Biochar from crop residues mitigates N2O emissions and increases carbon content in tropical soils
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2025 at "Biofuels"
DOI: 10.1002/bbb.2734
Abstract: The application of biochar may offer a cost‐effective solution to decrease nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions in agriculture soils while having the potential to enhance soil carbon (C) accumulation. Biochar can be produced primarily from a… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.71478
Abstract: ABSTRACT Parasitic protists such as Apicomplexa, an abundant group of soil protists, contribute to ecosystem processes and nutrient cycling in belowground soil systems through their obligate symbioses with soil Metazoa. Yet despite the importance of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10661-020-8160-2
Abstract: The distribution of pesticides in soils with consequences for their mobility, bioavailability and water contamination is mainly ruled by sorption processes. Such processes are seldom investigated in tropical soils. Thus, specific interactions between tropical soils… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10705-020-10094-6
Abstract: Intensification of agriculture in the tropics is likely to increase reactive nitrogen (N) losses in the form of nitrous oxide (N2O), however, drivers of emissions from tropical soils remain poorly understood. This study investigated the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s11356-021-18349-7
Abstract: We evaluated the toxicity and risk (via toxicity exposure ratio approach — TER) of the insecticide fipronil to collembolan’s growth and reproduction in three tropical soils, under increasing atmospheric temperatures. Chronic toxicity tests were performed with Folsomia… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s42729-025-02415-x
Abstract: Crop production in tropical soils is often constrained by inherent infertility, acidification, and phosphorus sorption, challenges that can be addressed with empty oil palm fruit bunch (EFB) biochar. However, its use in small-scale farming in… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2016.09.109
Abstract: This article discusses the adsorption of four organophosphorus pesticides-diazinon, dimethoate, methyl parathion, and sulfotep-in soil samples from four sites-Komchén, Xcanatún, Chablekal and Mocochá- in the northwest of Yucatan, Mexico. These pesticides have been detected in… read more here.
