TL;DR: This review summarizes the current state of the understanding of the effects of heavy metal stress on seed germination and seedling development and highlights informational gaps and areas for future research.

TL;DR: Estimation of ecologically and socially acceptable restoration techniques to accelerate forest recovery shows that isolation of seedling root systems from those of competing grasses increases the growth and survival of tree seedlings transplanted directly into grassland swards, while above-ground competition and exclusion of vertebrate herbivores has no effects on seedling growth and Survival.

TL;DR: In this paper, the role of rhizospheric organisms for facilitation of heavy metal uptake, the different mechanisms of enhancing the availability of heavy metals in the rhizosphere, the genetic diversity, and the microbial genera that involve in these processes.

TL;DR: The synergistic effect of bacterial-fungal inoculation as a soil-quality enhancer and as a plant-growth promoter in the presence of heavy metals is confirmed.

TL;DR: The findings of this study clearly indicate the efficacy of BF as a biofertilizer to reduce the usage of CFs in strawberry cultivation.
