Effects of Agricultural Practices on Biodiversity: A Review
Journal of Sustainable Agriculture and Environment, Volume 5, Issue 1, March 2026.ABSTRACT The loss of biodiversity has become a major concern in the 21st century. The current agricultural model is one of the main drivers of biodiversity loss; however, agriculture can also help maintain and even promote biodiversity. Therefore, the understanding of the consequences of agricultural practices on the different compartments of ...

Biosolids affect the growth, nitrogen accumulation and nitrogen leaching of barley
Plant, Soil and Environment, 2018 Biosolids are organic fertilisers derived from treated and stabilised sewage sludge that increase soil fertility and supply nitrogen to crops over a long period, but can also increase the risk of nitrogen (N) leaching.

Environmental Toxicology, Volume 41, Issue 3, Page 176-189, March 2026.ABSTRACT Butylparaben (BuP) recurrently contaminates soils worldwide, mainly by incorporating sewage sludge into cultivated areas, using wastewater in irrigation, and leaching contaminated soils. However, there are few studies on the ecotoxicological effects of this paraben on edaphic organisms.

European Journal of Soil Science, Volume 77, Issue 2, March–April 2026.ABSTRACT Mediterranean agroecosystems are vulnerable to extreme heat‐stress, especially because of their low organic matter content. Organic amendments may enhance soil nutrient content and microbial resilience to heatwaves, whose frequency is increasing in Mediterranean regions. However, their effectiveness under these conditions is still unclear.
