Field‐based evaluation of glass cullet as a supplementary sediment source for coastal restoration
There is an ever‐increasing demand for sand to support projects like beach nourishment and dune restoration, but dredging and mining sand causes environmental damage. Demonstrating the environmental and ecological compatibility of crushed and ground glass known as cullet to support coastal restoration projects could simultaneously divert waste from ...

A review of topsoil governance for mining and agriculture in South Africa and abroad
Topsoil is taken for granted as the dirt under our feet. Yet, humanity hinges on 15 cm of topsoil. As with potable water, topsoil is a natural resource we depend on daily. This review examines the chronological development of topsoil conservation through the governance of legal and other instruments since 1701. It highlights how topsoil is defined, its

Abstract Introduction Forest restoration can be achieved by promoting natural regeneration or planting tree seedlings, but the relative benefits of these widely used approaches are questioned. Soil communities may influence restoration outcomes but are usually ignored by monitoring schemes.

Root trait dynamics of historical canola varieties under low and high nitrogen supply
Abstract Nitrogen fertilizer is a major input cost in crop production, making it crucial to enhance nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) to reduce fertilizer dependence without compromising yields. Root system architecture (RSA) is a key determinant of nutrient acquisition, particularly under nutrient‐limited conditions.
