“…This urban sprawl in combination with the climate caused the negative impact on the soil. These results are in conjunction with the previous studies carried out in the region [45][46][47][48][49][50][51][52]. Accordingly, the changes of land properties and the overall land degradation processes in the area should be given more attention to apply decision support systems for better planning of land use.…”

In the current study the processes of soil deterioration over the past five decades was evaluated. Land degradation risk, status, and rate were assessed in Kafr El-Sheikh Governorate, Egypt, in 2016 using OLI and ETM (2002) remote sensing data, and soil data from 1961.A quantitative deterioration was produced based on the comparative study approach in the integrated weighted sum, weighted overlay, and fuzzy model. The parameters used were soil depth, texture, pH, EC, OM, SAR, ESP, CEC, CaCO3, BD, N, P, K. The variables were based on the measurements derived from the Universal Soil Loss Equation (USLE). The results of the implemented USLE in the GIS model-builder revealed the prevalence of severe soil deterioration processes in the region, and include four main deterioration risks: water-logging, soil compaction, salinization, and alkalization. During 2002–2016, soil sealing took place on 36,297.87 ha of the study area (9.7% of the total area). Urban sprawl was one of the most noticed problems that became apparent during the fieldwork during the inventory of land resources in the investigation area. Soil sealing is one of the hidden manifestations of desertification, and it is the implicit explanation for the lost land for the agricultural production process. The study showed that the investigated soil, as a part of north Nile Delta, is a very fragile system that needs to be protected, especially under the effect of climate change in areas overloaded with population, and because of their negative effects on soil properties. According to the results of this study, it is recommended that the same approach be applied to similar agricultural semi-arid regions to help in building a database of land resources for agricultural use that will be very useful for the decision-maker to monitor changes on agricultural lands.

“…Other noteworthy nanoparticles that are integrated into the polymer matrix including palladium and Gold. However, because nanocomposites made from polymers having metallic nanoparticles may have unfavorable impacts on living things, it is imperative to evaluate their toxicity [16]. Composites of zeolite treated with chitosan exhibit potential for use in environmental engineering.…”

The escalating global waste crisis and precipitous decline in biodiversity have emerged as two of the most pressing environmental challenges of our time. These interconnected issues pose grave threats to the delicate balance of ecosystems and the myriad species that inhabit them. This research Endeavor seeks to harmonize these critical spheres by proposing an integrated approach to waste reduction and wildlife preservation, recognizing their inextricable linkages within the intricate web of life. This research explores the synergistic potential of integrating waste reduction strategies with targeted wildlife preservation efforts. By promoting circular economies, sustainable production and consumption practices, and innovative recycling technologies, the influx of harmful pollutants into ecosystems can be mitigated, alleviating the burden on vulnerable species and habitats. Complementarily, robust conservation measures, ecosystem restoration initiatives, and the engagement of local communities can safeguard biodiversity, thereby maintaining the ecological integrity that underpins sustainable waste management.

“…It was reported that over five million sites worldwide have been contaminated with heavy metals [ 4 ], and in some countries such as China, India, and Egypt, a considerable portion of soil failed to meet the soil quality standard limits for Cd, As, and Pb, etc. [ 5 , 6 , 7 ].…”

“…According to the concept of "soil-plant barrier" by Chaney [8], some elements, such as Cd and As, have relatively high solubility and mobility in soil, high transport capacity in plants, and Toxics 2024, 12, 63 2 of 17 are toxic to humans and animals at low levels, such as renal failure and lung and skin cancers [9]. In some regions, some crops such as rice and vegetables have continually failed to meet the food quality standard limits, posing a great risk to the residents living in heavily metal-contaminated areas who mainly consume locally produced crops [7,10,11].…”

Soil heavy metal pollution is a global environmental challenge, posing significant threats to eco-environment, agricultural development, and human health. In recent years, advanced and effective remediation strategies for heavy metal-contaminated soils have developed rapidly, and a systematical summarization of this progress is important. In this review paper, first, the anthropogenic sources of heavy metals in agricultural soils, including atmospheric deposition, animal manure, mineral fertilizers, and pesticides, are summarized. Second, the accumulation of heavy metals in crops as influenced by the plant characteristics and soil factors is analyzed. Then, the reducing strategies, including low-metal cultivar selection/breeding, physiological blocking, water management, and soil amendment are evaluated. Finally, the phytoremediation in terms of remediation efficiency and applicability is discussed. Therefore, this review provides helpful guidance for better selection and development of the control/remediation technologies for heavy metal-contaminated agricultural soils.
