Abstract
Authorities have long proved the utility of bioindicators in monitoring the state of environmental pollution. Some biological indicators can measure environmental pollutant levels, and many tree species have been tested for suitability for monitoring purposes. The differences in morphological characteristics in the trees have demonstrated the effects of human activities on different materials. Measuring bark and wood biomass from contaminated sites was identified and directly compared with those from a clean site or areas characterized by distinct contamination sources. However, preliminary results demonstrate the approach's potential in the realization of strategies for disease control and promoting health to reduce environmental and health inequalities in at-risk urban areas. Picea orientalis L. and Cedrus atlantica Endl., especially their bark, can be regarded as a more robust storage of Cu (37.95 mg/kg) and Mn (188.25 mg/kg) than Pinus pinaster, Cupressus arizonica, and Pseudotsuga menziesii, which and is therefore a better bioindicator for Cu and Mn pollution. Considering the total concentrations as a result of the study, the pollution is thought to be caused by environmental problems and traffic in the region. The deposition of Cu, Mn, Ni, and Zn elements was found P. menziesii (60, 443, 58, and 258 mg/kg) and P. orientalis (76, 1684, 41, and 378 mg/kg) and seems to reflect atmospheric quite clearly compared to P. pinaster, C. arizonica, and C. atlantica. Ni and Zn concentrations have significantly increased since 1983, and P. menziesii and P. orientalis can be potentially valuable bioindicators for emphasizing polluted fields.

Bioaccumulation and potential ecotoxicological effects of trace metals along a management intensity gradient in volcanic pasturelands. CHEMOSPHERE 2021; 273:128601.

Abstract
The particularities of volcanic soils raise the need to better understand the link between soil agricultural management intensity and trace metal bioaccumulation. The Azores are a region characterized by volcanic soils, which were changed in different degrees according to the intensity of the agricultural practices. The main objective of this study was to assess the potential ecotoxicological effects of the trace metals present in volcanic pastureland soils along a gradient of management intensity (i.e., semi-natural, permanent and reseeded), using earthworms (Eisenia fetida) as biological indicators. For this purpose earthworms were exposed during 7, 14, 28 and 56 days to soils from the three types of pastures. At each exposure time, we quantified trace element bioaccumulation (As, Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Hg, Li, Mn, Mo, Ni, Pb, Rb, U, V and Zn) and the activities of superoxide dismutase and acetylcholinesterase in earthworm tissues. Overall, the results showed that the type of pastureland management significantly increased the soil contents in trace metals: V, Co, Ni and Zn in semi-natural pasturelands; As, Cd and Hg in reseeded pasturelands; and, Rb and U in both permanent and reseeded pasturelands. The soil physicochemical properties observed in the reseeded pastureland systems (higher electric conductivity values associated with a moderately acid pH value) modulated the metal bioavailability, from soil to biota, leading to a greater Hg bioaccumulation in earthworm tissues. The long-term exposure (56 days) of earthworms to reseeded pastureland soil was associated with adverse biological effects (intensification of AChE activity and decrease of SOD activity), encompassing key processes such as neurotransmission and antioxidant defence mechanisms in resident soil biota (earthworms). This study point towards the increased importance of semi-natural and permanent pastureland management, over the intensive management (reseeded pasturelands), in favour of more sustainable ecosystems.

Abstract
Basaltic rocks play a significant role in CO2 sequestration from the atmosphere during their weathering. Moreover, the primary microorganisms that colonize them, by providing mineral elements and nutrients, are shown to promote growth of diverse heterotrophic communities and plants, therefore positively impacting Earth's long-term climate balance. However, the first steps of microbial colonization and subsequent rock weathering remain poorly understood, especially regarding microbial communities over a chronological sequence. Here, we analyzed the microbial communities inhabiting the soil developed in crevices on lava flows derived from different eruptions on Fogo Island. Investigated soils show typically low carbon and nitrogen content and are relatively similar to one another regarding their phylogenetic composition, and similar to what was recorded in large soil surveys with dominance of Actinobacteria and Proteobacteria. Moreover, our results suggest a stronger effect of the organic carbon than the lava flow age in shaping microbial communities as well as the possibility of exogenous sources of bacteria as important colonizers. Furthermore, archaea reach up to 8.4% of the total microbial community, dominated by the Soil Crenarchaeotic Group, including the ammonium-oxidizer Candidatus Nitrososphaera sp. Therefore, this group might be largely responsible for ammonia oxidation under the environmental conditions found on Fogo.

Abstract
Climate and rich volcanic soils of Fogo Island (Cape Verde) are optimal conditions for grape agriculture. This study aims a first evaluation of the bioaccumulation of essential and non-essential elements in different parts of vines of the same variety (Vitis vinifera L.), grown on recent pyroclasts and lahar deposits. Chemical composition was obtained by instrumental neutron activation analysis. A general decrease of the chemical contents occurs in the following order: barks, leaves, and grapes. Lower chemical contents were found in the grapes cultivated on the lahar deposit, except for barium. Potassium and bromine are the most accumulated. A tendency for lower transfer coefficients and enrichment factors (EF) of the chemical elements studied occur in vines grown in lahar. Significant EF of the majority of the elements studied were observed, particularly in leaves and grapes. Among the rare earth elements (REE), the heavy ones are significantly enriched in grapes. Slight positive Eu anomalies occur, which can be explained as inherited from the soil, and by a preferential uptake of Eu2+, replacing Ca2+. Among potential harmful chemical elements, significant EF (> 10) for Cr, As, Sb, W, and U in the two vines occur. Although its low concentration, the results obtained point to U bioavailability. The bioaccumulation of some chemical elements in vines from Fogo Island may be due to several factors of geogenic/natural origin, namely soil composition, airborne fine particles, and the climatic conditions of aridity with a potential availability when raindrops fall.

Abstract
Rare earth elements (REEs) are increasingly used in high-tech industry, agriculture, and healthcare technologies what leads to their release into soils and waters, and to the transfer into plants what may have negative impacts on human health and the environment. The toxicity and potential mobilization of REEs in soils can be assessed by their content and geochemical behavior along with soil properties. However, those interactions are so far not reviewed in German soils although such a review is important for a better understanding and prediction of the potential mobilization and toxicity. Therefore, this review summarizes the recent knowledge about REE contents and potential mobilization in different soil profiles in Germany. We found that the REE content tends to decrease in dependence on the parent material in the following order: Carbonatite > basalt > orthogneiss > clay slate > loess > sandstone > Pleistocene and Holocene sediments > organic material. Also, we used data of earlier studies, summarized and newly evaluated those data aiming to quantify the factors influencing the total REE content in German soil profiles. The contents of REEs in soil profiles of different parent material showed significant relations with content of clay, carbonate, organic matter, aluminium, iron, and manganese. Geochemical fractionation results suggest that the bioavailability of REEs is relatively low while the residual fraction is relatively high in German soils. In soils, where water fluctuations are important, the redox potential is a key factor controlling the mobilization of REEs also via related changes of pH.
