A novel biological material named activated carbon fibers-sodium alginate@Sphingopyxis sp. YF1 (ACF-SA@YF1) was synthesized for microcystin-RR (MC-RR) and nutrient pollutant degradation in eutrophic water. The synthesized biomaterial was characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Box-Behnken design and response surface methodology (RSM) were utilized for the optimization of conditions during the MC-RR degradation. The degradation of MC-RR and nutrient pollutants was dynamically detected. The results revealed that the optimal conditions were temperature 32.51 °C, pH 6.860, and inoculum 14.97%. The removal efficiency of MC-RR, nitrogen, phosphorus, and chemical oxygen demand were 0.76 μg/mL/h, 32.45%, 94.57%, and 64.07%, respectively. In addition, ACF-SA@YF1 also performed satisfactory cyclic stability, while the MC-RR removal efficiency was 70.38% after seven cycles and 78.54% of initial activity after 20 days of storage. Therefore, it is reasonable to believe that ACF-SA@YF1 is an effective material which has a great prospect in removing MC-RR and nutrients from freshwater ecosystems.

Identifying the sources of sedimentary organic matter (OM) is essential for understanding pollution dynamics and guiding effective management in estuarine environments. This study proposes a novel and transferable source tracking framework that integrates Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) and fluorescence spectroscopy with a principal component analysis-absolute principal component score-multiple linear regression (PCA-APCS-MLR) receptor model to apportion OM sources in surface sediments across four South Korean estuaries with contrasting land use. Five new infrared-based indices (IRIs), developed from diagnostic FTIR absorbance features of water-extractable organic matter (WEOM), were designed to capture source-specific functional group compositions linked to terrestrial, synthetic, and petroleum-derived OM.

The fragmented ecological environment in the mining ecosystem has a significant impact on the microbial community and affects ecosystem stability. Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) facilitate nutrient exchange and element cycling between soil and plants, which play a crucial role in the functionality and stability of soil ecosystems. However, the mechanism of ecological environment factors influencing AMF community assembly in mining areas is still unclear.

India produces an estimated 6.38 million tons of surplus sugarcane trash annually. When burned in fields, this trash emits approximately 12,948 kg CO equivalent greenhouse gases per hectare and causes nutrient losses (41 kg ha nitrogen, 5.

Cadmium (Cd) contamination in vegetables poses a potential risk to human health; thus an accurate soil Cd threshold is crucial for early warning to ensure safe production. In this study, a national-scale dataset of Cd contents in agricultural soils and vegetables in China was compiled to assess the dietary exposure risk, and a hybrid approach combining conditional inference trees (CITs) and species sensitivity distribution (SSD) was established to derive soil Cd thresholds. The results showed that amaranth, butterhead lettuce, Chinese cabbage, coriander, and garlic had higher Cd accumulation ability among 34 species studied.
