As a burgeoning pollutant, microplastics (MPs) has elicited global concern. However, ecological effects and mechanisms of MPs on plant-soil system are still poorly understood. In the present study, impacts polyvinyl chloride (PVC-MPs) maize (Zea mays L.) seedlings growth physiological traits soil properties were discussed through 30-day pot experiment. Results showed that PVC-MPs had greater toxicity effect shoot biomass than root biomass. To defense impact PVC-MPs, superoxide dismutase...

With the increasing shortage of water resources, current management saline–alkali lands in semi-arid and arid areas has gradually transformed from “flooding irrigation with drainage” past to combination controlling regional salt balance, phytoremediation, comprehensive utilization halophyte resources. However, soil salinization caused by natural anthropogenic factors still been a major global environmental problem, which changes chemical physical properties soil, deteriorates quality...

Abstract Microplastics are exotic pollutants and increasingly detected in soil, but it remains poorly understood how microplastics impact soil plant systematically. The present study was conducted to evaluate the effects of polyvinyl chloride (PVC-MPs) on wheat seedlings performance properties. Under stress PVC-MPs, no new substance functional groups were generated by X-ray diffraction fourier transform infrared spectroscopy analyses, whereas characteristic peaks affected PVC-MPs. Wheat...

Wheat flag leaf (FL) is one of the primary sources carbohydrates in grains; however, its role grain lead (Pb) absorption remains unclear. A field experiment was conducted to assess relative contribution FL Pb accumulation wheat by two contrasting treatments: without (CK) and with removal (FLR) at grain-filling stage. The concentration leaves closely related strata decreased from third leaf. FLR treatment significantly reduced yield 2.79% 11.47%, respectively. gradually filling process,...

The absorption of atmospheric particulate matter lead (APM-Pb) by wheat leaves is the primary source Pb in grains, yet mechanisms how absorb remain unclear. In this study, spraying Pb(NO3)2 (Treatment T1) and PbS T2) were used as soluble insoluble Pb, respectively, to evaluate pathways APM-Pb leaves, well translocation accumulation patterns within plant. results showed that both can be absorbed leaves. Compared control group (CK), treatment T1 T2 significantly increased concentration rate...

Under the sufficient nitrogen supply, it is of great significance to investigate law biomass allocation, root morphological traits, and salt absorption capacity euhalophytes evaluate their biological desalination in saline soil. Although curvilinear responses accumulation morphology response soil salinity have been recognized, these perceptions are still confined descriptions inter-treatment population changes lack details on allocation organs at an individual level. In this study,

Large-flow waste gas generated from the pharmaceutical and chemical industry usually contains low concentrations of VOCs (volatile organic compounds), it is also key factor that presents challenges in terms disposal. To date, due to limitations mass transfer rate microbial degradation ability, performance using biological method has not been ideal. Therefore, this study, sludge a chlorobenzene-containing wastewater treatment plant was inoculated into our experimental bio-trickling filter...

Abstract Background The departure of the mature larvae horse stomach bot fly from host indicates beginning a new infection period. Gasterophilus pecorum is dominant species in desert steppe Kalamaili Nature Reserve (KNR) northwest China as result its particular biological characteristics. population dynamics G. were studied to elucidate development this arid steppe. Methods Larvae freshly excreted feces tracked Przewalski’s horses ( Equus przewalskii ) collected and recorded. larval pupation...

The spike is the organ that contributes most to lead (Pb) accumulation in wheat grains. However, as an important photosynthetic and transpiration tissue spike, role of awn grain Pb absorption remains unknown. A field experiment was conducted investigate influence mechanism on through two comparative treatments: with without awns (de-awned treatment). de-awned treatment decreased yield by 4.1 %; however, it significantly lowered rate at late filling stage (15 days after anthesis) led a 22.8 %...

Abstract This study aimed to elucidate the ecological role of cyanobacteria‐dominated crusts on soil enzymes activities along a precipitation gradient. Results showed that proteins and polysaccharides contents cyanobacterial‐dominated changed significantly among nine sample sites. Meanwhile, displayed downward trend with increasing thickness decreased mean annual temperature, while these two first increased, then chlorophyll . The pronounced variations could be explained by shift in...
