A field study on using soybean waste-derived superabsorbent hydrogel to enhance growth of vegetables by Zhu, Jingling, Suhaimi, Fadhlina, Lim, Jing Ying, Gao, Zhengyang, Swarup, Sanjay, Loh, Chiang Shiong, Li, Jun, Ong, Choon Nam, Tan, Wee Kee

“…We incorporated OP into soil and assessed the growth performance of leafy vegetables. We observed that vegetables grown with 0.2% (w/v) OP in soil with a watering frequency of 7 times per week resulted in >60 % and 35 % yield increase for the common Asian leafy vegetables, choy sum (CS) and pak choi (PC), respectively, as compared to without hydrogel supplementation. …”

Impacts of snow-farming on alpine soil and vegetation: a case study from the Swiss Alps by Buttler, Alexandre, Teuscher, Roland, Deschamps, Nicolas, Gavazov, Konstantin, Bragazza, Luca, Mariotte, Pierre, Schlaepfer, Rodolphe, Jassey, Vincent E. J., Freund, Lucas, Cuartero, Jessica, Quezada, Juan Carlos, Frey, Beat

“…In plots with >1.5 years of compressed snow pile, plant mortality was high, recovery of vegetation was very slow, and few plant species recolonized the bare surface. …”

The effects of flexible vegetation on forces with a Keulegan-Carpenter number in relation to structures due to long waves by Lakshmanan, Noarayanan, Kantharaj, Murali, Sundar, Vallam

“…The study focused on the measurement of forces resulting from cnoidal waves on a model building mounted over a slope in the presence and absence of vegetation. The vegetative parameters, along with the width of the green belt, its position from the reference line, the diameter of the individual stems as well as the spacing between them, and their rigidity are varied so as to obtain a holistic view of the wave-vegetation interaction problem. …”

A novel biochar-augmented enzymatic process for conversion of food waste to biofertilizers: planting trial with leafy vegetable by Jiang, Yishuai, Zhang, Xiaoyuan, An, Lei, Liu, Yu

“…Field plantation results showed that the Pak Choi grown on food waste-derived biofertilizers was comparable with that on commercial ones, in terms of the vegetable productivity and nutrient contents. It was further revealed that the application of food waste-derived biofertilizers did not change soil chemical properties but enriched microbial diversity. …”
