Is solid calcium looping a scalable technology for mega-ton carbon dioxide removal?
Atmospheric CO2 removal at Gton scale is necessary to limit global temperature rise. This study provides essential insights into the energy, area, and water requirements of solid calcium looping for large-scale CO2 removal, combining experimental results

What's new? While the association between tobacco consumption and oral cancer is well established, the effect of cessation, particularly of chewing tobacco, the most common tobacco product in South Asia, is understudied. This case–control study in an Indian population demonstrates that a longer duration of tobacco smoking and chewing cessation is ...

Effect of environmental pollution on susceptibility of sesquioxide-rich soils to water erosion
This work assessed the impact of environmental pollution on soils susceptibility to water erosion within South-eastern Nigeria. Sources of pollutants which could possibly affect the chemical composition of runoff; hence its pH, were first determined by ...

Cover crop residues effect on soil structural stability and phosphatase activity
Good soil aggregate stability and soil enzyme activity are strictly necessary for the proliferation of plants growth and soil resistance against erosion. In this study, the goal was to investigate the effect of different cover crops on the soil aggregate

ABSTRACT The effects of long‐term phosphorus (P) fertilisation in agroecosystems on nitrogen (N) cycling are still elusive, in terms of P‐induced increase or reduction of N availability for plants and microorganisms, thereby affecting plant growth and also N2O emissions.

Weathering Influence on Properties of Siltstones from Istria, Croatia
Slaking and weathering of weak rocks result in slope instability. Siltstones from flysch rock masses are highly susceptible to weathering, which causes rapid changes in the geotechnical properties and durability. This study investigated siltstone samples

Abstract Soil salinity and sodicity severely limit agricultural productivity in the Awash Basin of Ethiopia, demanding innovative reclamation strategies. This study evaluated the efficiency of phosphogypsum (PG) amendment at varying loadings under intermittent leaching using pore volume for saline–sodic clay loam soils at Kessem Sugar Estate, Ethiopia.
