“…Our data reveal that the elements accumulation of B. decumbens tissues (whole plant), follows the trend Fe > Mn > Zn > Cu > Cr, whereas in Stylosanthes guianensis and Saccharum officinarum , a similar pattern was found, except for the Zn and Cu positions, which were reversed (Tables 3, 4, and 5). These results indicate that there are no major changes in the common pattern of accumulation of these micronutrients (Wang et al 2018). On the other hand, regarding the background site (control), the plants collected in affected areas showed, in most cases, quantitative changes in the concentration of the elements, with greater accumulation of Fe, Mn, Cu, and Cr (Tables 3, 4, and 5).…”

The objective of this study was to evaluate the concentration of potentially toxic elements in Brachiaria decumbens, Stylosanthes guianensis, and Saccharum officinarum plants and soil samples in affected and unaffected areas by rupture of the Fundão dam, Brazil. Samples were collected in areas affected by residues from the Fundão dam (RAA1, RAA2, RAA3) and in an unaffected area (control). The material was analyzed for the composition of micronutrients and trace elements in soil and plants, as well as contamination factor (CF), accumulation factor, and translocation factor (TF). Overall, the results showed that soil and plant tissues had increased Fe, Mn, Cu, and Cr content and decreased Zn content in the affected areas, compared to the control. Leaves and roots of B. decumbens showed an increase in Fe content in affected areas, compared to the control, reaching a mean maximum value of 42 958 µg/g of roots of RAA2‐collected plants. As a result, CF for Fe of B. decumbens was classified as very high and they presented low TF values. Furthermore, B. decumbens collected in affected areas showed an increase of Fe, Mn, Cu, and Cr in leaves, stems, and roots, whereas in Stylosanthes guianensis, there was an increase of Fe concentration in all tissues and Cr in leaves. Also, Saccharum officinarum showed the accumulation of Mn in the stem and Cu in leaves and stem. On the other hand, there was no contamination of plants by hazardous elements such as Pb, Cd, and As in the samples analyzed. In conclusion, increases in the content of Fe, Mn, Cu, and Cr were found in soil and several plant tissues of residue‐affected areas, which could compromise plant growth and represent potential hazards arising from the biomagnification process in the food chain.

“…It might be due to reduction of organic carbon in the sub surface horizons. Surface horizons had higher concentration of DTPA-extractable Fe due to relatively higher organic carbon in surface horizons (Shah et al, 2012 and Wang et al, 2018) [23,27] . The available Manganese content varied from medium to high in general with a range of 16.50 to 36.94 ppm with the mean range of 25.01 ppm.…”

Nine typical pedons from Langate Block of Kupwara district during 2017 were selected and surveyed for the purpose of collection of soil samples. The soil samples processed and analyzed for different nutrients. Available Micro and Macro nutrients were determined using standard techniques. The overall results showed that the soils are near slightly acidic to moderate alkaline in reaction, low to medium in organic carbon. In general the soils The available nutrients Nitrogen and Potassium were low to medium with the mean values of 287.99 and 149.69 kg ha -1 , whereas Phosphorus and Sulphur were low to high with the mean values of 35.80 and 10.85 kg ha -1 ., respectively. The micronutrient cations Viz Zinc, Copper and Manganese were medium to high and iron was low to high.

“…This explanation is also supported by the positive relationship between SOM and available micronutrients (Figure 4) (Ray et al., 2021). However, we found that orchards treated with engineering measures had the lowest available Fe and Mn, probably due to the lower SOM content (H. Liu et al., 2021; Wang et al., 2018).…”

Biological conservation measures are better than engineering conservation measures in improving soil quality of eroded orchards in southern China

Both biological and engineering measures have proven to be effective soil and water conservation practices for eroded environments, whereas how the soil quality varies with them remains unclear. In this study, we measured soil properties in the 0-to-100-cm soil layer of eroded orchards in southern China after 17-yr of application of different conservation measures. The purpose of the experiment was to examine the effect of biological (grass planting, intercropping) and engineering measures (terrace) on the soil quality of eroded orchards. We selected an orchard plot with traditional clean-tillage as control. In comparison, soil pH, organic carbon, total phosphorus, microbial carbon, available potassium, and available microelements contents increased significantly in orchards with biological measures, and the improvements were more dramatic in orchards planting grass in strips. However, biological measures significantly reduced the mean weight diameter of aggregates. Engineering measures significantly increased the soil pH of orchards but decreased the contents of available iron and available manganese. The soil quality index (SQI)

Soil properties determine the elevational patterns of base cations and micronutrients in plant-soil system up to the upper limits of trees and shrubs

Abstract: To understand whether base cations and micronutrients in the plant-soil system change with elevation, we investigated the patterns of base cations and micronutrients in both soils and plant tissues along three elevational gradients and three different
