A total of 29 surface farmland soil samples were collected to investigate the spatial distribution and composition characteristics of 13 organophosphorus flame retardants (OPFRs), 11 polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs), and 8 novel brominated flame retardants (NBFRs) in Chengdu, China. The OPFRs were widely detected in the farmland soil with concentrations ranging from 2.92 to 160 ng g dry weight (dw). BDE-209 was found with a concentration range of n.d. to 50.4 ng g dw, and was the main PBDE congener accounting for 90% of ΣPBDEs in the surface farmland soil. In the case of NBFRs, only TBB and BTBPE were detected in the farmland soil from rural areas of Chengdu. There was no obvious spatial distribution of the OPFRs among different administrative regions in Chengdu (p > 0.05), but the maximum concentration of OPFRs was found in a furniture production area. Leaching experiments showed that the concentration of most of the investigated OPFRs in two kinds of soils with different mechanical compositions and TOC contents decreased with the increase of soil depth. Addition of DOM could decrease the OPFR levels in the leachate by less than 25%, with the exception of TCPP, which decreased by up to 45%. More importantly, TCEP and TCPP exhibited stronger mobility than the other OPFRs in soil, and the migration capacity of TCPP was more sensitive to the DOM level, indicating that TCEP might more easily migrate from soil to groundwater in the nature.

Naturally aged microplastics (NAMPs) are commonly found in farmland soils contaminated with heavy metals (HMs), such as arsenic (As) and cadmium (Cd); yet their combined effects on soil-plant ecosystems remain poorly understood. In this study, we investigated the toxic effects of NAMPs and As-Cd on lettuce, considering the influence of earthworm activity, and examined changes in As-Cd bioavailability in the rhizosphere. Four experimental systems were established: soil-only, soil-lettuce, soil-earthworms, and soil-lettuce-earthworms systems, with four NAMPs concentrations (0, 0.

The extensive mining of bastnasite (CeFCO) has caused pollution of lanthanum (La), cerium (Ce), and fuorine (F) in the surrounding farmland soil, severely threatening the safety of the soil ecosystem. However, the interaction effects of various chemical fractions of La, Ce, and F on the composition of microbial communities are unclear. In our study, high-throughput sequencing was performed based on the pot experiments of four types of combined pollution soils, i.

Non-grain utilization of cultivated land threatens farmland ecological environment and soil health, which restricts grain production. To identify the key obstacle factors of cultivated soil under non-grain utilization, explore the changes of soil quality and function, and evaluate the effects of non-grain utilization on the health of farmland soil, we evaluated soil health of farmland under different non-grain utilization types (vegetables, bamboo-abandoned, nursery-grown plant-abandoned, nursery-grown plant-rice) by soil quality index and soil multifunctionality index method combined with sensitivity and resistance approaches. The results showed that soil organic carbon and total nitrogen (TN) in the bamboo-abandoned soil were 95.

We elucidated the changes of soil microbial biomass and community structure in soil profiles under four typical land use types (farmland, grassland, secondary forest and plantation)and across five soil layers (0-10, 10-20, 20-30, 30-40, 40-50 cm) in the northern mountainous region of Hebei Province. We measured soil microbial biomass by phospholipid fatty acid (PLFA) method, and investigated the effects of land use and soil depth on soil microbial biomass and community structure by variance analysis, correlation analysis and redundancy analysis. The results showed that soil water content, bulk density, and organic carbon content of farmland differed significantly from other land use types.
