TL;DR: In this paper, the authors synthesize the current knowledge and recent progress about quantity, composition and turnover of lignins in soils and identify variables determining lignin residence time.

TL;DR: Results suggested faster transport of isoproturon in the undisturbed soil due to higher preferential flow and lower fraction of equilibrium sorption sites and cannot be ruled out that higher degradation rates were due, at least in part, to the adopted first-order model.

TL;DR: Diuron is frequently detected in some drinking water reservoirs under the Burgundy vineyards, where organic amendments are applied, and its interactions seem to be related to the aromatic and aliphatic content of the DOM, determining formation of hydrogen and non-covalent bonds.

TL;DR: The transport of two herbicides, used in Christmas tree production in the Morvan, under controlled laboratory conditions is investigated, suggesting that at the watershed scale, surface water contamination by hexazinone could occur via the horizontal subsurface flow in upper centimeters of soil.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the factors influencing the susceptibility of soil organic matter to priming effect at a landscape scale (5 km²) and found that the introduction of grassland for 40-60% of the time of rotation achieved the lowest susceptibility to primeding effect, and higher indexes of microbial diversity, whereas higher or lower proportions of time of the rotation devoted to grassland resulted in an increase of priming effects.
