Challenges in microbially and chelate-assisted phytoextraction of cadmium and lead – A review
(2021)Cadmium (Cd) and lead (Pb) are ubiquitously present in surface soils, due to anthropogenic activities, causing threat to ecological and human health because of their carcinogenic nature. They accumulate in large quantities ... -
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 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 ... -
Following the route of veterinary antibiotics tiamulin and tilmicosin from livestock farms to agricultural soils
(2022)Veterinary antibiotics (VAs) are not completely metabolized in the animal body. Hence, when animal excretes are used as soil manures, VA residues are dispersed with potential implications for environmental quality and human ... -
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 ... -
Modulation of hexavalent chromium toxicity on οriganum vulgare in an acidic soil amended with peat, lime, and zeolite
(2018)Dynamics of chromate (Cr(VI)) in contaminated soils may be modulated by decreasing its phytoavailability via the addition of organic matter-rich amendments, which might accelerate Cr(VI) reduction to inert chromite (Cr(III)) ... -
Partial grazing exclusion as strategy to reduce land degradation in the traditional brazilian faxinal system: Field data and farmers' perceptions
(2020)Land degradation is becoming a serious concern for the sustainability of traditional agrosilvopastoral systems such as the Brazilian faxinal. The IAP (Environmental Institute of the Federal State of Parana) is favoring the ... -
Predicting woody plant diversity as key component of ecosystems: A case study in central Greece
(2019)The Mediterranean basin is a global hotspot of biodiversity. Woody plants are key components of ecosystems. This article explores the environmental impacts on woody plant species richness and diversity in maquis and abandoned ... -
Rainfed cultivation with supplemental irrigation modelling on seed yield and oil of Coriandrum sativum L. using precision agriculture and GIS moisture mapping
(2021)The aim of the present study was to determine the effects of rainfed and supplemental irrigation, and sowing period (SP) treatments on coriander (Coriandrum sativum L) yield, essential oil content and umbel heights by ... -
Satellite Visible-Near Infrared Reflectance Correlates to Soil Nitrogen and Carbon Content in Three Fields of the Thessaly Plain (Greece)
(2013)Surface visible-near infrared (NIR) reflectance of bare soil by remote sensing devices has been used to infer topsoil properties such as organic matter, soil texture, water content, salinity, and crop residue cover. Spectral ... -
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) ... -
Terrestrial isopods as bioindicators for environmental monitoring in olive groves and natural ecosystems
(2019)Terrestrial isopods (Crustacea: Isopoda: Oniscidea) are an important component of biodiversity as they constitute useful bioindicators for monitoring environmental quality in a variety of natural and agricultural ecosystems. ...
