Article Abstract
Most studies on the phytoextraction of cadmium (Cd) and zinc (Zn) by the hyperaccumulator () have been conducted in metal contaminated acidic and neutral soils. However, little information is available on phytoremediation of calcareous soils. Two experiments were conducted to investigate the phytoextraction efficiency of in a contaminated calcareous soil in He'nan province, north China. In a field experiment there was no significant decrease in shoot biomass production or metal (Cd and Zn) concentration in the shoots after three successive repeated phytoextractions. Repeated phytoextraction had no significant effect on the percentage distribution of Cd or Zn fractions in the soil even though the soil total Cd and Zn concentrations decreased by 32.8 and 19.7%, respectively. In a pot experiment the shoot biomass production and Zn and Cd uptake by increased significantly with growth in metal contaminated calcareous soil amended with organic fertilizer, perlite and vermiculite. The results indicate that can maintain sustainable uptake of Cd and Zn from the calcareous soil and enhancement of soil fertility and structure will significantly increase the phytoextraction efficiency.

Soils are a major reservoir for organic carbon (C), with subsoils (> 20-30 cm soil depth) storing most of this C. Predicting the response of deep-soil C to global change remains a critical research priority; yet long-term field observations for forests are scarce. In this study, we assessed decadal C dynamics in mineral soils to 90 cm depth of 62 temperate mature stands of European beech (Fagus sylvatica) in Austria using data from sampling campaigns in 1984, 2012, and 2022.

Biochar and microbial bio-fertilizers, such as endophytic fungi and plant growth-promoting endophytes (PGPEs), offer sustainable alternatives to chemical fertilizers by enhancing soil fertility and plant performance. However, their synergistic effects particularly those involving auxin (IAA) biosynthesis and nutrient uptake, remain underexplored in calcareous soils. This study investigates how the integration of biochar with auxin-producing microbial inoculants influences soil-plant interactions and canola productivity.

Emerging ecological risks of Per - and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) in terrestrial environments have received extensive attention. Yet, their impact on microbially-mediated nitrification processes in soils remains insufficiently investigated. Through a 42-day microcosm incubation experiment, we examined how two representative PFASs exposure, i.

This study evaluated the optimization of phosphorus (P) released in calcareous soil-amended with bone ash (BA) and bone char (BC) compared to phosphate rock (PR) and single superphosphate (SSP) using a central composite design and desirability function. Incubation experiment was conducted (≃30 °C) to investigate the effects of P-levels (PL, 1000-4000 mg P/kg soil) and incubation time (14-90 days) on available-P, soluble-P, -Ca²⁺, -Mg²⁺, and soil-pH. Wetting and drying cycles were applied using distilled water (DW) and acidified water (AW).

Introduction: Zinc deficiency is a common issue in top-grafted citrus trees. Citrus scions top-grafted on rootstocks may exhibit zinc deficiency due to reduced mineral absorption and transport. Therefore, selecting the appropriate rootstock is thought to be crucial for Zn nutrition of top-grafted citrus trees.
