Soil resource management is fundamentally integral to environmental sustainability and agricultural productivity. The digital elevation model (DEM) is the fundamental data for analyzing landform surfaces, which introduces an opportunity to obtain a broad spectrum of terrain factors to simplify interpreting the patterns and processes in the geoscien...

Locusts are globally recognized as major pest threats. In the first half of the 20th century, the South American locust caused great economic losses. After the implementation of preventive management, large‐scale upsurges ceased. In 2015, resurgence of S. cancellata led to swarms affecting northern Argentina, Paraguay, and Bolivia, prompting contro...

The discharge of wastewater into the ecosystem has an impact on fish and human health, therefore the toxins needs to be removed. It is sustainable to remove pollutants from wastewater by utilizing biochar made from lignocellulosic biomass (LCB) that has undergone thermal degradation. Because of it's large surface area, hollow structure, the oxygen ...

Soil compaction is one of the most important and readily mitigated threats to soil health. Digital Soil Mapping (DSM) has emerged as an efficient method to provide broad-scale maps by combining soil information with environmental covariates. Until now, soil information input to DSM has been mainly composed of point-based quantitative measurements o...

This study utilized an inductively coupled plasma emission spectrometer (model ICPE-9000) to determine the concentrations of Mo, Hg, Cd, Be, Co, V, Se, Ti, As, Cr, Zn, Mn, Cu, Fe, Ni, and Pb elements in the soil samples, and estimate its ratio compared to the standard global percentages. Several indices were employed, including enrichment factors, ...

Fluazinam a promising fungicide, is not yet registered in India. Consequently it is important to study the dissipation of its specific formulation in Indian soil and water. This study focuses on the degradation and residue dynamics of Fluazinam (40% SC) in different soil types (alluvial, lateritic, coastal saline and black) and water pH (4.0, 7.0, ...

Ecosystem functioning is driven by the activity and interactions of the microbial community, in both aquatic and terrestrial environments. Protists are a group of highly diverse, mostly unicellular microbes whose identity and roles in terrestrial ecosystem ecology have been largely ignored until recently. This study highlights the importance of cho...

Improved understanding of the complex interaction between plant metabolism, environmental conditions and the plant-associated microbiome requires an interdisciplinary approach: Our hypothesis in our multiomics study posited that several environmental and biotic factors have modulating effects on the microbiome and metabolome of the roots of wild Ec...
