Details of Earth's shallow subsurface—a key component of the critical zone (CZ)—are
largely obscured because making direct observations with sufficient density to capture …

The increasing world population and expected climate scenarios impel the agricultural
sector towards a more efficient use of water. The scientific community is responding to that …

Electricity harvest from ubiquitous water has been endeavored, using nanogenerators
based on carbon nanomaterials, to acquire renewable and clean energy and cope with …

Studying the forest subsurface is a challenge because of its heterogeneous nature and
difficult access. Traditional approaches used by ecologists to characterize the subsurface …

In recent years, hydrovoltaic electricity generators (HEGs) have garnered increasing interest
and attention due to their unparalleled advantages. They typically operate through direct …

Laboratory experiments are performed to understand the controlling parameters of the
electrical field associated with the seepage of water through a porous material. We use …

The use of agrochemicals is increasingly recognized as interfering with pollination services
due to its detrimental effects on pollinators. Compared to the relatively well-studied chemical …

This paper presents a time-lapse application of electrical methods (electrical resistivity
tomography, ERT; and mise-à-la-masse, MALM) for monitoring plant roots and their activity …

Living organisms have evolved complex signaling networks to drive appropriate
physiological processes in response to changing environmental conditions. Amongst them …

The investigation of plant roots is inherently difficult and often neglected. Being out of sight,
roots are often out of mind. Nevertheless, roots play a key role in the exchange of mass and …
