Abstract Large amount of wastes are burnt or left to decompose on site at landfills where they cause air pollution and nutrient leaching groundwater. Waste management strategies that return these food agricultural soils recover the carbon nutrients would otherwise have been lost, enrich improve crop productivity. The incorporation liming materials can neutralize protons released, hence reducing soil acidity its adverse impacts environment, security, human health. Biochar derived from organic residues is becoming a source input provides multifunctional values. be alkaline in nature, with level alkalinity dependent upon feedstock processing conditions. This study conducted characterization biochar pyrolysis process eggplant Acacia nilotica bark temperatures 300 °C 600 °C. An analysis was kinds determine their pH, phosphorus (P), as well other elemental composition. proximate by ASTM standard 1762-84, while surface morphological features were measured using scanning electron microscope. exhibited greater yield higher fixed possessing lower content ash volatile components compared eggplant. exhibits ability acacia bark-derived biochar. calcium carbonate equivalent, potassium (K), (P) levels biochars increased temperature increased. results suggest could beneficial resource for storing soil, addressing enhancing availability, particularly acidic soils.

The understanding of microplastic degradation and its effects remains limited due to the absence accurate analytical techniques for detecting quantifying micro- nanoplastics. In this study, we investigated release nanoplastics small microplastics in water from low-density polyethylene (LDPE) greenhouse cover films under simulated sunlight exposure six months. Our analysis included both new naturally aged (used) films, enabling us evaluate impact natural aging. Additionally, photooxidation were assessed by comparing irradiated non-irradiated conditions. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) nanoparticle tracking (NTA) confirmed presence particles below 1 μm films. NTA revealed a clear effect aging, with used releasing more than but no photooxidation, as released similar amounts at each time point. Raman spectroscopy demonstrated lower crystallinity PE compared Flow cytometry total organic carbon data provided evidence additional material besides PE, photodegradation observed only Finally, our results underscore importance studying aging processes plastic products using complementary assess environmental fate safety risks posed plastics agriculture.

Introduction Belowground bud banks play integral roles in vegetation regeneration and ecological succession of plant communities; however, human-caused changes land use severely threaten their resilience regrowth. Although attributes soil properties mediate such anthropogenic effects, influence on bank size composition its regulatory mechanisms under change have not been explored. Methods We conducted a field investigation to examine impacts composition, attributes, wetlands (WL), farmlands (FL), alpine meadow (AM) ecosystems Zhejiang Province, China. Results Overall, 63 samples close proximity the quadrats were excavated using shovel, placed plastic bags for onward laboratory analysis. The total density (1514.727 ± 296.666) tiller (1229.090 279.002) wetland significantly higher than farmland [i.e., (149.333 21.490 573.647 91.518) (24.666 8.504 204.235 50.550), respectively]. While critically affected WL ecosystems, strongly influenced ecosystems. In buds predominantly dependent properties, but played significant role Root sprouting rhizome correlated with C top 0 – 10 cm layer respectively, depended mainly properties. Discussion Our results demonstrate that alters composition; responses differed among types wetland, farmland,

Mining soil is considered a serious source of metal contamination worldwide due to its translocation and accumulation in various plant parts, causing severe impacts on growth. Results indicated that biochar manure improved barley root morphology compared contaminated soil. Moreover, Pb Cu were highly translocated shoots. Regarding treatments, 10% 20% increased the roots, while animal 2.5% Using 10%, 20%, promoted Zn roots (bioaccumulation factor: BAFroot≥1). According Dickson quality index tolerance index, plants showed high for metals Biochar effective reducing negative effects such as Cd plants. helps increase Our findings provide insight into potential enhance crop production under stress, leading assurance food supply sustainable agriculture stressful conditions. However, future research needed, focusing field scale testing metals' long-term productivity grain
