The Role of Soil Microorganisms in Microplastic Biodegradation: Mechanisms, Carbon Preferences, and Ecological Impacts. [PDF]

Environ Microbiol Rep
This work explores the complex relationship between soil carbon availability and microplastic biodegradation, highlighting competition and symbiosis among microorganisms, the repurposing of microplastic‐derived polymers, and the impact of soil organic carbon on microbial substrate preferences and carbon use efficiency variability.

The Effects of Burning Intensity on the Soil C-Related Properties and Mineralogy of Two Contrasting Forest Soils from Chilean National Parks

Fire
Forest fires alter multiple soil properties, from those related to the carbon cycle to mineralogy; however, the responses of various soils to thermal impact remain unclear.

Adsorption–Desorption Behaviour of Imidacloprid, Thiamethoxam, and Clothianidin in Different Agricultural Soils

Agriculture
This study evaluated the adsorption and desorption of imidacloprid (IMI), thiamethoxam (THM) and clothianidin (CLO) in an andisol (Freire soil) and an inceptisol (Chufquén soil) from southern Chile with different organic matter and clay contents.

Evaluating the potential for snowmelt phosphorus losses from perennial forage crops. [PDF]

J Environ Qual
Abstract In cold regions, there is concern that losses of P with snowmelt runoff following freeze and thaw of vegetation may be greater from perennial forages relative to annual crops. We evaluate the drivers of P losses with snowmelt runoff over a network of field‐scale small watersheds in Manitoba, Canada, following annual crops (59 site‐years ...

Five decades of hand‐feel soil texture estimation: Accuracy, challenges, and improvements

Soil Science Society of America Journal, Volume 90, Issue 3, May/June 2026.
Abstract Soil texture refers to the proportion of fine soil particles with diameters less than 2 mm, classified into particle size categories that define the soil texture class. Hand‐feel estimation in the field is widely used by soil scientists and technicians during pedological surveys to characterize soil horizons.

Compost legacy effects in active roadside restoration: Medium‐term shifts in plant succession

Ecological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 7, Issue 2, April–June 2026.
Roadside restoration experiment established on volcanic tephra following road construction in Andean Patagonia. A single application of municipal (MC) or biosolids (BC) compost rapidly increased plant cover compared with untreated controls (C) but led to distinct, exotic‐dominated plant communities over 6 years.

Soil organic matter and F1 hybrid cultivar influence Coffea arabica yields in south‐central Guatemala

Agronomy Journal, Volume 118, Issue 2, March/April 2026.
Abstract Smallholders produce 60% of global coffee (Coffea arabica) supply but lack recommendations on nutrient management. We tested hypothesized N‐ and K‐driven yield gaps using on‐farm omission trials established across 21 fields in Guatemala. The effects of a single and combined application of N (285 kg ha−1) and K (350 kg ha−1) were evaluated for ...
