DOI: 10.1007/s11368-018-2142-9
Abstract: PurposeAnthropogenic activities lead to soil degradation and loss of biodiversity, but also contribute to the creation of novel ecosystems. Pedological engineering aims at constructing Technosols with wastes and by-products to reclaim derelict sites and to… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/jisesa/ieac005
Abstract: Abstract To fully understand microplastics' impact on soil ecosystems, one must recognize soil organisms as not just passively enduring their negative effects, but potentially contributing to microplastics' formation, distribution, and dynamics in soil. We investigated… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/agronomy11010080
Abstract: Petroleum-derived substances (PDSs) as main pollutants of the natural environment can negatively affect the microbiological, biochemical, and biological properties of agricultural soils and, consequently, plant production. The present study aimed to determine the after-effect of… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/nano9081087
Abstract: Soil invertebrates have been widely used in ecotoxicology studies for decades, although their use as in vitro models, albeit promising, has not been pursued as much. The immune cells of earthworms (coelomocytes) and the coelomic… read more here.
