How the Physical and Chemical Properties Affect the Heavy Metal Content in Surface Water in Different Types of Peatlands

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Only ~3% of the global land surface is covered by peatlands, yet more than one‐third of global soil carbon is stored in these ecosystems and contaminant filtration can be provided. The extent to which peat humification (Fibric–Hemic–Sapric) is linked to dissolved heavy metals in peatland surface waters has remained poorly quantified at a ...

Underground Lag: Fungal Community and Edaphic Legacies After Disturbance

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Páramos are neotropical mountain ecosystems that regulate water and store large amounts of carbon, but are increasingly degraded by agriculture and grazing. Although native vegetation often recolonizes after abandonment, belowground recovery remains poorly understood.

Portuguese Students' Perceptions of Soil Ecosystem Services and Their Willingness to Change Behaviour for the Future of Soil

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Soil is one of the most important non‐renewable natural resources, playing a vital role in sustaining humanity. Studies exploring how students perceive soil ecosystem services are considerably scarcer. Therefore, the main objectives of this study are: (i) to understand Portuguese students' perceptions of the importance of different soil ...

Microbiological Mechanisms of Sand‐Mixed Soil Improvement in Continuously Cropped Soil

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sand‐mix soil is a widely adopted method for soil improvement in agricultural production. However, beyond the evident enhancement of physical structure, the mechanisms by which sand‐mix soil promotes crop root growth by influencing soil physicochemical properties and microbial communities remain insufficiently understood.
