Subchronic Exposure to Arsenic and Nickel Triggers Nitrosative Stress and Histological Alterations in the Rat Liver

Journal of Applied Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Environmental exposure to heavy metals poses a threat to human health. Several studies documented harmful effects on the liver after arsenic and nickel exposure at concentrations beyond permissible limits. Nevertheless, the impact of a simultaneous exposure to both elements on hepatic biochemistry and histology remains unelucidated. Therefore,

Soil Silicon Application Alleviates Drought Stress in Sugar Beet (Beta vulgaris L.)

Journal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background: The increasing frequency and intensity of drought events have led to yield and quality losses in sugar beet production in temperate regions in Central Europe. Under arid conditions, silicon (Si) application reduced beet yield losses under drought. Similar data for temperate climates are missing.

The German Soil Systematics and the Rationale Behind Its Revision

Journal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background The German Soil Systematics is a pedogenetic classification based on the morphological expressions of pedogenic processes and has been developed over several stages since 1952. The system has successfully been in use for soil classification and soil survey for almost 70 years.

A Preliminary Assessment of Underground Space Resources for Hydrogen Storage in Salt Caverns in Lambton County, Southern Ontario, Canada

Mining
Underground hydrogen storage (UHS) is considered to solve the intermittency problem of renewable energy. A geological assessment indicated that the B unit of the Salina Group in Southern Ontario, Canada, is the most promising for UHS because it is the ...

Bee pollen as functional food and environmental bioindicator: current evidence and future challenges

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract Bee pollen (BP), a plant‐derived product collected by honey bees, is increasingly promoted as a functional food due to its content of proteins, essential amino acids, lipids, vitamins, minerals, and bioactive compounds such as polyphenols and flavonoids.

Carbon‐Fixing Bacterial Network Complexity Mediates Soil Multifunctionality in a Panax notoginseng‐Pinus armandii Agroforestry System

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Autotrophic carbon‐fixing bacteria (CFB) are central contributors to soil carbon sequestration and biogeochemical carbon cycling in agroforestry ecosystems and can act as reliable biological indicators for evaluating agroforestry ecosystem sustainability.

Soil Contamination Around the Copper Smelter and the Use of Soil Microarthropods as Bioindicators

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Soil contamination from smelter emissions, including heavy metals (HM), rare earth elements (REEs), and sulfur, poses a significant threat to soil ecosystems. In the immediate vicinity of the Głogów Copper Smelter, HM concentrations were several times higher than in more distant forest stands.

Effects of Biochar on Freezing Temperature and Unfrozen Water Content in Pb‐Contaminated Seasonally Frozen Soils: Implications for Mitigating Land Degradation

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Freeze–thaw processes are important drivers of land degradation in cold regions, and soil freezing temperature and unfrozen water content are key parameters for characterizing soil hydrothermal conditions and water phase transitions during freezing.

Hydrogen Analyses of FSW Cu‐OFP Tested Under Creep Conditions in Sulphide Containing Environment

Materials and Corrosion, EarlyView.
Friction stir welded Cu‐OFP exhibits elevated creep rates in sulphide‐containing aqueous environments, with creep increasing as sulphide concentration rises. Hydrogen measurements indicate that sulphide exposure does not increase hydrogen content. ABSTRACT Friction stir welded oxygen‐free phosphorus‐doped copper (FSW Cu‐OFP) is a candidate material for

Behavior of Injection‐Molded Nylon 6 Composites With Virgin and Field‐Exposed Waste‐Recycled Blends

Polymer Composites, EarlyView.
Recycling field‐exposed Nylon 6 composites for sustainable secondary applications. ABSTRACT Every year, more than 18,600 metric tonnes of glass fiber‐reinforced Nylon 6 composite waste from sucker rod guides used in downhole oil and gas applications are landfilled due to uncertainty about retained performance after prolonged service exposure.
