Reliable geochemical baselines are largely absent for northern Ghana, limiting efforts to distinguish natural element variability from human-induced contamination. This study addresses that gap by evaluating soil geochemical compositions in the Bongo...
Conventional herbicide recommendations seldom consider soil physicochemical attributes beyond texture, overlooking key factors that govern bioavailability and environmental fate. This study presents an integrated framework for optimizing the doses of...
BACKGROUND: Heavy metal contamination in agricultural soils disrupts plant growth and metabolism. Although zinc (Zn) is a necessary element, concentrations above 50 ppm can be toxic to plants. Grafting has emerged as a potential strategy to mitigate ...
Environmental pollution (Barking, Essex : 1987)

This study assesses soil contamination along the Zarqa River (ZR) in Jordan by integrating pollution indices, geostatistical interpolation, and machine learning models. We collected 34 soil samples from agricultural lands within the study area. Sampl...
Efficient spatial prediction models for soil heavy metals are crucial for maintaining soil ecosystem health, promoting high-quality regional agriculture, and national food security. Traditional machine learning (ML) models often overlook spatial auto...
Information on the biodegradation potential of organic chemicals in the ecosystem helps us analyze their persistence, bioaccumulation, and toxicity (PBT) behaviour. The environment is exposed to many chemicals from various sources, both intentionally...
