Article Synopsis
- Synthetic chelators can enhance microbial biomass carbon (MBC), dissolved organic carbon (DOC), and the solubility of heavy metals in contaminated soils, aiding agricultural sustainability.
- In a study with castor plants, different chelating agents (HEDTA, HNTA, NH citrate) were tested in both contaminated and uncontaminated soils, revealing NH citrate and HEDTA as the most effective in increasing bioavailable cadmium (Cd) levels.
- Results showed significant increases in MBC and DOC, suggesting further research is necessary to understand how these chelators could improve the removal of Cd using plants in real-world conditions.

However, the relationship between fine root dynamics and tree growth has not been studied in reclaimed oil sands sites.
