The rapid development of the world economy has led to the release of large amounts of anthropogenic cadmium (Cd) into the atmosphere. The released Cd is ultimately deposited on the earth surface, which is absorbed by crops and accumulates in food chains. Rice roots and leaves were exposed to cadmium (Cd)-contaminated particles in a greenhouse to modify the fractionation during Cd uptake and transport in the plants by using the Bayesian mixing model. The exposure to atmospheric Cd in rice near a copper smelter was determined under the field co...
Nitrogen is a limiting nutrient for degraders function in hydrocarbon-contaminated environments. Biological nitrogen fixation by diazotrophs is a natural solution for supplying bioavailable nitrogen.Nitrogen is a limiting nutrient for degraders function in hydrocarbon-contaminated environments. Biological nitrogen fixation by diazotrophs is a natural solution for supplying bioavailable nitrogen. Here, Prof. LUO Yongming and his team from the Institute of Soil Science, CAS, determined whe...
As emerging contaminants , microplastics and nanoplastics ( MPs/NPs ) are increasingly widespread in soil environment .And examines the migration processes of MPs/NPs at multiple interfaces as well as the potential toxic effects of MPs/NPs . Without standard methods to trace MPs/NPs in differ... As emerging contaminants, microplastics and nanoplastics (MPs/NPs) are increasingly widespread in soil environment. The present paper reviews available analytical methods for detecting MPs/NPs in soil and plants, and examines the migration processes of MPs/NPs at multiple interfaces as well ...
Despite remarkable progress in understanding Aluminium resistance in plants, it is still unknown whether and how the soil microbiota confers Al resistance to crops. Here we found that a synthetic community composed of highly Al-resistant bacterial strains isolated from the rice rhizosphere in...
Soil acidity with a pH below 5.5 poses a major challenge to global agriculture, affecting approximately 50% of arable land. Al toxicity in acidic soils hampers root growth and nutrient uptake, leading to reduced crop yield and quality. Despite substantial advances in understanding Al res...
The sustainability of life on Earth is under increasing threat due to human-induced climate change. This perilous change in the Earth's climate is caused by increases in carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, primarily due to emissions associated with burning fossil fuels.
