Journal ArticleDOI
Identification of trace element sources and associated risk assessment in vegetable soils of the urban-rural transitional area of Hangzhou, China.
TL;DR: Through the pollution evaluation, it was found that only 30.8% of the study area did not suffer from moderate or severe pollution, indicating that the source of these elements was mainly controlled by soil-forming factors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Identification of soil heavy metal sources and improvement in spatial mapping based on soil spectral information: A case study in northwest China
TL;DR: Co-kriging (CK) was used to improve the interpolation of heavy metals with various soil properties and reflectance spectra due to their ease and low-cost of collecting as features.
Journal ArticleDOI
Heavy metal sources identification and sampling uncertainty analysis in a field-scale vegetable soil of Hangzhou, China.

TL;DR: It was found that the primary inputs of Co, Mn and Ni were due to pedogenic sources, whereas the sources of Hg and Cd were mainly due to human activities.
Journal ArticleDOI
High-throughput profiling of seasonal variations of antibiotic resistance gene transport in a peri-urban river.
TL;DR: Seasonal and geographical variations in ARGs distribution in peri-urban river and the transport of bacterial communities were observed and mobile genetic elements showed significant positive correlation with ARGs and MGEs were also identified as the key-contributing factor driving ARG alteration.
Journal ArticleDOI
Antibiotic resistance genes in an urban river as impacted by bacterial community and physicochemical parameters.
TL;DR: The disparate distribution of some bacteria, including Bacteroides from mammalian gastrointestinal flora, Burkholderia from zoonotic infectious diseases, and Zoogloea from wastewater treatment, indicates that the urban river was strongly influenced by point-source pollution.
