Neoichnology and sediment distribution in tidal flats of the mud‐dominated mesotidal Mira River estuary (Portugal)

Sedimentology, Volume 72, Issue 7, Page 2201-2238, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Invertebrate burrow morphologies and distributions are presented for the tidal flats of the middle and lower reaches of the tide‐influenced (mesotidal), mud‐dominated Mira River estuary (SW Portugal) as an analogue for interpreting the ichnology of palaeoestuarine successions.

Avoidance, biomass and survival response of soil dwelling (endogeic) earthworms to OECD artificial soil: potential implications for earthworm ecotoxicology [PDF]

, 2017
Soil dwelling earthworms are now adopted more widely in ecotoxicology, so it is vital to establish if standardised test parameters remain applicable.

Corn cob pyrolysis: A systematic literature review of methods and applications

The Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, Volume 103, Issue 11, Page 5520-5585, November 2025.
Mapping the research landscape of corn cob pyrolysis. Abstractas The agricultural sector is experiencing a surge in waste generation due to population growth, creating an urgent need to convert byproducts into value‐added products. Maize (Zea mays L.), a leading global crop, produces significant byproducts, such as corn cob, which are often undervalued.

The impact on the soil microbial community and enzyme activity of two earthworm species during the bioremediation of pentachlorophenol-contaminated soils [PDF]

, 2016
The ecological effect of earthworms on the fate of soil pentachlorophenol (PCP) differs with species. This study addressed the roles and mechanisms by which two earthworm species (epigeic Eisenia fetida and endogeic Amynthas robustus E.

Co‐presence of black soldier fly frass, soil‐biodegradable mulch films, and earthworms: effects on film biodegradation, ecotoxicity, and microbial community

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, Volume 105, Issue 14, Page 8094-8107, November 2025.
Abstract Background Soil‐biodegradable mulch films (SBF) are used increasingly to enhance crop yields while addressing soil pollution and disposal issues. Another sustainable practice gaining attention is the use of soil amendments derived from waste, such as insect frass from Hermetia illucens.

Evaluation of Black Soldier Fly (Hermetia illucens) Compost as a Soil Amendment for Vegetable Production

Journal of Sustainable Agriculture and Environment, Volume 4, Issue 3, September 2025.
ABSTRACT Agricultural production practices are facing ever‐increasing constraints under a climate demanding more sustainable practices be implemented. One promising solution that has received a lot of attention of late is black soldier fly (BSF) composting. Here we evaluated the application of BSF‐derived compost in comparison to commercially available

Heavy metals (Cr and Zn) induced alterations in cast production, burrowing behaviour, surface migration and macropore formation in three ecologically different earthworm species: A comparative study [PDF]

, 2015
Heavy metals can influence earthworm behavior and physiology which could drastically impact the soil functioning. To test this hypothesis, under laboratory conditions, the cast production and burrow systems( burrow length and patterns), macropores formed
