From Salt‐Affected Marginal Land Resource to Remediation Agent: Halophyte‐Derived Biochar for Ameliorating Cd‐Contaminated Acidic Soil

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Cadmium (Cd) contamination of acidic soils poses a significant threat to ecosystem stability and crop health. This study evaluated the potential of biochar derived from the halophyte Salicornia europaea (SBC), a salt‐tolerant plant that grows on saline‐alkali marginal land, to remediate Cd‐contaminated acidic soil.

Bacillus subtilis Mobilizes Phosphorus by Reshaping P Pools, Sorption, and Enzyme Activities

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Low phosphorus (P) availability constrains crop production in saline‐alkaline soils of Xinjiang, China. We tested whether Bacillus subtilis (B. subtilis) mobilizes soil P by altering P fractions, sorption–desorption, and P‐cycling enzymes in a saline‐alkaline cotton soil. Under conventional fertilization, B. subtilis was applied at 0 (B0), 15 (

Moss Biocrusts Regulate Heavy Metal Speciation and Mobility in Coal Mine Soils

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT On a global scale, coal mining activities often lead to heavy metal(loid) contamination in soils of mine dump sites, posing serious ecological risks. As ecosystem “engineers,” biological soil crusts (biocrusts)—especially moss crust—have shown great potential in remediating heavy metal‐polluted soils, but their roles remain underexplored.

Ecological and Mutation‐Order Speciation in Senecio

Molecular Ecology
ABSTRACT Natural selection shapes how new species arise, yet the mechanisms that generate reproductive barriers remain actively debated. Although ecological divergence in contrasting environments and mutation‐order processes in similar environments are often viewed as distinct speciation mechanisms, we show they ...

A Study on the Distribution Characteristics of Salinity and Nutrients and the Migration Mechanism of Soil Salt in the Delingha Saline‐Alkali Soil Profile of the Qaidam Basin

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Soil salinization negatively impacts the economic development and ecological environment, particularly in the arid and semiarid regions of China. The Qaidam Basin constitutes a major distribution area of saline‐alkali land in the country. However, the distribution patterns of salinity and nutrients within soil profiles and the underlying salt ...

Beyond Chemical Compliance: A Critical Review Toward Microbiome‐Informed Ecological Exit Criteria for Bioremediated Soils

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Chemical compliance remains the usual endpoint for closing contaminated‐soil remediation projects, although it does not establish recovery of soil function or the durability of the post‐treatment state. This critical review examines when microbiological evidence can contribute to ecological closure decisions.
