Increasing atmospheric greenhouse gas (GHG) concentrations causes global temperature rising as well as extreme hydrological events. Understanding the effects of climate change-induced severe hydrological events such as flooding and drought on soil properties and subsequent GHG emissions from soil has enabled scientists to optimize different land ma...

Floodplains are vital and productive ecosystems that provide essential biological, and hydrologic functions. However, human modifications to floodplains such as urbanization, and agriculture have increased the need to assess the impacts of land use changes on the sustainability of their functions. Riparian forest (RF), agroforestry (AF), and row-cr...

Although agricultural practices and landuse strategies are among the major sources of nitrous oxide (N2O) emission into the atmosphere, managed agricultural soils can mitigate atmospheric greenhouse gases (GHG) because soils can serve as a sink as well as a source for N2O. Peer-reviewed articles on soil N2O flux from agroforestry, corn-soybean, gra...

Land management practices and cropping strategies significantly affect greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from soil gas flux. Managing soils to mitigate GHG emissions has been the focus of several studies in recent years. However, knowledge regarding the effects of land management on soil GHG emissions in the Missouri River floodplain (MRF) is scarce....

According to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, concentrations of atmospheric greenhouse gases (GHG) have increased since the 1950s caused by human activities which have likely increased the chance of extreme events including flooding and droughts (IPCC, 2021). An estimated 23% of total anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions (2007-2016)...

Soil thermal properties play many major roles in a soil as they influence the soil temperature and define the soil microclimate, which regulates many soil health parameters as well as life cycles of soil biota. Although cover crops (CC) can affect soil thermal properties, they are one of the least studied areas. This study compared the effects of C...

Development of revolutionary sensitive biosensors for detecting the presence of harmful biological species in the environment is a necessity for countering disease outbreaks. This work examined the interaction of fluorescence-labeled antibody on amine functionalized gold nanoparticles (GNP) as a model system. The synthesized tetramethylrhodamine is...

Recently, the presence of illicit drugs in effluents from Wastewater Treatment Plants (WWTPs) and the aquatic environment has raised concern over their possible negative effects on aquatic organisms. In this study, therefore ecotoxicological data was retrieved through a literature survey and by using the software ECOSAR. Predicted No Effect Concent...
