[Retarding potential of biochar on antibiotic resistance genes in soil and the mechanisms: A review.].

Antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) in soil pose a major challenge to global environment and health. The development of effective technologies to reduce their negative effects has implications for maintaining soil health and human health. Biochar would be a suitable control material due to its characteristics of high carbon content, large surface area, excellent adsorption capacity, and economic advantages.

[Effects of sewage sludge compost on the growth and element uptake of Neolamarckia cadamba seedlings].

Sewage sludge compost (SSC) is rich in organic matter and nutrient elements indispensable to plant growth. Utilizing SSC as seedling growing substrate is generally recognized as a new ecological method for utilization of sewage sludge. We investigated impacts of SSC treatments including 0% (CK), 25% (T), 50% (T), 75% (T), and 100% (T) on the growth and nutrient uptake of Neolamarckia cadamba seedlings in a 7-month pot experiment.
