Background and aims European wheat production faces the challenge of maintaining yields while reducing environmental impacts from agrochemicals. Organic farming is often considered a sustainable alternative to promote soil health and reduce chemical inputs. This study assessed nutrient status in wheat soils across nine European pedoclimatic zones, comparing conventional and organic systems and evaluating management practices s...

Biosorbents from agricultural and forestry waste are low-cost, eco-friendly, and biodegradable, offering abundant availability, reusability, and a low risk of secondary pollution. However, factors such as microbial colonisation can change their surface properties and affect adsorption efficiency. This study investigated how biosorbent loading with microorganisms affected the adsorption efficiency of pharmaceuticals. The adsorp...
