Water and wastewater treatment and reuse

Mungbean is a key leguminous crop species highly regarded for its nutritious properties. However, soil salinity greatly reduced its growth and yield. Our study investigated whether applying exogenous nitrogen (N) (ammonium nitrate; AN) could improve salinity tolerance in mungbean seedlings by...

Unveiling the physio-biochemical, photosynthetic and ionic Responses of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) genotypes exposed to NaCl and chromium stress

by Ali M. Chen Y. Ahmad S. Aloufi S. Al-Asmari F. İzgü T. Şimşek Ö. Alalawy A. M.AL-Balawi S. Alasmari A. Alaida M.

Issue 5

Environmental management and policy

Heavy metal pollution and salinity is a serious ecological concern posing threat to agriculture sustainability and global food security. Chromium (Cr) accumulation in arable lands is of serious concern due to its long term persistent in the soil and strong detrimental impacts on crop yield. Soil...

Differential growth and metal uptake efficiency of castor bean genotypes on a lead contaminated soil

by Naveed S. Mahmood S. Ishaque W.

Issue 5

Soil and groundwater contamination and remediation

Present study investigated the unknown responses of five castor bean genotypes to lead (Pb) contaminated soil, focusing on their growth and metal uptake efficiency. A unique aspect is the simultaneous assessment of multiple genotypes, offering a holistic view of their reactions to soil contamination...

Liang Zhang et al. View all

Issue 3

Water and wastewater treatment and reuse

The pollution and toxicological effects of microplastics in soil have gradually attracted widespread attention, but studies on the ecological effects of microplastics on soil microorganisms and their mechanisms are still very scarce. To explore the physiological response of ectomycorrhizal fungi...

Issue 1

Environmental management and policy

The current study explores the capacities of Moringa oleifera (L), to overcome and/or tolerate oxidative stress induced by a saline substrate as a constraining factor. For this, Moringa seeds have been treated for 15 days after germination in vitro with increasing concentrations of NaCl, and...

Heavy metal accumulation and antioxidant properties of Nephrolepis biserrata growing in heavy metal-contaminated soil

by

FAZILAH ABD MANAN et al. View all

Issue 3

Hazardous Substances and Risk Analysis

Antioxidant defense mechanisms are crucial for plants to survive under stress conditions. We investigated the capacity of a wild fern species, Nephrolepis biserrata, growing in the vicinity of industrial land to accumulate heavy metals, and assessed its antioxidative response under metal stress. The...
