On the definition of the natural capital of soils: A framework for description, evaluation, and monitoring
The unknown consequences and potential impacts of mankind`s ability to destroy, alter, or manipulate ecosystems on a vast scale drives our need to better understand the earth system. A fundamental challenge for soil science in the 21st century is to understand the role of soil processes in relation to the function of the earth system. The rationale for developing a definition of soil natural capital stems from the premise that we value ‘things’ based on their perceived value to human well-being. ...
Bioaugmentation by horizontal injection to remediate petroleum in tight soils
In situ remediation is a contact sport, requiring contact between the microbes and contamination. Clay-rich soils are particularly challenging as the low permeability limits effective distribution of inoculants. While numerous closely-spaced injection points can improve the distribution of inoculants, this approach is usually not possible at active properties. Horizontal drilling was used on the subject site to overcome the combined challenges of low permeability and limited site access to inject ...
