Effects of bacteria polysaccharide and cationic surfactant treatment on the sorption of volatile organic compounds by soil
In this study, the vapor-phase sorption of trichloroethylene (TCE) and benzene onto soil were assessed using Inverse Gas Chromatography (IGC). Soils were treated with two different methods: (1) Soils were incubated with bacterial polysaccharide (to increase organic matter); (2) Soil was modified …

An Investigation of Inorganic Background Soil Constituents With a Focus on Arsenic Species
… and convenient analysis of inorganic background soil constituent data within specific geological groups in Victoria, Australia. A statistical analysis of the data revealed the relative abundances of metals and, in particular, arsenic within soils of various geological units. These units included …

Copper adsorption/desorption characteristics on copper amended soils
… to determine Cu availability of three Virginia soils amended with Cu as either Cu-rich pig manure or CuSO₄ with the same Cu content as that in manure. The study also assessed the capability of Mehlich-3 to estimate deficient and toxic Cu levels in soil. Application of Cu as manure or CuSO₄ did …

Determining the spatial and temporal distribution of macro- and microplastics in soil and their impact on soil function.
… or the impact of these interactions on soil function. It was the overarching aim of this project to determine the extent of macro- and microplastics in Scottish surface soils, both spatially and temporally, and evaluate the impact of microplastics on soil function and ecosystem services. …
