Abstract Conventional agriculture relies heavily on chemical pesticides and fertilizers to control plant pests and diseases and improve production. Nevertheless, the intensive and prolonged use of agrochemicals may have undesirable consequences on the structure, diversity, and activities of soil microbiomes, ...
Toxic metal particles emitted into the atmosphere from mines gradually settle in floodplains and riverbank soils, where they may remain for hundreds or even thousands of years. Millions of people worldwide in North and South America, Asia, and other parts of the world reside in floodplains where...
Hence, safe and efficient use of saline water is needed for agricultural irrigation, and appropriate methods and technologies should be implemented to alleviate the exces- sive accumulation of soil salinity for crop production3. Moreover, modern efforts in agriculture and forestry are now aimed at ...

In 1998, an enormous underwater heat wave hit and killed 16% of the coral on reefs around the world. This was caused by the El Nino and became known as the first major coral bleaching event to occur. The next major coral bleaching event took place in 2010 and it was triggered by the...
Climate change is altering the functioning of foundational ecosystems. While the direct effects of warming are expected to influence individual species, the indirect effects of warming on species interactions remain poorly understood. In marine systems, as tropical herbivores undergo poleward range expansio...
Pesticides and fertilizers used in agriculture to increase production are major sources of pollution, contaminating water sources and causing soil erosion1. Polluted agricultural soils have a negative impact on yield, human well-being and economies. Moreover, the global population is expected to ...
Owing to anthropogenic activities, there is widespread scientific agreement that the world's climate is warming at a faster rate than ever before [3], with concomi- tant changes in precipitation, flooding, winds, and the frequency of extreme events such as El Nin˜o. Innumerable studies ...
