Background Soil salinization threatens food security and ecosystem health, and is one of the
important drivers to the degradation of many ecosystems around the world. Soil …

Rice (Oryza sativa L.) growth and productivity has been negatively affected due to high soil
salinity. However, some salt-tolerant plant growth-promoting bacteria (ST-PGPB) enhance …

The rational use of materials is the key to urban sustainable development. The research of
urban metabolism in the field of industrial ecology can provide effective insights for this goal …

Grassland degradation is a retrogressive succession of grassland vegetation, which leads to
the loss of biodiversity and the degradation of ecosystem functions. Soil microbiomes play …

Land degradation by salinization and sodification changes soil function, destroys soil health,
and promotes bioaccumulation of heavy metals in plants, but little is known about their …

Soil contamination with multiple heavy metals poses threats to human health and ecosystem
functioning. Using the Nemerow pollution index, which considers the effects of multiple …

Salinization is a matter of growing concern as it decreases plant productivity in degraded
grassland soils; however, its effects on bacterial and fungal communities remain unknown …

Planting rice is one of the effective ways to improve saline soils, but the underlying
mechanisms are unknown. We studied basic soil properties (including pH, salt content, total …

The addition of Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) or bioorganic fertilizer (BOF) alone has
been reported to enhance plant tolerance to heavy metals and salt stress and promote plant …

Soil salinization is a serious global environmental problem affecting sustainable
development of agriculture. Legumes are excellent candidates for the phytoremediation of …
