This study explores agronomic management (AM) effects on soil parameters under diverse conditions. Investigating tillage practices (TP), nutrient (NM), crop rotation (CR), organic matter (OM), irrigation (IM), and mulching (MS), it aims to reveal impacts productivity, availability, microbial activity, overall health. Varied TP affect quality through compaction, porosity, erosion risk. Proper NM is vital for cycling, preventing imbalances acidification. CR disrupts pest cycles, reduces weed pressure, boosts recycling. OM enhances by influencing carbon, pH, fertility, water retention. Optimizing IM regulates content without inducing waterlogging. MS contributes content, retention, structure, temperature-moisture regulation, benefiting biota, aggregation, health agricultural productivity. The review emphasizes integrated nutrient, CR, management's positive impact fertility activity. Different variations production. Judicious implementation of these essential sustainable agriculture. synthesis identifies uncertainties proposes research directions optimizing productivity while ensuring environmental sustainability. Ongoing inquiry can guide a balanced approach between yields resilient stewardship future generations.

Abstract Soil, as a primary repository of plastic debris, faces an escalating influx microplastics. Microplastics have the potential to decrease soil bulk density and pH, well alter pore structure aggregation. These changes in physicochemical properties subsequently lead habitat degradation for microbes environmental shifts that impact plant growth. Masquerading carbon storage, microplastics can distort assessments pool by introducing plastic-carbon associated leachates, influencing organic matter (SOM) turnover through priming effects (e.g., dilution, substrate switching, co-metabolisms). Additionally, influence distribution particulate mineral-associated matter, consequently affecting accumulation stability carbon. Furthermore, also chemodiversity dissolved (DOM) soils increasing DOM aromaticity molecular weight while deepening its humification degree. The observed may be attributed inputs from microplastic-derived along with organo-organic organo-mineral interactions coupled microbial processes.

The increasing use of traditional agricultural plastic mulch films (PMs) has raised significant environmental concerns, prompting the search for sustainable alternatives. Soil-biodegradable (BDMs) are often proposed as eco-friendly replacements; however, their widespread adoption remains contentious. This review employs a comparative life cycle assessment perspective to evaluate impact PMs and BDMs across production, use, end-of-life stages, providing strategies mitigate on agroecosystems. generally exhibit lower energy greenhouse gas emissions than but contribute greater land-use demands.
