The term “heavy metal” refers to an element that usually has an atomic number greater than
20 and a density higher than 5.0 g cm− 3. Anthropogenic activities are the main source of …

We examined the effect of a labile soil amendment, compost, and recalcitrant biochar on soil
microbial community structure, diversity, and activity during turfgrass establishment. Two …

A Gram-positive bacterium, designated as strain B1 (2015b), was isolated from the soil of the
chemical factory “Organika-Azot” in Jaworzno, Poland. On the basis of 16S rRNA gene …

This study assessed the effects of Reynoutria japonica, Rudbeckia laciniata, and Solidago
gigantea invading sites within and outside river valleys on activity, biomass, and …

The alternation of drying and rewetting events could dramatically affect the biological and
structural properties of soil and consequently influence nutrient transformation. To examine …

Pyrosequencing and lipid fingerprinting were used to link anaerobic digestion (AD) process
parameters (pH, alkalinity, volatile fatty acids (VFAs), biogas production and methane …

Invasive trees can alter soil properties and ecosystem functioning by producing phenolic
compounds. Phenolics can influence carbon and nitrogen availability as well as enzymatic …

The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of R. rugosa invasion on soil
physicochemical and microbial properties of coastal sand dunes. The study was performed …

The submitted work assumes that the abundance and diversity of endophytic and
rhizosphere microorganisms co-existing with the halophytic plant Aster tripolium L. growing …

Plant invasions can considerably modify soil microbial communities and processes. The
direction and magnitude of these changes depend on invasive plant species. This problem …
