Alternative approaches to dryland reclamation enhance vegetation cover and soil stability at a former uranium mine

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Conventional reclamation methods to recover dryland ecosystems after mineral extraction often have low success. Alternative reclamation techniques may help overcome the many challenges to establishing persistent native vegetation and stable soils.

Can surface treatments and climate matching enhance restoration success in the Sonoran Desert?

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Restoring native plant communities in arid ecosystems through seeding is a critical yet often unsuccessful strategy due to severe environmental stressors, including degraded soils, low and variable rainfall, and seed predation. Objectives To improve restoration outcomes, we examined the influence of seed mix types and soil surface

Degradable Mulch Evaluation

, 2011
Introduction Plastic mulches can provide vegetable growers with earlier crop maturity, better yields and quality, improved disease, insect and weed control, and more efficient fertilizer and water use. The downside of using mulches is the high cost of installation and removal and disposal at the end of the season. A partial solution to this problem has

Microplastic Dynamics in Sediment Layers of Two Ramsar‐Designated Wetlands

Water and Environment Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Little is known about the vertical and spatial dynamics of microplastics in relation to hydrology and land use, particularly in African context. This study aimed to assess the abundance, type, colour and vertical distribution of microplastics in sediment from two Ramsar‐designated wetlands, the Makuleke and Nylsvley. Sediment core samples were

Effect of plant population on crop growth, floral biomass, and cannabinoid yield in field‐grown hemp

Agrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 9, Issue 2, June 2026.
Abstract Hemp (Cannabis sativa L.) was recently re‐legalized in the United States and cultivated for various purposes, including floral cannabidiol (CBD), grain, and fiber. Due to prohibition of hemp for a century, research supporting production guidelines, including plant density effects on CBD production, remains limited.
