Spreading manure containing antibiotics in agriculture is assumed to stimulate the
dissemination of antibiotic resistance in soil bacterial populations. Plant roots influencing the …

Constructed wetlands (CWs) have been used to remove organic pollutants including
antibiotics based on the roles of plants and microbial communities, but how rhizosphere and …

Despite reports in the literature of superior contaminant degradation in the root-zone of
plants, this phenomenon, known as the rhizosphere effect, is poorly understood. We …

The increasing industrial application of metal oxide Engineered Nano-Particles (ENPs) is
likely to increase their environmental release to soils. While the potential of metal oxide …

In arid and semi-arid ecosystems, salinization is a major threat to the productivity of
agricultural land. While the influence of other physical and chemical environmental factors …

Constructed wetlands (CWs) have emerged as a promising technology for the purification of
micro-polluted water. However, their nitrogen removal performance can be significantly …

Bacteria and antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) in vegetables may influence human gut
