A Bibliometric‐Based Review of Biochar for Salt‐Affected Soil Restoration: Mapping Research Trends and Future Directions

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In recent years, biochar has been studied for its range of applications. Recognized by the IPCC as a key Carbon Dioxide Removal (CDR) strategy, it also stands out as an important tool for reclaiming degraded lands, including vast global areas affected by salinity, such as those in China, India, and Australia.

Assessment of the microbial quality of ready-to-eat vegetable salads and berry fruit available on Polish market

Acta Scientiarum Polonorum: Hortorum Cultus
The consumption and sale of ready-to-eat products, i.e., fresh-cut vegetable salads and fruit, have been growing tremendously in the present time. Therefore, the microbial safety of such products is of great concern.

Biochar‐Induced Shifts in Fungal Community Structure and Their Association With Soil Physical Properties in Degraded Soil From the Brazilian Semiarid

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Soil degradation compromises ecosystem functioning. Biochar, a carbon‐rich amendment, has gained attention as a promising strategy to enhance soil structure and restore microbial balance. This study investigated the effects of two biochars, cashew bagasse biochar (CBB) and a co‐pyrolyzed biochar produced from sewage sludge and cashew pruning ...

Shifts in the bacterial community composition along deep soil profiles in monospecific and mixed stands of Eucalyptus grandis and Acacia mangium [PDF]

, 2017
Our knowledge of the rhizosphere bacterial communities in deep soils and the role of Eucalyptus and Acacia on the structure of these communities remains very limited.

Defense heterosis as a novel plant protection strategy: From theory to breeding practice

New Plant Protection, EarlyView.
Defense heterosis, the enhanced disease resistance of hybrids compared to their parents, has evolved from early observations of hybrid vigor to a novel research concept. Advances are now clarifying its diverse genetic and molecular mechanisms across various plant–pathogen interactions.

Seasonal changes in antioxidative/oxidative profile of mining and non-mining populations of Syrian beancaper as determined by soil conditions [PDF]

, 2017
Soil pollution by heavy metals/metalloids (HMMs) is a problem worldwide. To prevent dispersion of contaminated particles by erosion, the maintenance of a vegetative cover is needed.

Hurdles to overcome to achieve biostimulant‐driven, low chemical input crop production

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Crop production requires considerable chemical inputs that result in significant greenhouse gas emissions and other environmental costs. Biostimulants are natural agents, such as microorganisms or seaweed, applied to plants and soil to stimulate plant growth and reduce chemical inputs. Biostimulant use is rapidly increasing globally, but hurdles remain,

The ecological hazards of profenofos revealed by soil beneficial-bacteria, plant seedlings, and plasmid nicking assays: A short-term toxicity investigation

Plant Stress
Excessive and indiscriminate use of pesticides may adversely affect the growth and activity of both crop plants and soil microbial populations. The reported study was conducted to evaluate the toxicity of profenofos (PF; an organophosphate insecticide ...

A framework linking silicon fertilisation, plant silicification and soil carbon cycling

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Soil organic carbon (SOC) is vital for soil health, food security, and climate change mitigation. We reviewed how silicon (Si) fertilisers, commonly used to improve plant health, may also influence SOC dynamics. We developed a framework linking Si and SOC and discussed the possibility of Si‐mediated plant changes contributing to SOC sequestration.

Permafrost thawing by soil transplantation alters the functional genetic potential of the alpine permafrost microbiome

Geoderma
Global warming has led to permafrost thawing in mid-latitude alpine regions, resulting in greater availability of carbon (C) and nutrients in soils. However, how these changes will impact the functional genetic potential of permafrost soil microbiomes ...
