does not predict directly (1:1 compatibility) the changes observed in the soil moisture characteristics. It is likely that biochar chemistry and pore morphology affect biochar-water interactions via e.g. surface roughness and contact angle.

Among environmental pollutants, polystyrene (PS) stands out as a primary constituent of environmental plastic waste, given its widespread use and high production rates owing to its durability and user-friendly properties. The detection of polystyrene microparticles (PS-MPs) in various living organisms has been well-documented, posing a serious threat due to their potential passage into the human ecosystem. In this manuscript, we aimed to study the toxicological effects of low concentrations of pristine and photoaged PS-MPs in a murine macrophage cell line. To this purpose, PS-MPs were photoaged by indoor exposure to visible light to simulate environmental weathering due to solar irradiation (PS-MPs3h). Physical characterization revealed that the irradiation treatment results in particle degradation and the possible release of nanoparticles. Monocultures of the RAW264.7\u00a0cell line were then exposed to PS-MPs and PS-MPs3h at concentrations comparable to experimental measurements from biological samples, to assess cytotoxicity, intracellular oxidative stress, primary genotoxicity, and inflammatory effects. Significant toxicity-related outcomes were observed in cells treated with both pristine PS-MPs and PS-MPs3h even at low concentrations (0,10\u00a0\u03bcg/ml and 1\u00a0\u03bcg/ml). PS-MPs3h exhibited greater adverse effects compared to PS-MPs, including reduced cell viability, increased ROS production, elevated DNA damage, and upregulation of IL-6 and NOS2 gene expression. Therefore, we can conclude that changes induced by environmental aging in the physicochemical composition of PS microplastics play a crucial role in the adverse health outcomes associated with microplastic exposure.", "keywords": ["Inflammation", "Mice", "Oxidative Stress", "RAW 264.7 Cells", "microplastics", " polystyrene", " macrophages", "Cell Survival", "Microplastics", "Macrophages", "Polystyrenes", "Animals", "Environmental Pollutants", "Reactive Oxygen Species", "DNA Damage"]}, "links": [{"href": "https://iris.cnr.it/bitstream/20.500.14243/493702/1/Aloi%20et%20al%20Chemospere%202024.pdf"}, {"href": "https://doi.org/10.1016/j.chemosphere.2024.143131"}, {"rel": "related", "href": "https://repository.soilwise-he.eu/cat/collections/metadata:main/items/Chemosphere", "name": "related record", "description": "related record", "type": "application/json"}, {"rel": "self", "type": "application/geo+json", "title": "10.1016/j.chemosphere.2024.143131", "name": "item", "description": "10.1016/j.chemosphere.2024.143131", "href": "https://repository.soilwise-he.eu/cat/collections/metadata:main/items/10.1016/j.chemosphere.2024.143131"}, {"rel": "collection", "type": "application/json", "title": "Collection", "name": "collection", "description": "Collection", "href": "https://repository.soilwise-he.eu/cat/collections/metadata:main"}], "time": {"date": "2024-01-01T00:00:00Z"}}, {"id": "10.1016/j.gca.2019.07.043", "type": "Feature", "geometry": null, "properties": {"updated": "2026-09-20T16:15:39Z", "type": "Journal Article", "created": "2019-08-01", "title": "Tracking the volatile and magmatic history of Vesta from chromium stable isotope variations in eucrite and diogenite meteorites", "description": "Abstract Although Solar System bodies exhibit large variations in their volatile element abundances, the mechanisms and conditions that lead to these variations remain ambiguous. The howardite-eucrite-diogenite (HED) meteorites that likely sample the asteroid 4 Vesta, provide evidence for extensive volatile depletion on their parent body. Isotopic variations in moderately volatile elements, such as Zn, have been used to track the origin of such volatile loss. Although not nominally volatile, Cr is useful because it has several oxidized gas species that render it volatile under the oxidizing conditions that characterize planetary accretion. As such, volatile loss of Cr has the potential to produce an isotopically light evaporation residue under an equilibrium regime. This contrasts with other moderately volatile elements that show heavy isotope enrichments in the residue following both kinetic or equilibrium fractionation. Here, we report the Cr stable isotope composition of 11 eucrites and four diogenites. The eucrites possess systematically lighter Cr isotope compositions than diogenites, which is onset by the accumulation of isotopically heavy Cr3+-rich orthopyroxene and spinel in diogenites during their magmatic evolution. We estimate for the primary eucrite melt with Mg# \u2248 50, a \u03b453Cr (53Cr/52Cr deviation relative to NIST SRM 979 in per mile) of \u22120.22\u202f\u00b1\u202f0.03\u2030 (2SD), lighter than any chondritic meteorite group by \u223c0.1\u2030. This deficit may result from either partial melting with residual Cr3+-bearing phases (e.g. chromite) that retain heavy isotopes, or from vapor loss that occurred at equilibrium with a magma ocean on Vesta. Isotopic fractionation during partial melting would necessitate implausibly high Cr contents in the Vestan mantle, and oxygen fugacities high enough to stabilize chromite in the mantle source. Isotopic fractionation during evaporation would require an oxidized vapor and a reduced residue, as predicted by thermodynamic constraints on the composition of the vapor phase above a silicate magma ocean. Therefore, this Cr isotopic deficit between Vesta and chondrites may be caused by Cr loss at relatively high oxygen fugacity in a gas phase at equilibrium with the liquid from which it evolved. Temperatures of volatile loss are estimated to be lower than 2300\u202fK, consistent with loss from a large-scale magma ocean model for formation of Vesta, which may be a common evolutionary stage in accreting planetesimals.", "keywords": ["Magma ocean", "550", "Volatile history", "500", "Volatile elements", "[SDU.ASTR] Sciences of the Universe [physics]/Astrophysics [astro-ph]", "7.

Iron is one element that shows apparent differences between the two bodies, with models for the composition of the Moon having \u22481.5 times more FeO (12\u201314 wt.%), relative to the Earth's mantle (8 wt.%). This difference is mirrored in their isotope compositions, where lunar mare basalts have \u03b457Fe (per mille deviation of the 57Fe/54Fe ratio from the IRMM-014 standard) 0.1\u20130.2\u2030 higher than peridotitic rocks representative of Earth's mantle, a feature initially attributed to loss of isotopically light Fe following a giant impact. However, whether basaltic rocks are suitable analogues for the Moon's composition is debatable in the light of their distinct source regions that reflect the extensive lithological stratification of the lunar mantle. Here, we evaluate the iron isotope composition of the bulk Moon through the study of igneous cumulate rocks of the lunar highlands Magnesium Suite (Mg Suite).

Numerical modelling of iron isotope fractionation during lunar magma ocean crystallisation shows that the Mg Suite should accurately reflect the composition of the bulk Moon, which is therefore + 0.07 \u00b1 0.02 \u2030 , indistinguishable from Earth's mantle but heavier than chondrites ( \u2212 0.01 \u00b1 0.01 \u2030 ).

Our understanding of plant-microbe interactions in soil is limited by the difficulty of observing processes at the microscopic scale throughout plants\uffe2\uff80\uff99 large volume of influence. Here, we present the development of 3D live microscopy for resolving plant-microbe interactions across the environment of an entire seedling growing in a transparent soil in tailor-made mesocosms, maintaining physical conditions for the culture of both plants and microorganisms. A tailor made dual-illumination light-sheet system acquired scattering signals from the plant whilst fluorescence signals were captured from transparent soil particles and labelled microorganisms, allowing the generation of quantitative data on samples approximately 3600 mm3in size with as good as 5 \uffce\uffbcm resolution at a rate of up to one scan every 30 minutes. The system tracked the movement ofBacillus subtilispopulations in the rhizosphere of lettuce plants in real time, revealing previously unseen patterns of activity. Motile bacteria favoured small pore spaces over the surface of soil particles, colonising the root in a pulsatile manner. Migrations appeared to be directed towards the root cap, the point \uffe2\uff80\uff9cfirst contact\uffe2\uff80\uff9d, before subsequent colonisation of mature epidermis cells. Our findings show that microscopes dedicated to live environmental studies present an invaluable tool to understand plant-microbe interactions.Tire wear particles (TWP) originating from tire abrasion on roads are a major source of microplastics to the environment. Together with associated pollutants like polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and trace metals, TWP are emitted to roadside soils in the immediate vicinity of road networks. Our study aimed at quantifying TWP number and mass concentrations and investigating particle features in low-traffic roadside soils using a novel particle-based analytical approach. On the example of fifteen Swiss cantonal roadside soils, with average daily traffic volumes of 2,290 vehicles per day\uffe2\uff88\uff92\uffe2\uff80\uff891, we sampled composite samples from distances of 1, 2, 5 and 10\uffc2\uffa0m to the roadside. TWP were extracted via density separation and wet-chemical sample purification. TWP analysis was performed using microscope images and trainable Weka segmentation image analysis. Furthermore, associated road pollutants like polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, benzop[a]pyrene and trace metals were analysed using TQ GC-MS/MS and ICP-MS. We found average concentrations of 111,000 TWP per kg soil dry weight (TWP kg\uffe2\uff88\uff92\uffe2\uff80\uff891) highest values reaching 615,000 TWP kg\uffe2\uff88\uff92\uffe2\uff80\uff891 and mean TWP masses of 52.7\uffe2\uff80\uff89\uffc2\uffb1\uffe2\uff80\uff8983.2\uffc2\uffa0mg TWP kg\uffe2\uff88\uff92\uffe2\uff80\uff891. TWP had a minimal Feret diameter of 62.8\uffe2\uff80\uff89\uffc2\uffb1\uffe2\uff80\uff8945.6\uffc2\uffa0\uffce\uffbcm on average and showed mean circularity values of 0.7\uffe2\uff80\uff89\uffc2\uffb1\uffe2\uff80\uff890.2, resulting in elliptic particle morphology. TWP concentrations and sizes decreased with increasing distance from the road. Positive relationships were found between TWP numbers and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, benzop[a]pyrene and zinc concentrations in roadside soils. However, a moderate relationship to speed limits was identified. We were able to demonstrate that even in low-traffic areas, roadside soils act as an environmental sink for high concentrations of TWPs and associated pollutants and that spatial distribution and the spread of TWP to soils strongly dependent on the distance to the road.Soils deliver the regulating ecosystem services of water infiltration and distribution, which can be controlled by macropores. Parameterizing macropore hydraulic properties is challenging due to the lack of direct measurement methods. With tension-disc infiltrometry hydraulic properties near saturation can be measured. Differentiating between hydrologically active and non-active pores, at a given water potential, indirectly assesses macropore continuity. Water flow through macropores is controlled by macropore size distribution, tortuosity, and connectivity, which can be directly derived by X-ray computed tomography (CT). Our objective was to parameterize macropore hydraulic properties based on the imaged macropore network of three horizons of an Andosol and a Gleysol. Hydraulic conductivity K unsat was derived from infiltration measurements. Soil cores from the infiltration areas were scanned with X-ray CT. K unsat was significantly higher in the Andosol than in the Gleysol at all water potentials, and decreased significantly with depth in both soils. The in situ measurements guided the definition of new macroporosity parameters from the X-ray CT reconstructions. For the Andosol, K unsat was best predicted using the imaged-limited macroporosity. A low total macroporosity, coupled with a high macropore density, indicated the abundance of smaller macropores, leading to homogeneous matrix flux. Imaged macropores were not well connected. In contrast, the Gleysol had a bi-modal macropore system with few very large, but well-connected macropores. K unsat was best predicted using the imaged macroporosity consisting only of macropores with diameters between 0.75 and 3 mm. Our research demonstrates that linking traditional soil physical measurements with soil-visualization techniques has a huge potential to improve parameterizing macropore hydraulic properties. The relevance of the relationships found in this study for larger scales and other soil types still needs to be tested, for example by a multi-scale investigation including a much wider range of different soils.

Zinc is an especially useful MVE because of its generally elevated abundances in planetary basalts, relative to other MVE, and limited evidence for mass-dependent isotopic fractionation under high-temperature igneous processes. Compared with terrestrial basalts, which have \u03b4 66 Zn values (per mille deviation of the 66 Zn/ 64 Zn ratio from the JMC-Lyon standard) similar to some chondrite meteorites (\u223c+0.3\u2030), lunar mare basalts yield a mean \u03b4 66 Zn value of +1.4\u00a0\u00b1\u00a00.5\u2030 (2\u00a0st. dev.). Furthermore, mare basalts have average Zn concentrations \u223c50 times lower than in typical terrestrial basaltic rocks. Late-stage lunar magmatic products, including ferroan anorthosite, Mg- and Alkali-suite rocks have even higher \u03b4 66 Zn values (+3 to +6\u2030). Differences in Zn abundance and isotopic compositions between lunar and terrestrial rocks have previously been interpreted to reflect evaporative loss of Zn, either during the Earth\u2013Moon forming Giant Impact, or in a lunar magma ocean (LMO) phase. To explore the mechanisms and processes under which volatile element loss may have occurred during a LMO phase, we developed models of Zn isotopic fractionation that are generally applicable to planetary magma oceans. Our objective was to identify conditions that would yield a \u03b4 66 Zn signature of \u223c+1.4\u2030 within the lunar mantle. For the sake of simplicity, we neglect possible Zn isotopic fractionation during the Giant Impact, and assumed a starting composition equal to the composition of the present-day terrestrial mantle, assuming both the Earth and Moon had zinc \u2018consanguinity\u2019 following their formation. We developed two models: the first simulates evaporative fractionation of Zn only prior to LMO mixing and crystallization; the second simulates continued evaporative fractionation of Zn that persists until \u223c75% LMO crystallization. The first model yields a relatively homogenous bulk solid LMO \u03b4 66 Zn value, while the second results in a stratification of \u03b4 66 Zn values within the LMO sequence. Loss and/or isolation mechanisms for volatiles are critical to these models; hydrodynamic escape was not a dominant process, but loss of a nascent lunar atmosphere or separation of condensates into a proto-lunar crust are possible mechanisms by which volatiles could be separated from the lunar interior. The results do not preclude models that suggest a lunar volatile depletion episode related to the Giant Impact. Conversely, LMO models for volatile loss do not require loss of volatiles prior to lunar formation. Outgassing during planetary magma ocean phases likely played a profound role in setting the volatile inventories of planets, particularly for low mass bodies that experienced the greatest volatile loss. In turn, our results suggest that the initial compositions of planets that accreted from smaller, highly differentiated planetesimals were likely to be severely volatile depleted.", "keywords": ["[SDU] Sciences of the Universe [physics]", "Zinc", "Magma ocean", "Isotopes", "Volatile depletion", "13.

Magnetic susceptibility, a proxy for soil stability in this region, suggests that grazing increases soil erosion leading to an increase in the area of nutrient-depleted bare ground. Overall, these results, combined with previous studies in the region, suggest that livestock grazing affects both plant cover and soil fertility with potential long-term implications for the sustainability of grazing operations in this semi-arid landscape.", "keywords": ["2.
