Stricter cadmium and lead standards needed for organic fertilizers in China.

The Science of the total environment
This study aims to evaluate the adequacy of China's national standards for heavy metals in organic fertilizers by predicting their concentrations in grains using machine leaning. A comprehensive dataset was collected from literature, including soil p...

Soil fertility matters! A new conceptual model for carbon stewardship in neotropical croplands taking climate-smart agricultural practices into account.

The Science of the total environment
Mismanagement of agroecosystems in Neotropical regions threatens global security, accelerating the transgression of planetary boundaries. Therefore, understanding carbon (C) stewardship and how climate-smart agriculture (CSA) practices change nutrien...

Fuzzy multi-objective optimization for sustainable agricultural water management of irrigation networks.

Journal of environmental management
Sustainable water resource management in arid and water deficit regions requires optimal use of water resources due to competition among different water sectors. The purpose of this study is to model uncertainties in economic and hydro-climatic varia...

Reevaluating the Drivers of Fertilizer-Induced NO Emission: Insights from Interpretable Machine Learning.

Environmental science & technology
Direct nitrous oxide (NO) emissions from fertilizer application are the largest anthropogenic source of global NO, but the factors influencing these emissions remain debated. Here, we compile 1134 observations of fertilizer-induced NO emission factor...

Determination of soluble solids content in tomatoes with different nitrogen levels based on hyperspectral imaging technique.

Journal of food science
Tomato is sweet and sour with high nutritional value, and soluble solids content (SSC) is an important indicator of tomato flavor. Due to the different mechanisms of nitrogen uptake and assimilation in plants, exogenous supply of different forms of n...

Ensemble learning algorithms to elucidate the core microbiome's impact on carbon content and degradation properties at the soil aggregate level.

The Science of the total environment
Soil aggregates are crucial for soil organic carbon (OC) accumulation. This study, utilizing a 32-year fertilization experiment, investigates whether the core microbiome can elucidate variations in carbon content and decomposition across different ag...

Unlocking groundwater desalination potential for agriculture with fertilizer drawn forward osmosis: prediction and performance optimization via RSM and ANN.

Environmental science and pollution research international
The agricultural sector uses 70% of the world's freshwater. As clean water is extracted, groundwater quality decreases, making it difficult to grow crops. Brackish water desalination is a promising solution for agricultural areas, but the cost is a b...

Evaluating the efficacy of vermicomposted products in rain-fed wetland rice and predicting potential hazards from metal-contaminated tannery sludge using novel machine learning tactic.

Chemosphere
The study assessed the ecotoxicity and bioavailability of potential metals (PMs) from tannery waste sludge, alongside addressing the environmental concerns of overuse of chemical fertilizers, by comparing the impacts of organic vermicomposted tannery...

Machine-learning intervention progress in the field of organic waste composting: Simulation, prediction, optimization, and challenges.

Waste management (New York, N.Y.)
Aerobic composting stands as a widely-adopted method for treating organic solid waste (OSW), simultaneously producing organic fertilizers and soil amendments. This biologically-driven biochemical reaction process, however, presents challenges due to ...

Dissolved organic matter evolution and straw decomposition rate characterization under different water and fertilizer conditions based on three-dimensional fluorescence spectrum and deep learning.

Journal of environmental management
Straw returning is a sustainable way to utilize agricultural solid waste resources. However, incomplete decomposition of straw will cause harm to crop growth and soil quality. Currently, there is a lack of technology to timely monitor the rate of str...
