Soils polluted with heavy metals have become common across the globe due to increase in
geologic and anthropogenic activities. Plants growing on these soils show a reduction in …

It is well known that soil organisms, particularly microbiota, play an essential role in the
cycling of elements and stabilization of soil structure (1, 2). The mineralization of organic …

Exploring the role of enzymes in biogeochemical processes, this reference explores the
function, molecular biology, and biochemistry of microorganisms and their intra-and extra …

Microbial properties such as microbial biomass carbon (MBC), arylsulfatase, β-glucosidase
and dehydrogenase activities, and microbial heterotrophic potential, together with several …

The effects of soil contamination by heavy metals are studied by a mathematical interaction
model, validated by experimental results. The model relates the dynamics of uptake of heavy …

We studied the long-term effects (12 years) of municipal refuse compost addition on the total
organic carbon (TOC), the amount and activity of the microbial biomass (soil microbial …

Heavy metals contamination is posing severe threat to the soil health and environmental
sustainability. Application of industrial and sewage waste as irrigation and growing …

Soil samples were collected at alluvial sites of the Litavka River, which flows through the
Beroun and Příbram cities in Central Bohemia Region of the Czech Republic in 2005 and …

This study was carried out to investigate the effect of very high cadmium concentrations (50
and 500 μg Cd g–1 soil) on some biochemical and microbiological measurements under …

The residual effects of adding 40 t ha− 1 sewage sludge (SL) to a degraded soil cropped
with barley were investigated after 9 and 36 months in a field experiment under semiarid …
