This research aimed to explore the potential and mechanism of heat modified sawdust combined with Festuca arundinacea for the remediation of Pb-contaminated soil. We determined Pb concentration and biochemical indices in plants and soils, analyzed microbial communities in soil, and studied Pb distribution in subcellular and tissues. Under co-remediation of 5% material addition and Festuca arundinacea, the concentration of Pb in soil decreased. Pb toxicity of Festuca arundinacea was alleviated by 2% material addition through the promotion of plant growth and reduction of oxidative stress. In addition, soil enzyme activities and microbial community in contaminated soil were promoted by the application of co-remediation. Festuca arundinacea cell wall accumulated a large amount of Pb, and the addition of material promoted the accumulation of Pb in Festuca arundinacea root. The concentration of Pb in the shoot of the plant treated with 2% material was higher than that of the plant treated with 5% material, and the damage of Festuca arundinacea leaves was lower under 2% treatment. The combination of heat modified sawdust and Festuca arundinacea promoted the adsorption of Pb by plants, and protected the growth of plants.

Vegetation concrete is one of the most widely used substrates in ecological slope protection, but its practical application often limits the growth and nutrient uptake of plant roots due to consolidation problems, which affects the effectiveness of slope protection. This paper proposed the use of a plant protein foaming agent as a porous modifier to create a porous, lightweight treatment for vegetation concrete. Physical performance tests, direct shear tests, plant growth tests, and scanning electron microscopy experiments were conducted to compare and analyze the physical, mechanical, microscopic characteristics, and phyto-capabilities of differently treated vegetation concrete.

Tall fescue ( ) is a widely adopted forage and turf grass. This is partly due to a fungal endophyte, which confers both abiotic and biotic stress tolerance. Although PCR primers exist to test for endophyte presence, these were not designed to quantitatively analyze the amount of fungus in the plant.

The granite rubble soil produced through excavation during construction is nutrient-poor and has a simplified microbial community, making it difficult for plants to grow and increasing the challenges of ecological restoration. Recent studies have demonstrated that microbial inoculants significantly promote plant growth and are considered a potential factor influencing root development. Microorganisms influence root development either directly or indirectly, forming beneficial symbiotic relationships with plant roots.

With the widespread application of graphene oxide (GO), its potential toxicity has received increasing attention. The extraradical mycelium of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) can extend from the roots of one plant to those of another, forming complex common mycorrhizal networks (CMNs) for the transfer of nutrients and infochemicals. However, the impact of GO on the structure and transfer function of CMNs remains unknown.
