From Food Waste to Valorized Nanomaterials: Sustainable Green Synthesis and Biomedical Applications

ChemFoodChem, EarlyView.
Food waste‐derived biomolecules act as natural reducing and stabilizing agents for the green synthesis of functional NPs with applications in antimicrobial systems, food packaging, biomedical technologies, and environmental remediation. ABSTRACT Food waste is a global issue, with billions of tons discarded and unutilized annually, causing economic ...

Modeling the effect of soil meso- and macropores topology on the biodegradation of a soluble carbon substrate [PDF]

, 2015
Soil structure and interactions between biotic and abiotic processes are increasingly recognized as important for explaining the large uncertainties in the outputs of macroscopic SOM decomposition models.

Environmental Transformation and Trophic Transfer of Engineered Nanomaterials in the Agri‐Food Chain and Implications for human Health

ChemFoodChem, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Engineered nanomaterials (ENMs) are increasingly applied in agriculture to improve crop yield, nutrient efficiency, and food quality. This study examines the environmental transformation of ENMs, their uptake in plants, and their transfer across the agri‐food chain leading to human exposure.

Decomposer biomass in the rhizosphere to assess rhizodposition [PDF]

, 2007
Quantification of the organic carbon released from plant roots is a challenge. These compounds of rhizodeposition are quickly transformed into CO2 and eventually bacterial biomass to be consumed by bacterivores (protozoa and nematodes).

Soil biological quality of grassland fertilized with adjusted cattle manure slurries in comparison with organic and inorganic fertilizers [PDF]

, 2009
We studied the effect of five fertilizers (including two adjusted manure slurries) and an untreated control on soil biota and explored the effect on the ecosystem services they provided.

High atmospheric pressure rescues plant growth under humidity stress: A model for climate‐resilient deep underground agriculture

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
High atmospheric pressure (120 kPa) in deep underground counteracts humidity‐induced physiological stress in plants, stabilizing water balance and enhancing antioxidative defenses. This synergy boosts biomass despite elevated humidity, demonstrating sustainable deep underground agriculture potential under climate uncertainty.

Short‐Term Effects of Cover Crops on Soil Microbial Characteristics and Biogeochemical Processes across Actively Managed Farms

Agrosystems, Geosciences & Environment, 2019
Core Ideas The effect of cover crops on soil microbes and biogeochemistry was examined. Cover crops increase microbial biomass and bioavailable soil carbon. Increasing cover crop biomass amplifies belowground effects.

Impact of reduced tillage on soil organic carbon and nutrient budgets under organic farming [PDF]

, 2017
No-tillage (NT) and reduced tillage (RT) systems are well-known management tools for reducing soil erosion and improving soil fertility. NT and RT may improve the environmental and economic performance of organic farming, but they are still not common ...

Tropical forest restoration: Fast resilience of plant biomass contrasts with slow recovery of stable soil C stocks [PDF]

, 2017
Due to intensifying human disturbance, over half of the world's tropical forests are reforested or afforested secondary forests or plantations. Understanding the resilience of carbon (C) stocks in these forests, and estimating the extent to which they ...
