The design of new remediation strategies and materials for treating saline–alkaline soils is
of fundamental and practical importantance for many applications. Conventional soil …

The long-standing crisis of soil salinization and alkalization poses a significant challenge to
global agricultural development. High soil salinity-alkalinity, water dispersion, and nutrient …

Disclosed are soil additives comprised of self-situating, stimuli-responsive polymer
compositions and methods of their use. In one embodiment, the polymer composition or …

We have developed a novel method to synthesize a hyper-branched biomimetic hydrogel
network across a soil matrix to improve the mechanical strength of the loose soil and …

Soil conditioners are products of natural or synthetic origin that aim to improve the physical–
chemical properties of poor or degraded soils. Recently, geomimicry has emerged as a …

With an increasing population, world agriculture is facing many challenges, such as climate
change, urbanization, the use of natural resources in a sustainable manner, runoff losses …

In this article we describe the use of novel aqueous polymer formulations for stabilization of
sand and soil against wind erosion and retention of water in polymer-treated sand/soil …

In this paper, an eco-friendly versatile superabsorbent material was designed for soil
improvement, and a synchronous chemical loading strategy was proposed. In this strategy …

Aims 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 …

Superabsorbent polymers (SAPs) are used as a soil amendment for retaining water, but
suitable methods for the application of SAPs have not yet been developed. Here, we …
