Rice is one of the principal staple foods, essential for safeguarding the global food and
nutritional security, but due to different natural and anthropogenic sources, it also acts as …

The environmental cycling of mercury (Hg) can be affected by natural and anthropogenic
perturbations. Of particular concern is how these disruptions increase mobilization of Hg …

This review documents recent advances in terrestrial mercury cycling. Terrestrial mercury
(Hg) research has matured in some areas, and is developing rapidly in others. We …

Selenium (Se) is an essential micronutrient for humans and animals and can have beneficial
effects on plants. A low concentration of Se can improve plant growth; however, high …

The bioavailability and toxicity of mercury (Hg) are dependent on its chemical speciation, in
which methylmercury (MeHg) is the most toxic compound. Inorganic Hg can be transformed …

Selenium concentrations in the soil environment are directly linked to its transfer in the food
chain, eventually causing either deficiency or toxicity associated with several physiological …

Eutrophication is a major environmental concern in lake systems, impacting the ecological
risks of contaminants and drinking water safety. It has long been believed that eutrophication …

Sulfur could be introduced into paddy soils via dry or wet deposition, irrigation, and
fertilization, which subsequently impacts the production of methylmercury (MeHg), a …

Elevated methylmercury (MeHg) production in mining-contaminated paddy soils, despite the
high fraction of refractory HgS (s), has been frequently reported, while the underlying …

Sulfur-fertilizer is commonly applied in croplands and in immobilizing Hg in contaminated
soil. However, there is still great uncertainty and controversy concerning Hg transportability …
