Thermochemically Treated Sewage Sludge Ash From Pilot‐Scale Production as P‐Fertilizer for Spring Wheat and Maize in Different Soil Conditions

Journal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background P‐fertilizers made from sewage sludge ash (SSA) may be suitable substitutes for rock phosphate (RP)‐based fertilizers and contribute to sustainable use of waste. In this context, the thermochemical AshDec treatment of SSA (TC‐SSA) has been continuously improved and has emerged as a possible method to produce plant‐available and low ...

Optimizing Soil Properties Through Hydrogel and Sawdust Combinations for Better Plant Growth

Journal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science, EarlyView.
This graphical abstract illustrates the effects of various soil amendments on poplar cutting vitality under drought conditions, as observed using X‐ray computed tomography (CT). It compares soil alone, soil with sawdust, soil with hydrogel, and their combination, highlighting differences in internal structure, water retention, and root development.

Holocene climate oscillations, seismotectonic events and human–environmental interactions reconstructed from the Giannades palaeolake on Corfu (Eastern Mediterranean, Greece)

Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Mediterranean is particularly sensitive to rapid climate changes (RCCs) during the Holocene. An increasing number of natural climate archives revealed that socio‐economic developments were influenced by such RCCs since the Palaeolithic. However, multi‐millennial and high‐resolution archives are still rare and often located in mountainous ...

Nutrition Status of Trees on Spoil Heaps After Coal Mining Can Be Inferred From Seasonal Dynamics of Foliar Nutrient Concentrations

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT A stable vegetation cover on given habitat conditions can be one of the possible requirements for post‐mining sites, as it can prevent erosion and dustiness of these anthropogenic surfaces and bring several practical future benefits, such as biomass production and microclimate improvement.

Sanitary Logging in the Monarch Butterfly Biosphere Reserve: One Problem, One Legislation but Different Criteria and Different Treatments

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Bark beetles are small insects that inhabit the bark of trees. When their population increases excessively, they can weaken the trees and cause their death. In México, federal regulations obligate forest landowners to carry out sanitary logging to control bark beetle outbreaks in adherence to official procedures.

CO2 Fluxes and Soil Responses to Straw and Herbicide in Peanut

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Peanut cultivation plays an important agronomic role in Brazil, especially in rotation with sugarcane, promoting biological nitrogen fixation and improving soil quality. This study aimed to test the hypothesis that the combined use of sugarcane mulch, peanut cultivation, and herbicide application would affect soil CO₂ fluxes, soil chemical ...

Carbon Stock and Environmental Variations of Typical Plantations in Mufu Mountain in Hubei Province, China

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Forest ecosystems play a critical role in the global carbon cycle. As a significant terrestrial carbon sink, plantations exhibit carbon stock patterns that are shaped by tree species composition, stand structure, and environmental conditions. Here, we investigated typical plantation types in the Mufu Mountain, Hubei Province.

Aquatic and Littoral Successions in Various Post‐Mining Sites—Patterns and Possible Use in Ecological Restoration

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Vegetation succession in aquatic and littoral habitats has received much less attention than terrestrial habitats have. We sampled differently aged successional stages at five different types of post‐mining sites, that is, sandpits, stone quarries, clay quarries, brown coal spoil heaps and black coal subsidences, across the Czech Republic ...

Wildfires' Cost for Societal Welfare: Economic Evaluation of Forestry Ecosystem Services Losses in Southern Italy

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Forest ecosystem services (ESs) are garnering increasing public attention as awareness grows regarding society's fundamental dependence on them for well‐being. Forest fires, one of the major disturbances of ESs, are becoming more frequent and destructive, exacerbated in part by climate change.

Gender and Land Degradation Neutrality (LDN): Evaluating Nigeria's Legislative Framework for Achieving Gender‐Equitable LDN Outcomes

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Legislative frameworks that support gender equality are crucial for addressing structural inequalities, protecting women's rights, and achieving gender‐equitable land degradation neutrality (LDN) outcomes. This study examines the extent to which national‐level policies and legislation governing LDN and related sectors incorporate gender ...
