Herbal plants- and rice straw-derived biochars reduced metal mobilization in fishpond sediments and improved their potential as fertilizers
(
Elsevier
, 2022 , Article)
Fishpond sediments are rich in organic carbon and nutrients; thus, they can be used as potential fertilizers and soil conditioners. However, sediments can be contaminated with toxic elements (TEs), which have to be immobilized ...
Global maps of soil temperature
(
Wiley
, 2022 , Article)
Research in global change ecology relies heavily on global climatic grids derived from estimates of air temperature in open areas at around 2 m above the ground. These climatic grids do not reflect conditions below vegetation ...
Effects of Coupling Water and Fertilizer on Agronomic Traits, Sugar Content and Yield of Sugarcane in Guangxi, China
(
MDPI
, 2022 , Article)
This work is a contribution to applied water and fertilizer coupling efforts aiming at increasing crop productivity on sugarcane plantations through the analysis of average cane yields obtained following main agronomic ...
Quantification of ecosystem services providing socio-economic benefits to customary owners of natural resources in Pauri, western Himalaya
(
Elsevier
, 2022 , Article)
Climate change has negative consequences for the biophysical environment and an observable impact on flows of ecosystem services. Considering the high relevance of ecosystem services, it is imperative to analyze the present ...
Distribution, pollution, and human health risks of persistent and potentially toxic elements in the sediments around Hainan Island, China
(
Elsevier
, 2022 , Article)
Human activities have changed the global concentration of potentially toxic elements (PTEs) and significantly altered the marine ecosystem. Little is known about the concentrations of these PTEs around Hainan Island in ...
Impacts of environment and human activity on grid-scale land cropping suitability and optimization of planting structure, measured based on the MaxEnt model
(
Elsevier
, 2022 , Article)
Making full use of agricultural resource endowment, determining the planting suitability of areas for different crops according to the environment and human activities, and optimizing planting structure are important ways ...
A Comprehensive Literature Review on Cadmium (Cd) Status in the Soil Environment and Its Immobilization by Biochar-Based Materials
(
MDPI
, 2022 , Article)
Cadmium, Cd(II) pollution of soils is a serious environmental and agricultural issue, posing a threat to crop production, environmental quality, food safety, and human health. Therefore, immobilization of Cd(II) in soils ...
A green method for removing chromium (VI) from aqueous systems using novel silicon nanoparticles: Adsorption and interaction mechanisms
(
Elsevier
, 2022 , Article)
In the present study, we used the horsetail plant (Equisetum arvense) as a green source to synthesize silicon nanoparticles (GS-SiNPs), considering that it could be an effective adsorbent for removing chromium (Cr (VI)) ...
Arbuscular Mycorrhiza Fungi Integrated with Single Super Phosphate Improve Wheat-nitrogen-phosphorus Acquisition, Yield, Root Infection Activity, and Spore Density in Alkaline-calcareous Soil
(
Springer
, 2022 , Article)
The potential productivity of calcareous soils is high when adequate nutrients can be available. However, these soils are frequently deficient in nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) and cannot meet plant nutrient requirements. ...
The Adsorption Potential of Cr from Water by ZnO Nanoparticles Synthesized by Azolla pinnata
(2022 , Article)
Aqueous solutions containing toxic elements (TEs) (such as hexavalent chromium (Cr (VI)) can be toxic to humans even at trace levels. Thus, removing TEs from the aqueous environment is essential for the protection of ...
