Devastating Rio Doce mining disaster sends shockwaves through earthworm populations

Journal of Environmental Quality, EarlyView.
Abstract The Fundão dam breach is considered one of the most severe environmental mining disasters globally, causing widespread changes to the soils of the Rio Doce watershed, one of Brazil's most important catchments. Given the ecological importance of earthworms to soil structure and dynamics, we investigated the richness, abundance, and biomass of ...

Can conservation drainage practices contribute to climate change mitigation?

Journal of Environmental Quality, EarlyView.
Abstract Conservation drainage practices can mitigate water quality impacts of subsurface drainage, but their potential for climate change mitigation remains poorly understood. We summarized processes by which tile‐drained croplands impact climate and assessed potential of conservation drainage practices to alter emissions of the greenhouse gases ...

Seasonal variability of nitrate concentrations below the root zone: A monthly predictive modeling approach

Journal of Environmental Quality, EarlyView.
Abstract Nitrogen Leaching Estimation System version 5 (NLES5) is an empirical model extensively used for estimating annual nitrate leaching from the root zone. The model is based on leaching data obtained by multiplying the measured nitrate concentration below the root zone depth by the percolation calculated using a hydrological model, which together

Defining stream riparian zones across multidimensional environmental gradients

Journal of Environmental Quality, EarlyView.
Abstract Riparian zones are a critical terrestrial‐aquatic ecotone. They play important roles in ecosystems including (1) harboring biodiversity, (2) influencing light and carbon fluxes to aquatic food webs, (3) maintaining water quality and streamflow, (4) enhancing aquatic habitat, (5) influencing greenhouse gas production, and (6) sequestering ...

Satellite assessment of winter cover crop and conservation tillage outcomes to support adaptive management in working landscapes

Journal of Environmental Quality, EarlyView.
Abstract The use of winter cover crops and conservation tillage are agricultural practices promoted to reduce nutrient and sediment loss from cropland, improve soil health, increase infiltration, and support farm nutrient cycling and ecosystem services. However, environmental performance of these practices is variable in the working farm landscape. The

Microplastics in Agricultural Soil: Fate, Impacts, and Bioremediation by Earthworms

Journal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science, EarlyView.
Microplastics enter the soil through various means, including the degradation of plastic film mulch, waste from cosmetics industries and municipalities, and the use of bioplastic seed coatings. These microplastics disrupt soil structure, microbial activity, enzyme function, and plant growth.

A First Quantitative Assessment of Soil Health at European Scale Considering Soil Genesis

Journal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Soil health degradation is a major threat to European food security, biodiversity, and climate stability. While scientists have debated how to define soil health during recent decades, a quantifiable framework for monitoring, management, and policy remains lacking.
