THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2023; 864:161039. [PMID: 36549525 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2022.161039] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/06/2022] [Revised: 11/24/2022] [Accepted: 12/15/2022] [Indexed: 06/17/2023]
Abstract
As the inter-tidal regions between land and ocean, mangrove ecosystems have high polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) content, and the over accumulation of PAHs in mangrove wetland poses a serious ecological risk to the health of plant and living creatures. Comparison to the agricultural sources -biochar, biochar produced from wetland plant has lower O/C (molar ratio), larger N contents, higher stability and more benefits. However, whether the rhizosphere action occurs in biochar- amended sediment and how to influence the biogeochemical behavior of PAH have rarely been reported. In this context, a leaching procedure and pot experiment (60-d) were performed on migration and transformation of PAH at the sediment, and toxicity and their bioavailability in plant affected by the presence of Kandelia obovate-derived biochar in Southeast China. Root exudates amendments significantly increased the cumulative leaching-loss of pyrene by 36-51 % with or without biochar amendment via continuous diffusion and partition process, and biochar amendments decreased the bioavailability of pyrene (16.8-25.8 %) probably due to a faster pyrene sorption on inter-phase transport against desorption. The regression analysis indicated a significant relationship (p < 0.05) between leachate pH and pyrene concentrations. Notably, the bioaccumulation of pyrene on K. obovate parts had significant negative correlation (p < 0.05) to biochar. The activities of four key antioxidizes (phenylalanine ammonia-lyase, dismutases, peroxidases and catalases) were significantly decreased with the application of biochar. Moreover, biochar plays a positive role in cytochrome C release and phosphatidylserine secretion, and a combined biochar-rhizosphere approach can improve the stress tolerance and resistance of K. obovate with an enhanced synergetic effect, which could be a feasible remediation strategy for alleviating the mangrove sediment contaminated by PAH.

Zhang X, Chen Z, Yu Y, Liu Z, Mo L, Sun Z, Lin Z, Wang J. Response of bacterial diversity and community structure to metals in mangrove sediments from South China. THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2022; 850:157969. [PMID: 35985575 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2022.157969] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/23/2022] [Revised: 07/25/2022] [Accepted: 08/07/2022] [Indexed: 06/15/2023]
Abstract
Human activities have given rise to metal contamination in the constituents of mangrove ecosystems, posing a critical threat to sediment microorganisms; hence, it is of great importance to comprehend the effects of metals on the microbial communities in mangrove sediments. This study was the first to explore the response of the bacterial diversity and community structure to nine metals (As, Co, Cr, Cu, Mn, Ni, Pb, V and Zn) and organic matter fractions (including total organic carbon (TOC), total nitrogen (TN), and total sulfur (TS)) in mangrove wetlands from Zhanjiang, China, using 16S rRNA high-throughput sequencing technology and Spearman correlation analysis. The results showed that these nine metals were scattered differently in different mangrove sediments, and the metals and organic matter fractions jointly affected the bacterial communities in the sediments. Several metals displayed significant positive correlations with the abundances of the phylum Bacteroidetes and the genera Actibacter and Sphingobacterium but significant negative correlations with the abundances of two genera Holophaga and Caldithrix. Furthermore, the abundances of the phylum Actinobacteria and many bacterial genera showed significant positive or negative responses to the levels of the three organic matter fractions. Interestingly, the levels of a number of bacterial genera that exhibited increased abundance with high levels of metals and TS might be reduced with high TOC and TN, and vice versa: the levels of genera that exhibited decreased abundance with high levels of metals and TS might be increased with high TOC and TN. Overall, many bacterial groups showed different response patterns to each metal or organic matter fraction, and these metals together with organic matter fractions influenced the bacterial diversity and community structure in mangrove sediments.

Abstract
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are organic pollutants of increasing concern in the different fields of the environment and human health. There are 16 of them that are recognized as priority pollutants by the US environmental protection agency due to their mutagenic and carcinogenic potentials. Due to their hydrophobicity and stability, they are persistent in the environment and can be transported over long distances. Their toxicological effects on multiple species, including humans, as well as their bioaccumulation in the food web became major topics in organic pollutants research this last decade. In the environment, multiple studies have been conducted on their accumulation in the soil and their degradation processes resulting in numerous review papers. However, the dynamics of PAHs in mangrove ecosystems is not yet completely understood. In this review paper, an exhaustive presentation of what is known about PAHs and their transfer, accumulation, and degradation in mangrove ecosystems is offered. This article brings to light the knowledge already acquired on the subject and the perspective research necessary to fully comprehend PAHs dynamics in mangrove ecosystems.
