Using Topsoil Analysis to Determine and Map Changes in Ni Co Pollution

Mehmet Cetin et al.

Summary: The change in soil quality due to soil pollution significantly affects the ecosystem. Heavy metals, such as nickel and cobalt, are particularly notorious as environmental pollutants due to their toxicity and bioaccumulation. Monitoring and mapping their concentrations is of great importance. In this study, top soil samples from the city center were analyzed for nickel and cobalt concentrations, and the data were statistically evaluated and mapped using geographic information systems (GIS) and interpolation methods. The results showed that the areas with the highest concentrations were generally located in the center of the study area, indicating increased pollution in areas with high human activities.

Fertilizer effect on some basil bioactive compounds and yield

Teofil Gavric et al.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the impact of different types of fertilizers on basil yield and bioactive components. The results showed that mineral fertilizers were beneficial for basil yield and essential oil content, while organic and organomineral fertilizers also increased yield and oil content. Fertilizer application did not significantly affect total phenolics, total flavonoids, and antioxidant capacity.
