Exogenous carbon inputs alleviated salt-induced oxidative stress to cotton in salinized field by improving soil aggregate structure and microbial community

Frontiers in Plant Science
High concentrations of salt ions in salinized soils not only destroy soil structure, but also inhibit crop growth. Straw and straw-derived biochar have great potential in improving soil structure, reducing soil salinity, improving soil environment, and ...

Beyond a Technocentric Transition: A Diverse Economies Perspective for Social Justice in Circular Economy Business Models

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The circular economy, dominated by capitalocentric, technocentric, and eco‐modernist discourses, risks perpetuating systemic injustice because of its limited consideration of the social and of what is possible. In this article, we examine how social justice can be embedded into circular business models (CBMs)—key drivers of the circular ...
