Over the last 50\uffc2\uffa0years, the most increase in cultivated land area globally has been due to a doubling of irrigated land. Long\uffe2\uff80\uff90term agronomic management impacts on soil organic carbon (SOC) stocks, soil greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, and global warming potential (GWP) in irrigated systems, however, remain relatively unknown. Here, residue and tillage management effects were quantified by measuring soil nitrous oxide (N2O) and methane (CH4) fluxes and SOC changes (\uffce\uff94SOC) at a long\uffe2\uff80\uff90term, irrigated continuous corn (Zea mays L.) system in eastern Nebraska, United States. Management treatments began in 2002, and measured treatments included no or high stover removal (0 or 6.8\uffc2\uffa0Mg\uffc2\uffa0DM\uffc2\uffa0ha\uffe2\uff88\uff921\uffc2\uffa0yr\uffe2\uff88\uff921, respectively) under no\uffe2\uff80\uff90till (NT) or conventional disk tillage (CT) with full irrigation (n\uffc2\uffa0=\uffc2\uffa04). Soil N2O and CH4 fluxes were measured for five crop\uffe2\uff80\uff90years (2011\uffe2\uff80\uff932015), and \uffce\uff94SOC was determined on an equivalent mass basis to ~30\uffc2\uffa0cm soil depth. Both area\uffe2\uff80\uff90 and yield\uffe2\uff80\uff90scaled soil N2O emissions were greater with stover retention compared to removal and for CT compared to NT, with no interaction between stover and tillage practices. Methane comprised <1% of total emissions, with NT being CH4 neutral and CT a CH4 source. Surface SOC decreased with stover removal and with CT after 14\uffc2\uffa0years of management. When \uffce\uff94SOC, soil GHG emissions, and agronomic energy usage were used to calculate system GWP, all management systems were net GHG sources. Conservation practices (NT, stover retention) each decreased system GWP compared to conventional practices (CT, stover removal), but pairing conservation practices conferred no additional mitigation benefit. Although cropping system, management equipment/timing/history, soil type, location, weather, and the depth to which \uffce\uff94SOC is measured affect the GWP outcomes of irrigated systems at large, this long\uffe2\uff80\uff90term irrigated study provides valuable empirical evidence of how management decisions can impact soil GHG emissions and surface SOC stocks.

One of the main indicators of the degradation process is the depletion of the organic carbon stocks in the soil. The organic carbon plays a crucial role in supporting the soil microbial community, maintaining the soil structure formation and stability, and retaining water and nutrients in the uppermost soil layers. Biochar, the by-product of the pyrolysis technology for bio-energy production, has been proven to have the capability to efficiently maintain soil quality and increase vegetative production. At the same time, the inert nature of the biochar enables the long-term sequestration of carbon in soil.

Predictive models, specifically machine learning (ML) methods, are one of the tools capable of solving this apparent contradiction as they allow to generalize toxicity patterns across chemicals and species. However, despite the availability of large public toxicity datasets, the data is highly sparse, complicating model development. The aim of this study is to provide insights into how ML can predict toxicity using a large but sparse dataset. We developed models to predict LC50-values, based on experimental LC50-data covering 2431 organic chemicals and 1506 aquatic species from the ECOTOX-database. Several well-known ML techniques were evaluated and a new ML model was developed, inspired by recommender systems. This new model involves a simple linear model that learns low-rank interactions between species and chemicals using factorization machines. We evaluated the predictive performances of the developed models based on two validation settings: 1) predicting unseen chemical-species pairs, and 2) predicting unseen chemicals. The results of this study show that ML models can accurately predict LC50-values in both validation settings. Moreover, we show that the novel factorization machine approach can match well-tuned, complex, ML approaches.", "keywords": ["modelling", "Machine Learning", "machine learning", "Machine learning", "Animals", "Quantitative Structure-Activity Relationship", "prediction", "Ecotoxicology", "LC50", "aquatic toxicity", "species sensitivity"]}, "links": [{"href": "https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/pdf/10.1080/1062936X.2023.2254225"}, {"href": "https://doi.org/10.1080/1062936x.2023.2254225"}, {"rel": "related", "href": "https://repository.soilwise-he.eu/cat/collections/metadata:main/items/SAR%20and%20QSAR%20in%20Environmental%20Research", "name": "related record", "description": "related record", "type": "application/json"}, {"rel": "self", "type": "application/geo+json", "title": "10.1080/1062936x.2023.2254225", "name": "item", "description": "10.1080/1062936x.2023.2254225", "href": "https://repository.soilwise-he.eu/cat/collections/metadata:main/items/10.1080/1062936x.2023.2254225"}, {"rel": "collection", "type": "application/json", "title": "Collection", "name": "collection", "description": "Collection", "href": "https://repository.soilwise-he.eu/cat/collections/metadata:main"}], "time": {"date": "2023-09-06T00:00:00Z"}}, {"id": "10.1111/gcb.14535", "type": "Feature", "geometry": null, "properties": {"updated": "2026-04-03T16:19:56Z", "type": "Journal Article", "created": "2019-01-03", "title": "Organic amendment additions to rangelands: A meta-analysis of multiple ecosystem outcomes", "description": "AbstractInterest in land application of organic amendments\uffe2\uff80\uff94such as biosolids, composts, and manures\uffe2\uff80\uff94is growing due to their potential to increase soil carbon and help mitigate climate change, as well as to support soil health and regenerative agriculture. While organic amendments are predominantly applied to croplands, their application is increasingly proposed on relatively arid rangelands that do not typically receive fertilizers or other inputs, creating unique concerns for outcomes such as native plant diversity and water quality.

We conducted a global meta\uffe2\uff80\uff90analysis of 92 studies in which organic amendments had been added to arid, semiarid, or Mediterranean rangelands. We found that organic amendments, on average, provide some environmental benefits (increased soil carbon, soil water holding capacity, aboveground net primary productivity, and plant tissue nitrogen; decreased runoff quantity), as well as some environmental harms (increased concentrations of soil lead, runoff nitrate, and runoff phosphorus; increased soil CO2emissions). Published data were inadequate to fully assess impacts to native plant communities.

However, because C and nitrogen (N) biogeochemical cycles are closely coupled, straw return may also affect soil reactive N (Nr) losses, but these effects remain uncertain, especially in terms of the interactions between soil C sequestration and Nr losses under straw addition. Here, we conducted a global meta\uffe2\uff80\uff90analysis using 363 publications to assess the overall effects of straw return on soil Nr losses, C sequestration and crop productivity in agroecosystems. Our results show that on average, compared to mineral N fertilization, straw return with same amount of mineral N fertilizer significantly increased soil organic C (SOC) content (14.9%), crop yield (5.1%), and crop N uptake (10.9%). Moreover, Nr losses in the form of nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from rice paddies (17.3%), N leaching (8.7%), and runoff (25.6%) were significantly reduced, mainly due to enhanced microbial N immobilization. However, N2O emissions from upland fields (21.5%) and ammonia (NH3) emissions (17.0%) significantly increased following straw return, mainly due to the stimulation of nitrification/denitrification and soil urease activity. The increase in NH3 and N2O emissions was significantly and negatively correlated with straw C/N ratio and soil clay content. Regarding the interactions between C sequestration and Nr losses, the increase in SOC content following straw return was significantly and positively correlated with the decrease in N leaching and runoff. However, at a global scale, straw return increased net Nr losses from both rice and upland fields due to a greater stimulation of NH3 emissions than the reduction in N leaching and runoff. The trade\uffe2\uff80\uff90offs between increased net Nr losses and soil C sequestration highlight the importance of reasonably managing straw return to soils to limit NH3 emissions without decreasing associated C sequestration potential.

Soil organic matter declined with increasing grazing intensity and respectively decreased to 64.51%, 65.38% and 82.40% for LG, MG and HG compared to the NG treatment and soil carbon storage exhibited a similar pattern.

The objectives were therefore to collect and compare data from the literature to those from machinery manufacturers on the performances of various forest biomass comminution systems, with the aim of identifying areas for further research. Our meta-analysis was based on data from 55 scientific publications and specification sheets from 566 machine models collected from manufacturer\u2019s websites. A majority, 56%, of studies were carried out at the roadside and 54% of studies examined comminuted logging residues, which thus reflects the most common materials and environments of the forest fuel supply system studied in the literature. We conclude that: (1) Chipping is more productive and requires less energy than grinding for machinery with nominal power up to 300\u00a0kW. (2) Chipping small trees or residues lowers productivities and increases energy demand compared to logs; the comminution productivity is dependent on the type of machine, the nominal power, and the material handled. (3) The energy demand is a function of the variable type of machinery (chipper, grinder), and maximum particle size produced. (4) Productivities in operational studies are clearly lower than the ones reported by the manufacturers in idealized conditions. Further investigations of equipment such as large chippers and grinders operated in terminals under controlled conditions are needed, in order to gain a better understanding of the different factors affecting the efficiencies of large equipment.", "keywords": ["0401 agriculture", " forestry", " and fisheries", "04 agricultural and veterinary sciences", "01 natural sciences", "7.

Conversion to organic management could offer an alternative. In a two year comparative study in central India covering 170 cotton fields, organic farms achieved cotton yields that were on par with those in conventional farms, whereby nutrient inputs and input costs per crop unit were reduced by half. Due to 10\u201320% lower total production costs and a 20% organic price premium, average gross margins from organic cotton fields were 30\u201340% higher than in the conventional system. Although the crops grown in rotation with cotton were sold without premium, organic farms achieved 10\u201320% higher incomes from agriculture. In addition to these economic benefits, the organic farming system does not burden soil and groundwater with synthetic fertilizers and pesticides. However, in this study only minor differences were detected in soil fertility parameters of organic and conventional fields. Altogether, the results suggest that conversion to organic farming can improve livelihoods of smallholders while protecting natural resources.

The potentially available amounts of timber, which are still lower than annual increments, have been published earlier. Access to this timber can be challenging for small-dimensioned assortments; however, technologically improved value chains can make them accessible while fulfilling economic and environment criteria. This paper evaluates the economic, environmental and social sustainability impacts of making the potentially available timber available with current and technologically improved value chains. This paper focuses on increasing the biomass feedstock supply for energy generation. Quantified impact assessments show which improvements - in terms of costs, employment, fuel and energy use, and reduced greenhouse gas emissions - can be expected if better mechanized machines are provided. Using three different methods - Sustainability Impacts Assessment (SIA), Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), and Emission Saving Criteria (ESC) - we calculated current and innovative machine solutions in terms of fuel use, energy use, and greenhouse gas emissions, to quantify the impact of the technology choice and also the effect of the choice of assessment method. Absolute stand-alone values can be misleading in analyses, and the use of different impact calculation approaches in parallel is clarifying the limits of using LCA-based approaches.

Cumulative results for four consecutive seasons showed that most successful treatment H\u00a0+\u00a0M reduced soil loss from just over 100 to only 2\u00a0Mg\u00a0ha\u22121 (or t\u00a0ha\u22121) and runoff from just below 100 to 20\u00a0mm as compared to the sole crop control C. Grass strips were less effective (15\u00a0Mg\u00a0ha\u22121 and 46\u00a0mm, respectively). Cumulative maize yields (1993\u20131995) were reduced by 35% in H\u00a0+\u00a0M, 55% in H, and by more than 60% in G. Generally, the M plot pr...", "keywords": ["2.

The objective of this study was to evaluate changes in vegetation and soil characteristics in areas under overgrazing and exclosed for 5 to 10 years for grazing in a degraded alpine meadow on the eastern Tibetan Plateau. Results showed that excluding livestock grazing resulted in significant increases in vegetation coverage and plant biomass by enhancing development of perennial grasses and sedges. Soil organic carbon and total nitrogen in the 0-10 cm soil layer increased significantly with increasing exclosure time. Soil clay and water contents were higher in the exclosed sites than in the grazed site. The results suggested that the degraded alpine meadow due to overgrazing in this region can be reversed and significant increases in soil fertility, vegetation diversity, cover, and biomass can be achieved by implementing adequate protecting practices.", "keywords": ["2.

Therefore, using molecular ecological techniques, we studied the effects of different management practices (without fertilization, chemical fertilization, farmyard manure, and plant compost amendments) on AM fungal communities associated with wheat roots. Experiments were conducted in a field established in 1996 in southern Mediterranean Turkey where soil productivity is low owing to unfavorable climatic effects and soil characteristics. We determined 201 partial sequences of AM fungal nuclear ribosomal large subunit genes. The higher AM fungal richness was found in the control treatment without fertilization and plant compost treatments compared with the chemical fertilization and farmyard manure treatments. Clones related to Rhizophagus were found in all treatments and accounted for 37% of the total AM fungal clones, whereas those of Funneliformis were dominant under chemical fertilization. Redundancy analysis based on the frequency of operational taxonomic units revealed that AM fungal communities were divided into three groups, namely, the control treatment, the chemical fertilization treatment, and the organic treatments (farmyard manure and plant compost treatments). Although different organic amendments supported relatively similar AM fungal communities, plant compost induced higher AM fungal richness than farmyard manure fertilization.", "keywords": ["2.
