The dynamics and transformations of micronutrients (Zn, Cu, Fe, Mn, B and Mo) in soils, are
governed by various factors like pH, EC, soil organic matter etc. Soil organic matter (SOM) is …

Aims Recent advances in mass spectrometry have demonstrated that higher plants
discriminate stable Zn isotopes during uptake and translocation depending on …

The effect of biochar application on the fate of Cd, Zn and Pb was investigated in a
contaminated soil amended with three different rates of biochar (1%, 5% and 10%; w/w). In …

Organic phosphorus (OP) represents a significant fraction of the total P pool in soils. With the
increasing use of organic resources to substitute mineral P fertilizers and the need to …

The effect of the combined application of nano-hydroxyapatite (NHAP) or nano-carbon black
(NCB) on the phytoextraction of Pb by ryegrass was investigated as an enhanced …

Root induced changes are deemed to have an important role in the success of remediation
techniques in contaminated soils. Here, the effects of two nano-particles [SiO 2 and zeolite] …

Rhizosphere interactions are deemed to play a key role in the success of phytoremediation
technologies. Here, the effects of biochar and root-induced changes in the rhizosphere of …

Abstract Background Silicon (Si) is increasingly recognized as a pivotal beneficial element
for plants in ecology and agricultural sciences, but soil-plant Si cycling has been considered …

The supplementation of Zn to farm animal feed and the excretion via manure leads to an
unintended Zn input to agricultural systems, which might compromise the long-term soil …

Lead (Pb) is one of the ubiquitous soil contaminants. The strategy to increase Pb
phytoremediation is of highly critical considering the difficulty in phytoextraction of Pb due to …
