Soil contamination with heavy metals is a global problem, and these metals can reach the
food chain through uptake by plants, endangering human health. Among the metal …

The increasing rate of natural resource use leads to an increase in the anthropogenic load
on the soil. As the result of industrial, metallurgical and mining activities, excessive amounts …

Heavy metal-immobilizing bacteria are normally capable of stabilizing metals and affecting
their absorption by plants. However, few studies have elucidated the mechanisms employed …

Concentration gradients of multiple heavy metals (HMs) in the arid loess region near a
smelter were determined. In order to understand the response of soil microbes to multiple …

Metal contamination released from tailings is a global environmental concern. Although
phytoremediation is a promising remediation method, its practice is often impeded by the …

Heavy metal pollution was the main risk during livestock manures composting, in which
microorganisms played a vital role. However, response strategies of microbial community to …

In arable soils co-influenced by mining and farming, soil bacteria significantly affect metal
(Cadmium, Cd) bioavailability and accumulation. To reveal the soil microecology response …

The long-term use of Cu-based fungicides at doses of several kilograms per hectare
stimulated a wide debate about the human health and environmental risks of the …

Anthropogenic activities accompanied by heavy metal waste threaten the environment.
Heavy metal pollution alters the soil microbial community composition, and the …

Both potentially toxic elements (PTEs) and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are
widely present in soil contaminated by steel industries. This study assessed the vertical …
