Reductions in sulfur (S) atmospheric deposition in recent decades have been attributed to S deficiencies in crops. Similarly, global soil selenium (Se) concentrations were predicted to drop, particularly in Europe, due to increases in leaching attrib...
Cadmium (Cd) is a dangerous environmental contaminant. Jute (Corchorus sp.) is an important natural fiber crop with strong absorption and excellent adaptability to metal-stressed environments, used in the phytoextraction of heavy metals. Understandin...

The widespread prevalence of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in the environment has raised major concerns due to the associated risks to human health, wildlife, and ecological systems. Here, we investigated the degradation kinetics, Bayesian network...
The traditional prediction of the Cd content in grains (Cd) of crops primarily relies on the multiple linear regression models based on soil Cd content (Cd) and pH, neglecting inter-factorial interactions and nonlinear causal links between external e...
The accumulation of polyethylene microplastic (PE-MPs) in soil can significantly impact plant quality and yield, as well as affect human health and food chain cycles. Therefore, developing rapid and effective detection methods is crucial. In this stu...

The loss of nitrogen in soil damages the environment. Clarifying the mechanism of ammonium nitrogen (NH-N) transport in soil and increasing the fixation of NH-N after N application are effective methods for improving N use efficiency. However, the ma...
Due to the diverse controlling factors and their uneven spatial distribution, especially atmospheric deposition from smelters, assessing and predicting the accumulation of heavy metals (HM) in crops across smelting-affected areas becomes challenging....
Urban fragmented vegetable fields offer fresh produce but pose a potential risk of heavy metal (HM) exposure. Thus, this study investigated HM sources and health risks in the soil-vegetable systems of Chongqing's central urban area. Results indicated...
The wide variation of nanomaterial (NM) characters (size, shape, and properties) and the related impacts on living organisms make it virtually impossible to assess their safety; the need for modeling has been urged for long. We here investigate the c...
Gas stations not only serve as sites for oil storage and refueling but also as locations where vehicles frequently brake, significantly enriching the surrounding soil with potentially toxic elements (PTEs). Herein, 117 topsoil samples from gas statio...
