Soil erosion is one of the most widespread soil degradation phenomena worldwide. Mediterranean landscapes, due to some peculiar characteristics, such as fragility soils, steep slopes, and rainfall distribution during year, are particularly subject this phenomenon, with severe complex issues for agricultural production biodiversity protection.

Abstract. Heavy precipitation over western Germany and neighboring countries in July 2021 led to widespread floods, with the Ahr Erft river catchments being particularly affected.

ABSTRACT Soil ecosystems consist of diverse microbial communities with great potential for ecological and biotechnological applications. These encounter various abiotic stresses, which expedite the activation transient overexpression heat shock proteins (HSPs). In present study, a soil bacterium was isolated identified as Bacillus licheniformis strain PSK.A1, its growth parameters were optimized before exposing it to heat, salt, pH, antibiotic stress conditions. Comparative protein expression analyzed using SDS‐PAGE, stabilization via aggregation assays, survival through single spot dilution colony‐counting methods under The pre‐treatment short dosage showed endured overall tolerance lethal conditions, evidenced by moderately enhanced total soluble intracellular content, better stabilization, comparatively over‐expressed HSPs, relatively cell survival. findings highlighted that cells grown optimal conditions more susceptible environments than stressed cells, their linked 20 distinct HSPs 17–91 kD. insights offer developing strategies enhance resilience applications including bacterial bioprocessing, bio‐remediation, infectious disease management.

Soil is the main component in agroecosystem besides water, microbial communities, and cultivated plants. Several problems face soil, including soil pollution, erosion, salinization, degradation on a global level. Many approaches have been applied to overcome these issues, such as phyto-, bio-, nanoremediation through different management tools. Mushrooms can play vital role bio-nanoremediation, especially under biological synthesis of nanoparticles, which could be used bioremediation process. This review focuses green nanoparticles using mushrooms potential bio-nanoremediation for polluted soils.

Soil is a critical resource that provides many ecosystem services and highly valued by indigenous cultures as key for supporting essential human needs. Land degradation processes such erosion are depleting soil resources while increased sediment loads impact downstream receiving environments, with compounding effects due to land use climate change. Models required estimate the magnitude extent of impacts on at national scale policymakers catchment managers assess future effectiveness feasibility policies mitigation plans, prioritise efforts. Commonly used load models often unable represent diversity trajectory their hydroclimatic drivers scales.
