“…Accumulating heavy metals in soils can diminish the population of soil microbes, and thereby worsen the soil quality (Chu, 2018). Moreover, the heavy metals can be absorbed by plants and disseminate through the food chains (Albayrak & Pekgöz, 2021). In China, Wang et al (2003) identified that 24% of heavy metals were aggregated in the grains cultivated in heavy-metals-contaminated paddy fields.…”

ornamental species, meaning it is safe to use biosolids as fertilizers. The 10% concentration of biosolids also performed the best in nutrient balance efficiency, followed by soil treated with 20% CM. The results indicated that the function of biosolids and CM was significant, and these could be a substitute for biochar and WWC use in soils. Biosolid-amended soil can be one of the methods to relieve the landfill loading problem in Hong Kong.

The analysis of metal concentrations in feathers and the micronuclei (MN) and other nuclear abnormalities (NA) test in birds are tools used for evaluating the impacts that anthropogenic actions have been causing to the environment and organisms. Here we used these biomarkers to investigate the response of birds to disturbances observed in three areas with different environmental characteristics (natural, agricultural and urban) in southern Brazil. We obtained a diverse sample (108 individuals from 25 species and 17 families) without signi cant differences in metal concentrations, frequency of MN and AN between sampling points.The concentrations of zinc (Zn) and copper (Cu) were signi cantly different between trophic guilds (Zn: p = 0.0006, Cu: p = 0.04) and age classes (Zn: p = 0.01, Cu: p = 0.03). Omnivore birds contributed to the increase in the number of MN (∆AICc: 0.00; w = 0.40) and NA, which was also in uenced by age classes and body condition index (BCI) (∆AICc: 0.00; w = 0.34; ∆AICc: 0.89; w = 0.22; ∆AICc: 1.15; w = 0.19; ∆AICc: 1.33; w = 0.18). We showed that in a diverse sample of birds, the variables analyzed affected each biomarker in distinct ways.
