Effects of naturally aged microplastics on the distribution and bioavailability of arsenic in soil aggregates and its accumulation in lettuce. THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2024; 914:169964. [PMID: 38211862 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2024.169964] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/24/2023] [Revised: 01/02/2024] [Accepted: 01/04/2024] [Indexed: 01/13/2024]
Abstract
Naturally aged microplastics (NAMPs) and arsenic (As) have been reported to coexist in and threaten potentially to soil-plant ecosystem. The research explored the combined toxic effects of NAMPs and As to lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.) growth, and the distribution, accumulation and bioavailability of As in soil aggregates. The As contaminated soil with low, medium and high concentrations (L-As, M-As, H-As) were treated with or without NAMPs, and a total of six treatments. The results displayed that, in comparison to separate treatments of L-As and M-As, the presence of NAMPs increased the total biomass of lettuce grown at these two As concentrations by 68.9 % and 55.4 %, respectively. Simultaneous exposure of NAMPs and L-As or M-As led to a decrease in As content in shoot (0.45-2.17 mg kg-1) and root (5.68-14.66 mg kg-1) of lettuce, indicating an antagonistic effect between them. In contrast, co-exposure to H-As and NAMPs showed synergistic toxicity, and the leaf chlorophyll and nutritional quality of lettuce were also reduced. NAMPs altered the ratio of different soil aggregate fractions and the distribution of bioavailable As within them, which influenced the absorption of As by lettuce. In conclusion, these direct observations assist us in enhancing the comprehend of the As migration and enrichment characteristics in soil-plant system under the influence of NAMPs.

Role of iron manganese plaque in the safe production of rice (Oryza sativa L.) grains: Field evidence at plot and regional scales in cadmium-contaminated paddy soils. THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2023; 903:166183. [PMID: 37567314 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2023.166183] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/29/2023] [Revised: 08/06/2023] [Accepted: 08/07/2023] [Indexed: 08/13/2023]
Abstract
The relationship between iron manganese plaque (IP) and cadmium (Cd) accumulation by rice in the microenvironment of rice rhizosphere at varying field scales needs to be further explored. In this study, we selected different rice varieties and implemented tailored amendments to ensure the safe production of rice grains in heavily Cd-contaminated farmland situated around an E-waste dismantling site. Through regional surveys, we elucidated the role of IP in facilitating safe rice production. The selection of low-Cd accumulating rice varieties and application of appropriate amendments with sufficient dosages allowed for the effective reduction of Cd transport from soil to rice, resulting in a safe concentration of Cd in rice grains. Analysis using a random forest algorithm indicated that iron (Fe) played a more pivotal role than manganese in soil-rice systems in mitigating Cd accumulation in brown rice. The presence of Fe in IP (IP-Fe) at a low loading mass was unfavorable to the Cd-safe production of rice, while at an IP-Fe loading mass of 52 g/kg, the Cd content in brown rice decreased to a safe level. Furthermore, precipitation, coprecipitation, and complexation of surface functional groups contributed to Cd fixation on IP, as indicated by scanning electron microscopy coupled with energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, electron probe microanalysis, and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy with attenuated total reflection. Our results highlighted the key role of IP in the production of Cd-safe rice at different field scales.

Abstract
Cadmium (Cd) contamination in rice fields has been recognized as a severe global agro-environmental issue. To reach the goal of controlling Cd risk, we must pay more attention and obtain an in-depth understanding of the environmental behavior, uptake and translocation of Cd in soil-rice systems. However, to date, these aspects still lack sufficient exploration and summary. Here, we critically reviewed (i) the processes and transfer proteins of Cd uptake/transport in the soil-rice system, (ii) a series of soil and other environmental factors affecting the bioavailability of Cd in paddies, and (iii) the latest advances in regard to remediation strategies while producing rice. We propose that the correlation between the bioavailability of Cd and environmental factors must be further explored to develop low Cd accumulation and efficient remediation strategies in the future. Second, the mechanism of Cd uptake in rice mediated by elevated CO2 also needs to be given more attention. Meanwhile, more scientific planting methods (direct seeding and intercropping) and suitable rice with low Cd accumulation are important measures to ensure the safety of rice consumption. In addition, the relevant Cd efflux transporters in rice have yet to be revealed, which will promote molecular breeding techniques to address the current Cd-contaminated soil-rice system. The potential for efficient, durable, and low-cost soil remediation technologies and foliar amendments to limit Cd uptake by rice needs to be examined in the future. Conventional breeding procedures combined with molecular marker techniques for screening rice varieties with low Cd accumulation could be a more practical approach to select for desirable agronomic traits with low risk.

Abstract
The utilization of Cd-contaminated soil in vegetable crop production can lighten the food crisis and improve the soil environmental resilience. Intercropping is a reliable technology in safety production from contaminated soil. A field-scale experiment was carried out to unravel how plant species and pattern affect the growth and Cd uptake of Chinese cabbage from Cd contaminated land. Among all the intercropping systems designed in this study, one row of Chinese cabbage intercropping with one row of Solanum nigrum L. is the best planting mode (high yields (2.78 kg/m2) and low Cd accumulation (0.02 mg/kg) of Chinese cabbage). Combined with the in-depth joint analysis of diverse soil physicochemical features (soil nutrient characteristics and microbial community structure), biomass yield and quality, and soil microbiological properties, we elaborated that two measures (screening hyperaccumulation types and controlling planting strip width) were the major factors in determining the growth of the aboveground and underground parts of Chinese cabbage respectively, thus directly regulating the application effectiveness of intercropping technology. The intertwined mechanisms (interspecific and intraspecific relationship) of different intercropping systems are summarized, which include better utilization of space, light and other resources in the aboveground part, bioavailability of nutrient, drive of soil bacteria and alleviated soil Cd stress in the underground part, etc. Our research outputs indicate the effectiveness and feasibility of intercropping can be improved by optimizing the streamline configuration and plant mode, which provide theory of reference and practical evidence for warranting the food safety and agricultural soil remediation simultaneously.

Abstract
Fertilization is a crucial agrological measure for agricultural production that can significantly impact the removal of Cd from irrigation water by paddy crusts (PC). In this study, laboratory and field experiments were conducted to investigate the impact of fertilization at low, medium, and high concentrations on the accumulation of Cadmium (Cd) in PC and the underlying mechanisms involved. The results showed that only low fertilizer concentration could promote the removal of Cd by PC, which reduced the Cd concentration in irrigation water from 19.52 μg/L to 5.35 μg/L. Conversely, medium and high fertilizer concentrations reduced the accumulation of Cd by PC. After fertilizer addition, the proportion of Fe-Mn oxidizable-Cd in PC reached 55 % (with low concentration of fertilizer treatment). The application of low concentration of fertilizer was found to stimulate the growth of filamentous green algae, leading to a significant increase in the relative abundance of sphingomonadaceae (by 1.39 %) and comamonadaceae (by 1.29 %). The XRD, SEM and correlation analysis show that a large amount of manganese oxide is formed on the surface of PC, which increases the fixation of Cd. These findings provide a new perspective for the remediation of heavy metal contamination in paddy fields.

ECOTOXICOLOGY AND ENVIRONMENTAL SAFETY 2023; 256:114884.

Abstract
Ensuring the safe production of food and oil crops in soils with elevated cadmium (Cd) content in karst regions is crucial. We tested a field experiment to examine the long-term remediation effects of compound microorganisms (CM), strong anion exchange adsorbent (SAX), processed oyster shell (POS), and composite humic acids (CHA) on Cd contamination in paddy fields under a rice-oilseed rape rotation system. In comparison to the control group (CK), the application of amendments significantly increased soil pH, cation exchange capacity (CEC), and soil organic matter (SOM) content while markedly decreasing the content of available Cd (ACd). During the rice cultivation season, Cd was predominantly concentrated in the roots. Relative to the control (CK), the Cd content in each organ was significantly reduced. The Cd content in brown rice decreased by 19.18-85.45%. The Cd content in brown rice following different treatments exhibited the order of CM > POS > CHA > SAX, which was lower than the Chinese Food Safety Standard (GB 2762-2017) (0.20 mg/kg). Intriguingly, during the oilseed rape cultivation season, we discovered that oilseed rape possesses potential phytoremediation capabilities, with Cd mainly accumulating in roots and stems. Notably, CHA treatment alone significantly decreased the Cd content in oilseed rape grains to 0.156 mg/kg. CHA treatment also maintained soil pH and SOM content, consistently reduced soil ACd content, and stabilized Cd content in RSF within the rice-oilseed rape rotation system. Importantly, CHA treatment not only enhances crop production but also has a low total cost (1255.230 US$/hm2). Our research demonstrated that CHA provides a consistent and stable remediation effect on Cd-contaminated rice fields within the crop rotation system, as evidenced by the analysis of Cd reduction efficiency, crop yield, soil environmental change, and total cost. These findings offer valuable guidance for sustainable soil utilization and safe production of grain and oil crops in the context of high Cd concentrations in karst mountainous regions.

Abstract
High Cd pollution can damage plant physiology and seriously threaten ecological security and human health. Therefore, we designed a cropping system, arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) - soybean - Solanum nigrum L., to solve the high Cd pollution problem in an environmentally and economically friendly way. The results showed that AMF were able to break free from the constraints of cocultivation and still promote plant photosynthesis and growth in combined treatments to resist Cd stress. In addition, cocultivation combined with AMF improved the antioxidant defense to scavenge reactive oxygen species by promoting the production of antioxidant enzymes and nonenzyme substances in host plants. The glutathione content in soybean and the catalase activity in nightshade were recorded at the highest values under cocultivation combined with AMF treatment, which were 23.68% and 129.12% higher than those of monoculture without AMF treatments. The improvement in antioxidant defense alleviated oxidative stress, which was manifested by the reduction in Cd dense electronic particles in the ultrastructure and a 26.38% decrease in MDA content. Furthermore, this cropping mode combined the advantages of cocultivation to improve the Cd extraction efficiency and Rhizophagus intraradices to limit Cd accumulation and transport so that Cd was more accumulated and restricted in the roots of the cocultivated Solanum nigrum L., and the Cd concentration in soybean beans was reduced by 56% compared with the soybean monoculture without AMF treatment. Therefore, we suggest that this cropping system is a comprehensive and mild remediation technology suitable for highly Cd-contaminated soil.

Abstract
Salt-tolerant rice (sea rice) is a key cultivar for increasing rice yields in salinity soil. The co-existence of salinity and cadmium (Cd) toxicities in the plant-soil system has become a great challenge for sustainable agriculture, especially in some estuaries and coastal areas. However, little information is available on the Cd accumulating features of sea rice under the co-stress of Cd and salinity. In this work, a hydroponic experiment with combined Cd (0, 0.2, 0.8 mg/L Cd2+) and saline (0, 0.6%, and 1.2% NaCl, W/V) levels and a pot experiment were set to evaluate the Cd toxic risks of sea rice. The hydroponic results showed that more Cd accumulated in sea rice than that in the reported high-Cd-accumulating rice, Chang Xianggu. It indicated an interesting synergistic effect between Cd and Na levels in sea rice, and the Cd level rose significantly with a concomitant increase in Na level in both shoot (r = 0.54, p < 0.01) and root (r = 0.66, p < 0.01) of sea rice. Lower MDA content was found in sea rice, implying that the salt addition probably triggered the defensive ability against oxidative stress. The pot experiment indicated that the coexistent Cd and salinity stress further inhibited the rice growth and rice yield, and the Cd concentration in rice grain was below 0.2 mg/kg. Collectively, this work provides a general understanding of the co-stress of Cd and salinity on the growth and Cd accumulation of sea rice. Additional work is required to precisely identify the phytoremediation potential of sea rice in Cd-polluted saline soil.

[PMID: 36493821 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2022.160736] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/25/2022] [Revised: 11/23/2022] [Accepted: 12/03/2022] [Indexed: 06/17/2023]
Abstract
Cadmium is highly toxic and one of the most dangerous metal pollutants in soil, and poses a serious threat to human health through soil-crop-food chain transmission. Polyaspartic acid (PASP) is a biodegradable additive that is environment-friendly compared to traditional chelating agents. Current studies have explored its effect on auxiliary phytoextraction at a laboratory scale; however, the method is still rarely reported at the field scale. Therefore, this study used two ecotypes of Pennisetum sinese in a field experiment for 3 years in Jiaoxi Township, Liuyang City, Hunan Province, China, to understand the effect of PASP on the phytoremediation of Cd-contaminated soil and soil quality through long-term field studies. Moreover, because the soil microbial community responds well to the phytoremediation effect of heavy metal (including Cd)-contaminated soil, the changes in rhizosphere soil microbial community diversity and composition were analyzed. After 2 years of PASP-enhanced phytoremediation, the PASP application increased the total Cd reduction in soil by 237 % and 255 %, and the soil DTPA-extractable Cd content decreased to 0.092 and 0.087 mg kg-1. When the application of PASP ceased in the third year, the two ecotypes of P. sinese obtained after harvest could achieve feed safety. Our study showed that the application of PASP could significantly increase the Cd extraction capacity and shoot biomass of P. sinese, and maintain soil health by optimizing the composition and structure of rhizosphere bacterial communities. The rhizosphere bacterial community structure was improved and dominated by Acidobacteriota, Proteobacteria, and Chloroflexi at the phylum level, and the increased abundance of Acetobacter, Enterobacter, Pseudomonas, and Stenotrophomonas at the genus level may promote heavy metal detoxification in soil, plant growth, and phytoremediation. Long-term field monitoring demonstrated that the low-cost and eco-friendly features of PASP made it a good candidate for enhancing phytoextraction efficiency and regulating soil microbial communities for remediation.

Abstract
Dietary intake of selenium (Se)-enriched rice has benefit for avoiding Se-deficient disease, but there is a risk of excessive cadmium (Cd) intake. Through hydroponic culture and adsorption-desorption experiments, this paper focused on Se and Cd uptake in rice seedlings associated with the interactive effects of Se (Se4+ or Se6+), Cd, and iron (Fe) plaque. The formation of Fe plaque was promoted by Fe2+ and inhibited by Cd but not related with Se species. Shoot Se (Se4+ or Se6+) uptake was not affected by Fe plaque in most treatments, except that shoot Se concentrations were decreased by Fe plaque when Se4+ and Cd co-exposure. Shoot Cd concentrations were always inhibited by Fe plaque, regardless of Se species. Inhibiting Cd adsorption onto root surface (Se4+ + Cd) or increased Cd retention in Fe plaque (Se6+ + Cd) is an important mechanism for Fe plaque to reduce Cd uptake by rice. However, we found that DCB Cd concentrations (Cd adsorbed by Fe plaque) were not always positively correlated with Fe plaque amounts and always negatively correlated with the distribution ratios of Cd mass in root to that in Fe plaque (abbreviated as DRCMRF; r = - 0.942**); meanwhile, with the increase of DCB Fe concentration, the directions of variations of DCB Cd concentration and DRCMRF were affected by Se species. It indicated that the root system is also an important factor to affect DCB Cd concentration and inhibit Cd uptake, which is mediated by Se species. This paper provides a new understanding of Fe plaque-mediated interactive effect of Se and Cd uptakes in rice, which is beneficial for the remediation of Cd-contaminated and Cd-contaminated seleniferous areas.

THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2022; 851:158229. [PMID: 36007654 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2022.158229] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/15/2022] [Revised: 08/09/2022] [Accepted: 08/19/2022] [Indexed: 06/15/2023]
Abstract
Interplanting has been highlighted as a promising, cost-effective, and environmentally friendly solution for the remediation of contaminated soil. In this study, field experiments were conducted to study growth and cadmium (Cd) uptake in monoculture and interplanting systems with rice varieties Changliangyou 772 (C-772) and Changxianggu (Cho-ko-koku). And a pot culture experiment was conducted to investigate the response of the rhizosphere microecology of these two rice varieties. In the interplanting system of the field study, the Cd concentration in the grains of C-772 was significantly reduced (P < 0.05) from 0.30 mg kg-1 to 0.16 mg kg-1 and reached the national food safety standard of China (GB2762-2017, 0.20 mg kg-1), whereas the bioconcentration amount (BCA) per plant of Cd in Cho-ko-koku was significantly increased by 68.18 % (P < 0.05). The land equivalent ratio (LER) and Cd metal removal equivalent ratio (MRER) of the interplanting system were 1.03 and 1.05, illustrating that the interplanting system was superior in terms of yield and Cd elimination. In the pot experiment, the interplanting system significantly (P < 0.05) reduced the iron plaque content on the root surface and organic acids content in the rhizosphere environment of C-772 while markedly increasing those levels in Cho-ko-koku. At ripening stage, the interplanting system significantly decreased the rhizosphere available Cd concentration of C-772 from 0.38 mg kg-1 to 0.22 mg kg-1 (P < 0.05), while significantly increased the rhizosphere available Cd concentration of Cho-ko-koku from 0.27 mg kg-1 to 0.32 mg kg-1 (P < 0.05). Thus, Cd uptake of C-772 and Cho-ko-koku showed apparent differences. Oxalic and tartaric acid were identified as the most crucial factors affecting Cd uptake by C-772 and Cho-ko-koku in the interplanting system, respectively. In summary, this interplanting system is a promising planting pattern that can simultaneously improve land use efficiency and alleviate Cd pollution.

Abstract
The mechanism of silicon (Si) influencing cadmium (Cd) speciation and bioavailability in alkaline paddy soil solution remains unclear. Therefore, this study sought to elucidate the effect of Si on Cd by combining chemical analysis and rice pot experiments. In this work, the effects of Na2SiO3 alkalinity and the differences in Na+ were eliminated in all treatments, and the Cd speciation in soil solutions was determined in-situ using a Field-Donnan membrane technology (DMT) cell. Additionally, rice yields and the Cd content in various parts of the rice plant were studied. The results showed that Si application significantly increased rice biomass by 32% (P < 0.05) while significantly reduced the Cd content in brown rice by 52% (P < 0.01) and the free Cd2+ concentration in the soil solution. Further analysis of the interaction of Si and Cd using Fourier transform-infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), Raman, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) indicated that a Si-Cd complex was formed by Cd and Si-O groups. In summary, Si changed the chemical speciation of Cd in the alkaline soil solution and formed a water-soluble Si-Cd complex that the rice could not absorb, consequently reducing Cd bioavailability.

Abstract
In order to identify the key transport process that determines the Cd concentration in brown rice, this study used 21 hybrid rice varieties as experimental materials and conducted field experiments in Qiyang (cadmium-contaminated site) and Yongding (low-cadmium site). Cd concentrations in 8 organs were measured, and bioconcentration factors and transfer factor were further calculated. The results showed that the Cd concentrations of the organs related to the xylem transport were as follows: root > node > stem > leaf sheath > leaf. In the phloem, the Cd concentrations were as follows: rachis > brown rice > rice husk. And the results of the correlation analysis found that Cd concentration between brown rice and root showed a significant positive correlation in Cd-contaminated site, but no significant correlation in low-cadmium site. Meanwhile, at both experimental sites, the Cd concentration of brown rice showed the most significant correlation with the phloem transfer factor from leaf and leaf sheath to brown rice. Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and stepwise regression analysis likewise found that Cd concentration in leaf and leaf sheath and their phloem transport of Cd to brown rice were significantly and positively correlated with Cd concentration in brown rice. The above results showed that the transport of leaf and leaf sheath to brown rice was a key process, and played a more important role in the accumulation of cadmium in brown rice than in root.

Abstract
The cadmium (Cd) contaminated agricultural soil has become serious in recent years, but it will take long time for Cd-hyperaccumulator to remedy. To speed up the remediation of agricultural soil and achieve the safe agricultural production as soon as possible, the potential Cd-hyperaccumulator Solanum photeinocarpum Nakamura et Odashima was intercropped with its post-grafting generations in Cd-contaminated soil. Intercropping increased the biomass, Cd contents and Cd extractions of S. photeinocarpum and its post-grafting generations in the pot and field experiments. Both the whole plant or shoot biomass and the Cd extraction by whole plant or shoot in intercroppings had a linear regression relationship with that in monocultures. In the field experiment, intercropping increased the shoot Cd extraction of S. photeinocarpum by 9.86%-40.06% compared with the monoculture. Intercropping increased the content of chlorophyll, activity of superoxide dismutase, activity of catalase, and soluble protein content of S. photeinocarpum and its post-grafting generations but reduced their peroxidase activities in the pot experiment. Therefore, intercropping S. photeinocarpum with its post-grafting generations can improve their phytoremediation ability, and the best choice is S. photeinocarpum intercropped with its post-grafting generation of wild potato rootstock. Novelty statementIntercropping Solanum photeinocarpum Nakamura et Odashima with its post-grafting generations could mutually promote the Cd accumulation in the two types of plant species, and improve their phytoremediation ability for remedying the Cd-contaminated soil.

Abstract
The association between the rhizospheric microbial community and Cd accumulation in rice is poorly understood. A field trial was conducted to investigate the different rhizobacterial communities of two rice cultivars with high Cd accumulation (HA) and low Cd accumulation (LA) at four growth stages. Results showed that the Cd content in the roots of the HA cultivar was 1.23 - 27.53 higher than that of the LA cultivar (0.08 - 10.5 µg/plant) at four stages. The LA cultivar had a significantly lower Cd availability in rhizosphere and a higher quantity of iron plaque (IP) on the root surface than the HA cultivar at four stages. This resulted in the reduction of Cd concentration in IPs and Cd translocation from IP-to-root. Microbial analysis indicated that the LA cultivar formed a distinct rhizobacterial community from the HA cultivar and had less α-diversity. The rhizosphere of the LA cultivar was enriched in specific bacterial taxa (e.g., Massilia and Bacillus) involved in Cd immobilization by phosphate precipitation and IP formation by iron oxidization. However, the rhizosphere in the HA cultivar assembled abundant sulfur-oxidizing bacteria (e.g., Sulfuricurvum) and iron reduction bacteria (Geobacter). They promoted Cd mobilization and reduced IP formation via the metal redox process. This study reveals a potential approach in which specific rhizobacteria decrease or increase Cd accumulation in rice on contaminated soil and provides a new perspective for secure rice production.

Abstract
Tree-herb intercropping is a prospective approach for the ecological remediation of soil contaminated with potentially toxic metals (PTMs). In this study, the facilitation and microbial community response of woody plant Morus alba L. intercropped with Cd/Zn hyperaccumulator Sedum alfredii H. and pioneer plant Arundo donax L. were carried out in the PTM-contaminated soil. The results indicated that the intercropping system can improve M. alba L. growth, as well as increase its PTMs uptake. The dried biomass of M. alba L. in the intercropping system was increased observably (p < 0.05) by 55.1%. Meanwhile, the contents of chlorophyll in M. alba L. leaves, PTMs contents in M. alba L. roots, and the relative abundance of Rhizobiaceae, Singulisphaera, Isosphaeraceae, and Arthrobacter in the M. alba L. rhizosphere were also notably (p < 0.05) enhanced. Meanwhile, the interactions of microorganisms in the intercropped plants rhizosphere might contribute to improving the biological quality of the contaminated soil. Soil sucrase and acid phosphatase activities in the intercropping system were significantly (p < 0.05) increased by 97.03% and 34.91% relative to the control. Furthermore, in the intercropping system, 93.61%, 61.30%, and 79.18% of Cd, Pb, and Zn were extracted by S. alfredii H., 72.16% of Cu was extracted by A. donax L., and 46.38% of Mn was extracted by M. alba L., which indicated that the extraction amounts of PTMs among the intercropped plants were relatively compensated. The results suggested that the tree-herb intercropping might increase the coexistence of plants and facilitate the adaptability for ecological remediation of PTM-contaminated soils.

Green Manure Amendment Can Reduce Nitrogen Fertilizer Application Rates for Oilseed Rape in Maize–Oilseed Rape Rotation. PLANTS 2021; 10:plants10122640.

Abstract
Excessive use of chemical fertilizers has led to a reduction in the quality of arable land and environmental pollution. Using green manure to replace chemical fertilizers is one of the most effective solutions. To study the effect of green manure on the requirement for nitrogen fertilizer in oilseed rape, a field experiment with maize–oilseed rape rotation was conducted. Green manure was intercropped between rows of maize and returned after the maize harvest, with no green manure intercropped as control. Different nitrogen fertilizer treatments (0, 65%, 75% and 100% N rates, respectively) were applied during the oilseed rape season. The results showed that with a 35% reduction in nitrogen application rate, the rapeseed grain yield was significantly higher with the maize intercropping with green manure returned to the field than with the maize monocropping treatment at the same nitrogen level. Under conditions of intercropping and return of green manure, compared with the full standard rate of nitrogen fertilizer treatment, a reduction in nitrogen application of 25–30% in the rape season had no significant effect on rape yield. The agronomic efficiency of nitrogen fertilizer on oilseed rape increased significantly, by 47.61–121%, with green manure incorporation. In addition, green manure incorporation significantly increased the soil organic matter content and the soil-available nitrogen content when chemical nitrogen fertilization was abandoned. Benefit analysis showed that a 25–35% reduction in chemical nitrogen fertilizer applied to oilseed rape crops could be achieved by intercropping green manure in the maize season before the sowing of rapeseed in the experimental area. In the long-term, this measure would increase nitrogen utility, reduce production costs, and have concomitant environmental benefits of improving the quality of cultivated land.

Abstract
Due to the biomagnifying effect in the food chains, heavy metals will cause serious harm to the food produced in paddy soil, and then threaten human health. The remediation of soil heavy metals by the addition of amendments is a common method. However, the combination of the two amendments has been less studied and its effect is unknown. In this study, we investigated the effects of different concentrations of a lime and calcium-magnesium phosphate (CMP) amendments metal availability and paddy soil bacteria biodiversity. The experiment proves that the addition of 0.5 and 1.0‰ amendment can effectively reduce cadmium (Cd) availability and the cadmium content in rice to be below 0.2 mg/kg, meeting the national food safety level. The results demonstrate that increasing pH and phosphorous (P) in soil were two important factors decreasing available cadmium. Furthermore, biodiversity analysis of the treated soil showed that the amendment increased biodiversity. Proteobacteria and Chloroflex were the most abundant bacteria at the phylum level, followed by Acidobacterium and Nitrospirae. The abundance of Bacterodietes-vadinHA17, Syntrophaceae, and Thiobacillus increased as phosphorous increased. Cadmium passivation might induce those species.

Rhizosphere dissolved organic matter and iron plaque modified by organic amendments and its relations to cadmium bioavailability and accumulation in rice. THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2021; 792:148216.

Abstract
Organic amendments can modify rhizosphere dissolved organic matter (DOM) properties and Fe-plaque quantity, thereby affecting cadmium (Cd) bioavailability and uptake by rice. Pot experiments were conducted to investigate effects of biochar (BC) and vermicompost (VC) at different rates (0, 1%, and 5%) on rhizosphere DOM characteristics and Fe-plaque quantity, and their impacts on Cd bioavailability and accumulation in high and low Cd-accumulation rice cultivars (HAC and LAC). Soil DOM was characterized by ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) and fluorescence excitation-emission matrix (EEM) spectrum analyses. Hydroponic experiments were conducted to investigate effects of BC- or VC-derived DOM combined Fe-plaque on Cd uptake by rice. Results showed that increasing rates of organic amendments increased DOM concentration while decreased Cd availability in rhizosphere and bulk soils and Cd contents in rice tissues. The Cd reduction in LAC grains (31.9%-72.7%) was better than that in HAC grains (6.3%-25.4%) after organic amendment addition. Soil DOM properties were modified by organic amendments towards higher aromaticity, molecular weight, and stability. VC resulted in a greater increase of humic-like fractions but reduced protein-like proportions in rhizosphere DOM over BC. Negative correlations were observed between humic-like fractions and available Cd in the rhizosphere. Likewise, VC (especially 5%VC) promoted the formation of Fe-plaque and limited Cd soil-to-root transport, while BC groups showed a reverse trend. The results of hydroponic experiments confirmed BC- and VC-derived DOM and Fe-plaque further inhibited Cd uptake by rice via the complexation with Cd and the sequestration of Cd, respectively. Hence, VC application combined with low Cd-accumulation rice could be an effective strategy for the safe utilization of Cd-contamination soils.

Abstract
Cadmium (Cd) pollution highly threatens food security and human health, and phytoremediation with Cd-tolerant plants is a cost-effective in situ method for remediation of Cd contamination. Broomcorn millet is known for its strong abiotic stress resistance and can be used as a pioneer crop in both marginal regions and newly reclaimed land. To evaluate their potential in remediation of Cd contamination, a total of 288 broomcorn millet core collections were investigated under hydroponic conditions to compare their capabilities in Cd tolerance, translocation, and accumulation. The core collections varied considerably in their growth parameters, Cd concentration, Cd translocation factor, Cd bioaccumulation factor, and Cd accumulation under Cd stress. According to the Cd tolerance index (TI) values, 160 varieties were Cd tolerant. The Cd TI was significantly positively correlated with Cd accumulation, and the shoot Cd concentrations of five Cd-tolerant varieties were more than 100 mgkg-1, the threshold for being Cd hyperaccumulators. Moreover, the concentrations of essential metal elements were significantly decreased in shoots, and Cd concentration had a significantly positive relationship with magnesium (Mg) and zinc (Zn) concentrations in roots under Cd stress. These results demonstrate that broomcorn millet shows considerable tolerance to Cd stress and great differences in Cd accumulation abilities among varieties. Accordingly, broomcorn millet is a promising plant species for Cd bioremediation, with valuable varieties that have been identified for further study on Cd tolerance mechanisms and the remediation of Cd contamination.

Abstract
Moso bamboo is considered a potential species for heavy metal (HM) phytoremediation; however, the effect of intercropping on rhizosphere and phytoextraction remains to be elucidated. We comparatively investigated rhizobacteria, soil properties, and phytoextraction efficiency of monoculture and intercropping of Moso bamboo and Sedum plumbizincicola in Cu/Zn/Cd-contaminated soil. Compared with monocultures, intercropping increased the bacterial α-diversity indices (Shannon, Chao1) and the number of biomarkers. Intercropping reduced the contents of soil organic matter (SOM), available nutrients, and Cd and Cu in rhizosphere soils, and reduced the Cd and Zn contents in tissues of sedum. By contrast, Cd and Zn contents in tissues of bamboo increased, and the increase of organic acid in root exudates from intercropping could facilitate the HM absorption. The total amount of Cu, Zn, and Cd removed from the soil in intercropping system was 1.2, 1.9, and 1.8 times than those in monoculture bamboo, respectively. The abundances of Proteobacteria, Acidobacteria, Verrucomicrobia and Actinobacteria were higher in intercropping, playing an important role in soil nutrient cycles and HM remediation. These bacterial communities were closely correlated (P < 0.01) with SOM, available nitrogen, available phosphorus, and HMs. The results suggested this intercropping pattern can increase HM removal efficiency from polluted soils.

Abstract
In this study, 0, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 4, 6 and 8 mg·kg-1 of cadmium were added to the cultivation materials. In order to study the effects of different concentrations of Cd stress on J1 and J77, the contents of antioxidant enzymes, proline and malondialdehyde, Cd content, agronomic traits and yield of fruiting bodies of Agaricus brasiliensis were determined, and the nutritional components such as polysaccharide, triterpene, protein, total sugar and total amino acid were determined. The results showed that the physiological indexes of strain J1 and J77 changed regularly under different concentrations of Cd stress. J1 was a high absorption and low tolerance variety, while J77 was a low absorption and high tolerance variety. Low concentration of Cd promoted the growth of strain J1, and higher concentration of Cd promoted the growth of strain J77. The contents of protein and total amino acids in the two strains changed greatly, followed by polysaccharides, which indicated that Cd stress had the greatest impact on the three nutrients, and other nutrients were not sensitive to Cd stress.
