Effects of microplastics on soil microorganisms and microbial functions in nutrients and carbon cycling - A review.

Science of the Total Environment
The harmful effects of microplastics (MPs) pollution in the soil ecosystem have drawn global attention in recent years. This paper critically reviews the effects of MPs on soil microbial diversity and functions in relation to nutrients and carbon cycling.

An optimized method for extraction and purification of inorganic phosphate from plant material for oxygen isotope ratio analysis

MethodsX
Compound-specific stable isotope ratio analysis of oxygen isotopes in inorganic phosphate can be used to study biological phosphorus cycling and the transformation processes controlling the fate of phosphorus. However, methods for extraction of inorganic

Effect of microplastics and arsenic on nutrients and microorganisms in rice rhizosphere soil.

Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety, 2021
The presence of microplastics and arsenic in soil can endanger crop growth; therefore, their effects on the properties of rhizosphere soil should be evaluated.

Fire alters the availability of soil nutrients and accelerates growth of Eucalyptus grandis in Zambia

Journal of Forest Research, 2020
Fire has been used to prepare land during tree plantation establishment for many years but uncertainty about how ecosystems respond to prescribed burning makes it difficult to predict the effects of fire on soil nutrients.

Rates of sustainable forest harvest depend on rotation length and weathering of soil minerals [PDF]

, 2014
Removals of forest biomass in the northeastern US may intensify over the coming decades due to increased demand for renewable energy. For forests to regenerate successfully following intensified harvests, the nutrients removed from the ecosystem in the ...

Printed Integrated Logic Circuits Based on Chitosan‐Gated Organic Transistors for Future Edible Systems

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Edible electronics needs integrated logic circuits for computation and control. This work presents a potentially edible printed chitosan‐gated transistor with a design optimized for integration in circuits. Its implementation in integrated logic gates and circuits operating at low voltage (0.7 V) is demonstrated, as well as the compatibility with an ...

Pre-monsoon spatial distribution of available micronutrients and sulphur in surface soils and their management zones in Indian Indo-Gangetic Plain.

PLoS ONE, 2020
The efficient (site-specific) management of soil nutrients is possible by understanding the spatial variability in distribution of phyto-available nutrients (here after called available nutrients) and identifying the soil management zones (MZs) of ...

Laser‐Induced Graphene from Waste Almond Shells

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Almond shells, an abundant agricultural by‐product, are repurposed to create a fully bioderived almond shell/chitosan composite (ASC) degradable in soil. ASC is converted into laser‐induced graphene (LIG) by laser scribing and proposed as a substrate for transient electronics.

Dynamics of rhizosphere bacterial communities and soil physiochemical properties in response to consecutive ratooning of sugarcane

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2023
Ratooning in sugarcane often leads to soil problems such as degradation, acidification, and soil-borne diseases that negatively impact agriculture output and sustainability.
