Journal ArticleDOI

An overview of microplastic and nanoplastic pollution in agroecosystems.

TL;DR: The sources of plastic particles in agroecosystems, the mechanisms, constraints and dynamic behaviour of plastic during aging on land, and the responses of soil organisms and plants at different levels of biological organisation to plastic particles of micro and nano-scale are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Priming of soil organic carbon induced by sugarcane residues and its biochar control the source of nitrogen for plant uptake: A dual 13C and 15N isotope three-source-partitioning study

TL;DR: In this article, the role of surface application or incorporation of harvest residues (15.4 t dry weight residues ha−1) and its biochar (5.4 T ) on the priming of native soil organic carbon (SOC), the mineralisation of the organic amendments and the source of crop nitrogen (N) uptake (soil, organic amendment or urea).
Journal ArticleDOI

Carbon/nitrogen ratio as a major factor for predicting the effects of organic wastes on soil bacterial communities assessed by DNA-based molecular techniques

TL;DR: The results revealed that the effects of organic waste application on soil bacterial communities varied with the types of organic wastes, and depending on the rate of application, showed that the C/N ratio of GTW applied can be a major driver for the shift in the soil bacterial community.
Journal ArticleDOI

Plant-available nitrogen supply from granulated biosolids : implications for land application guidelines

TL;DR: In this article, a field trial and a field incubation study were conducted to assess N mineralisation for both a granulated biosolid and a dewatered biosolid product.
Journal ArticleDOI

A comparison of surface applied granulated biosolids and poultry litter in terms of risk to runoff water quality on turf farms in Western Sydney, Australia

TL;DR: A simulated rainfall study was carried out on couch (Cynodon dactylon cv) turf on a Haplic Lixisol soil at Camden in South Western Sydney, Australia, to compare surface applications of a new granulated biosolids product with poultry litter (the current turf farm practice) in terms of runoff water quality impacts as discussed by the authors.
