Environmental pollution (Barking, Essex : 1987)
There has been an increasing interest in the pollution caused by meso- and microplastics (MMPs) in terrestrial ecosystems. Mulch film was once considered to be the most important source of MMPs in the mulching cultivated soil. However, the academic community has not given sufficient scientific evidence. In this study, stratified random sampling met...

To estimate spatial distribution, source analysis and uncertainty of heavy metals (Pb, Cd, Cr, Hg, As, Cu, Zn, and Ni) based on geographic information system (GIS), positive matrix factorization model (PMF) and bootstrap (BS) using 382 soil samples collected from cultivated soils in Lanzhou. The mean contents of Cd, Hg, Cu, Zn and Ni were high as 1...

Soils in large areas of China are enriched in fluorine (F). The present study analyzed F concentrations in cultivated soil, water, chemical fertilizer, and human hair, and metal concentrations in soils from an endemic fluorosis area in Southwest, China. In order to reveal the effects of industry on F concentration in the environment, 3 towns mainly...

In order to assess the impact of deforestation—cultivation on soil quality attributes of Mollisols under native forest, 8 soil pedons and 32 soil cores were described and sampled from four different soil types of forest and adjacent cultivated soil on a transect. Deforestation and subsequent cultivation have resulted in a remarkable change in the m...

Gravel and sand mulching is an indigenous technology used for the crop yield for at least 300 years in the loess area of northwest China; however, little is known about the changes of soil bacterial community and metabolic capability under the mulching. In this study, we investigated the soil microbial community structure and metabolic functional d...

To assess effects of long-term agricultural practices on iron (Fe) oxide forms, 12 soil pedons belonging to six soil subgroups from the cultivated soils and the adjoining uncultivated soils were described and sampled. Soil samples were analyzed for physicochemical properties, mineralogical compounds, and different status of Fe oxides including free...

The microbial biomass carbon (MBC) and carbon mineralization of fly ash (FA) amended soil at (0 %, 1.25 %, 2.5 %, 5 %, 10 % and 20 % FA; v/v) was investigated under laboratory conditions for 120 days at 60 % soil water-holding capacity and 25 ± 1°C temperature. The results demonstrated that soil respiration and microbial activities were not suppres...

Land-use change from one type to another affects soil carbon (C) stocks which is associated with fluxes of CO2 to the atmosphere. The 10-years converted land selected from previously cultivated land in hilly areas of Sichuan, China was studied to understand the effects of land-use conversion on soil organic casrbon (SOC) sequestration under landsca...

Shallow groundwater and cultivated soil samples were collected from the area within Köprübaşı U mineralization and analyzed to determine U and selected heavy metals (Fe, Mn, Cu, As, Pb, Zn, Cr, Co and Ba). After this, the suitability of the shallow groundwater and soil samples were evaluated for irrigation, livestock watering and agricultural use, ...
