TLDR
The sorption of DOC (derived from mature wheat straw) was more strongly affected by SAR than by EC, andDOC sorption in salt-affected soil is more strongly controlled by CEC and Fe/Al concentration than by clay concentration per se except in sodic soils where DOC sorption is low due to the high sodium saturation of the exchange complex.About:

Biochar induced changes of soil dissolved organic matter: The release and adsorption of dissolved organic matter by biochar and soil.
TL;DR: It is indicated that the release and adsorption of DOM were the key processes determining the effects of biochar on soil DOM, which were closely related to the pyrolysis temperature and application rate of biochars.

Changes in microbial community during removal of BDE-153 in four types of aquatic sediments
TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of BDE-153, a common congener in aquatic environments, on the microbial communities in four types of aquatic sediments was evaluated during the 150 days' incubation under an anaerobic condition.

Effects of saline water irrigation and fertilization regimes on soil microbial metabolic activity
TL;DR: In this article, a field orthogonal designed test under different saline water irrigation amount, water salinity, and nitrogen fertilizer application was conducted, and the metabolic profiles of soil microbial communities were analyzed by using the Biolog method.

Leaching effect on arsenic mobility in agricultural soils.
TL;DR: The distribution of As forms was performed by sequential extraction (SEP), which indicated negligible transformation of As species in upper soil layers, which indicated overall stability and accumulation of soil arsenic were mostly affected by soil properties.

Diversity of Bacillus-like bacterial community in the rhizospheric and non-rhizospheric soil of halophytes (Salsola stocksii and Atriplex amnicola) and characterization of osmoregulatory genes in halophilic Bacilli
Salma Mukhtar,Salma Mukhtar,Samina Mehnaz,Muhammad Sajjad Mirza,Babur S. Mirza,Kauser A. Malik +5 more
TL;DR: Most of the Bacillus-like isolates identified in this study were moderately halophilic, alkaliphilic, and mesophilic bacteria and were considered a good source of hydrolytic enzymes because of their ability to degrade proteins, carbohydrates, and lipids.
