TL;DR: A global meta-analysis was performed by using fifty peer-reviewed publications to assess the effectiveness of soil physicochemical properties, nitrogen (N) fertilization, type and duration of crop, water management and climatic zones on GHGs emissions and crop yields under NT compared to conventional tillage (CT) practices, and reveals that compared to CT, NT increased CO2, N2O, and CH4 emissions.

TL;DR: In this paper, biochar (BC) and traditional soil amendments, including press mud (PrM), farm manure (FM), compost (Cmp), poultry manure (PM), and sewage sludge (SS), were evaluated as carbon sources to assess their ability to store soil organic carbon as well as their effects on the bioavailability, transfer and immobilization of Cd in contaminated soil.

TL;DR: In this paper, the impact of lockdown on the environmental pollutants and climate indicators gained considerable attention in the literature, and the effect of these pollutants on the pandemic spread was also studied.

TL;DR: In this paper, a meta-analysis study was conducted using field data (48 peer-reviewed publications) published from 1989 to 2019, which revealed a knowledge gap concerning the consequences of animal manure application and rate, climate zone, and physicochemical properties of soil on GHGs emissions from agricultural soils.

TL;DR: Germany’s successful response to COVID-19 is attributed to environmental legislation and the medical care system, which oversaw significant overhaul after the SARS and MERS outbreaks, and implicates that other industrial economies, especially European economies, that are still facing CO VID-19 outbreak can follow the German model for pandemic response.
