Journal ArticleDOI
Bacteria, not archaea, restore nitrification in a zinc-contaminated soil.
Jelle Mertens,Kris Broos,Kris Broos,Steven A. Wakelin,George A. Kowalchuk,Dirk Springael,Erik Smolders +6 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that a phylogenetic shift within the AOB community drives recovery of nitrification from Zn contamination in this soil.
Journal ArticleDOI
Modeling the toxicity of copper and zinc salts to wheat in 14 soils

TL;DR: To quantify the effects that soil physicochemical properties have on various ecotoxicological endpoints, including phytotoxicity, 14 agricultural soils from Australia with differing soil properties were spiked with copper (Cu) and zinc (Zn) salts and used to conduct plant growth inhibition tests using wheat in pot trials.
Journal ArticleDOI
Soil solution concentration of Cd and Zn can be predicted with a CaCl2 soil extract
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors determined the K d of soils contaminated with Cd and Zn by measuring metal concentrations in the soil and in soil solution and attempted to predict them from other soil variables by regression.
Journal ArticleDOI
Toxicity of heavy metals in soil assessed with various soil microbial and plant growth assays: a comparative study.
TL;DR: Eight different ecotoxicological endpoints on the same set of metal-contaminated soils that were collected from seven series of soils sampled during field trials were compared, finding the endpoints that combined average sensitivity and robustness were SIR (lag time), clover yield, and N fixation in clover.
Journal ArticleDOI
Soil factors controlling the toxicity of copper and zinc to microbial processes in Australian soils
Kris Broos,Michael St. J. Warne,Diane Heemsbergen,D. P. Stevens,Mary Barnes,Raymond L. Correll,Mike J. McLaughlin,Mike J. McLaughlin +7 more
TL;DR: Relationships such as those developed in this study will permit Australian environmental regulation to move from single-value national soil quality guidelines to soil- specific quality guidelines and permit soil-specific risk assessments to be undertaken.
