Microplastic (MP) pollution has become a significant global concern in soil systems. The spatial risk of MPs in soils, the cascading effects of climate, human activities, and air quality, and the ecosystem gradients from natural habitats, agricultura...

A harmonized, publicly accessible database of worldwide observations and experiments on radiocaesium transfer from soil to plants is lacking. Such a database is needed for evaluating and establishing transfer models, especially for regions with limit...
Environmental pollution (Barking, Essex : 1987)
May 5, 2025
The introduction of rare earth elements (REEs) and precious metals (PMs) containing wastes in aged landfills leads to a significant pollutant and resource potential. Against this backdrop, the accumulation of REEs and PMs in soil-like-fractions (SLF)...
Global industrialization has resulted in severe contamination of soil with heavy metals (HMs). Nevertheless, it is unclear if it affects the depth-resolved bacterial communities. Herein, we collected soil samples at different depths from a typical HM...

May 2, 2025
Soil acidification poses escalating threats to ecosystem functions, yet its spatiotemporal dynamics and drivers across vulnerable high-altitude regions remain poorly resolved. Here, we integrate four-decade soil surveys (1980s-2020s) with machine lea...
Environmental monitoring and assessment

Coal mining soils are highly susceptible to heavy metal pollution due to the discharge of mine tailings, overburden dumps, and acid mine drainage. Developing a reliable predictive model for heavy metal concentrations in this region has proven to be a...
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...
Accurate prediction of maize yields is crucial for effective crop management. In this paper, we propose a novel deep learning framework (CNNAtBiGRU) for estimating maize yield, which is applied to typical black soil areas in Northeast China. This fra...
Biodegradable plastic mulch films (BDM) have been proposed as one of the dominant strategies for plastic pollution prevention in agriculture. As the BDM degradation is a complex process affected by multiple factors, the degradation cycle of BDM has s...
