TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a concept that shows the current state of art and challenges for monitoring programs, fate and risk assessment tools and requirements for policies with respect to emerging pollutants as a base for sustainable water resource management.

TL;DR: A distinction between potential and actual water repellency and the assessment of the critical soil water content is introduced and highlighted in this paper, where persistence and degree of dried samples were examined from 10 trenches in a dune sand with grass cover using the water drop penetration time and the alcohol percentage tests.

TL;DR: The presence of mixtures of pesticide residues in soils are the rule rather than the exception, indicating that environmental risk assessment procedures should be adapted accordingly to minimize related risks to soil life and beyond.

TL;DR: The Limburg Soil Erosion Model (LISEM) as mentioned in this paper is a physically based model incorporated in a raster geographical information system, which facilitates easy application in larger catchments, improves the user-friendliness by avoiding conversion routines and allows the use of remotely sensed data.

TL;DR: In a soil-incubation experiment in a climate-controlled chamber with three levels of microplastic added to loess soil collected from the Loess Plateau in China,microplastic addition stimulated enzymatic activity, activated pools of organic C, N, and P, and was beneficial for the accumulation of dissolved organic C and N.
