from various land-use types under temperate climate conditions suggest that the amount of brought to the surface by earthworms annually as castings is about 40 t ha −1 year −1 (based on 19 studies), contributing about 0.4 cm (based on 13 studies) of topsoil per year. Under a temperate climate, earthworms can thus potentially ...

Dataset. The analysis of research is particularly relevant given the increased political attention on soils at EU and global levels. This dataset includes a collection of EU Research projects in soils (n = 1101 projects) funded by the successive Commission Framework Programs (FP) for research and innovation (from FP1 to H2020).
SOM stabilization is suggested to be dominantly influenced by the following chemical and physical characteristics: (i) direct stabilization of SOM in organo-metallic (Al-humus) complexes, explaining at most 40% of carbon accumulation, (ii) indirect protection of SOM (notably aliphatic compounds) through low pH and toxic levels of Al ...
With a surge in both hazardous and non-hazardous waste in recent decades, Union countries are losing their quality which in turn affects the agricultural production of their economies. Taking this into account, this study presents the effect of hazardous and non-hazardous waste, plastic waste, and electronic waste on health for 24 Union (EU) countries during 2004 ...
