Globally, ultramafic outcrops are renowned for hosting floras with high levels of endemism,
including plants with specialised adaptations such as nickel or manganese …

The transformation of trace metals (TMs) in natural environmental systems has created
significant concerns in recent decades. Ultramafic environments lead to potential risks to the …

Purpose In this study, we investigated the effect of biochar (BC) and fungal bacterial co-
inoculation (FB) on soil enzymatic activity and immobilization of heavy metals in serpentine …

The effects of biochar aging on heavy-metal bioavailability and microbial activity are not fully
understood. This study determined the effect over 270 days of poultry-litter biochar (PBC) …

This study assesses the effect of N-fixing bacteria and biochar synergism on plant growth
and development of Vigna mungo under heavy metal stress (HM). Heavy metal stress is a …

This study focused on rhizobacteria to promote sustainable crop production in arid regions
of Saudi Arabia. The study isolated 17 tightly root-adhering rhizobacteria from various plants …

Due to industrialization, excessive use of pesticides and fertilizer and improper waste
management practices cause heavy metal accumulation in both soil and water. Due to the …

In order to better understand the transformation and distribution of different Se forms in wild
peach. Se 2−, Se 0, Se 4+ and Se 6+(from selenomethionine, Se powder, sodium selenite …

Soil microbial functioning heavily influenced by heavy metals, is critical to soil health. We
investigated the response of soil microbial properties to Cu speciation and soil …

Cadmium (Cd) pollution is a huge threat to ecosystem health. In the manuscript, pot
experiments were conducted to investigate the changes in plant biomass and antioxidant …
