Co-composted biochar derived from rice straw and sugarcane bagasse improved soil properties, carbon balance, and zucchini growth in a sandy soil: A trial for enhancing the health of low fertile arid soils
(2022)Sustainable management of low fertile arid soils using carbon-rich organic amendments such as biochar and compost is of great concern from both agricultural and environmental points of view. The impact of pyrolysis, ... -
Effect of soil characteristics on shear strength of sands
(2018)The paper presents the results of a laboratory investigation into the influence of (a) mineral composition and angularity of sand grains and (b) fines type and content on the strength parameters of sandy soils tested at ... -
Effect of soils with varying degree of weathering and pH values on phosphorus sorption
(2016)Various soil properties are known to influence P retention, but it is not clear which of them are predominant when soils of different degree of weathering are compared, and which when newly developed soils differ mainly ... -
The effect of sorptivity on cumulative infiltration
(2021)Hydraulic parameters of the soil play a considerable role in the hydrological cycle, irrigation planning, drainage, groundwater recharge, and water resources management. One of the most important hydraulic parameters of ... -
Estimating remobilization of potentially toxic elements in soil and road dust of an industrialized urban environment
(2022)The mobility of potentially toxic elements (PTEs) is of paramount concern in urban settings, particularly those affected by industrial activities. Here, contaminated soils and road dusts of the medium-size, industrialized ... -
Health risk assessment of potentially toxic elements in soils along the Central Elbe River, Germany
(2019)Floodplain soils across Central Elbe River (CER), Germany, vary considerably in potentially toxic element (PTE) content. However, there has never been a comprehensive study that links PTE levels with human health risk for ... -
Hexavalent chromium availability and phytoremediation potential of Cichorium spinosum as affect by manure, zeolite and soil ageing
(2017)Cichorium spinosum (spiny chicory) is a wild edible vegetable, and a possible suitable species for Cr(VI)-phytoremediation. There are three approaches for altering Cr(VI) dynamics: reduction to Cr(III) by organic matter ... -
Impact of twenty pesticides on soil carbon microbial functions and community composition
(2022)Pesticides are known to affect non-targeted soil microorganisms. Still, studies comparing the effect of multiple pesticides on a wide range of microbial endpoints associated with carbon cycling are scarce. Here, we employed ... -
Mobility and potential bioavailability of antimony in contaminated soils: Short-term impact on microbial community and soil biochemical functioning
(2020)Antimony (Sb) and its compounds are emerging priority pollutants which pose a serious threat to the environment. The aim of this study was to evaluate the short-term fate of antimonate added to different soils (S1 and S2) ... -
On-Farm Evaluation of Variable Rate Fertilizer Applications Using Yield-Based Mathematical Formulae in a Greek Apple Orchard
(2020)The objectives of this study were to compare variable rate and uniform fertilizer applications in apple (Malus domestica Borkh.) and its effect on production and economic return. In the study, 59.6% and 63.4% less fertilizer ... -
Pesticide effects on nitrogen cycle related microbial functions and community composition
(2022)The extensive application of pesticides in agriculture raises concerns about their potential negative impact on soil microorganisms, being the key drivers of nutrient cycling. Most studies have investigated the effect of ... -
Pollution assessment of potentially toxic elements in soils of different taxonomy orders in central Greece
(2019)Four hundred fifty soil samples of the orders of Alfisols, Inceptisols, Endisols, and Vertisols from Karditsa, Trikala, and Larissa (Central Greece) were collected over a three-year period. In these samples we analyzed ... -
Silver Toxicity Thresholds for Multiple Soil Microbial Biomarkers
(2018)Material flow analysis shows that soil is a key repository for silver (Ag) from (nano)silver-functionalized consumer products, but the potential effects of Ag toxicity, via Ag+ release, on soil microbial communities and ... -
Soil structure of a clay loam as affected by long-term tillage and residue management
(2020)Soil structure is of great importance for a number of other related properties and agricultural management affects it. Under semiarid climatic conditions, soil water for crop growth is particularly important and water ... -
Sorption of Cu and Zn in low organic matter-soils as influenced by soil properties and by the degree of soil weathering
(2015)Copper and Zn sorption and desorption, among other factors, depend on soil pH, but in soils with different degree of weathering the role of other soil properties (. e.g., oxides content and the level of their crystallinity) ... -
Sustainable agriculture systems in vegetable production using chitin and chitosan as plant biostimulants
(2021)Chitin and chitosan are natural compounds that are biodegradable and nontoxic and have gained noticeable attention due to their effective contribution to increased yield and agro-environmental sustainability. Several effects ... -
Systems thinking on the resource nexus: Modeling and visualisation tools to identify critical interlinkages for resilient and sustainable societies and institutions
(2020)Achieving the UN Sustainable Development Goals depends on using resources efficiently, avoiding fragmentation in decision-making, recognising the trade-offs and synergies across sectors and adopting an integrated Nexus ...
