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

Journal 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.

Routine characterization and interpretation of complex alkali feldspar intergrowths [PDF]

, 2015
Almost all alkali feldspar crystals contain a rich inventory of exsolution, twin, and domain microtextures that form subsequent to crystal growth and provide a record of the thermal history of the crystal and often of its involvement in replacement ...

The Pace di Siena and its Gems

Journal of Raman Spectroscopy, EarlyView.
For the first time, the gems of the Pace di Siena, a rare en ronde bosse enamel preserved in Arezzo (Italy), have been analyzed using a transdisciplinary approach. The combination of gemmology and Raman spectroscopy has led to the identification of blue sapphires and pink spinels, contradicting previous historical classifications.

An ecological framework for microbial metabolites in the ocean ecosystem

Limnology and Oceanography Letters, EarlyView.
Abstract The ocean microbe‐metabolite network involves thousands of individual metabolites that encompass a breadth of chemical diversity and biological functions. These microbial metabolites mediate biogeochemical cycles, facilitate ecological relationships, and impact ecosystem health. While analytical advancements have begun to illuminate such roles,

The pio Operon Is Essential for Phototrophic Fe(II) Oxidation in Rhodopseudomonas palustris TIE-1 [PDF]

, 2006
Phototrophic Fe(II)-oxidizing bacteria couple the oxidation of ferrous iron [Fe(II)] to reductive CO2 fixation by using light energy, but until recently, little has been understood about the molecular basis for this process. Here we report the discovery,

Influence of Carbon Material Properties on Slag‐Foaming Dynamics in Electric Arc Furnaces: A Review

steel research international, EarlyView.
This article examines how the properties of the carbon materials affect the slag foaming, emphasizing the need for strategies to improve the effectiveness of biochar, such as pelletizing or blending with coke. Biocoke appears as promising but underexplored option for enhancing slag foaming.

SAND, PLANTATION URBANISM AND THE EXTENDED POLITICAL ECOLOGY OF INFRASTRUCTURES IN INDIA

International Journal of Urban and Regional Research, EarlyView.
Abstract Recently, large parts of India and the global South have witnessed widespread sand extraction from rural sites for urban infrastructure projects, causing extensive environmental damage. Critical scholarship has theorized these sites as new extractive frontiers that facilitate the needs of green energy transitions and planetary urbanization. In

Detrital zircon SHRIMP U-Pb age study of the Cordillera Darwin Metamorphic Complex of Tierra del Fuego : sedimentary sources and implications for the evolution of the Pacific margin of Gondwana [PDF]

, 2010
The Cordillera Darwin Metamorphic Complex in the southernmost Andes includes a basement of probable Palaeozoic age, a mid-Jurassic and younger volcano-sedimentary cover, and a suite of Jurassic granites, all of which were jointly metamorphosed during the
