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.

Survival of Salmonella on Biodegradable Mulch, Landscape Fabric, and Plastic Mulch

Journal of Food Protection
Ground covers are used in produce production to enhance plant growth and control diseases and pests. While various factors are considered when selecting commercial ground covers, food safety, particularly the survival of foodborne pathogens, is often overlooked. This study aimed to assess the survival of Salmonella on different ground covers, including

Differential response of Palmer amaranth (Amaranthus palmeri) seed germination and seedling emergence under variable environmental conditions

Agrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 9, Issue 2, June 2026.
Abstract Palmer amaranth (Amaranthus palmeri S. Watson) is a eudicot weed that is considered as one of the most problematic weed species. It is reported to overcome several environmental and management stresses under field conditions. Research was conducted in a growth chamber and greenhouse to evaluate the effects of different stress parameters such ...
