We evaluated the effects of grazing on C and N belowground pools by comparing 15 grazing-exclosure pairs across the Río de la Plata grasslands of Uruguay and Argentina. We measured C and N pools of belowground biomass, ...

Soil is a living, finite resource that shapes chemical fate, microbial ecology, nutrient supply, and climate regulation, yet environmental science and policy often treat it as an inert substrate. Approximately one-third ...

Protecting soils from degradation is a significant area of research in international environmental law. Almost all states face soil degradation problems and are striving to solve them at a national level. The quality of ...

Abstract This study presents a comprehensive framework for selecting optimal ground motion intensity measures (IMs) and developing seismic fragility curves for horseshoe tunnels. To do so, a total of 20 candidate IMs wer...

The revised density method is improved based on analysis of interactions between ground soil, fill and piles in flow sliding. The density of fill outside the center of sliding surface needn’t be revised. The density of...

In the available researches on the cyclic resistance ratio (CRR) of saturated sand-gravel mixtures, the factors such as gravel content, sample preparation method, relative density and consolidation stress ratio have been...

Microplastic (MP) contamination in agricultural soils is an emerging environmental hazard with poorly understood impacts on crops. Here, we investigated concentration-dependent effects of polyethylene MPs on tomato (Sola...

The large-scale use of the herbicide glyphosate leads to growing ecotoxicological and human health concerns. Microbe-assisted phytoremediation arises as a good option to remove, contain, or degrade glyphosate from soils ...

Abstract Land use change and soil depth are key determinants of soil fertility in tropical highland agroecosystems; however, their interactive effects remain insufficiently quantified in the Ethiopian highlands. This stu...

Lawns and wooded areas dominate urban green spaces (UGSs) and are known to store substantial amounts of carbon in soils, yet the role of lawn trees in litter decomposition dynamics remains poorly understood. This study a...

Abstract Agricultural management is critical in shaping soil carbon (C) stocks, pools and fluxes. The soil priming effect (PE) is known as a key component of the global C cycle that reflects alterations in soil organic c...

The accumulation of polyethylene (PE) mulch films in agricultural soils represents a persistent environmental challenge. This study aimed to construct and evaluate efficient microbial consortia for PE biodegradation and ...

The soft soils can meet the bearing needs of the constructions and infrastructures through the appropriate artificial treatment, and the carbonated MgO-mixing pile method is an innovative foundation treatment technology,...

ABSTRACT Amazonian reforestation programs emphasize the use of species native to the region. However, reforestation using native species requires the production of high-quality seedlings. The present study aimed to evalu...

We analysed the main plant strategies to conserve nitrogen in the Patagonian Monte. We hypothesized that the two main plant functional groups (xerophytic evergreen shrubs and mesophytic perennial grasses) display differe...

Species distribution modeling has relevant implications for the studies of biodiversity, decision making about conservation and knowledge about ecological requirements of the species. The aim of this study was to evaluat...

Studies of the palaeobiology of titanosaur eggs are significantly more common than studies of titanosaur-egg-bearing strata. Nevertheless, the latter provide significant insight into palaeoenvironmental conditions associ...

The mechanistic understanding of toxic metals reactive transport in complex porous media is essential for pollution prediction and remediation in soil-groundwater systems. This study aims to experimentally and numericall...

Correlation showed that Fv′/Fm′ (r = 0.55∗) and E (r = 0.49∗) positively correlated with cane yield at harvest. Several agronomic traits correlated with cane yield, including tiller number at 4 MAT (r =...

Currently, in Russia and other countries, the areas under Sarepta mustard (Brassica juncea (L.) Czern.) are increasing, which is associated with its multi-purpose use, as well as good adaptation to adverse environmental ...

Grazing reduces grass cover and promotes the dominance of shrubs with high concentration of soluble phenols, which may leach from their canopies and reach neighboring plants and soils. Despite their potential allelopathi...

Soil fertility is a critical factor influencing rice productivity, and understanding nutrient interactions is essential for effective management in agriculture. This study aimed to evaluate the fertility status and nutri...

Granite residual soil (GRS) slopes are widely distributed in the humid and rainy regions around the world. Due to their unique mineral and pore composition, these soils exhibit a loose structure and are prone to softenin...

A pseudo-three-dimensional analysis method on static p-y curves of laterally loaded piles in soft clay is conducted. This method is based on the two-dimensional elastic fictitious loading upper bound limit analysis appro...
