Biodiversity and soil type modulate the effect of plastic contamination on soil functioning
Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 4, April 2026.Our findings show that the negative effects of plastic contamination on soil functioning strongly depend on soil type and can be partly alleviated by plant diversity. In sandy soils, diverse plant communities buffered functional losses under plastic stress, whereas in clayey soils the benefits of diversity were suppressed.

Is solid calcium looping a scalable technology for mega-ton carbon dioxide removal?
Journal of CO2 UtilizationAtmospheric 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

Effect of environmental pollution on susceptibility of sesquioxide-rich soils to water erosion
Geology, Ecology, and Landscapes, 2018 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 ...

Soil Use and Management, Volume 42, Issue 2, April‐June 2026.ABSTRACT Integrating grasslands into cropping systems has benefits for nutrient cycling and weed control. Beyond that, grasslands are also recognized for their ability to improve soil organic carbon (SOC) and structural stability (SS). This study examined how grassland proportion, fertilization and grassland mixture, both during the grassland phase and

Influence of Organic and Inorganic Amendments on Aggregate Development in a Sodic Dispersive Soil
Soil Use and Management, Volume 42, Issue 2, April‐June 2026.ABSTRACT Improvement of soil structure is critical for efficient nutrient and water transport to plants, particularly in sodic, dispersive soils. In addition to inorganic amendments such as gypsum, organic amendments (OAs) can enhance soil aggregation and stability through biochemical processes, but it is unclear how OAs composition [carbon (C) content,

Weathering Influence on Properties of Siltstones from Istria, Croatia
Advances in Materials Science and Engineering, 2016 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

Cover crop residues effect on soil structural stability and phosphatase activity
Acta Agriculturae Scandinavica. Section B, Soil and Plant Science, 2021 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
