Soil Erosion Estimation Using RUSLE Method
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers applied the Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation (RUSLE) method to estimate soil erosion rates in an Indonesian context as part of a broader post-pandemic environmental assessment. The study contributes to understanding land degradation risks that intersect with pollution management and watershed sustainability challenges relevant to Indonesia's development priorities.
COVID-19 has disrupted all aspects of human life. To mitigate the impact of the pandemic, several efforts have been taken, including by Indonesian scholars abroad. This book entitled Indonesia Post-Pandemic Outlook: Environment and Technology Role for Indonesia Development explores environment and technology issues and topics related to the COVID-19 pandemic and discusses post-pandemic recovery efforts in Indonesia. Comprising of 19 chapters, this book is divided into four sections. The first section, disaster and greening management development, discusses insights for a better solution in disaster prevention and development of greening management. Second, waste and pollution management development, explores options in development of waste and pollution management such as potentials uses of membrane technology, remediation of textile dyes, biochar industry, and also discussion on persistent organic pollution and microplastics. Third, food defense and security development, explores the potentials of food security and management in utilizing the potential of coastal sand marginal land resources, IoT and smart packaging, and smart food supply chain. The last part, human resource and public service development, discuses developments on management of education system, public transportation, e-government, and health information system. We hope that this book can be a valuable reference for stakeholders, policymakers, as well as society to recover from the pandemic crisis and find better solutions to benefit future generations.

AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers used geostatistical methods to predict and spatially map microplastic abundance in agricultural soil across a micro-watershed with tropical soils in southeastern Brazil. The study found heterogeneous spatial distribution patterns influenced by land use and topography, demonstrating that kriging-based interpolation can produce reliable continuous maps for environmental risk assessment.
Pollution Characteristics and Risk of Microplastics in Soils Related with Land-Use Type
AI summary Read the abstract
A survey of agricultural, industrial, and transportation soils found microplastics in 100% of samples, with agricultural land showing the highest concentrations up to 5,600 particles per kilogram, driven largely by plastic mulch films. Industrial and agricultural areas also posed the greatest ecological risk, highlighting the need for land-use-specific strategies to address microplastic contamination.
