Incorporating soil biological and functional attributes to advance ecological restoration

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Earth is currently experiencing a mass extinction crisis, predominantly driven by anthropogenic activities, with land use change causing widespread loss and degradation of native ecosystems and indigenous species. There is an urgent need to halt this trend and restore degraded habitat to preserve biodiversity and protect threatened plants and animals ...

Aporrectodea earthworms respond to salt and organic matter levels in captive and free-choice mesocosms

open access: yesSoil Organisms
As popular soil health indicators, earthworms play a role in soil assessments, especially when it comes to salinity. Salinity influences soil chemistry, structure, hydrology, and biological activity.

Earthworm (Eisenia andrei) Avoidance of Soils Treated with Cypermethrin

open access: yesSensors, 2011
The pyrethroid insecticide cypermethrin is used for agricultural and public health campaigns. Its residues may contaminate soils and the beneficial soil organisms, like the earthworms, that may ingest the contaminated soil particles.

Innovation for Sustainable Development: Assessing Sustainability‐Oriented Innovations in the UK Palm Oil Supply Chains

open access: yesSustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This research evaluates the adoption of Sustainability‐Oriented Innovations (SOIs) by UK food manufacturers, particularly in the palm oil sector. Despite the global palm oil industry's environmental and social impacts, such as deforestation and labour exploitation, empirical studies on SOIs are limited. This paper addressed this gap by mapping

Ecotoxicological Evaluation of the Antimicrobial Butylparaben in Edaphic Organisms Using Multiple Biomarkers

open access: yesEnvironmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
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.

Earthworms affect growth and competition between ectomycorrhizal and arbuscular mycorrhizal plants

open access: yesEcosphere, 2019
Previous research showed that during intermediate stages of primary succession, when vegetation is dominated by ectomycorrhizal (EcM) shrubs and trees, site colonization by earthworms substantially alters plant communities.
