A sustainable management of environment and agriculture is crucial to protect soil, water,
and air during intensified agriculture practices as well as huge industrial and transportation …

Paddy soils make up the largest anthropogenic wetlands on earth. They may originate from
any type of soil in pedological terms, but are highly modified by anthropogenic activities. The …

Biochars are increasingly used as soil amendment and for C sequestration in soils. The
influence of feedstock differences and pyrolysis temperature on biochar characteristics has …

In addition to the application of macronutrients (N, P, K), there has been an increasing
interest in studying the effects of different micronutrients on growth and development in plant …

Our current understanding of silicon (Si) availability in agricultural soils is reviewed and
knowledge gaps are highlighted. Silicon is a beneficial rather than essential plant nutrient …

Global climate change is a change in the long-term weather patterns that characterize the
regions of the world. Scientists state unequivocally that the earth is warming. Natural climate …

Soil microbial carbon use efficiency (CUE) is a crucial parameter that can be used to
evaluate the partitioning of soil carbon (C) between microbial growth and respiration …

Silicon (Si) is the second‐most abundant element in the earth's crust. In the pedosphere,
however, huge spans of Si contents occur mainly caused by Si redistribution in soil profiles …

Biomass pyrolysis is considered one of the most promising technologies for production of
sustainable fuels. Rice husk ash (RHA) contains over 60% silica, 10–40% carbon and minor …

Coastal wetlands host large and dynamic reservoirs of organic carbon (C) and are also
biogeochemical hotspots for a wide range of Fe (hydr-) oxides with different chemical …
