Article Abstract
Accurate assessment and enhancement of phosphorus (P) availability are critical for land application of sewage sludge and its thermal-treated products. By simulating different functioning pathways of P in soil, a novel multivariable scheme was developed to evaluate P availability from the perspective of mobility and bio-accessibility, then was applied to investigate the effects of hydrothermal pretreatment (HT), carbonaceous skeleton-assisted HT (CSkel-HT), and incineration on this topic. Sludge contained predominantly slow-release and microbial-available P (>50.0 % of total P). HT and incineration reduced available P through filtrate discharge, organic-P decomposition, and Fe/Al-P volatilization. Surprisingly, CSkel-HT addition promoted soluble Ca/MgHPO and thermal-stable Fe/AlPO formation under acidic conditions, which not only retained the slow-release and microbial-available P in hydrochar and ash, but also increased the rapid-available and plant-available P contents by 25.0 % and 300.0 %. Our scheme provided more informative insights than traditional single-index methods, and revealed the enhancing mechanism of CSkel-HT on P availability.

The use of microbial loaded biochar in soil remediation is becoming popular worldwide. In the current research, a maize straw biochar (MB) and Trichoderma harzianum loaded biochar (MBT) were used at various rates in Cd-Cu dual polluted soil, to see their effect on Cd-Cu removal and to explore vigorous changes of metals bio-accessibility. Throughout the 90 days of remediation experiment, the dynamic impacts on the soil's physiochemical characteristics were noted.

In the face of worsening cadmium (Cd) pollution in river sediments, nano-chlorapatite (nClAP) modified biochars exhibit significant immobilization potential, but little is known about the ecological response of prokaryotic communities after remediation. In this study, nClAP-modified biochars derived from rice and wheat husk residues were used to immobilize Cd and evaluate their effects on α-diversity, co-occurrence network, and Cd-resistant genes of prokaryotic communities. Results revealed that pristine biochars converted exchangeable Cd to oxidizable and residual states via complexation, ion-exchange, and precipitation, while nClAP-modified biochars further facilitated the precipitation of Cd(PO)Cl, Cd(PO), and CdPO.

Article Synopsis
- Microplastics (MPs) and antibiotics, such as sulfadiazine (SDZ), co-exist in agricultural soils due to common sources like irrigation and organic fertilizers, yet their interactions in different soil types are not well understood.
- The study used diffusive gradients films for organic compounds (o-DGT) to assess how various types of MPs (like polyethylene and polypropylene) and their aging influence SDZ distribution in paddy and saline soils, finding significant variations in mobility and degradation rates based on soil type.
- Results indicated that MPs can affect SDZ bio-accessibility, with aged MPs posing a higher risk for plant uptake of SDZ, especially in saline soils, highlighting potential risks to the ecosystem

Alkaline soils are widely distributed around the world. During the mining and transportation processes galena may be exposed to the alkaline soils. Weathering of galena may lead to the formation of different lead phases having higher bio-accessibility than galena, and thereby increasing the mobility and toxicity of lead.
