Article Abstract

Reduced graphene oxide (RGO) is one of common carbon nanomaterials, which is widely used in various fields. Triclosan is an antimicrobial agent added in pharmaceuticals and personal care products. Extensive release of RGO and triclosan has posed potential risks to humans and the environment. The impact of RGO on the fate of triclosan in paddy soil is poorly known. C-Triclosan was employed in the present study to determine its distribution, degradation and mineralization in paddy soil mixed with RGO. Compared with the control, RGO (500 mg kg) significantly inhibited the mineralization of C-triclosan, and reduced its extractability by 6.5%. The bound residues of triclosan in RGO-contaminated soil (100 and 500 mg kg) were 2.9-13.3% greater than that of the control at 112 d. RGO also accelerated the dissipation of triclosan, and its degradation products in both treatments and controls were tentatively identified via C-labeling method and LC-Q-TOF-MS analysis. The concentrations of the major metabolites (methyl-triclosan and dechlorinated dimer) were inversely related with the concentrations of RGO. RGO at 50 mg kg or lower had a negligible effect on the degradation of triclosan in paddy soil. Triclosan was strongly adsorbed onto RGO-contaminated soil, which may play a vital role in the fate of triclosan in RGO-contaminated paddy soil. Interestingly, RGO had little effect on triclosan-degrading bacteria via soil microbial community analysis. This study helps understand the effects of RGO on the transformation of triclosan in paddy soil, which is of significance to evaluate the environmental risk of triclosan in RGO-contaminated soil.

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are critical mediators of soil biogeochemical processes. While the production of ROS with biochar (BC) in the rhizosphere has not been explored. We demonstrate that BC and Fe-modified biochar (FeBC), prepared at 400°C and 600°C, influence ROS generation in paddy soil containing biodegradable (polybutylene succinate: PBS) and conventional (polystyrene) microplastics (MPs).

Microplastics (MPs) have been shown to enhance nitrous oxide (NO) emissions and soil salinization potentially amplifying this effect. This study investigated the individual and combined impacts of polyethylene (PE) MPs and salinity on NO emissions from paddy soils, while simultaneously analyzing related microbial parameters. MPs significantly increased cumulative NO emissions by 9.

Integration of diverse fertilisation strategies with water-saving irrigation techniques presents a promising sustainable agricultural practice, offering the potential to reduce greenhouse gases (GHGs) emissions, enhance carbon sequestration and boost crop yields. However, existing research on the influence of soil microorganisms on biogeochemical processes of GHGs is limited. Herein, we explored the microbial mechanisms influencing GHGs emissions through a 3-year field experiment and metagenomic sequencing conducted in southeastern China.

Environmental remediation strategies for cadmium (Cd)-contaminated rice paddies often face challenges due to reliance on time-consuming field trials and limited pre-assessment of intervention efficacy. Here, we propose a machine learning and causal inference-integrated framework to enable proactive decision-making, using iron plaque-mediated Cd immobilization as a model system. By analyzing 76 paired soil-rice samples, extreme gradient boosting (XGBoost) and SHapley Additive exPlanations (SHAP) identified six critical drivers of grain Cd accumulation from 31 physicochemical and microbial indicators.

Accurate and high-frequency monitoring of methane (CH) from rice paddies is crucial for effective carbon emission control but remains challenging due to fluctuant emissions and complex field environments. This study proposed a new in-situ high-frequency CH4 measurement method based on machine learning and sensor-measurable water-soil-air environment factors. The results show that: (1) soil and paddy water serve as critical media influencing CH production and transportation, with paddy water depth (H), soil electrical conductivity (EC), and soil temperature (T) being significantly positively correlated with CH emission flux, while soil redox potential (Eh) had a negative effect (p < 0.
