Decoding the pathways of arsenic biotransformation in bacteriaEnvironmental Sustainability - Tập 4 Số 1 - Trang 63-85 - 2021
Singh, Neelam, Ghosh, Prasanta Kumar, Chakraborty, Shohini, Majumdar, Sukanta
Arsenic (As), a heavy metalloid, occupies the topmost position in the list of the top ten hazardous chemicals published by the World Health Organization. The contamination of arsenic in groundwater predominantly utilized for irrigation and drinking is responsible for serious public health issues across the globe. The two most common arsenic species, i.e., inorganic arsenate and arsenite, are toxic...... hiện toàn bộ
Properties of biochar and its potential role in climate change mitigation and bioenergy generation: a reviewEnvironmental Sustainability - Tập 4 - Trang 637-647 - 2021
Abudu Ballu Duwiejuah, Abdul-Halim Abubakari, Yakubu Amadu, Godwin Abakari
The specific uses of biochar are mostly dependent on its physico-chemical properties. Importantly, there are high demands for energy and fossil fuels consumption which elicit a greater threat to environmental sustainability. Agricultural and other waste substances can be recycled through pyrolysis into biochar, value-added products and for energy production. The properties of biochar can greatly i...... hiện toàn bộ
Ganoderma boninense basal stem rot induced by climate change and its effect on oil palmEnvironmental Sustainability - Tập 5 - Trang 289-303 - 2022
Ahmed Abubakar, Mohd Yusoff Ishak, Aisyah Abu Bakar, Mohd Kamal Uddin
In countries like Malaysia and Indonesia, palm oil is a strategic commodity. A wide variety of products are made from palm oil, including food, cosmetics, as well as biodiesel production. It generates export revenues and helps many economies, especially Indonesia and Malaysia. The production of oil palm is influenced by both the changing climate and the prevalence of pests and diseases. Ganoderma ...... hiện toàn bộ
Growth performance and ferulic acid composition of Amaranthus species and Mitracarpus villosus in competition with weeds speciesEnvironmental Sustainability - Tập 4 - Trang 691-703 - 2021
Beckley Ikhajiagbe, Matthew Chidozie Ogwu
Leafy vegetables are important for food security and human health and nutrition. However, their growth, development and yield are often affected by weeds. Therefore, we investigated the growth performance and ferulic acid composition of Amaranthus species and Mitracarpus villosus in competition with local weed species by measuring growth and productivity rate, morphological anomalies, chlorophyll ...... hiện toàn bộ
Assessment of phytoremedial potential of invasive weeds Acalypha indica and Amaranthus viridisEnvironmental Sustainability - Tập 3 - Trang 415-425 - 2020
Dharitri B. Ramanlal, Rita N. Kumar, J. I. Nirmal Kumar, Rashmi Thakkar
In the present study intercropping of two plant species was carried out over a soil contaminated with five heavy metals lead (Pb), cadmium (Cd), chromium (Cr), cobalt (Co) and nickel (Ni). The experimental setup was designed in such a manner that the effluent stream passed intermittently for 60 days through the plant species Acalypha indica and Amaranthus viridis grown on-site after which the spec...... hiện toàn bộ
Sustainable intensification of vegetable production using the cereal ‘push-pull technology’: benefits and one health implicationsEnvironmental Sustainability - Tập 6 Số 1 - Trang 25-34 - 2023
Chidawanyika, Frank, Muriithi, Beatrice, Niassy, Saliou, Ouya, Fredrick O., Pittchar, Jimmy O., Kassie, Menale, Khan, Zeyaur R.
‘One health’ (OH) is a cross-sectoral approach that addresses human, plant, animal, and environmental health problems. The initiative stems from recognition of the convoluted linkages among global health risks and the need for coherent multipronged countermeasures. For agriculture, environmental degradation and biodiversity depletion wrought by heavy reliance on inorganic inputs to meet the needs ...... hiện toàn bộ
