Effect of drying–wetting cycles on aggregate breakdown for yellow–brown earths in karst areas
Geoenvironmental Disasters, 2017 Background Drying and rewetting process, frequently occurred during climatic changes, is an important process in soil aggregate slacking and dissolution.

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.

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,

Disintegration, Salvation, and/or Madness in Dostoevsky
International Journal of Applied Psychoanalytic Studies, Volume 23, Issue 1, March 2026.ABSTRACT Psychological fragmentation and derangement suffuse Dostoevsky's fiction. This paper argues that the madness of Dostoevsky characters derives from intense wounds to the self: humiliating lacerations that impel fugue and disintegration. Such vulnerable, frangible characters seek to escape and deny themselves to avoid being seen for who they are.

Application of geological strength index for characterization of weathering-induced failures
Građevinar, 2018 This study investigates weathering induced failures of the heterogeneous fissile rock mass consisting of sandstone and shale. Discontinuity data was collected and the geological strength index (GSI) value was determined immediately after excavation based

Chemie Ingenieur Technik, Volume 98, Issue 3, Page 98-105, March 2026.Let us consider an alternative perspective on climate change: The sum of solar radiation and heat generated by human activity result in a net energy input of 1.96 times that of the Sun on the Earth's surface. The expanding global population is expected to exacerbate this issue. Potential solutions are proposed, including replacement and heat recycling.

Physical indicators for pollution detection in terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems
Bulletin of the National Research Centre, 2019 Background Soil indicators are commonly used to evaluate and give an idea how well soil functions since soil function often cannot be directly measured.
