The influence of elevated CO on bacterial community structure and its co-occurrence network in soils polluted with CrO nanoparticles.

Elevated CO (eCO) and nanoparticles release are considered among the most noteworthy global concerns as they may impose negative effects on human health and ecosystem functioning. A mechanistic understanding of their combined impacts on soil microbiota is essential due to the profound eCO effect on soil biogeochemical processes. In this study, the impacts of CrO nanoparticles (nano-CrO) on the activity, structure and co-occurrence networks of bacterial communities under ambient and eCO were compared between a clay loam and a sandy loam soil.

Growth and Photosynthetic Inhibition of Cerium Oxide Nanoparticles on Soybean (Glycine max).

Cerium oxide nanoparticles (CeO NPs) are widely used in industries and have caused environmental problems. However, the phytotoxicity induced by CeO NPs lacks detailed information on phytotoxicity. In this research, the effect of CeO NPs on soybean plants (Glycine max) was studied.
