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.

Land Application of Biosolids in the USA: A Review

Applied and Environmental Soil Science, 2012
Land application of biosolids has proven a cost-effective method of waste disposal by beneficially recycling organic matter and nutrients and improving soil quality; however, it may also pose potential threat to the environment and human health.

PFAS Removal During Pyrolysis of Biosolids Is Affected by Initial PFAS Concentration and Pyrolysis Efficiency

Water Environment Research, Volume 98, Issue 4, April 2026.
Pyrolysis of industrially impacted biosolids at 800°C removed PFAS to below detection limits in biochar but PFOS still remained in biochar produced at 500°C. ABSTRACT Current and pending biosolids regulations related to per‐ and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) have triggered the industry to consider emerging biosolids treatment processes.

Influence of Organic and Inorganic Amendments on Aggregate Development in a Sodic Dispersive Soil

Soil Use and Management, Volume 42, Issue 2, April‐June 2026.
ABSTRACT Improvement of soil structure is critical for efficient nutrient and water transport to plants, particularly in sodic, dispersive soils. In addition to inorganic amendments such as gypsum, organic amendments (OAs) can enhance soil aggregation and stability through biochemical processes, but it is unclear how OAs composition [carbon (C) content,

Electrochemically recovered struvite matches conventional fertilizers in soil nutrient supply

Agrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 9, Issue 1, March 2026.
Abstract Phosphorus (P) is an essential macronutrient for agriculture, yet global reliance on finite phosphorite reserves raises concerns about long‐term food and nutrient security. Struvite (MgNH4PO4·6H2O), a mineral recovered from municipal wastewater, represents a sustainable and circular source of P, but uncertainty remains regarding its nutrient ...

Integrated Evaluation of Contaminant Profiles, Detection Techniques, and Management Strategies for Tannery Sludge

Asia-Pacific Journal of Chemical Engineering, Volume 21, Issue 2, March/April 2026.
ABSTRACT This review article critically examines the environmental and health hazards of tannery sludge (TS), a complex by‐product of the leather tanning industry. TS is characterized by a diverse array of contaminants, including heavy metals like chromium, organic pollutants such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), volatile organic compounds ...

Bridging single‐species research and mixture reality: Emerging contaminants fate and transport in vadose zones

Journal of Environmental Quality, Volume 55, Issue 2, March/April 2026.
Abstract Vadose zones serve as interfaces controlling contaminant transport from the land surface to underlying aquifers. While traditional research has largely focused on individual contaminant species, real‐world contamination often involves complex mixtures containing dozens to thousands of chemical species.
