Biochar and compost from cotton residues inconsistently affect water use efficiency, nodulation, and growth of legumes under arid conditions.

There is an urgent global need to expand crop cultivation into arid and semiarid lands to guarantee food security. Thus, limited irrigation strategies and soil amendments are promising strategies for conserving water in arid and semi-arid crop production. Soil amendments, such as compost and biochar can improve soil water relationships, nitrogen (N) fixation, soil fertility, and crop productivity.

Decay of low-density polyethylene by bacteria extracted from earthworm's guts: A potential for soil restoration.

Low-density polyethylene (LDPE) is the most abundant source of microplastic pollution worldwide. A recent study found that LDPE decay was increased and the size of the plastic was decreased after passing through the gut of the earthworm Lumbricus terrestris (Oligochaeta). Here, we investigated the involvement of earthworm gut bacteria in the microplastic decay.
