Application of geochemical modelling and multiple regression analysis to reassess groundwater evolution in Kaduna Basin, NW Nigeria

Discover Water
Geochemical modelling (GM) and multiple regression analysis (MRA) are applied to reassess the evolution of groundwater to understand and estimate groundwater's quality and chemical changes.

Water Table Decline Shifts Microbial Necromass From Particulate to Mineral‐Associated Pools in Peatlands

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Microbial necromass carbon (MNC) is a major and stable component of soil organic carbon, yet its fraction‐specific accumulation and stabilization mechanisms remain unclear, particularly in peatlands experiencing hydrological change. We investigated MNC distribution along three independent transects spanning a natural gradient of five ...

Soil Humic Substances and Root Exudates: Key Factors Modulating Cadmium Mobility in Paddy Soils Under Organic Fertilization

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Cadmium (Cd) contamination in paddy fields poses a high potential risk of environmental exposure. Organic fertilizer application can promote the efflux of rice root exudates, increase soil organic matter, and induce changes in Cd activity in rice fields.

Ecological Restoration of Degraded Mining Soils Through Key‐Layer Construction Using Industrial By‐Products: A Comprehensive Analysis of Soil Physics, Microbiology, and Maize Yield

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Coal mining severely degrades soil profiles and ecosystem functions, highlighting the need for effective reclamation. Reconstructing soil profiles with industrial solid wastes offers a promising waste‐to‐resource approach, but the ecological effects of different engineered key‐layer materials remain unclear.

Beyond Chemical Compliance: A Critical Review Toward Microbiome‐Informed Ecological Exit Criteria for Bioremediated Soils

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Chemical compliance remains the usual endpoint for closing contaminated‐soil remediation projects, although it does not establish recovery of soil function or the durability of the post‐treatment state. This critical review examines when microbiological evidence can contribute to ecological closure decisions.

Hunting Strategies and Game Exploitation Organization in the Magdalenian: An Integrated Approach Based on Mortality Profiles and Stable Isotopes at Chaves Cave (Huesca, Spain)

International Journal of Osteoarchaeology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Understanding hunting strategies in Upper Paleolithic contexts remains challenging due to the complex relationships between prey behavior, environmental conditions, and human decision‐making. Addressing these dynamics requires integrating archeozoological, geospatial, and geochemical proxies capable of capturing demographic patterns, landscape

Interplanetary frontiers: terraforming from an invasion science perspective

Oikos, EarlyView.
The pursuit of a multi‐planetary existence represents one of humanity's greatest frontiers. If applied justly, it offers an opportunity to extend its civilization's lifespan amid escalating sustainability crises on Earth. One approach increasingly gaining traction is terraforming, a hitherto theoretical ecological and evolutionary experiment revolving ...

Repeated Pleistocene Permafrost Episodes in the Western Pannonian Basin

Permafrost and Periglacial Processes, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Concerning the study of past periglacial processes, the Pannonian Basin is a key area as it contains the southernmost frost polygons found in Central Europe. The presence or absence of permafrost is still, however, a matter of debate, and data on the timing of frost action are also scarce.
