Screening Maize Cultivars Enables Concurrent Safe Crop Production and Phytoremediation of Cd‐Contaminated Agricultural Soil: A Field Experiment

Land Degradation &Development, Volume 37, Issue 15, Page 10873-10881, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Conventional management of heavy metal contaminated soil faces a dual challenge. Safe utilization maintains agricultural production without removing pollutants, whereas phytoremediation cleans the soil but cannot guarantee the planted crop safety.

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

Land Degradation &Development, Volume 37, Issue 15, Page 10979-10992, September 2026.
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.

Phytoextraction of Heavy Metals: A Promising Tool for Clean-Up of Polluted Environment?

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2018
Pollution by heavy metals (HM) represents a serious threat for both the environment and human health. Due to their elemental character, HM cannot be chemically degraded, and their detoxification in the environment mostly resides either in stabilization ...

Transfer of Potentially Toxic Metal(loid)s From Ultramafic Soils in a Tri‐Trophic Food Chain Experiment

Ecological Research, Volume 41, Issue 5, September 2026.
Potentially toxic metal(loid)s (PTMs) bioaccumulated across a plant‐herbivore‐predator food chain. Irrespective of soil concentrations, female crickets actively selected PTM‐enriched leaves, while predatory mantids showed no developmental impairment. Trophic transfer of PTMs was rather influenced more by a function of intrinsic species traits than by ...

Arsenic Hyperaccumulation Strategies: An Overview

Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2017
Arsenic (As) pollution, which is on the increase around the world, poses a growing threat to the environment. Phytoremediation, an important green technology, uses different strategies, including As uptake, transport, translocation, and detoxification ...

Serpentine Biocrust Microbes Maintain Nitrogen Cycling Under Drought and Heavy Metal Stress

Ecological Research, Volume 41, Issue 5, September 2026.
This study highlights the complex interplay between soil geochemistry and moisture availability in shaping microbial communities within wetter and drier serpentine and non‐serpentine biological soil crusts. It demonstrates that both factors influence the structure of nitrogen‐cycling microbial communities and the processes they mediate.

Cross‐Species Plasticity and Divergence Under Alkaline Soil Signature Conditions Differentiating PYE From FIT Target Transcripts in the Arabidopsis thaliana Ferrome

Plant, Cell &Environment, Volume 49, Issue 9, Page 6719-6736, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Soil pH is an influential abiotic environmental factor. Here, we identify responses to central stimuli associated with calcareous alkaline soils in Arabidopsis and comparatively explore the potential of the closely related Arabidopsis halleri for addressing how plants cope with local soil pH.

Phytoremediation: Halophytes as Promising Heavy Metal Hyperaccumulators

Heavy Metals, 2018
The continued accumulation of trace and heavy metals in the environment presents a significant danger to biota health, including humans, which is undoubtedly undermining global environmental sustainability initiatives.

Revisiting the functional strategy of herbaceous metallophytes helps understanding leaf metal accumulation

Ecological Monographs, Volume 96, Issue 3, August 2026.
Abstract Plant physiological adaptations to metal‐rich soils consist either in metal exclusion or in metal (hyper)accumulation in leaves and aboveground tissues. However, the relationship between these adaptations and the functional strategies developed by metallophytes to sustain their development is unknown.
