THE ROLE OF SOIL TEST INFORMATION IN REDUCING GROUNDWATER POLLUTION

open access: yes
Will nitrogen soil testing improve groundwater quality enough to decrease the demand for direct regulation? This question is addressed using a dynamic simulation model of irrigated agriculture in eastern Oregon. Results indicate that soil testing reduces

Optimising soil disturbance and mulch attenuation for erosion and runoff control in asparagus crops [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Exposure of bare soil for long periods and onsite compaction create soil and water problems in asparagus production. This project aims to develop a cost effective and practical runoff and soil erosion management system.

Soil Biocrusts May Exert a Legacy Impact on the Rhizosphere Microbial Community of Plant Crops

open access: yesAgronomy
Biological soil crusts (biocrusts) play important ecological roles in many ecosystems, but their legacy effects in subtropical agricultural systems are poorly understood.

Impact of Cattaneo–Christov Heat and Mass Flux on MHD Hybrid Nanofluid Flow Over an Extending Surface With Convective and Mass Flux Effects

open access: yesAsia-Pacific Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study investigates the flow of a magnetized hybrid nanofluid over a permeable stretching surface. The mass and thermal transport within the system is regulated using the Cattaneo–Christov flux theory. The fluid is additionally subjected to thermophoresis, chemical reaction, Brownian motion, and activation energy effects.

Terrestrial plastisphere as unique niches for fungal communities

open access: yesCommunications Earth & Environment
Global prevalence of microplastics underscores the urgent need to investigate the ecology and biogeochemistry of the plastisphere. However, plastisphere mycobiome, particularly in terrestrial environments, remains largely unexplored.

Catalytic Pyrolysis of Waste Polystyrene Over Fe–B Composite Catalyst for Enhanced Liquid Fuel Production

open access: yesAsia-Pacific Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Healthcare derived polystyrene waste represents a growing and under addressed fraction of plastic waste streams due to contamination risks and limited recyclability. This study aims to investigate the valorization of waste polystyrene foam through catalytic and noncatalytic pyrolysis pathways to evaluate product yield distribution and identify

The contribution of soil structural degradation to catchment flooding: a preliminary investigation of the 2000 floods in England and Wales [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
During the autumn of 2000, England and Wales experienced the wettest conditions for over 270 years, causing significant flooding. The exceptional combination of a wet spring and autumn provided the potential for soil structural degradation.

A Preliminary Comparison of SOC Storage Between the Traditional Farmland and Well‐Facilitated Farmland Management

open access: yesEarth's Future
Soil organic carbon (SOC) is central to the global carbon cycle, yet unsustainable cultivation has resulted in a continuing SOC loss and has made it highly vulnerable to future climate change.
