Methylmercury (MeHg) contamination in rice via paddy soils is an emerging global
environmental issue. An understanding of mercury (Hg) transformation processes in paddy …

The production of methylmercury (MeHg) in flooded paddy fields determines its
accumulation in rice grains; this, in turn, results in MeHg exposure risks for not only rice …

Rice paddies provide optimum conditions for Hg methylation, and paddy soil is a hot spot for
Hg methylation and the predominant source of methylmercury (MeHg) accumulated in rice …

The microbial community assembly processes and underlying mechanisms in response to
heavy metal accumulation in coastal sediments remain underexplored. In this study, the …

Soil microorganisms play pivotal roles in driving essential biogeochemical processes in
terrestrial ecosystems, and they are sensitive to heavy metal pollution. However, our …

Despite the widespread detection of polybrominated diphenyl ethers in aquatic ecosystems,
their long-term effects on sediment multifunctionality remain unclear. Herein, a 360-day …

Deciphering the impact of single and combined contamination of total petroleum
hydrocarbons (TPH) and heavy metals on soil microecosystems is essential for the …

Microorganisms are pivotal in sustaining soil functions, yet the specific contributions of
bacterial and fungal succession on the functions during vegetation restoration in metallic …

Soil health arguably depends on biodiversity and has received wide attention in heavy-
metal (HM) contaminated farmland remediation in recent years. However, long-term effects …

Methylmercury (MeHg), a potent neurotoxin, easily moves from the soil into rice plants and
subsequently accumulates within the grains. Although biochar can reduce MeHg …
