Thousands of tons of zeolitic materials are used yearly as soil conditioners and components
of slow-release fertilizers. A positive influence of application of zeolites on plant growth has …

Knowledge of the effects of different organic species on soil structure and strength is gained
mostly from experiments on natural soils amended with organic substances of various …

It is well known, that soil particle surface properties like cation exchange capacity, surface
area, and charge density affect ion-exchange reactions in the root zone. However, the …

Lichens are symbiotic organisms known for producing unique secondary metabolites with
attractive cosmetic and pharmacological properties. In this paper, we investigated three …

We aimed to assess role of cell walls in formation of cation exchange capacity, surface
charge, surface acidity, specific surface, water adsorption energy and surface charge density …

It is widely believed that pectin are responsible for the vast majority of cation binding
positions in the root cell walls. To estimate the role of particular kinds of pectin, we studied …

The root surface physicochemical properties affect the ratio and uptake of cations by plants
and are influenced by environmental threats. In this study, we examine the effect of soil …

One of the ways to recycle millions of tons of fly ash and chitin wastes produced yearly is
their utilization as low-cost sorbents, mainly for heavy metal cations and organic substances …

Increasing numbers of outbreaks caused by enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC) are
associated with the consumption of contaminated fresh produce. The contamination of the …

Huge amount of information on the plants response to drought is available throughout the
literature; however, extremely rare information concerns effects of limited water availability …
