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 ...

A comprehensive review on the sources, environmental behavior, and degradation of alkylphenol ethoxylates and their metabolites in surface water and soils

Journal of Environmental Quality, EarlyView.
Abstract Alkylphenol ethoxylates (APEOs) and their metabolites, widely used in agricultural, industrial, and household products, are known endocrine disruptors. Since the 1980s, many countries have implemented restrictions on their production and use, necessitating an evaluation of these regulations by reviewing their source and environmental behavior ...

Soil carbon storage or sustainable conservation agriculture practices—Which should be our goal?

Journal of Environmental Quality, EarlyView.
Abstract Practices such as no‐tillage, cover crops, or diversification of crop rotation are thought to be capable of addressing climate change challenges while ensuring food security. Public and private sectors at national and international levels are currently incentivizing farmers to adopt these practices to increase soil carbon (C) levels, thus ...

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 ...
