Mushroom cultivation for soil amendment and bioremediation
Circular Agricultural Systems, 2021 Intensive crop production, use of pesticides, and unsustainable farming practices are known to cause land degradation and soil contamination. Both have led to a decline in biodiversity and changes in the functional groups of soil microorganisms. Although

Soil Amendments That Slow Cancer Growth [PDF]
Cancer Discovery, 2014 Abstract Summary: The recognition that the tumor microenvironment contributes to tumor survival, growth, and response to therapy provides the rationale for considering it a therapeutic target. The article by Alspach and colleagues in this issue provides evidence that p38MAPK acts posttranscriptionally to promote the tumor-permissive ...

Organic Amendments for Landscape Soils [PDF]
, 2021 Author(s): Downer, Jim; Farber, Ben | Abstract: Organic amendments are added to modify a soil in the zone where roots will grow— unlike mulches, which are applied to the undisturbed soil surface. These materials may be incorporated into landscape soils to improve plant growth. However, research has not shown that adding amendments to planting holes for

Atrazine leaching from biochar-amended soils [PDF]
Chemosphere, 2014 The herbicide atrazine is used extensively throughout the United States, and is a widespread groundwater and surface water contaminant. Biochar has been shown to strongly sorb organic compounds and could be used to reduce atrazine leaching. We used lab and field experiments to determine biochar impacts on atrazine leaching under increasingly ...

Effect of different soil amendments on soil buffering capacity
PLOS ONE, 2022 The buffering capacity of the soil is a very important property of the soil, which determines the ability of the soil to resist external influences, especially changes in pH and thus create good living conditions for plants and microorganisms in the soil. The buffering capacity thus significantly contributes to maintaining the health and quality of the

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2020 Carbon dioxide (CO2) is a major greenhouse gas, and its concentration in the atmosphere is increasing continuously, hence there is an urgent need to reduce its level in the atmosphere. Soils offer a large natural sink to store CO2.

Effects of biochar amendment on root traits and contaminant availability of maize plants in a copper and arsenic impacted soil [PDF]
, 2014 Biochar has been proposed as a tool to enhance phytostabilisation of contaminated soils but little data are available to illustrate the direct effect on roots in contaminated soils.
