ABSTRACT Adopting conservationist soil use and management practices, such as the no-tillage system and cover crops associated with organic agriculture, can improve the quality of fragile soils. This study aimed to evalua...

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...

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...

Background and Objectives: This study investigates the effects of land management practices and vegetation cover on soil erosion rates in the Mashhad Plain, Northeast Iran. Methods: By employing the Universal Soil Loss...

Understanding soil properties is fundamental to sustaining the ecological integrity of protected forest ecosystems. This study examined the influence of two management categories; Strict Nature Reserve (SN) and Natural P...

IntroductionEffective cation exchange capacity (ECEC) is a key indicator of soil fertility and sustainable soil management assessment in coffee-growing systems.MethodsThis study aimed to identify the principal edaphic an...

Brassica oilseeds are important protein crops for Nordic agriculture. Oilseed production is challenged by multiple insect pests, most importantly the pollen beetle (Brassicogethes aeneus). Concerns about pyrethroid resis...

The turnover rate of labile organic fractions varies continuously due to different soil uses and managements, weather conditions and sampling time. The aim of this study was to quantify the effect of different agricultur...

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...

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...

The study was carried out during the autumn season of 2024, with the aim of evaluating the effect of the lengths of dripping tapes and the distance between them on some physical properties of soil and the growth and yiel...

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 ...

The expanding deployment of biodegradable mulch films in global agriculture aims to mitigate persistent plastic pollution, yet the fate of resulting biodegradable microplastics (BMPs) in soil ecosystems remains poorly ch...

Abstract The necessity for sustainable soil management arose due to soil degradation caused by intense agricultural soil cultivation, which employs chemical fertilizers to increase production. Soil degradation can be rem...

A bacia do Tietê/Jacaré é uma das 22 Unidades de Gestão de Recursos Hídricos (Ugrhis) do Estado de São Paulo. Um estudo desenvolvido de 2005 a 2007 detalhou as principais características dessa bacia hidrográfica,...

Abstract Soil acidity is a critical constraint limiting crop productivity and nutrient availability in upland cropping systems. Acidic soils impede plant growth by reducing nutrient solubility and disrupting key soil pro...

Based on 5 years of integrated pedological work in Kamuli District, this study examines how farmers in three villages understand and classify soils. The farmers' knowledge was documented through a participatory approach ...

Abstract Soil microbes are essential for ecosystem functioning, affecting soil health and fertility. The microbial diversity present in soil is influenced by diverse land-use practices and environmental conditions; howev...

Abstract Background Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) comprise a group of persistent carcinogenic pollutants whose transfer from air to soil via the atmospheric deposition represents a major chronic exposure pathwa...

This study establishes a probabilistic risk assessment framework for polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in Chinese soils by integrating bioaccessibility data and regional concentration variability. This approach pro...

Drought–flood abrupt alternation (DFAA) events, characterized by rapid transitions between drought and flood conditions, pose severe challenges to agricultural production, water resource management, and infrastructure ...

Abstract Potassium (K) deficiency has emerged as a critical constraint for sustainable apple production in highland regions, yet spatial variability of soil K status and site-specific fertilization responses remain poorl...

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 ...

Ecological security (ES) is a crucial indicator of regional ecosystem health and integrity, serving as a fundamental basis for formulating sustainable ecological management strategies, particularly in ecologically fragil...
