Abstract:

Soil degradation, affecting around 38% of the world's cropland, threatens the global food supply. Due to the soil's complexity, the measure of soil degradation that involves the loss of soil fertility due to crop system management processes represents an unsolved problem. Exergy is a property with the potential to be used in soil fertility and/or degradation analysis. A methodology to determine the exergy value fenced in a fertile soil due to its inorganic and organic components is established in this study and will be applied to evaluate soil fertility, degradation, and quality.

Abstract:

The presence of a noticeable rate of degradation in the land of the Nile Delta reduces the efficiency of crop production and hinders supply of the increasing demand of its growing population. For this purpose, knowledge of soil resources and their agricultural potential is important for determining their proper use and appropriate management. Thus, we investigated the state of soil fertility by understanding the effect of the physical and chemical properties of the soil and their impact on the state of land degradation for the years 1985, 2002 (ancillary data), and 2021 (our investigation).

Abstract:

Soil is a real treasure that humans cannot live without. Therefore, it is very important to sustain and conserve soils to guarantee food, fiber, fuel, and other human necessities. Healthy or high-quality soils that include adequate fertility, diverse ecosystems, and good physical properties are important to allow soil to produce healthy food in support of human health. When a soil suffers from degradation, the soil’s productivity decreases. Soil restoration refers to the reversal of degradational processes. This study is a pictorial review on the nano-restoration of soil to return its fertilit

Abstract:

Today, as a result of global climate change, the loss of one of the main indicators of soil fertility-humus, namely, dehumification, leads to an acceleration of processes such as a decrease in fertility, erosion, and desertification. According to the FAO international organization, about 33% of the world's soils are subject to degradation to varying degrees. The main environmental problem of nature management and the effectiveness of biological resources is soil degradation. Along with other soils of the continent, soils of Uzbekistan are also subject to degradation.

Meeting the goal of long–term agricultural productivity requires that soil degradation be halted and reversed.

There is evidence that the contribution of declining soil fertility to soil degradation has been underestimated. Sensitivity to soil degradation is implicit in the assessment of the sustainability of land management practices, with wide recognition of the fact that soils vary in their ability to resist change and recover subsequent to stress.

Abstract:

The article analyzes the state and dynamics of soil fertility in Bashkiria and the prospects for its reproduction and maintenance. It is emphasized that despite the fact that soils are the main strategic non-renewable natural resource, currently there is an unacceptably low attention of both land users and government structures to their sustainable use. Soils degrade, humus and nutrient imbalances deteriorate, physical properties deteriorate, and as a result, unstable fertility with high fertility potential. The Republic's soil has been thoroughly studied, the main causes and extent of degrada

Increasing climate aridization and anthropogenic load were associated with soil salinization and desertification and pasture digression. The structure of soil cover is found to be is complex because of its micro-relief, high mineralization of groundwater (2-6 g/l), close bedding of groundwater to soil surface, the saline composition of parent rocks, and anthropogenic impacts including vir

Abstract:

Sustainable soil fertility management is crucial for global food security and addressing environmental challenges from modern agriculture. Soil health, alongside water availability, is essential for crop productivity, and soil degradation threatens food security by lowering yields and intensifying climate change. Nitrogen (N) cycling is central to soil fertility, supporting plant growth through nutrient replenishment and microbial activity. However, N is often lost through leaching, volatilization, and denitrification, reducing nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) and contributing to water pollution

Abstract:

Soil degradation, characterised by a deterioration in quality and a drop in ecosystem products and services, is a key impediment to obtaining the necessary increase in agricultural productivity. Soil is a living and dynamic organism that degrades when standard agricultural practices are used. Healthy soil is a crucial pillar of sustainability because it provides various ecosystem services in addition to controlling microbial activity, nutrient recovery, and decomposition. In human time spans, soil is a non-renewable resource that is vulnerable to deterioration due to complex interactions betwe

The work presents the formation of a system for assessing soil fertility and plant development using test monitoring polygons. Monitoring polygons became the basis for the introduction of modern technologies to increase plant productivity and soil fertility. The monitoring sites were located in the main agro-climatic regions of the Leningrad Region on soil types typical for the respective region. Analysis of the dynamics of the main parameters of soil fertility in test plots shows a tendency towards a decrease in the content of mobile forms of potassium and acidification of soils, as well as o

However, prevailing sustainability assessment methodologies in agriculture often overlook soil systems due to their intricate nature. This study aims to develop a methodology for evaluating soil degradation in agricultural practices using exergy regeneration costs. These costs determine the exergy required to restore soil fertility to pre-harvest levels. The methodology covers key soil factors like nutrients, organic matter, and prevalent issues like salin

Modern land-tenancy relations do not contribute to the implementation of measures to protect and increase soil fertility and have a negative effect on their fertility. In the process of using the soil cover, the needs and requirements of the ecobalance are ignored, as a result of which agricultural land is exhaustingl

Abstract:

Abstract Bauxite is one of the minerals mined in an open pit system. Mining with this system will initially cause soil degradation because the soil layer covering the bauxite ore will be removed first from the mining location. The top soil will be returned after the bauxite ore extraction is complete. Returning soil to the mining site causes quite severe soil degradation because the process of taking and returning the top soil is carried out by an excavator which mixes the soil. As a result of this process, the soil in the reclamation area changes its chemical, physical and biological properti

Agronomically important groups of microorganisms that participate in the nitrogen and carbon cycle play an important role in soil fertility. By the number of these organisms, it is possible to indicate the state of the soil and characterize the direction of the processes occurring in it. In this regard, it seemed to us necessary to carry out a quantitative account of the main physiological groups of microorganisms involved in the transform
