Evaluating the state of constructed infills in the Venice Lagoon through remote satellite imagery

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Salt‐marsh restoration is used to counter wetland loss, strengthen ecosystem resilience, and support dredged‐sediment reuse. In the Venice Lagoon, 63 constructed infills have been realized since the late 1980s, yet their eco‐geomorphological development and restoration performance remain incompletely assessed. Objectives The study

Durability Study of Coir Geotextile Embedded in Different Types of Subgrade Soil

Journal of Natural Fibers, 2022
Coir fiber is a natural fiber extracted from the husk of coconut. Coir geotextiles made from coir fibers which are biodegradable and eco-friendly are a good alternative to polymeric geotextile.

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

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 ...

Effects of sheath-core Microstructure on the Mechanical and Chemical Durability of Geotextiles [PDF]

E3S Web of Conferences
Geotextiles require long-term durability under harsh environmental conditions. While polypropylene (PP) geotextiles offer excellent chemical resistance, its mechanical strength is limited; conversely, polyester (PET) geotextiles provide high strength but

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.

Dry Abrasion Evaluation of Geotextiles with Different Test Standards [PDF]

E3S Web of Conferences
Abrasion tests have been developed primarily for geotextiles and their main use has been with nonwoven geotextiles. However, very little or no information exists for woven geotextiles, even worse if they are made of polypropylene or polyester, polymers ...
