Methods: These goals were achieved through (i) a histochemical study of Cd localization in pea roots, (ii) spectrophotometric determination of pectin content and the activity of pectin methylesterase (PME), (iii) speciation of Cd extracted from pea roots conducted through size exclusion chromatography (SEC) and inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP/MS). Results: Cd was found mainly in the root stele of the Cd-stressed plants. The pectin content and PME activity were lower in the Cd-stressed plants, but Si supplementation reversed these effects. Selectivity was noticed in Cd extraction efficiency with water being the least effective and enzymatic-assisted extraction proving to be the most effective. Speciation analysis revealed significant heterogeneity in molar mass, ranging from approximately 295 to 95 kDa. Galacturonic acid was identified the dominant species responsible for Cd binding. The choice of solvent for extraction markedly influenced the Cd binding profile, indicating shifts in the distribution of species’ molar mass and their relative concentrations in extracts. Conclusions: Si alleviates Cd toxicity in pea plants, and one of the mechanisms through which it operates involves increasing pectin levels and PME activity. Pectin plays an active role in Cd detoxification in the root cell walls, forming electrostatic bonds with Cd cations through its carboxyl groups.</p>","PeriodicalId":17042,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Soil Science and Plant Nutrition","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2024-07-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141613791","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We collected 544 composite topsoil samples from this region to investigate the relationship between soil properties and land use types. We analyzed how climate factors affects soil properties using geostatistics, ArcGIS, Mantel test, structural equation modeling, and random forest regression. We observed moderate levels of total nitrogen (TN), soil organic matter (SOM), total phosphorus (TP), and total potassium (TK) content, characterized by a strong overall trend in TP and TK. Furthermore, the spatial distribution of soil water content (SWC), salt salinity (SS), and electrical conductivity (EC) displayed a patchy pattern, with high-value regions predominantly concentrated in the southern, western, and northwestern areas. Path modeling unveiled the substantial influence of mean annual relative humidity (MARH) and mean annual temperature (MAT) on SOM in farmlands and park-green lands. In contrast, mean annual precipitation (MAP), MAT, and MARH exerted notable total effects on SOM in woodlands. Significant variations in soil physicochemical characteristics were observed among different land use types, particularly notable in farmlands and inland tidal flats compared to woodlands and park-green lands.

Biochar, containing various elements such as carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus, possesses a porous structure with strong adsorption capabilities. This characteristic renders it useful for ameliorating acidic soils, influencing soil nitrogen cycling, and mitigating greenhouse gas emissions. To quantitatively analyze the diverse impacts of different biochar on soil nitrogen cycling and to highlight its implications for sustainable agriculture, this study collected 155 relevant articles and conducted a comprehensive meta-analysis. The results indicate that biochar can elevate the pH by 4.60% for acidic soils and significantly increase soil organic carbon content by 64.60%. Different feedstocks, such as Wooden Biochar (WB), Crop Husk (CH) Biochar, Crop Straw Biochar (CS), and Organic Waste Biochar (OW), exhibit distinct effects, with WB and OW showing the most significant increases in SOC. Pyrolysis temperature is also a critical factor, and biochar produced at medium and high temperatures enhances pH more effectively than low-temperature biochar. Additionally, biochar enhances the abundance of the nitrogen functional gene <i>amoA-</i>AOB by 25.58%, promoting ammonia oxidation, reducing ammonia (NH<sub>3</sub>) emissions by 16.39%. Experimental setups also influence outcomes that biochar application in woods and incubation studies significantly reduced nitrous oxide (N<sub>2</sub>O) emissions compared to pot and field experiments. The findings suggest that adding biochar to soil accelerates nitrogen cycling, thereby reducing greenhouse gas emissions. The results advocate biochar’s use in sustainable soil management practices.</p><h3 data-test=\"abstract-sub-heading\">Graphical Abstract</h3>","PeriodicalId":17042,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Soil Science and Plant Nutrition","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2024-07-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141586259","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, few studies have investigated the impact of Si application on the growth and fruit quality of cherry tomatoes, leading uncertainty regarding whether Si application can improve cherry tomato yields and quality under N imbalance. In this study, we performed a pot experiment with cherry tomato plants, and used two N fertilizer inputs (high N level, 0.40 g N kg<sup>− 1</sup> soil; low N level, 0.20 g N kg<sup>− 1</sup> soil) with or without Si application, to investigate the influence of Si application on plant growth, photosynthesis, leaf N metabolic enzyme activities, and fruit quality in cherry tomatoes under N imbalance. This study aimed to assess the promotive effects of Si application on the growth and fruit quality of cherry tomatoes under nitrogen (N) imbalance. The results showed that Si application enhanced dry matter accumulation and photosynthesis, regardless of the N conditions. Compared with treatment without Si application, the total dry matter accumulation, net photosynthetic rate, stomatal conductance, and transpiration rate were enhanced by 2.59%, 3.76%, 23.9%, and 17.1% under low N conditions, and by 7.50%, 26.2%, 49.1%, and 26.3% under high N conditions, respectively. Furthermore, Si regulated the activities of leaf N metabolic enzymes, increasing the N content of the plant under low N conditions and decreasing it under high N conditions. Si application improved fruit quality, as the vitamin C content and firmness were increased by 13.2% and 3.57% under low N conditions and by 7.09% and 17.4% under high N conditions, respectively.
