The researches were carried during 2009-2011 in the Agricultural Research and Development Station Oradea in the plots for check flow. The soil losses were determined every year; the biggest were registered in the variant with clean fallow, followed by the variants with maize seeded from top to...

Soil erosion is defined as the physical degradation of the landscape over time. The process is initiated when soil particles are detached from its original configuration by erosive forces such as rainfall. The soil particles may then be transported by overland flow into nearby rivers and oceans....

Although it is a very important natural resource, soils remain understudied by environmental and natural resource economists. During last decades, soil scientists improved significantly their understanding of soil dynamics and functioning. In this paper, we propose a reflection on how soil...

Soil erosion is a serious menace and can adversely affect the soil characteristics and crop yield in the foothills of Shivaliks. The present study was conducted at ZRSKA, Ballowal-Saunkhri, Nawanshar, with the objective of studying the effect of soil management practices on some soil...

Soil protection is key for human security and survival. Not only because it is the basis of our agricultural food system but also because it is the world’s second-largest carbon sink after the oceans. With the growing climate crisis, the significance of soil protection cannot be overvalued....

Archaeological soils (AS) are found in areas where humans have impacted soils both spatially and temporally through technical, domestic, agricultural, or burial activities. Accordingly, the capacity of soil to preserve cultural heritage was widely recognized as one of the main functions that...

In this study, we performed both laboratory and field studies to analyze the behavior of the pesticides chlorantraniliprole (CAP) and difenoconazole (DIF) by the presence of tank adjuvant in soil. In the laboratory, DIF exhibited a significantly higher Freundlich maximum adsorption capacity than...

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are ubiquitous persistent organic pollutants in soil, which have carcinogenic, teratogenic and mutagenic hazards. The effects of RL, nZVI and AQDS on the degradation of PAHs in soil were studied. It was found that the treatment of 5 mg · kg-1RL + 1% nZVI...

Greenhouse farming is a major source of plastic contamination in agricultural soils because it is characterized by the high production of plastic films that pollute agricultural farmlands with macroplastics and microplastics. Particularly, microplastics can penetrate the agricultural soil and...
