Sawdust and wheat straw biochars prepared at 300° C and 500° C were applied to
petroleum-polluted soil for an 84-day incubation to estimate their effectiveness on polycyclic …

Soil is one of the most fundamental resources for agricultural production systems. Besides
serving as the main medium for crop growth, soils sustain the productivity of plants and …

Simazine sorption to corn straw biochars prepared at various temperatures (100–600° C)
was examined to understand its sorption behavior as influenced by characteristics of …

Background Copper mining has led to Cu pollution in agricultural soils. In this report, the
effects of Cu pollution on bacterial communities of agricultural soils from Valparaiso region …

A quantitative targeted screening method for the determination of residues of a broad group
of more than 250 pesticides in surface water samples was developed and validated …

Surface water sources are greatly impacted in areas with major agricultural land use. The
atrazine quantification in surface waters as well as the spatial-temporal patterns of this …

This study investigated toluene adsorption on natural soils. The linear partition model was
found to represent the adsorption isotherm well (R 2= 0.958–0.994), compared with the …

There is a need for accurate estimate of soil organic carbon (SOC) stocks for understanding
the role of alpine soils in the global carbon cycle. We tested a method for map** digitally …

Chlorinated herbicides (eg s-triazines) and polychlorobiphenyls (PCBs) are persistent
organic pollutants (POPs) that are widely distributed in the environment. s-Triazine …

Diuron sorption kinetic was studied in Andisols, Inceptisol and Ultisols soils in view of their
distinctive physical and chemical properties: acidic pH and variable surface charge. Two …
