Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Sun-lin Chi"
- Sun-lin Chi’s research predominantly focuses on the environmental impacts of antibiotic residues and heavy metals, particularly tetracycline antibiotics and cadmium, on agricultural systems, including their effects on soil health and vegetable growth.
- The studies reveal that residual tetracycline antibiotics in soils can detrimentally affect the growth of crops like lettuce and Chinese cabbage, as well as alter soil microbial dynamics and enzyme activity, urging the need for management practices to mitigate these impacts.
- Chi’s research also investigates the use of nano and ordinary zeolites to improve soil properties, reduce cadmium uptake in vegetables, and enhance antioxidant enzyme activities, indicating potential remediation strategies for contaminated soils.
