Abstract:
... Between April to November of 2017, microplastics (MPs) were analysed in biosolids from two separate suppliers, and in the soils of three agricultural fields to which they were applied, in Ontario, Canada. Soils of a control site with no history of biosolid application were also examined. High MP concentrations of between 8.7 × 10³ MP kg⁻¹ and 1.4 × 10⁴ MP kg⁻¹ were found in biosolids samples. Lowe ...

Abstract:
... Biosolid application, wastewater irrigation, and plastic mulching technologies are major sources of plastic pollution in agroecosystems. Microplastics may interact with soil physicochemical properties and organisms and negatively affect plant growth. To alleviate environmental plastic pollution, synthetic and biobased biodegradable polymers are replacing nonbiodegradable polymers, but their biodeg ...

Abstract:
... The influence of the rhizosphere on the abundance and diversity of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) has been recognized but there is a lack of consensus because of broad ranges of plant species and antibiotic concentrations across different habitats and the elusive underlying mechanisms. Here, we profiled antibiotic concentrations and resistomes in the rhizosphere and bulk soils by cultivating 1 ...

Pyrolysis temperature is one of the important factors that affect the structure and composition of biochar-derived dissolved organic matter (DOM), which may impact interaction between biochar-derived DOM and Cu(II). Moreover, soil application of biochars pyrolyzed at different temperatures is supposed to cause different complexation behaviors between soils-derived DOM and Cu(II). However, little i ...

Abstract:
... Black carbon (BC) enters soil via deposition of emissions and nowadays also via application of biochar. Recent studies indicate that a yet not quantified part of BC is lost from soil by leaching, which implies that BC exists in water-transportable form (so-called water-extractable BC; WEBC). We aim at quantifying the amount of WEBC in soil and at elucidating whether it relates to biochar applicati ...
