Although multiple biotic and abiotic factors have been proposed, the contribution of soil physicochemical constraints to orchard decline remains insufficiently characterized. This study investigated soil texture, physicochemical properties, nutrient status, and trace element concentrations across seven representative citrus-growing sites in Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, and Meghalaya, encompassing both severely declining and relatively healthy orchards. Rhizosphere soil samples were collected from representative citrus orchards and analyzed for texture, pH, electrical conductivity (EC), soil organic carbon (SOC), macro- and micronutrients, and selected trace elements using standard laboratory procedures. Differences among sites were evaluated using one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA), and Pearson correlation analysis was performed to examine relationships among soil properties, nutrient availability, and trace element concentrations. Substantial spatial variability in soil characteristics was observed among sites. Declining orchards, particularly in Wakro and Medo, were characterized by strongly acidic soils, low available phosphorus (P), nutrient imbalance, and elevated concentrations of trace elements such as nickel (Ni) and aluminum (Al). Correlation analysis further indicated that soil acidity was closely associated with increased metal availability and altered nutrient dynamics. In contrast, comparatively healthier orchards, such as East Khasi Hills, exhibited more balanced nutrient availability and lower trace metal concentrations. Despite moderate to high levels of certain nutrients in some declining sites, orchard performance remained poor, suggesting that unfavorable soil chemical conditions may limit effective nutrient uptake. Overall, the findings highlight the importance of soil acidity, nutrient imbalance, and trace element dynamics in influencing citrus orchard health. The study underscores the need for site-specific soil health assessment and targeted soil management strategies to improve orchard resilience and productivity in citrus-growing regions of North-Eastern India.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":35327,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Quality Management","volume":"36 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2026-07-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148466873","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Nevertheless, this rapid growth brings challenges, particularly in handling the End-of-life (EoL) waste stream, which is anticipated to exceed 70 million tons by mid-century due to declining installation costs and technological advancements. PV modules contain precious and hazardous substances, such as silicon, silver, copper, and aluminum, whose disposal has an environmental impact; however, these materials can be recovered from them. Conventional processes, such as mechanical shredding, thermal pyrolysis, and chemical dissolution, are technically possible, but they have environmental problems related to energy consumption, toxic emissions, and the generation of secondary residues. Up to now, new green ideas, such as ultrasound- induced swelling of limonene for Ethylene vinyl Acetate (EVA) removal or enzymatic delamination with lipase or lecithinase in sunflower oil, are being introduced among the more “in green” alternatives. The process of recovering metals and glass, as well as utilizing silicon from waste materials, facilitates the creation of green building products that contribute to a closed loop economy aligned with a climate-resilient approach. Despite advances, studies tend to be scattered or concentrated on specific technologies and government regulations. This review addresses these gaps by discussing the growing installation capacity of PV panels from 2023 to 2025, comparing conventional technologies with advanced techniques, evaluating life- cycle costs and ecological impacts, and investigating legal policies and regulations worldwide. It highlights the value of recycling as part of a closed loop economy, thereby strengthening sustainability and solar energy as an alternative for climate protection.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":35327,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Quality Management","volume":"36 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2026-06-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148386855","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Three preparation strategies were compared: a standard impregnation procedure, an increased iron-reagent concentration, and a sequential double-impregnation process. Results demonstrated that sequential impregnation significantly enhanced adsorption performance, increasing the equilibrium adsorption capacity by approximately 50%–80% compared with single-step methods. Statistical analysis confirmed that the double-impregnation strategy produced a significant improvement in adsorption capacity without affecting adsorption kinetics. In addition, storage conditions were found to strongly influence the long-term performance of the material. Adsorbents stored under non-inert conditions exhibited a progressive reduction in adsorption capacity over time, whereas samples maintained under an inert atmosphere preserved their adsorption efficiency. Iron leaching during adsorption experiments remained negligible, indicating minimal risk of secondary contamination.

Addressing these issues is essential for developing a powerful Solid Waste Management Plan (SWMP) that can guide waste minimization, waste recycling, and ensure safe disposal of residual waste. This study examines the waste profile and future projections of waste in Odiongan, within a period of 10 years (2023–2032). The data were obtained between March 15 and March 28, 2023, in accordance with Waste Analysis and Characterization Study (WACS) protocols by the Department of Science and Technology Industrial Technology Development Institute (DOST-ITDI), including systematic random sampling, separation at source, and proximate and ultimate waste analysis. Results show that the residential area generates an average of 155.61 kg/day, where non-household origin generates 1123.69 kg/day, which matures to about 1279.31 kg/day. This is equivalent to a calculated per capita generation of 0.65 kg/day, which is consistent with the national average of familiar municipalities in the scale of total population of 51,932. The results of waste composting revealed that the contents of biodegradable materials affect the two sectors, indicating that there are opportunities for composting and the recovery of assets. Estimating the amount of waste that may be produced annually up to 2032 may be close to 4,879,189 kg, due to an estimated population increase of 60,762. This research identifies the absolute necessity of an integrated SWMP that is adapted to society and facilitates further development when sustainable practices have to be encouraged. The research offers an important fundamental point of departure that local and provincial policy makers can use to develop effective waste reduction and asset management policies, which can suit the specific situation in Odiongan.
