Environmental pollution, one of the most serious problems facing human health, ecosystems
and biodiversity, is defined as the contamination of the physical and biological components …

Plants are continuously exposed to abiotic environmental pressures. One of principal abiotic
stress factors is heavy metal (HM), which as edaphic contaminants is noteworthy …

Heavy metal contamination of the environment through anthropogenic activities and/or
natural processes is a widespread and serious problem. Heavy metals occur in various …

Cadmium (Cd) availability can be significantly affected by soil properties. The effect of pH
value on Cd availability has been confirmed. Paddy soils in South China generally contain …

Heavy metals contamination in agricultural soil has become a worldwide problem, and soil
characteristics modulate metal availability in soils. Four field experiments were conducted …

Essential and non-essential trace metals are capable of causing toxicity to organisms above
a threshold concentration. Extensive research has assessed the behaviour of trace metals in …

The element concentration in lettuces grouped in 5 categories (baby variety, cultivated in
agricultural soils with low or high percentages of spent coffee grounds-SCG, without SCG …

Abstract Changes in macrominerals, trace elements and photosynthetic pigments were
monitored at 5 stages of lettuce growth. Plants were grown in three experimental agriculture …

Cadmium (Cd) bioavailability in the rhizosphere makes an important difference in grain Cd
accumulation in wheat. Here, pot experiments combined with 16S rRNA gene sequencing …

Although many previous studies have reported the soil pH and organic matter to be the most
critical factors that affect the transfer of Cd in soil-crop systems in temperate zones, the …
