This preliminary study aimed to visually investigate the presence and disturbance of microplastic particles among soil aggregate fractions (1000- 2000 µm -

Abstract Agriculture plays a central role in providing food security and essential goods globally. Producers must consider manage risk to ensure that the production system its associated individuals are capable of enduring unexpected disruptive events.

The production of landscape mulch is a major market for the recycling of yard trash and waste wood. When wood recovered from construction and demolition (C&D) debris is used as mulch, it sometimes contains chromated copper arsenate (CCA)-treated wood. The presence of CCA-treated wood may cause some potential environmental problems as a result of the chromium, copper, and arsenic present. Resear...
