Soil degradation is a critical challenge to global agricultural sustainability, driven by intensive land use, unsustainable farming practices, and climate change. Conventional soil monitoring techniques often rely on invasive sampling methods, which can be labor-intensive, disruptive, limited in spatial coverage. In contrast, non-invasive geophysical techniques, particularly ground-penetrating radar, have gained attention as tools for assessing properties. However, an assessment of radar’s applications research—particularly detecting structural changes related degradation—remains undetermined. To address this issue, systematic literature review was conducted following the Preferred Reporting Items Systematic Reviews Meta-Analyses 2020 guidelines. A search across Scopus Web Science databases, well relevant articles study reference lists, up 31 December 2024. This process resulted 86 potentially studies, 24 met eligibility criteria were included final review.

Glasses exposed to soil environments are of interest across various scientific fields, from nuclear waste containment archaeological preservation and nutrient-delivery systems for plants. While immersion experiments provide valuable insights into the ion release kinetics in root- microbe-exuded solutions, they fail replicate complexities nutrient leaching real conditions. To address this, degradation behavior nutrient-bearing glasses (41SiO2·6(10)P2O5·20K2O·33(29)MgO/CaO/MgO + CaO) with increasing sulfate contents was investigated through a incubation experiment simulating Central European weather variability. A comprehensive approach, combining SEM observations EDS semi-quantitative analysis, revealed that acidic peat strongly promoted exchange, where protons medium replaced network cations. The glass composition played crucial role fracture behavior: incorporation increased rigidity, making more prone mechanical accelerating reaction front advancement.

Limited water availability accelerated solution saturation, leading secondary phase precipitation temporary immobilization.

The use of synthetic fertilizers, including nitrogen [N] is an indispensable element in today’s agriculture. Through adequate fertilization, farmers have the opportunity to increase crop yields, which essential view growing population and demand for food. European Union’s “Farm Fork” [F2F] strategy, as part broader Green Deal, aims promote more sustainable agricultural practices by reducing chemical fertilizer 20% 2030. This initiative designed mitigate negative environmental impacts excessive N application, such soil water contamination, greenhouse gas emissions, biodiversity loss. In addition addressing ecosystem concerns, this strategy also reduce health risks associated with overuse, accumulation nitrates [NO3−] crops, can lead formation carcinogenic compounds. By integrating alternative fertilization methods, sector work toward resilient environmentally friendly systems while maintaining productivity. paper focuses on a summary current knowledge about consequences reduction its connection environment, human health.
