Global environmental degradation resulting from unsustainable human activities has become a critical development challenge in the 21st century. The Didessa watershed in southwestern Ethiopia, a region dominated by subsis...

Soil erosion is a major environmental concern that affects land productivity and water quality. Although soil erosion is a serious global environmental challenge, understanding its potential influence in the Bardha Water...

Soil erosion is a major problem, which has had adverse effects on the productivity of agriculture, the quality of water, and the sustainability of land in the long term, especially in semi-arid states of southern India. ...

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 ...

Abstract The process of industrialization of arid areas can rapidly surpass the pace of environmental monitoring, which leaves a gap in the knowledge of long-term processes of soil degradation. Although conventional moni...

Soil loss poses a serious threat to agricultural productivity and causes environmental degradation, particularly in Ethiopia. It depletes soil fertility, resulting in reduced crop productivity and accelerated sedimentati...

This study quantified how soil and water conservation (SWC) practices, slope position, and soil depth influence labile and recalcitrant carbon (LC, RC) and nitrogen (LN, RN) fractions in the Tigray highlands of northern ...

Mining wastes keep soil metal contents above toxicity thresholds many years after abandonment. The physical and chemical infertility of mining tailings makes them prone to high rates of erosion, posing an environmental t...

Societal and political voices call for stronger environmental protection, biodiversity conservation, and reduced pesticide use. Integrating digital farming technologies into farming systems like strip intercropping offer...

In recent decades, escalating climate change, continuous population growth, rapid urbanization, and extensive agricultural development have placed increasing pressure on global ecosystems. Particularly in China, intensiv...

Global coffee demand rises by about 2.3% annually, intensifying environmental, health and social externalities, particularly in producing countries. There is limited understanding of the magnitude of these externalities ...

This study aimed to investigate onion (Allium cepa L.) production practices in the Fez–Meknes region of Northern Morocco and explore the potential for adopting an agroecological model. Field visits and interviews were ...

Over a century of industrial growth has led to several environmental issues that now require urgent attention, including soil erosion, deforestation, environmental pollution and water pollution, global warming, and the d...

Assessing land degradation is essential for identifying susceptible regions and planning sustainable landscape management approaches. This research employed a combination of geographic information system (GIS) and multic...

Family farming systems are widespread in tropical cocoa production, supporting rural livelihoods while providing ecosystem services such as carbon storage and soil protection. However, farm structure and crop diversity a...

Paleosols formed by the burial of topsoil during landscape evolution can sequester substantial amounts of soil organic carbon (SOC) over millennia due to protection from surface disturbances. We investigated the moisture...

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 ...

Phytoremediation of areas polluted by heavy metals and toxic metalloids is challenging, particularly in arid regions where limited water availability compromises plant establishment. This study shows that several Atriple...
