Old fields are spreading in the world because of agriculture abandonment, and they show a persistence of exotic plant species with little recovery towards the original vegetation composition. Soil biota may also differ b...

The earthen final covers based on the water storage and release principle have a promising application in the landfills in arid and semi-arid areas. Most of the previous studies concentrate on the rainwater infiltration ...

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...

The objective of the present work was to establish optimal biological and physicochemical parameters in order to remove simultaneously lindane and Cr(VI) at high and/or low pollutants concentrations from the soil by an a...

Centrifugal model tests are carried out to simulate the construction and operation of the dike on a soft soil foundation for the purpose of taxiway construction on the seashore. The vertical strip drains are adopted for ...

Methane emissions and chemical pollutants often co-occur in natural and engineered environments, contributing to ecosystem degradation. Microorganisms play key roles in regulating these processes through methane oxidatio...

Approximately 1 billion ha of the global land surface is currently salt-affected, representing about 7% of the earth's land surface. Whereas most of it results from natural geochemical processes, an estimated 30% of irri...

Na região sudoeste da Amazônia brasileira, foi realizado um estudo detalhado da cobertura pedológica em uma toposseqüência representativa da paisagem regional, caracterizada por baixos platôs com depressões topogr...

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...

Cadmium poses severe threats to ecosystems and human health due to its high toxicity and bioaccumulative nature. The global regulatory limits for Cd are often low at 0.1-0.6 mg kg−1, which is 1 to 2 orders of magnitude...

137Cs can be an important environmental contaminant due to fallout from nuclear reactor accidents and atomic weapons testing. Its contribution to the air gamma dose rate at 1 m height above contaminated ground depends on...

Abstract Man-made synthetic/manufactured nano-objects (MNOs) are increasingly used in almost every scientific sector, including pharmaceutical, agricultural, food, and drug industries worldwide. Rapid advances in nanotec...

Abstract Microorganisms play key roles in nutrient cycling and soil remediation in saline-alkaline ecosystems. However, how their assembly rules and interaction networks change during natural succession remains unclear. ...

Understanding how socioeconomic development modulates trait–environment linkages in the Anthropocene, particularly its mechanistic role in reshaping the relative importance of climate versus soil drivers, remains poorl...

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...

Aims: Plants interact by modifying soil conditions in plant-soil feedback processes. Foliar endophytes of grasses exert multiple effects on host rhizosphere with potential consequences on plant-soil feedback. Here, we hy...

Agricultural intensification simplified environments, reduced their diversity, and hindered their ecosystem processes. Permanently vegetated areas (uncultivated margins) embedded in the cultivated matrix play a critical ...

Abstract Climate warming advances the start of the growing season and enhances carbon uptake on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, primarily through the direct effects of air temperature and precipitation. However, the role of s...

Abstract Hydrothermal carbonization (HTC) transforms wet or dry biomass into hydrochar, generating a nutrient-rich process water, hereafter termed HTC-PW, which is often overlooked as waste. This review synthesizes curre...

In the Pampas region of Argentina agriculture is dominated by intensive no-till (NT) soybean cropping which produce negative consequences on soil quality. A group of farmers started to use the Good Agricultural Practices...

This research focuses on developing a neural network model in the Python programming language to solve the technological problem of forecasting potato yields with limited agroclimatic data. The developed program is consi...

Propiedades superficiales de los suelos como textura y materia orgánica, juegan un rol muy importante en procesos vinculados a la dinámica hídrica y a la degradación de las tierras. Los sistemas conservacionistas de ...
