The effects of biochar addition on the physiological and biochemical characteristics of Vetiveria zizanioides, and the enrichment of heavy metals, were studied herein. The aim was to provide a theoretical reference for biochar to regulate the growth of V. zizanioides in the heavy metal-contaminated soil of mining areas and the enrichment capacity of Cu, Cd, and Pb.

Cadmium (Cd) contamination is a serious threat to food security and human health. The cost-effective in situ method of remediating Cd-contaminated soil uses Cd-tolerant microorganisms and Cd-enriching plants. The present study investigated the dynamic effects of inoculating soil with a Cd-tolerant bacteria strain Cdq4-2 (Enterococcus sp.

Article Synopsis
  • Bacterivorous nematodes are found in petroleum-contaminated soils, but their ecological roles and effects on microorganisms in these environments are not fully understood.
  • A study tested six different soil treatments to evaluate how nematodes and organic materials like wheat straw, rapeseed cake, and biochar affect microbial activity and diversity in contaminated soils.
  • Results indicated that both the presence of nematodes and the addition of organic materials significantly enhanced soil microbial activity and community structure, suggesting their potential use in cleaning up petroleum pollution.
