Nanomaterials in soil science for agricultural productivity and environmental sustainability
Discover EnvironmentAbstract Nanomaterials (NMs) are a new frontier in soil research with far-reaching implications for agriculture and environmental management. The current state of NMs in soil science investigates how nanoscale materials and processes might improve soil health, and agricultural production, and reduce environmental impact.

Exolaccase-boosted humification for agricultural applications
iScience, 2022 Summary: Globally, phenolic contaminants have posed a considerable threat to agro-ecosystems. Exolaccase-boosted humification may be an admirable strategy for phenolic detoxification by creating multifunctional humic-like products (H-LPs).

The soil microbiome: An essential, but neglected, component of regenerative agroecosystems
iScience, 2023 Summary: Regenerative agriculture (RA) is gaining traction globally as an approach for meeting growing food demands while avoiding, or even remediating, the detrimental environmental consequences associated with conventional farming. Momentum is building

Integrating soil science into agricultural production frontiers [PDF]
Environment and Development Economics, 2013 AbstractThis paper integrates soil science variables into an economic analysis of agricultural output among small-scale farmers in Kenya's highlands. The integration is valuable because farmers’ choice of inputs depends on both the status of the soil and socioeconomic conditions.

Plant–Soil Feedback: Bridging Natural and Agricultural Sciences [PDF]
Trends in Ecology & Evolution, 2018 In agricultural and natural systems researchers have demonstrated large effects of plant–soil feedback (PSF) on plant growth. However, the concepts and approaches used in these two types of systems have developed, for the most part, independently.
