Grassland forage legumes and drought mitigation – sheep wool application improved soil water availability and enhanced drought–stress responses

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, Volume 106, Issue 13, Page 8073-8084, October 2026.
Abstract Background Sheep wool may reduce drought stress in grasslands when used as a soil amendment. Two experiments were conducted to explore if: (i) water absorbed by wool would be biologically ‘active’ and therefore available to plants, using a novel method of measuring water activity (a w); and, (ii) adding wool to compost would delay water stress

A study on soil-geotextile interaction using gradient ratio tests

Przegląd Naukowy Inżynieria i Kształtowanie Środowiska, 2019
Nonwoven geotextile have been widely used for filtration. In this paper, the clogging potential for a soil-geotextile system were assessed using laboratory tests. An ASTM modified gradient ratio test device was used to determine gradient ratio as well as

Multitechnique Physicochemical Characterization of Horse Hoof Trimmings as Sustainable and Untapped Keratin Source

ChemistryOpen, Volume 15, Issue 10, October 2026.
Horse hoof trimmings, cruelty‐free and traceable keratin‐rich waste, were characterized for particle size, morphology, thermal stability, composition and metal contamination. Results show a high higher‐heating value and promising upcycling paths for energy and materials, but variable metal contamination (shoeing‐ and milling‐dependent) requires ...

Effect of geotextile constraint on geotextile/geomembrane interface shear behavior

, 2011
: This paper examines the role of geotextile constraint during laboratory testing on geotextile/geomembrane interface shear behavior. This study specifically involved four needle-punched nonwoven geotextiles as well as a smooth and a textured HDPE ...

Conservation Agriculture Improves Soil Resilience by Integrating Physical, Chemical, and Biological Pathways

Global Change Biology Communications, Volume 1, Issue 3, September 2026.
Conservation agriculture significantly enhances soil resilience in tropical agroecosystems, especially in semiarid areas characterized by high degradation susceptibility, mostly related to the occurrence of shallow soils and increasing climate stress.

Toward Plastic‐Free Vineyards: The Role of Bioplastics in Sustainable Viticulture—A Review

Polymers for Advanced Technologies, Volume 37, Issue 9, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Agricultural value chains consume more than 12.5 Mt. of plastics annually, and vineyard systems are a notable source of short‐lived plastic waste. In viticulture, conventional plastics improve agricultural efficiency, crop protection, and wine quality, but their widespread use raises environmental and health concerns.
