Soil organic carbon is a primary contributor to soil health, defined as soil conditions able to support food and fiber production, and providing and maintaining ecosystem services [1-3]. Soil carbon is a foundational measure that encompasses and supports soil physical, chemical, and biological properties, all important for regulating a healthy soil environment. Improving soil carbon can lead to increased plant productivity, water quality, drought and extreme weather resilience, carbon (C) sequestration, and reductions in greenhouse gas emissions [3,4]. Soil carbon has recently attracted attention, to understand climate mitigation potential and as a proxy indicator of soil health [5,6]. Studies focused on assessing and prescribing cropland fertility, typically sample to soil depths of 15-30 cm. By contrast, this study followed the Verra’..... ReadMore -

A challenge of the Anthropocene is to advance human development without undermining critical natural processes. At the heart of this challenge is a better understanding of the interactions and feedbacks between nature, ecosystem services, and human wellbeing, in dynamic and complex social-ecological systems. These interrelationships have been the focus of much work in the past decades, however, more remains to be done to identify and quantify them, at different scales..... ReadMore -

Air pollution has been termed as a democratizing force, but it is far from that, as it propagates existing environmental injustices. Industrial development and rapid urbanization have dversely affected urban air quality due to industrial and vehicular emissions. Air pollution exposure has shown to affect cognitive development in children, slow lung development and has resulted in high levels of mortality from respiratory infections. The elderly is more likely to develop cardiac illnesses and chronic respiratory as a result of long-term exposure and are more susceptible to strokes and heart attacks during episodic high pollution events. Thermal Power Plant has been a major source of air pollution for so long. Increasing health problems has made particulate matter to give special attention by control technology and framing regulations. Sus..... ReadMore -

Municipal Solid Waste Management (MSWM) plays an important role in sustainable development. The motivation for the present study includes the abysmal state and challenges in MSWM in urban India. The concept of zero waste is a latest one for confounding waste problems of our society. Urbanization contributes to enhanced municipal solid waste (MSW) generation along with unscientific handling degrades the urban environment and causes health hazards. The expansion of urban areas, industrialization and changing patterns of consumption results in increased municipal waste generation which deteriorate the quality of environment, posing risk to the sustainable development. The seriousness of the problem increases in a scenario where natural resources are decreasing, and the traditional system of landfills still being practiced extensively for ..... ReadMore -

West Gode area of the Somali region in the eastern Ethiopia has been traditionally addicted and ideally suitable for pastoralism with virtually very limited acreage under crops. The onstruction of irrigation canal in the west Gode for assured irrigation could have successfully hanged the farming system towards crop production. However, the impact of irrigation water is now polluting the soils of the whole catchment leading to physical, chemical, and even biological degradation unless suitable managements are taken. Four representative profiles were studied for their morphological description and other relevant characterization in order to assess the degree and magnitude of the preferred land characteristics as well as qualities. The soils occurring near the main canal are getting more affected as compared to the soils away from the canal..... ReadMore -

Vertigo is a common medical condition that can be caused by a variety of factors. Here we describe a possible cause of vertigo in the Furiosuru region of Japan, the unusual movements of Pseudopandam ebrius. Vertigo has been historically attributed to P. ebrius,and while initial studies found no connection, more recent research suggests that there is a link between P. ebrius behavior and higher rates of vertigo in the local population, although the mechanism is still unknown......
