To reduce the eutrophication caused by nitrogen and phosphorus in water, invasive plant Eupatorium adenophorum was used to prepare biochar under different pyrolysis temperatures for the co-adsorption of nitrogen and phosphorus. The influencing factors of the co-adsorption of ammonium and phosphate onto EBC and its adsorption mechanism were systematically studied. The results show that Eupatorium adenophorum biochar (EBC) has rich functional groups and high specific surface area. Low pyrolysis temperature (300 °C) and alkaline conditions are beneficial for the co-adsorption. The adsorption of ammonium and phosphate by EBC is more in line with the pseudo-second-order kinetics and Langmuir-Freundlich model (Q is 2.32 mg P/g and 1.909 mg N/g). Site energy analysis further confirms that electrostatic attraction is the main mechanism. This study shows that EBC could be used as a low-cost and effective adsorbent to simultaneously remove ammonium and phosphate from water, providing a method for resource utilization of invasive plants.

Recruitment of copiotrophic and autotrophic bacteria by hyperaccumulators enhances nutrient cycling to reclaim degraded soils at abandoned rare earth elements mining sites.

Hyperaccumulators harbor potentials for remediating rare earth elements (REEs)-contaminated soils. However, how they thrive in low-nutrient abandoned REEs mining sites is poorly understood. Three ferns (REEs-hyperaccumulators Dicranopteris pedata and Blechnum orientale, and non-hyperaccumulator Pteris vittata) along with their rhizosphere soils were collected to answer this question by comparing differences in soil nutrient levels, soil and plant REEs concentrations, and bacterial diversity, composition, and functions.

Although iron-doped hydroxyapatite (Fe-HAP) and its composites have been reported to immobilize arsenic (As), lead (Pb), and cadmium (Cd), its practical application is limited by the inefficient release of iron and phosphate. In this study, Ochrobactrum anthropic, a phosphate-solubilizing bacterium isolated from a lead-zinc smelting site, was employed to enhance multi-heavy metal immobilization in Fe-HAP-amended soils.

Inland waters face multiple threats from human activities and natural factors, leading to frequent water quality issues, particularly the significant challenge of eutrophication. Hyperspectral remote sensing provides rich spectral information, enabling timely and accurate assessment of water quality status and trends. To address the challenge of inaccurate water quality mapping, we propose a novel deep learning framework for multi-parameter estimation from hyperspectral imagery.
