The accumulation of heavy metals in soil and crops is considered to be a severe
environmental problem due to its various harmful effects on animals and plants. Soil …

The rhizosphere differs from the bulk soil in a range of biochemical, chemical and physical
processes that occur as a consequence of root growth, water and nutrient uptake, respiration …

Contemporary soil science and conservation methods of effective forestry Forests and the
soils that serve as their foundation cover almost a third of the world's land area. Soils …

Life on Earth is sustained by a small volume of soil surrounding roots, called the
rhizosphere. The soil is where most of the biodiversity on Earth exists, and the rhizosphere …

The aim of the present work was to provide a synopsis of the scientific literature concerning
the effects of different tree species on soil and to quantify the effect of common European …

Soils are the product of the activities of plants, which supply organic matter and play a
pivotal role in weathering rocks and minerals. Many plant species have a distinct ecological …

Poor iron (F e) availability in soil represents one of the most important limiting factors of
agricultural production and is closely linked to physical, chemical and biological processes …

Soil-to-plant transfer factors are commonly used to estimate the food chain transfer of
radionuclides. Their definition assumes that the concentration of a radionuclide in a plant …

Background In the context of increasing global food demand, ecological intensification of
agroecosystems is required to increase nutrient use efficiency in plants while decreasing …

The effect of living roots on the co-mineralization of soil organic carbon (SOC) and nitrogen
(SON) and driving mechanisms of the rhizosphere priming effect (RPE) remains unclear …
