Screening and breeding of pollution-safe cultivars (PSCs) has become one of the most direct and cost-effective methods for reducing the health risks of heavy metal-contaminated soil. In this paper we identified and screened out cadmium (Cd)-pollution-safe pakchoi cultivars from 30 pakchoi genetype materials through preliminary screening experiments and re-screening experiments in field conditions...
Despite the perceived importance of humin to forest ecosystem C sequestration, few studies have attempted to examine the responses to elevated temperature (ET, +2.5ºC) and elevated atmospheric CO2 concentration (EC, 700 ppm) on the chemical structures of humin. Solid-state 13C cross-polarization magic angle spinning nuclear magnetic resonance (13C CPMAS NMR) spectroscopy was applied to evaluate the...
The Huaihe River Basin is located in-between the north-south climate transitional zone in China and is China’s important congested area and production base. The land-use of the environment was occupied by the land-use for social and economics. This paper aims to have a comprehensive understanding about land-use and vegetation evolution of the basin over the past 30 years. In view of 5 years (1985,...
Surficial sediments and water (27 samples each) were collected from three representative lakes collapsed by mining activities in Huaibei, China. Contents of heavy metals (Sb, As, Cd, Pb, Zn) in both water and sediments were detected via atomic absorption spectrophotometry and atomic fluorescence spectrometry, respectively. The variation coefficient (C.V.) of each heavy metal as well as the partition...
Nigeria is facing some serious environmental challenges due to frequent oil spills, especially in the Niger Delta. Oil spills are one of the main sources of environmental contamination in the country. Daily oil spill incidents have polluted the air, soil, natural vegetation, farmlands, sources of drinking water, and fishing creeks. Multi end member spectral mixture analysis (MESMA) was used to calculate...
Though fertilizers can improve grain yield, the trace heavy metals in fertilizers will also enter soil and migrate through food chains, which harbor ecological and health risks. This study was based on more than 30 years of location experiments. The objective was to investigate the effects of different fertilizer treatments on the bioavailability of heavy metals in Shajiang black soil. Total and available...
