Mineralogical associations with soil carbon in managed wetland soils

Global Change Biology, 2020
AbstractCarbon (C)‐rich wetland soils are often drained for agriculture due to their capacity to support high net primary productivity. Increased drainage is expected this century to meet the agricultural demands of a growing population. Wetland drainage can result in large soil C losses and the concentration of residual soil minerals such as iron (Fe)

Use of Biostimulants Obtained from Sewage Sludge for the Restoration of Soils Polluted by Diuron: Effect on Soil Biochemical Properties

Agronomy, 2022
The use of biostimulants in the bioremediation of polluted soils in order to eliminate/reduce the toxic effects of pesticides on the soil is currently a very common environmental practice.

Mineralogy and Magnetic Properties of Basaltic Substrate Soils: Kaho'olawe and Big Island, Hawaii [PDF]

, 2008
Magnetic behavior of soils can seriously hamper the performance of geophysical sensors. Currently, we have little understanding of the types of minerals responsible for the magnetic behavior, as well as their distribution in space and evolution through ...

Chemical dispersants and pre-treatments to determine clay in soils with different mineralogy

Revista Brasileira de Ciência do Solo, 2011
Knowledge of the soil physical properties, including the clay content, is of utmost importance for agriculture. The behavior of apparently similar soils can differ in intrinsic characteristics determined by different formation processes and nature of the

Opium trade and use during the Late Bronze Age: Organic residue analysis of ceramic vessels from the burials of Tel Yehud, Israel

Archaeometry, EarlyView., 2022
Abstract Organic residue analysis was conducted on various vessels from burials at Tel Yehud, Israel. The analyses led to new reliable evidence for the presence of opioid alkaloids and their decomposition products. This research revitalizes a decades‐old discussion on the presence and function of the opium trade across a cultural region of utmost ...

Short-term exposure to biodegradable mulch-film microplastics at field-realistic levels shows no effect on lettuce performance and soil health

Microplastics and Nanoplastics
The increasing use of biodegradable plastic mulch films in agriculture is expected to reduce plastic pollution of soils. Yet, the effects of biodegradable microplastics on plant performance and soil health, under environmentally relevant microplastics ...
