An evaluation of nitrogen indicators for soil health in long‐term agricultural experiments
Abstract Various soil health indicators that measure a chemically defined fraction of nitrogen (N) or a process related to N cycling have been proposed to quantify the potential to supply N to crops, a key soil function. We evaluated five N indicators (total soil N, autoclavable citrate extractable N, water‐extractable organic N, potentially ...

Health and Safety Effects of Airborne Soil Dust in the Americas and Beyond
Abstract Risks associated with dust hazards are often underappreciated, a gap between the knowledge pool and public awareness that can be costly for impacted communities. This study reviews the emission sources and chemical, physical, and biological characteristics of airborne soil particles (dust) and their effects on human and environmental health ...

Pyrolysis‐induced phosphorus transformations for biosolids from diverse sources
Abstract Biosolids have been long used as a soil amendment to promote nutrient recovery. The readily releasable forms of nutrients present in this biowaste, such as phosphorus (P), along with their over application, can be detrimental to the environment, causing eutrophication.

Phytoremediation of Engineered Nanoparticles Using Typha latifolia and Carex rostrata
Engineered nanoparticles (ENPs) are in demand for numerous industrial, commercial, and domestic applications. Concern has arisen, however, regarding potential adverse environmental impacts from the inadvertent release of ENPs into water bodies. Certain plants have been identified with the capability to absorb metallic ENPs via roots, thus indicating ...
