TL;DR: It is demonstrated that biochars are highly heterogeneous materials that, depending on feedstock and HTT, may be suitable for soil application by contributing to the nutrient status and adding recalcitrant C to the soil but also potentially pose ecotoxicological challenges.

TL;DR: The results demonstrated that the bacterial community structure was affected to a greater extent by the particle size fraction than by the kind of fertilizer applied, demonstrating specific microbe-particle associations that are affected to only a small extent by external factors.

TL;DR: In this paper, a harmonized concept for aggregates in soils is proposed that explicitly considers the structure and build-up of microaggregates and the role of organo-mineral associations.

TL;DR: The IAEA has published materials aimed at supporting the assessment of radiation impacts on human beings and the environment as discussed by the authors, including two major publications, Sediment Kd======¯¯¯¯s and Concentration Factors for Radionuclides in the Marine Environment (Technical Reports Series No. 247), published in 1985, and the Handbook of Parameter Values for the Prediction of radionuclide (Transfer in Temperate Environments) published in 1994, together provided a full set of available transfer parameter values for the marine, freshwater and terrestrial environments.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors developed a method to separate different size fractions of soil particles, which allows sensitive assays of enzymes in the moist fractions, and four soils of different chemical and physical properties were dispersed using low-energy sonication and separated into size fractions (> 200 μm, 200-63 μm.
