Tremendous progress has been made on molecular aspects of plant phosphorus (P)
nutrition, often without heeding information provided by soil scientists, ecophysiologists, and …

Ion-adsorption rare earth elements (iREE) deposits are the globally predominant source of
heavy rare earth elements (HREE), which are mainly discovered and mined in southern …

Rock weathering is a key process in global elemental cycling. Life participates in this
process with tangible consequences observed from the mineral interface to the planetary …

Mineral dissolution rates control the temporal evolution of many natural processes on the
surface and upper crust of the Earth. This is the first of a series of papers describing the …

Industrial wastewater containing heavy metals, such as Cd and Pb, must be treated prior to
discharge to meet increasingly stringent discharge guidelines and to limit the impact of toxic …

Improving geothermal systems through hydraulic stimulation to create highly permeable
fractured rocks can induce seismicity. Therefore, the technique must be applied at a …

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 …

Chemical stimulation of geothermal reservoirs via selective mineral dissolution with eco-
friendly chelating agents has been recently proposed as a novel method complementary to …

The neutralization of strongly alkaline pH conditions and acceleration of mineral weathering
in alkaline Fe ore tailings have been identified as key prerequisites for eco-engineering …

Ecological engineering of soil formation in tailings is an emerging technology toward
sustainable rehabilitation of iron (Fe) ore tailings landscapes worldwide, which requires the …
