Heavy metals (HMs) from smelters pose severe challenges to the environmental soil quality
of surrounding farmlands, and threaten human health through the food chain. This study …

Plants are vulnerable to many abiotic stresses, resulting in reduced plant productivity. Its
adaptation to unfavorable environments relies on transmitting external stress signals into …

The pollution of toxic elements (TEs) in the ecosystem exhibits detrimental effects on the
human health. In this paper, we debated remediation approaches for TEs polluted soils via …

Phytoremediation, a technique dependent on the heavy metal bioaccumulation and
translocation in different parts of plants, is an efficient and environment friendly method for …

Abstract Zinc (Zn 2+) stress is an important abiotic constraint affecting crop seed germination
and plant growth. It is vital to exploit and utilize zinc-polluted soil by exploring technologies …

Tillage methods and intensity can be used as means of improving macronutrient and trace
element concentration in soil and crops. A two-year field experiment was conducted to …

Mine tailings can contaminate large areas of neighboring agricultural lands due to the
dispersion of heavy metals, which may lead to reduction in soil fertility and toxicity in crops …

Abstract Background Most of Camellia oleifera forests have low fruit yield and poor oil
quality that are largely associated with soil fertility. Soil physical and chemical properties …

Root system architecture (RSA) refers to the spatial distribution and extended morphology of
plant root systems in soil. RSA not only determines the ability of plants to obtain water and …

Oil sludge is a typical hazardous waste in the petrochemical and electric power industry. It
has complex components and special properties, and has serious hazards to humans …
