TL;DR: The results showed that microbial biomass C was negatively affected by the elevated metal levels and was closely correlated with heavy metal stress, and Polymerase chain reaction-denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (PCR-DGGE) analysis demonstrated that heavy metals pollution had a significant impact on bacterial and actinomycetic community structure.

TL;DR: It could be suggested that Cd compartmentation with organo-ligands in vacuole or integrated with pectates and proteins in cell wall might be responsible for the adaptation of pokeweed to Cd stress.

TL;DR: Using manure-derived-biochar as an alternative phosphorus (P) source has bright future prospects to improve soil P status and enhancement of soil P availability was firstly due to the orthophosphate and pyrophosphate as the major P species in manure biochar which directly increased contents of soil inorganic P, and also attributed to the decomposition of some organic P like monoesters by enhanced alkaline phosphomonoesterase activities from manureBiochar addition.

TL;DR: In this article, two typical metal oxide nanoparticles (TiO 2 and CuO NPs) in different doses (0, 100, 500 and 1000 milligrams −1 soil) were applied to evaluate their effects on microbes in flooded paddy soil.

TL;DR: Metal-based nanoparticles may be translocated and biochemically modified in vivo, which may influence the fate of MNPs in the environment and bulk-XANES data showed that CuO NPs were transported from the roots to the leaves, and that Cu (II) combined with cysteine, citrate, and phosphate ligands and was even reduced to Cu (I).
