Article Abstract
This study focuses on the determination of dioxins and related compounds (DRCs) in sediment and soil samples gathered from craft villages and industrial zones in Bac Ninh province, northern Vietnam. The PCDD/Fs and DL-PCBs levels in sediment samples ranged from 8.34 to 1302 pg/g and 34.5 to 3186 pg/g, respectively, and total equivalent toxicity (TEQ) of DRCs ranged from 0.596 to 88.1 pgTEQ/g. The total mass concentration of DRCs in the soil samples varied from 14.2 to 4857 pg/g, with corresponding total TEQ values ranging from 0.387 to 2.61 pgTEQ/g. Risk assessment based on sediment quality guideline indicators shows that DRCs at paper recycling village had moderate adverse biological effect. Some soil samples collected in industrial clusters have total carcinogenic risk (CR) values close to the threshold (1.0 × 10). Based on the results, it is necessary to continue monitoring and evaluating DRC compounds in craft village and industrial cluster environments and have remediation solutions to reduce these contaminated compounds.

Specialized plant metabolism, particularly phenolic compound production, contributes significantly to the functioning and resilience of mountain ecosystems. Livestock grazing can influence phenolic production, with its effects varying depending on microclimatic factors and soil conditions. Despite the ecological significance of this process, the impact of livestock grazing on phenolic production in alpine plants remains insufficiently explored.

A novel bacterial strain, SM-13 was isolated from the rhizospheric soil of Epipremnum aureum (Jade Pothos) sampled in Suwon, Republic of Korea. The isolate was Gram-stain-negative, aerobic, motile, rod-shaped, cream-coloured, oxidase- and catalase-positive. Strain SM-13 grew at the range of 15-37 °C (optimum, 25 °C), at pH 6.

The Earth's grasslands have experienced extensive alterations to their grazing regimes over the course of human history. We asked how native grassland herbivores (bison, prairie dogs, and grasshoppers) and a non-native herbivore that has become dominant (cattle) affect seasonal patterns of plant and soil elemental chemistry and aboveground plant biomass in a shortgrass prairie in the North American Northern Great Plains. To quantify herbivore effects, we sampled plants and soils across 4 months of the growing season in 15 grassland sites comprising five herbivore regimes with varying densities of bison, cattle, prairie dogs, and grasshoppers.
