<p>In subduction zones, megathrust seismicity depends on the hydrogeological, thermal, physical and mechanical properties of the sediments before they enter the subduction zone and how these properties evolve through the subduction process. In particular, fluids are progressively released by compaction and/or mineral dehydration reactions as burial increases, resulting in the build-up of pore fluid pressure in low-permeability sediments that strongly affects fault behavior through its control on effective normal stress.</p><p>We use porosity, logging and chemical data to characterize compaction state and bound water content of sediments at Site C0024. This site was drilled in March 2019 during International Ocean Discovery Program Expedition 358 in the anticline overlying the frontal thrust of the Nankai margin, a few kilometers landward of Sites C0006 and C0007 that were previously drilled during the NanTroSEIZE project. Sites C0024, C0006 and C0007 transect the décollement and overlying accreted Upper Shikoku Basin and wedge slope deposits. At Site C0024, the main frontal thrust at ~820 mbsf, the top of its footwall (up to ~870 mbsf) and its hanging-wall were logged. Two intervals were cored in the hanging-wall (~0-320 mbsf and ~510-652 mbsf). Four sedimentary facies were identified : (1) the slope apron (~0-4 mbsf) composed of silty clay to clayey silt hemipelagites, (2) accreted trench wedge sediments (~4–519 mbsf) composed of hemipelagites with volcanic ash layers, silt and sand turbidites, (3) outer trench-wedge sediments (~519-555 mbsf) mainly composed of hemipelagites with rare silt turbidites and volcanic ash layers and (4) accreted Upper Shikoku Basin (>555mbsf) composed of hemipelagites and volcanic ash layers. The Pliocene to Miocene accreted Upper Shikoku Basin deposits at the frontal thrust are correlated with undeformed Upper Shikoku Basin deposits at reference Sites C0011 and C0012 seaward in the incoming Shikoku Basin.</p><p>Following previous studies, we use Cation Exchange Capacity (CEC) to determine bound water content and interstitial porosity in the cored interval. Unlike total porosity commonly measured onboard, interstitial porosity is representative of the compaction state of sediments. We use interstitial porosity data to calibrate resistivity-derived porosity through the hanging-wall, the décollement and below. Resistivity-derived porosity is obtained with a resistivity model accounting for the high surface conductivity of clays based on CEC, exchangeable cation composition, LWD resistivity and gamma ray logs. We also document the evolution of the structure of micro- to macropores with depth using low pressure nitrogen adsorption/desorption, mercury injection capillary pressure and nuclear magnetic resonance.  Finally, we compare the porosity dataset at Site C0024 with that of Sites C0006 and C0007 in the frontal thrust and reference Sites C0011 and C0012 in the entering Shikoku Basin to characterize the evolution of the compaction state of sediments during accretion.</p>

Aflatoxins in feeds cause great health hazards to animals, and thus eventually to humans as well. The potential of clays from Arusha (AC), Kilimanjaro (KC), the Coast (CC), and Morogoro (MC), as well as volcanic ash (VA) and rice husk ash (RA), were evaluated for their capacity to adsorb aflatoxins B1 (AFB1), B2 (AFB2), G1 (AFG1), and G2 (AFG2) relative to a commercial binder Mycobind® (R) using in vitro technique. On average, CC, VA, KC, MC, AC, RA, and R adsorbed 39.9%, 51.3%, 61.5%, 62.0%, 72.6%, 84.7%, and 98.1% of the total aflatoxins from solution, respectively. The capacity of AC and RA was statistically (p < 0.05) better in binding aflatoxins next to R. The adsorption capacity seemed to follow the trend of the cation exchange capacity (CEC) of these materials. The CEC (meq/100 g) of CC, MC, KC, VA, AC, RA, and R were 7.0, 15.4, 18.8, 25.4, 27.2, 27.2, and 38.9, respectively. On average 96.3%, 42.7%, 80.8%, and 32.1% of AFB1, AFB2, AFG1, and AFG2 were adsorbed, respectively. The binding capacity of the clays and ashes relative to Mycobind® was about 100% for AC and RA, 50% for KC, MC, and VA, and 33.3% for CC. The AC and RA seem to be promising resources in binding aflatoxins in solution.

Nanoparticles of Merapi volcanic ash and phosphate-solubilizing fungi were expected to function as ameliorants in improving some Inceptisols characteristics. Nanoparticles of volcanic ash were used in accelerating and streamlining the chemical reaction in the soil. Phosphate-solubilizing fungi were expected to assist the process of several soil reactions. The aim of the research was to improve some chemical characteristics like available P, cation exchange capacity, Fe, and Zn content of Inceptisols in Cilembu Village, Sumedang District, West Java Province, Indonesia. The research used a complete randomized experimental design in factorial with two factors. The first factor was the nanoparticle of Merapi volcanic ash consisted of four doses on soil weight percentage (0%, 2%, 4%, and 6%). The second factor was phosphate-solubilizing fungi consisted of two doses (without and 10 g.kg-1). The volcanic ash was collected from Mt. Merapi, Central Java, after the eruption of November 2010 and kept in the Laboratory of Soil Physics and Conservation in Faculty of Agriculture, Universitas Padjadjaran. The nanoparticle of volcanic ash was processed at Nanotechnology and Graphene Research Centre, Universitas Padjadjaran. The phosphate-solubilizing fungi were isolated from Inceptisols in Soil Microbiology Laboratory, Universitas Padjadjaran. These treatments were combined and mixed with soils and incubated for three months. Every one month during those three months of the incubation period, some soils were taken to be analyzed of available P, cation exchange capacity (CEC), available Fe, and available Zn. The result showed that there was no interaction between the nanoparticle of Merapi volcanic ash and phosphate-solubilizing fungi to parameters investigated except the CEC after two months of incubation. There was an effect of nanoparticle volcanic ash and phosphate-solubilizing fungi individually to available Fe dan Zn. There was a trend of increasing available P, and CEC and decreasing available Fe and Zn by the longer period of incubation.

Soil degradation and water stress in Costa Rica challenge the production of highly sensitive crops. This work is aimed at evaluating the physical and chemical changes in sandy loam (SL) and a silt loam (SiL) soil when amended with bamboo biochar while estimating the enhancement of tomato productivity. Biochar, obtained from Guadua Angustifolia bamboo feedstock, was mixed into sieved bulk soil substrate from the topsoil, from Andosol and Umbrisol groups, at application rates of 1, 2.5, and 5% (dry mass). Physicochemical and morphological properties of biochar such as pH, hydrophobicity, scanning electron microscopy images, helium picnometry, specific surface area by the Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) method, CHNS, and ash content were determined. Soil hydrophobicity, acidity, electrical conductivity, cation exchange capacity and water retention, available water content, and air capacity were analyzed for the amended soils. Tomato yield was quantified after a harvest period of two months. The admixture of biochar did not significantly increase soil cation exchange capacity but increased water retention in the range of available water content. Class A (>200 g) tomato yield increased 350% in the SL and 151% in the SiL. Class B (100–200 g) tomato yields increased 27% in the SL but decreased about 30% in the SiL. Tomato yield response seems attributable to variation of water retention capacity, available water content, and air capacity. These results support the use of adapted water management strategies for tomato production based on soil physical changes of biochar.

P element in the form of nano particles is expected to increase P availability. The aim of the study was to evaluate the effect of Ameliorant nanoparticles (volcanic ash and phosphate rock) on P availability and soil acidity (pH-H<sub>2</sub>O) as well as cation exchange capacity (CEC) in Inceptisols Cilembu, Sumedang, West Java. This research conducted in January to June 2019 in the Soil Physics Laboratory of the Department of Land Science and Land Resources, Faculty of Agriculture, Padjadjaran University. The research used Factorial Completely Randomized Design. The study carried out by incubation of volcanic ash nano particles and phosphate rocks with doses of 0% (0 g), 2% (20 g per kilograms of soil), 4% (40 g per kilograms of soil) and 6% (60 g per kilograms of soil). The results showed no interaction between volcanic ash nano particles and phosphate rocks on available P, soil acidity (pH-H<sub>2</sub>O) and cation exchange capacity (CEC). The effect of nano particles of volcanic ash and phosphate rock was significantly affected by available P after incubation of the first and second months. The use of nano volcanic ash particles has a significant effect on increasing pH after the incubation of the first month. Interaction effect of volcanic ash nano particles and phosphate rock nano particles was not significant on CEC value.
