Spatial Risks of Microplastics in Soils and the Cascading Effects Thereof.

Environmental science & technology
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...

Radiocaesium soil-to-plant transfer: a meta-analysis of key variables and data gaps on a global scale.

Journal of environmental radioactivity
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...

Uncovering rare earth and precious metal in landfill-mined soil-like-fractions: distribution prediction, ecological risk and resource potential.

Environmental pollution (Barking, Essex : 1987)
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)...

A novel method for achieving ecological indicator based on vertical soil bacterial communities coupled with machine learning: A case study of a typical tropical site in China.

Journal of hazardous materials
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...

Unraveling four decades of soil acidification on the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau: Patterns, drivers, and future projections.

Environmental pollution (Barking, Essex : 1987)
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...

Estimating soil cadmium concentration using multi-source UAV imagery and machine learning techniques.

Environmental monitoring and assessment
Urbanization and industrialization have led to widespread soil heavy metals contamination, posing significant risks to ecosystems and human health. Conventional methods for mapping heavy metal distribution, which rely on soil sampling followed by che...

Evaluation of machine learning models for accurate prediction of heavy metals in coal mining region soils in Bangladesh.

Environmental geochemistry and health
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...

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...

Maize yield estimation in Northeast China's black soil region using a deep learning model with attention mechanism and remote sensing.

Scientific reports
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...

Predicting the environmental fate of biodegradable mulch films: A machine learning approach for sustainable agriculture.

Journal of hazardous materials
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...
