Immobilization of Inorganic Phosphorus on Soils by Zinc Oxide Engineered Nanoparticles [PDF]
ToxicsThe overuse of inorganic phosphate fertilizers in soils has led to the transfer of inorganic phosphorus (Pi) to aquatic ecosystems, resulting in eutrophication.

Organic acid-mediated phosphorus mobilization in black soils: differential effects of maize root exudates on alfisols and mollisols in Northeast China. [PDF]
PLoS ONESoil phosphorus exists in various forms, but only minimal soluble phosphorus is bioavailable. While phosphate fertilizers address deficiency, low efficiency leads to insoluble phosphate accumulation, wasting resources.

Effects of Climate and Water Limitation on Reproductive Traits and Trait Divergence Across Soil Boundaries in a Serpentine-Tolerant Annual Herb. [PDF]
Ecol EvolSoil and precipitation can drive divergence in plant populations, yet less is known about the potential for synergistic effects between soil and precipitation on reproductive traits. We characterized variation in flowering phenology across soil boundaries and along a precipitation gradient and experimentally evaluated how water limitation affects ...

Effects of trichloroethylene stress on the microbiological characteristics of Mollisol
Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety, 2019 Trichloroethylene (TCE), one of 129 kinds of priority pollutants, is the most common halogenated organic pollutant in the environment. To explore the changes in soil physicochemical properties and biological activities then clarify the effects of these factors on bacterial, fungal and actinomycetes communities in Mollisol under TCE stress is the ...
