Orchards account for about 5% of the agricultural land in the world, however the amount of
nitrogen (N) fertilizer input in orchards is relatively large. Little is known about N input and its …

Synthetic fertilizers have been revolutionary in the way that the increased production of food
crops has increased as a result of the application of synthetic fertilizers. Despite the fact that …

Abstract An increased nitrate (NO3−) concentration in groundwater has been a rising issue
on a global scale in recent years. Different consumption mechanisms clearly illustrate the …

In recent years, an elevated concentration of nitrate in groundwater has been a growing
problem on a global scale. It directly shows the adverse effects on human health via various …

Organic inputs as a substitution for, or addition to, chemical fertilizers can potentially mitigate
N losses. However, it is not well known how their effects on N leaching and runoff depend on …

Groundwater is the foremost resource for drinking water supply in arid and semi-arid regions
of the world, and also intake of contaminated drinking water is the major source for creating …

Aging is an important natural process affecting the physiochemical properties of biochar,
while mechanistic understanding of its effect on the adsorbed heavy metals is still lacking …

Natural aging alters the surface physicochemical properties of biochars, which can affect the
retention of heavy metals. This work investigated the effect of biochar aging on stabilization …

Despite its environmental significance, little is known about denitrification in vadose zones
owing to the complexity of such environments. Here, we investigated denitrification in …

Organic fertilizer plays a critical role in developing sustainable cropping systems due to its
positive impacts on soil fertility, crop productivity, and environmental sustainability. Yet, a …
