Abstract:
... Bioremediation based on microbial induced carbonate precipitation (MICP) was conducted in Cd-contaminated seleniferous soils with objective to investigate effects of MICP on the fates of Cd and Se in soils. Results showed that soil indigenous microorganisms could induce MICP process to stabilize Cd and mobilize Se without inputting exogenous urease-producing strain. After remediation, soluble Cd ( ...

Abstract:
... The scientific application of stabilized materials has been considered an effective method for the in situ remediation of Cd-contaminated soil. This study aimed to investigate the persistence of the effect of a combined amendment of limestone and sepiolite (LS) on soil Cd availability and accumulation in rice grown in a mildly Cd-contaminated paddy field (0.45 mg/kg of Cd) over three consecutive r ...

Abstract:
... The effect of reaction between soil and phosphate on pH has not previously been explored or explained. We incubated samples of a soil with calcium carbonate to give a range of pHCaCl2 from 4.2 to 7.2, and then measured the change in pH when these samples were reacted with phosphate solutions. These solutions were at the same pH as the soil to which they were added. We also measured exchangeable ca ...

Abstract:
... The purpose of developing this high throughput assay was to determine whether there was evidence of pH adaptation in strains of rhizobia which nodulate subterranean clover (SC) and white clover (WC), and whether this was related to the pH of the soil of origin. pH is a first-order factor influencing the niche preferences of soil microorganisms and has been convincingly shown to be a key driver of ...

Abstract:
... Because of unusually high cadmium concentrations in the soil, the risk screening values of soil Cd in the existing standard is not applicable to the Cd high geological background areas. The aim of our study is to explore recommended risk screening values applicable for Cd high geological background areas of Guangxi, China, to help locals with land management and guarantee the quality and safety of ...

Abstract:
... To increase soybean actual yields (Yₐ), modern farmers are interested in exploring novel intensification options. We hypothesize that the inclusion of a high-input treatment in high-productivity systems may potentially reduce yield gaps (Yg), representing additional profits for farmers. Our objectives were to: (i) estimate Yₐ, water-limited yield potential (Ywₗᵢₘ), and Yg; (ii) evaluate a high-inp ...

Abstract:
... Drivers of soil-dwelling microarthropods represent one of the most addressed topics in soil ecology, and diverse results have been reported in the literature. In the present study, an extremely long-term fertilised monoculture system provided a special opportunity to investigate the drivers of soil-dwelling springtail and mite assemblages. The cropping system included wheat and maize monoculture a ...

Abstract:
... The influence of biotic and abiotic factors on viral communities across environmental gradients in soil is relatively unknown. While soil pH strongly influences microbial community structure, it is unclear whether there is a similar influence on soil viruses. In this study, prokaryotic and viral communities were characterized in soils from a long-term pH-manipulated soil gradient (pH 4.5 and 7.5), ...

Abstract:
... It is well established that grassland degradation negatively affects ecosystem functioning. Many studies have explored the changes of individual functions involved with grassland degradation, while fewer considered an ecosystem multifunctionality (EMF) summarizing the multiple simultaneous changes in the response of ecosystem functions to grassland degradation. Further, how changes in multiple eco ...

Abstract:
... Manure fertilization contributes to crop production and sustainable agriculture by introducing large amounts of nutrients and exogenous microbes into soil. However, the contribution of exogenous microbes in shaping soil bacterial community and network structure after fertilization are still controversial. In this study, bacterial communities and network structure that received unsterilized (R + C) ...

Abstract:
... A comprehensive evaluation of the impact of forest harvest on soil N₂O flux at the global scale is currently unavailable. In this study, by using a global meta-analysis of 64 observations from 29 peer-reviewed publications over the last 30 years, we elucidated how forest harvest impacted soil N₂O flux and related soil properties. Intensive forest harvest significantly increased soil N₂O flux with ...

Abstract:
... The application time and soil pH are key to manganese (Mn) bioavailability, which may influence Mn effects on cadmium (Cd) accumulation in rice. Accordingly, this study investigated the effects of Mn application at different stages, alone or with basal liming, on Cd accumulation in rice through pot and field experiments. The results showed that basal Mn application maximally elevated soil dissolve ...

Abstract:
... Nano zero-valent iron (nZVI) is used for soil remediation; however, the impact of nZVI on soil solid iron phases and its interactions with soil microorganisms in relation to the fate of Cd in soil remains unclear. In the current study, we investigated the mechanisms underlying the change in mobility of Cd in exogenous Cd-contaminated soil with nZVI and γ radiation treatments. The results showed th ...

Abstract:
... In the present study, the viability of using manure (M), lime (L), and sepiolite (S) alone and in combinations (M/L, M/S, and M/L/S) was evaluated for the remediation of a red paddy soil artificially contaminated with three levels of cadmium (Cd- 0.6, 1, and 2 mg kg⁻¹ soil). Experiments were performed in columns (to evaluate Cd leaching) and pots by growing rice plants (to study Cd accumulation in ...

Abstract:
... The effects of biochar application on soil properties have been widely discussed in the literature. As its effect is known to weaken over time, its reapplication may be beneficial in ameliorating the soil properties, including soil structure, however, there are several knowledge gaps. Therefore, this work addresses the effects of initial biochar application (0, 10, 20 t ha⁻¹) and its reapplication ...

Abstract:
... Accurate and high resolution spatial soil information is essential for efficient and sustainable land use, management and conservation. Since the establishment of digital soil mapping (DSM) and the goals set by the GlobalSoilMap (GSM) working group, great advances have been made to attain spatial soil information worldwide. Highly populated areas such as the Netherlands demand multi-functional lan ...

AbstractIn the present study, the correlation between bacterial abundance and soil physicochemical properties along the heavy metal contamination gradient in the area of non-ferrous metal processing plant was assessed. Our results showed that bacterial abundance (number of heterotrophic bacteria and number of 16S rRNA gene copies) decreased with 45–56% (CFU) and 54–87% (16S rRNA gene) along the Z ...

Abstract:
... Soil pollution by metal(loid)s is an important issue in Europe, as it causes environmental and health problems. Therefore, remediation of these areas is needed. The success of phytoremediation process will depend on the ability of plants to implement, which can require the addition of amendments to the soil in order to improve soil conditions, immobilize pollutant and thus ameliorate plant growth. ...

In the present study, we investigated the responses of microbial respiration and community structure, enzyme activity and DTPA-extractable Pb within 60 days of incubation in soils treated with Pb and nano-ZnO. The results showed that when the concentration of nano-ZnO exceeded 10 mg/kg, the concentration of DTPA-extractable Pb significantly decreased by 10.6%–21.3% on the 60th day of the experimen ...

However, the community composition and diversity of plants associated with symbiotic nitrogen-fixers and soil free-living nitrogen-fixing bacteria in karst shrub ecosystems remain poorly known. The community composition and d ...
