A Carboxymethyl Cellulose Hydrogel Switch Enabling pH-Responsive Fertilizer

Abstract The Green Revolution boosted crop yields with synthetic fertilizers, but their high solubility causes environmental pollution and poor synchronization with crop nutrient demands. To address this problem, we developed green intelligent fertilizers (GIF) using a pH-respons...

Observational Evidence for Accelerated Warming and Salinification Propagating Into the Deep Mediterranean

Abstract Acceleration, rather than a gradual linear response, is emerging as a defining feature of ocean change in the Anthropocene. Surface‐forced warming propagates into the deep ocean over decades to centuries, but semi‐enclosed basins such as the Mediterranean Sea may respond...

Assessing Meteo-HySEA performance for Adriatic meteotsunami events

Abstract Meteotsunamis are anomalous sea-level oscillations driven by atmospheric disturbances, which can lead to hazardous coastal flooding through resonance with local bathymetry and harbor geometries. Accurately reproducing both atmospheric forcing and harbor resonance is thus...
