Plastics are widely used in our daily life; however, poor management and disposal result in
their ubiquity throughout the biosphere. Increased accumulation of microplastic (MP) or even …

Since many processes in soil are highly sensitive to soil structure, this review intends to
evaluate the potential of observable soil structural attributes to be used in the assessment of …

Intensive agricultural practices and cultivation of exhaustive crops has deteriorated soil
fertility and its quality in agroecosystems. According to an estimate, such practices will …

A broad diversity of biological organisms and systems interact with soil in ways that facilitate
their growth and survival. These interactions are made possible by strategies that enable …

Trophic interactions play a vital role in soil functioning and are increasingly considered as
important drivers of the soil microbiome and biogeochemical cycles. In the last decade …

Soil organisms are recognized as ecosystem engineers and key for aggregation in soil due
to bioturbation, organic matter (OM) decomposition, and excretion of biogenic OM. The …

Microplastic pollution is a topic of increasing concern for the world's oceans, freshwaters
and, most recently, soils. Microplastics have been found in soils across the globe. Like other …

Aim Macroinvertebrates comprise a highly diverse set of taxa with great potential as
indicators of soil quality. Communities were sampled at 3,694 sites distributed world‐wide …

Most empirical and modeling research on soil carbon (C) dynamics has focused on those
processes that control and promote C stabilization. However, we lack a strong …

The growing interest in the maintenance of favorable soil structure is largely motivated by its
central role in plant growth, soil ecological functioning, and impacts on surface water and …
