The view of replanting area... The practice of a zero burning technique, both in replanting and development of new areas for oil palm plantations. Usually palms are felled chipped and/ or shredded. All trees and saplings are piled up in the rubbish row and left to decompose. This practices is more beneficial and effective, compared to the slash-and- burn technique as it ensure; - Complete return of organic matter to the soil, which in turns helps to preserve, restore and improve soil fertility (nutrient enrichment)as well as physical properties of the soil. - Replanting can be done without damaging the Environmental Quality (clean air)with effective contributions towards the effort in minimizing the global warming. - Immediate replanting of OP seedlings can be done while felling and shredding are done. #Op replanting🌴 #clear felled & chipped #Minimizes ganoderma (fungi) reinfection. # environmental friendly practices. #efficient & effective technique. #Contractor: Perfect Drive🦺🛠⚒️ @Togulo - Divisiom (MUs/6 flats)/Mosa/WNB.

Our study reveals the transformative potential of coal char as a soil amendment. By incorporating coal char, we observed a significant increase in soil water holding capacity and decreased soil bulk density. These improvements enhance water retention, aeration, and overall soil health. This sustainable approach could boost agricultural productivity and contribute to environmental conservation. 🌍🌾Learn more about this study's results at the following link. https://lnkd.in/ghSbh-x6 #SoilHealth #SustainableAgriculture #Research #Innovation #EnvironmentalScience

Last month, Allianz published a report titled “Ashes to ashes, carbon to soil.” They show that high-integrity soil carbon credits are crucial funding sources for biodiversity.   ☁ “One of the most important ecosystem services is provided by soil as carbon sinks for climate regulation, storage for organic carbon, and aid in regulating atmospheric carbon dioxide levels. Effective carbon pricing mechanisms, such as carbon offsets, are essential to fund activities that improve soil quality and sequester carbon, thereby closing the biodiversity financing gap and promoting economically viable environmental practices.”   🌲 Techniques like cover cropping, reduced tillage, green manure, agroforestry, and sustainable forest management “can be considered 'no regret' moves as they are cost-effective and have much higher socioeconomic values than the investment required to implement them.”   🔑 Soil carbon credits are a necessary and powerful tool to drive forward climate action.   Read the full report: https://lnkd.in/gjYTCBTm   Explore our award-winning climate solution: https://lnkd.in/gyQiN7mi

Groundwater is a vital resource, sustaining plants and ecosystems, ensuring agricultural production and serving as a core component of drinking water supplies.

The EAS Group in Hercules, CA, offers aerobic soil metabolism studies to help determine the potential environmental impacts of chemicals. With access to a variety of soils from around the world, our experts can perform these studies using radiolabeled or unlabeled material at temperatures of 12, 20, or 25°C. To learn more about how these studies are conducted, read our “Five Things to Know About Aerobic Soil Metabolism Studies,” and get in touch with Mark Schick for more answers to your questions! #agrochemicals #glp #oecd #environment #soil

Growing levels of TFA in Danish groundwater … One of the primary sources of TFA in recent years is HFO-1234yf, which oxidizes 100% in the atmosphere in about two weeks to form trifluoroacetic acid, which is absorbed in rainwater and infiltrates the environment.

#welland --- > is your water safe to drink? doubtful. don't drink tap water! Impact of Industrial Discharges: Dickman and Rygiel (1993) discussed the impact of Cyanamid Canada Co.'s discharges on benthic invertebrates in the Welland River. The study highlighted concerns about elevated levels of heavy metals and other pollutants in the river, which could affect the natural biota (Dickman & Rygiel, 1993). https://lnkd.in/g7BAkGV5 Sources of Contaminants to Welland Canal: A study by Labbaf (2021) identified the major sources of contamination impacting the water quality of the Welland Canal, which included industrial effluent, agricultural runoff, and others. This research is crucial for understanding and addressing the potential health risks associated with these contaminants (Labbaf, 2021). https://lnkd.in/gqWFs3kK Nutrient Loading and Algae Growth: Howell and Dove (2017) explored the influence of nutrient loading from Lake Erie on water quality and algae growth along the shores of Lake Ontario, including the impacts near the Welland Canal. The study emphasized the role of regional lake circulation and the Niagara River plume in affecting water quality conditions (Howell & Dove, 2017). https://lnkd.in/gh5dyWnk Aquatic Vegetation Affected by Industrial Waste: A paper by Dickman, Prescott, and Kaiser (1983) examined the impact of industrial waste discharges on aquatic vegetation in the Welland River. The research found significant reductions in macrophyte and periphyton diversity near industrial outfalls (Dickman, Prescott, & Kaiser, 1983). https://lnkd.in/gCHJKDNm Contamination from Road De-icing Chemicals: Howard and Beck (1993) investigated the hydrogeochemical implications of groundwater contamination by road de-icing chemicals in southern Ontario, which could be relevant to understanding similar impacts in the Welland area (Howard & Beck, 1993). https://lnkd.in/g3TWUjrh These studies collectively provide a comprehensive view of the various factors affecting water quality in Welland, Ontario, including industrial activities, agricultural runoff, and regional hydrodynamics. Understanding these factors is crucial for effective water management and protection in the area.

Dispersants: The solution that could quietly damage your reputation. Indicated by scientific research. 🌊 Oil spill remediation is never easy. And the stakes are high: • environmental impact, • regulatory scrutiny, • economic losses, • brand reputation. Our latest carousel takes a closer look at the trade-offs of using dispersants: 1. Do they truly mitigate damage? 2. Or are they shifting the problem underwater? 3. How do they impact marine life? 4. And what does that mean for local fisheries and economies? 5. Are they even the best strategy for your business and environmental goals? 🚨 If you work in oil spill response, you already know the pressure to act quickly and decisively in a crisis. But before your team reaches for that next round of dispersants, make sure you understand the long-term costs and benefits. Swipe through the carousel to explore the hidden challenges and opportunities of dispersant use.👇 And let’s discuss: What’s your take on chemical dispersants? #oilspillrepsonse #environmentalmanagement  #marineconversation #sustainability #FPOilStop
