Soil microbial communities in restored and unrestored coastal dune ecosystems in California [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
Most restoration projects involving invasive plant eradication tend to focus on plant removal with little consideration given to how these invasives change soil microbial communities.

Clay Mineral–Hydrophobic Organic Compound Interactions in Miniaturized Adsorption Experiments: Exemplary Studies With Bentonites and Hexachlorobenzene

open access: yesJournal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science, EarlyView.
Clay mineral–hydrophobic organic compound interactions were studied with hexachlorobenzene and 21 bentonites. Adsorption strength varies depending on bentonite properties. For highly adsorptive bentonites, adsorption is comparable with adsorption to organic matter.

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

open access: yesJournal 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.

Sellafield-derived anthropogenic C-14 in the marine intertidal environment of the NE Irish Sea [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
The intertidal biota from Parton beach, close to the Sellafield nuclear fuel reprocessing plant, were all found to be enriched in radiocarbon relative to ambient background.

monitoring organotins in marine biota

open access: yes, 2010
These guidelines provide best practices for the measurement of organotin compounds in biota for monitoring programmes. Target compounds include tributyltin (TBT), dibutyltin (DBT), and monobutyltin (MBT) as well as triphenyltin (TPhT), diphenyltin (DPhT), and monophenyltin (MPhT).

The Ediacaran Biotas in Space and Time [PDF]

open access: yesIntegrative and Comparative Biology, 2003
The "Ediacaran organisms," which preceded and overlapped the Cambrian radiation of metazoans, include many fossils whose systematic positions remain contentious after over fifty years of study. It might seem that nothing particularly useful can be learned from a biota full of oddballs. However, analyses of the distribution of the Ediacaran organisms in

Isolation of microplastics in biota-rich seawater samples and marine organisms

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2014
Microplastic litter is a pervasive pollutant present in aquatic systems across the globe. A range of marine organisms have the capacity to ingest microplastics, resulting in adverse health effects.

Biochar as a Strategy to Mitigate Greenhouse Gases in Degraded Drylands of the Brazilian Semiarid Region: Carbon Stocks and CO2 Fluxes

open access: yesJournal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science, EarlyView.
This study evaluated the effects of pyrolytic biochars derived from co‐pyrolyzed sewage sludge and cashew residues on total organic carbon (TOC) recovery and CO2 emissions in degraded soils under greenhouse conditions. Biochar applications (5 to 40 Mg ha−1) enhanced soil carbon stocks and variably influenced CO2 fluxes over time.

Linking 'citizen scientists' to professionals in ecological research, examples from Namibia and South Africa [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
The use of trained members of the public (‘citizen scientists’) to help monitor and collect data in science-driven environmental research projects is not a new concept e.g.
