A bold yet increasingly urgent prediction is emerging: future farmlands may gradually shift from “purely natural systems” to “semi-engineered systems,” where key climate variables are precisely regulated while preserving natural light and soil ecosystem functions. www.maxapress.com/article/doi/...
Manipulating natural heatwaves in AmbControl chambers: bridging controlled and field conditions for warming studies in plant–soil systems
<p>Quantifying the impact of natural heatwaves on crop productivity requires direct comparison with a no-heatwave control. Yet conventional growth chambers, which rely on artificial lighting and stepw...

🧵 Thallium (Tl) is most mobile during redox fluctuations—not in fully oxic or anoxic conditions.
Cycling environments (wetlands, soils) release Tl as Tl⁺, which mimics K⁺ and enters food chains.
Stable ≠ safe. Dynamic = danger. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Hotspots and dynamics of dissolved thallium species at oxic-anoxic interfaces in flooded soils
Thallium (Tl) is highly toxic, predominantly existing in its monovalent Tl(I) state in the environment. However, the redox “niche” of both dissolved t…
