Journal ArticleDOI
Soil quality – A critical review
Else K. Bünemann,Giulia Bongiorno,Giulia Bongiorno,Zhanguo Bai,Rachel Creamer,Gerlinde B. De Deyn,Ron G.M. de Goede,Luuk Fleskens,Violette Geissen,Thomas W. Kuyper,Paul Mäder,Mirjam M. Pulleman,Mirjam M. Pulleman,Wijnand Sukkel,Jan Willem van Groenigen,Lijbert Brussaard +15 more
TL;DR: It is found that explicit evaluation of soil quality with respect to specific soil threats, soil functions and ecosystem services has rarely been implemented, and few approaches providing clear interpretation schemes of measured indicator values limits their adoption by land managers as well as policy.
Journal ArticleDOI
Microplastics in the Terrestrial Ecosystem: Implications for Lumbricus terrestris (Oligochaeta, Lumbricidae)
Esperanza Huerta Lwanga,Hennie Gertsen,Harm P.A. Gooren,Piet Peters,Tamás Salánki,Martine van der Ploeg,Ellen Besseling,Albert A. Koelmans,Violette Geissen +8 more
TL;DR: This study studied the survival and fitness of the earthworm Lumbricus terrestris exposed to microplastics in litter at concentrations of 7, 28, 45, and 60% dry weight, percentages that, after bioturbation, translate to 0.2 to 1.2% in bulk soil.
Journal ArticleDOI
An overview of microplastic and nanoplastic pollution in agroecosystems.
Ee Ling Ng,Esperanza Huerta Lwanga,Simon M. Eldridge,Priscilla Johnston,Hang-Wei Hu,Violette Geissen,Deli Chen +6 more
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
Evidence of microplastic accumulation in agricultural soils from sewage sludge disposal
Fabio Corradini,Pablo Meza,Raúl Eguiluz,Francisco Casado,Esperanza Huerta-Lwanga,Violette Geissen +5 more
TL;DR: The results indicate that microplastic counts increase over time where successive sludge applications are performed, and stress the relevance of sludge as a driver of soil microplastics contamination.
Journal ArticleDOI
Emerging pollutants in the environment: a challenge for water resource management
Violette Geissen,Hans G.J. Mol,Erwin Klumpp,Günter Umlauf,Martí Nadal,Martine van der Ploeg,Sjoerd E.A.T.M. van de Zee,Coen J. Ritsema +7 more
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.
