Bio‐Derived Carbon Nanoparticles: A Green Amendment for Alleviating Heavy Metals in Soil–Plant Systems

open access: yesLand Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Heavy metal (HM) contamination of soil–plant systems poses persistent ecological and health risks, driving interest in nanoparticle‐based remediation. Although conventional chemically synthesized nanoparticles (CSNPs) are effective, their energy‐intensive production and residual toxicity limit sustainable deployment.

Simulated Trampling Disturbance Alters Biocrust Microbial Communities and Soil Functions: A Container‐Based Mesocosm Experiment

open access: yesLand Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Biological soil crusts (biocrusts) are crucial components of dryland ecosystems; however, they are highly vulnerable to anthropogenic disturbances, particularly trampling caused by grazing. To evaluate the impacts of trampling on biocrust structure, microbial communities, and soil functions, we conducted a mesocosm‐based simulated disturbance ...

Application of Organic Superabsorbent Cellulosic Polymers (OSCPs) and Cyanobacteria on Reduction of Aeolian Losses

open access: yesLand Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Establishing biocrusts on sandy surfaces in harsh desert environments presents significant challenges due to extreme ecological conditions. To address these challenges, this study examined the effects of two organic superabsorbent cellulosic polymers (OSCPs)—carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) and guar gum (GUA)—on the establishment of ...

Modified Biochar for Wastewater Nutrient Recovery and Slow‐Release Fertilization in Sandy Agroecosystems

open access: yesLand Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Modified biochars are increasingly recognized as multifunctional materials for wastewater nutrient recovery and slow‐release fertilization in sandy agroecosystems. This review evaluates modified biochars, with particular emphasis on tyre‐derived biochar (TBC), for (i) recovery of nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) from wastewater and digestate ...
