Table 1 Eligibility criteria
Include | Exclude |
|---|---|
Population - all living organisms (flora, fauna, microbiota, fungi, etc.) | Population |
Intervention - construction of soil from mineral wastes (e.g. excavated materials or sediment, concrete blocks, decontaminated soils, mudflow, rubble). The "waste" nature of the materials used to construct the soil must be mentioned or understood with the context. The soil can be built by mixing all the materials or by stacking them in layers - soil construction using only one material that is a mineral waste - construction of soil from mineral wastes to cover a polluted area/soil - soil spray made with mineral waste | Intervention - Technosols (e.g. urban soils) that are not constructed - construction of soil but not from mineral waste - construction of soil using materials explicitly stated as polluted/toxic. If the study tests for toxicity, accumulation of toxic elements, or refers to the potential toxicity of the materials in context, they are considered toxic |
Comparator - other soils or other constructed soils, or before adding the soil constructed from mineral wastes | Comparator - No comparator |
Outcome all outcomes related to living organisms (presence, abundance, diversity, activity, etc.) and biological processes (e.g. respiration, denitrification or carbon mineralization resulting from microbial activity) | Outcome - Soil physico-chemical properties or fertility, hydrological properties - tissue content, accumulation or uptake in mineral elements, metals or pollutants |
Language - English and French | Language |
Type of document - journal article, report, book chapter, conference proceeding article, Ph.D. or M.Sc. thesis, preprint | Type of document - presentations, editorial materials, news, abstracts, posters, and datasets |
Type of content - in-situ or ex-situ studies | Type of content - reviews, meta-analyses, modelling studies without experimental data, discussion or opinion papers |
