“…The Brazilian large-scale sugarcane production system is predominantly based on conventional tillage and intensive machinery traffic during the cultivation cycle [6]. Therefore, soil physical degradation as soil compaction induced by field traffic has become one of the major concern among sugarcane farmers, consultants, and researchers [7].…”

Brazil is the world’s largest sugarcane producer with projections for expanding the current area by 30% in the coming years, mainly in areas previously occupied by pastures. We assess soil water changes induced by land-use change (LUC) for sugarcane expansion in the central-south region of Brazil. For that purpose, soil samples were collected in a typical LUC sequence (native vegetation–pasture–sugarcane) in two contrasting soil textures (i.e., sandy and clayey). Soil hydro-physical properties such as pores size distribution, bulk density, soil water content, water tension, and drainage time at field capacity, plant-available water, and S-index were analyzed. Our data showed that long-term LUC from native vegetation to extensive pasture induced severe degradation in soil physical quality and soil water dynamics. However, conventional tillage used during conversion from pasture to sugarcane did not cause additional degradation on soil structure and soil water dynamics. Over time, sugarcane cultivation slightly impaired soil water and physical conditions, but only in the 10–20 cm layer in both soils. Therefore, we highlight that sustainable management practices to enhance soil physical quality and water dynamics in sugarcane fields are needed to prevent limiting conditions to plant growth and contribute to delivering other ecosystem services.

“…Soil today is well known as nonrenewable natural resource at least on a human lifespan because once soil has degraded, its rejuvenation is definitely a very slow process (Lal, 2015;Abd El-Azeim et al, 2020). Soil quality and productive capability can be deteriorated with long-term irrigated sugarcane monoculture (Martíni et al, 2020;da Silva et al, 2021;Taleisnik and Lavado, 2021;Marin et al, 2021). Sugarcane (Saccharum hybrid sp.)…”

“…Recently there has been growing evidence of decreased soil productivity as a result of long-term monoculture of irrigated sugarcane (Saccharum officinarum L.) combined with intensive irrigation and fertilization regimes (Umrit et al, 2014;Yin et al, 2018;Martíni et al, 2020;Ouda, 2020;Wu et al, 2020;Marin et al, 2021). Excessive tilth, irrigation, fertilization and management practices such as trash burning that diminish organic matter and nutrients and soil health have also been recognised as primary factors contributing to the yield decline in sugarcane monoculture systems (Umrit et al, 2014;Wu et al, 2020;Marin et al, 2021).…”

“…Excessive tilth, irrigation, fertilization and management practices such as trash burning that diminish organic matter and nutrients and soil health have also been recognised as primary factors contributing to the yield decline in sugarcane monoculture systems (Umrit et al, 2014;Wu et al, 2020;Marin et al, 2021). With each other, these management practices give rise to dilapidation of the soil physicochemical, and microbiological properties as evidenced by less soil microbial biomass and enzymatic activity, accrual of detrimental soil organisms, increased accumulation of heavy metals, decreased amounts of SOC, lower soil CEC and pH and increased soil bulk density (Yin et al, 2018;Martíni et al, 2020).…”

“…In addition, there are growing concerns about agricultural sustainability and the environment, with recent farming systems adversely affecting long-term sugarcane productivity of soil due to the loss of soil organic matter (SOM) and increases in erosion (Alhameid, et al, 2019;Martíni et al, 2020;da Silva et al, 2021) accompanied by fertility loss and soil degradation in many cases. Therefore, alternative management systems that are more diverse and create less disturbance to the soil have been promoted to enhance soil properties, and consequently farm productivity.…”

Soil deterioration and yield decline are the main factors affecting the environmental sustainability of long-term irrigated sugarcane monoculture. This research was conducted to detect changes of soil physical, chemical and physicochemical quality parameters associated with intensive irrigated sugarcane monoculture with groundwater for long term. Sugarcane monoculture resulted in a severe impact on some soil physical indicators of soil quality as increased the soil bulk density and reduced soil clay content, decreased soil aggregate stability and the water content at the field capacity causing decreases in soil porosity and decline in soil fertility. Significant impacts on some soil chemical indicators of soil quality were also recorded as reduced soil organic matter content and increased soil pH and EC producing soil salinity. Fields under long-term irrigated sugarcane monoculture had low OM values ranged from 2.09 to 2.61% while areas under crop rotation had the highest OM values ranged from 2.62 to 3.39%. Fields under sugarcane monoculture system had higher pH, EC and SAR values ranged from 7.96 to 8.41, from 2.98 to 4.22 dS m -1 and from 7.75 to 11%, while fields under crop rotation system had the lowest pH, EC and SAR values ranged from 7.64 to 7.92, 1.41 to 2.42 dS m -1 and from 4.51 to 5.86%, respectively. From these results, it could be concluded that long term sugarcane monoculture has significantly deteriorated soil physical and chemical properties indicating the urgent demand for more sustainable management practices to preserve soil quality.

This comprehensive review aims to elucidate the state of the art related to research trends regarding the use of brewer's spent grains (BSG), the main solid by-product generated in breweries. Its status, future opportunities, and emerging trends were evaluated by bibliometric analysis, which contributed to clarifying the knowledge and perspectives in the field. In total, 510 documents were obtained from the Web of Science© database in a timespan from 1900 to 2020. VosViewer software and R-bibliometrix package were used to investigate and map the most frequently cited papers, international collaborative networks, keywords, and the main countries and journals associated with this research. The results showed that, globally, 65 countries have been engaged in research related to BSG, and Brazil has been the most productive country, with up to 70 publications. Keyword analysis revealed that the studies on BSG are divided into four main knowledge areas: (i) pretreatment; (ii) nutritional quality; (iii) bioactive compounds, and (iv) pyrolysis. It was also found that a biorefinery can be designed for the complete utilization of BSG to obtain several valuable compounds. In this sense, different technological routes can be applied to produce arabinoxylans, proteins, ferulic acid, xylitol, xylose, lactic acid, butanol, biogas, fertilizer, and ethanol. In conclusion, BSG is a cost-effective and feasible raw material for the sustainable production of bio-based products and bioenergy and its valorization in a biorefinery is a powerful strategy to promote the circular economy transition of the beer industry.
