Key soil health indicators under humid grazing lands
Grassland Research, EarlyView.Soil health can be described using a few key soil health indicators that target a diversity of soil functions. This perspective article highlights how forage management affects these soil health indicators in humid‐zone grazing lands. Abstract Background Soil health describes critical soil functions influenced by land management. Although some key soil

Risk factors for avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder in children: A systematic review
Journal of Pediatric Gastroenterology and Nutrition, EarlyView.Abstract Objectives Avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder (ARFID) is a relatively new diagnosis in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM)‐5, since 2013. The restrictive and/or selective eating—driven by a lack of interest, sensory sensitivity, and/or concern over aversive consequences—is associated with significant medical ...

Non-target effects of three formulated pesticides on microbially-mediated processes in a clay-loam soil [PDF]
, 2013 An experiment was performed to study non-target effects of difenoconazole (fungicide), deltamethrin (insecticide) and ethofumesate (herbicide) on microbial parameters in a clay-loam soil. Pesticides were applied as commercial formulations to soil samples

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Soil degradation compromises ecosystem functioning. Biochar, a carbon‐rich amendment, has gained attention as a promising strategy to enhance soil structure and restore microbial balance. This study investigated the effects of two biochars, cashew bagasse biochar (CBB) and a co‐pyrolyzed biochar produced from sewage sludge and cashew pruning ...
