Current agricultural practices face numerous challenges, including declining soil fertility and
heavy reliance on chemical inputs. Rhizosphere microbial metabolites have emerged as …

Desertification poses a serious threat to ecosystem health, and with global changes, the
variability and uncertainty of ecological functions in semi-arid alpine regions are increasing …

Rare earth elements (REEs) mining exerts adverse impacts on soil ecosystems. Attempts to
recover REEs-contaminated soils have been made through phytoremediation with …

Chrysene, as a high molecular weight polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH), has become
an important factor in degrading soil quality and constraining the safe production of food …

Introduction Composting is one of the effective environmental protection and sustainable
measures for improving soil quality and increasing crop yield. However, due to the special …

This study examined the impact of long-term manure organic fertilizer application (3, 8, 13,
18, and 22 years) on soil physicochemical properties, heavy metal (HM) accumulation, and …

Vegetation degradation in natural environments leads to considerable fluctuations in soil
function indicators, particularly in the sensitive and delicate habitats of semi-arid regions. In …

The majority of the studies on nanoscale zero-valent iron (nZVI) are conducted at a
laboratory-scale, while field-scale evidence is scarce. The objective of this study was to …

Soil carbon (C) is important to support sustainable agriculture, affect global C cycling, and
influence the climate system. Manure fertilization is an important and widely used practice to …

Any harmful or undesirable modification or disturbance to land is referred to as “land
degradation.” The major causes of land degradation are frequent soil erosion, soil …
