A First Quantitative Assessment of Soil Health at European Scale Considering Soil Genesis
ABSTRACT Background Soil health degradation is a major threat to European food security, biodiversity, and climate stability. While scientists have debated how to define soil health during recent decades, a quantifiable framework for monitoring, management, and policy remains lacking.

Nutrients, Metals, and Carbon in Soils Irrigated With Treated Versus Untreated Wastewater
Transitioning from untreated to treated wastewater irrigation reduced soluble N and P but enhanced Cr, Fe and Ni mobilization in long‐term wastewater‐irrigated Mezquital Valley soils, highlighting soil‐type‐dependent effects. ABSTRACT Background Reuse of wastewater for irrigation can mitigate pressure on water resources and support closing nutrient ...

Mitigation of GHGs Emission From Soils by a Catalyzed In-Situ Photo-Oxidative Polymerization of Soil Organic Matter [PDF]
Agricultural lands under food and bio-energy crops, managed grass and permanent crops including agro-forestry, occupy about 40-50% of the Earth's land surface^1^. In 2005, agriculture accounted for an estimated emission of 5.1 to 6.1 GtCO2-eq/yr (10-

Extreme Potomac Floods at Washington D.C. During the Past 500 Years
Abstract Washington D.C. faces one of the highest 100‐year flood risks of any major city along the U.S. East Coast. In addition to storm‐surge inundation during hurricanes and nor'easters, water‐level observations for Washington are strongly skewed by major floods on the Potomac River.
