Title : Chemical-soil-biological engineering and biogeosystem technique methodology for long-term environmental sustainability
Abstract:
The current “ecosphere–technology” conflict and poor environmental sustainability stem from an outdated technological platform for environmental, agricultural, and chemical management. At its root, this conflict arises from attempts to merely imitate natural phenomena through technology. Standard hierarchical chemical-technological systems generate their own technological waste and impose a heavy chemical load on the ecosphere. Furthermore, poorly controlled soil geophysical systems reduce overall soil productivity. A critical reassessment of land use, water use, waste recycling technologies, and agronomic practices is needed to eliminate these shortcomings and configure a sustainable, environmentally sound technological framework. Using a heuristic approach to identify this technological development niche, we developed the Chemical-Soil-Biological Engineering (CSBE) and Biogeosystem Technique (BGT*) methodologies.
The primary objectives of CSBE and BGT* include developing: 1) a waste-free chemical-technological system for primary products; 2) a device to improve soil geophysical and geochemical properties by structuring the illuvial layer; and 3) a pulsed, sequential intra-soil system for liquid recycling, soil moistening, and plant nutrition. Ultimately, these methodologies provide fully waste-free technologies, dispersing by-products within the soil architecture to favor plant development while ensuring the economic viability of the resulting biological production. BGT* applies natural phenomena to create eco-friendly technical tools and technologies for the long-term optimization of soil geophysical, chemical, hydraulic, and biological properties. A one-time application of BGT*-based intra-soil milling (at a depth of 20–50 cm) provides a stable, multilevel aggregate soil system that improves soil biome functioning for up to 40 years. Additionally, BGT*-based pulsed intra-soil irrigation reduces plant water consumption by approximately 5 to 20 times compared to standard irrigation. When BGT* is applied during the 20–50 cm soil milling process, the safe dispersion and recycling of municipal waste, industrial waste, and gasification byproducts within the soil stabilizes the soil solution equilibrium, passivates heavy metals, ensures environmental safety, and enhances plant nutrition. Using the BGT* methodology, crop yields increase by approximately 50–80% compared to standard technology. This methodology also promotes soil system continuity, reinforces soil biogeochemical turnover, ensures reversible intra-soil carbon and aboveground biological sequestration, and supports biosphere health and climate system sustainability. Ultimately, CSBE establishes a circular, green-chemistry framework that serves as a foundation for biosphere quality and agricultural productivity.
