Bionic Solar‐Powered Heavy Metal Trap for Eco‐Friendly Sludge Drying and Simultaneous Electricity Generation

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Herein, we propose a solar‐powered heavy metal trap (SPHT) for sludge disposal. The indoor experiments demonstrated that the sludge water content decreased from 90 % to 31 %, coupled with a decrease in heavy metal content to 6 % at most. Furthermore, the designed SPHT generated an initial potential of 0.10 V, and monitoring this hydrovoltaic potential ...

Seasonal Variations in CO2 Emission from Poultry Manure-amended Soils in Two Contrasting Tropical Agroecosystems

open access: yesApplied Environmental Research
The soil remains the largest carbon sink, the capacity of which varies spatiotemporally and with anthropogenic activities, with implications for carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions and associated global warming.

Soil Fragmentation and Friability. Effects of Soil Water and Soil Management

open access: yes, 2002
Soil fragmentation is a primary aim in most tillage operations in order to create a soil environment favourable for crop establishment and growth. Soils vary around the world from those exhibiting a self-mulching nature to those of a hardsetting nature ...

Extra Climate Benefits From Afforestation Due to Reduced Forest Fragmentation in China

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Afforestation in China reduced forest fragmentation in 2015, transforming 51.8 M ha of edge forests into interior forests. This enhanced carbon sequestration (1.4±0.2 Pg CO2e, a cooling biogeochemical effect), while reduced albedo (−0.9 Pg CO2e, a warming biophysical effect) partially offset the gain, yielding a net extra climate benefit of ...

Environmental, ecological and human health risk assessment for Ba, Cr, Zn and V in minesoil after 20 years of restoration in southern Brazil

open access: yesFrontiers in Soil Science
Heavy metals are a persistent threat in soils formed after mining (minesoils). This study was conducted in a 20-year randomized complete block design experiment installed within an active coal mine in Candiota, southern Brazil. Thus, this work provides a
