This process leads to substantial soil carbon depletion, which has negative environmental impacts. This study aims to examine which irrigation regime reduces soil carbon loss to optimize CO₂ emissions per unit yield for sustainable production. Soil CO₂ emissions were measured using an infrared gas analyzer in soils fertilized with mineral (F) and cattle manure (M) under three irrigation regimes in the research. Irrigations were conducted at different intervals based on the difference between estimated cumulative plant water consumption and precipitation (25, 50, and 75 mm, respectively) in the IR1, IR2, and IR3 regimes. The consistent emissions of CO₂ during the growing season were due to the ongoing depletion of organic carbon in the soil. Increasing soil moisture and decreasing soil temperature contributed to emission increases. The application of manure increased CO₂ emissions per unit area, water consumption, and yield by 2.7, 2.8, and 2.0 times, respectively, compared to mineral fertilization. This was attributed to the higher seasonal carbon emission, lower water consumption, and higher yield associated with manure application. The IR1 treatment, which enhanced the mineralization of organic matter, resulted in a 1.08 times increase in CO₂ emissions per unit area and a 1.16 times increase in emissions per unit water consumption compared to the IR3 treatment. On the contrary, it caused a 1.41 times decrease in emissions per unit yield with the yield contribution. Although CO₂ emissions per unit yield were 75.4% higher than in FIR1, the MIR1 treatment was the most successful in reducing emissions, showing a 1.57 times decrease compared to MIR3. In conclusion, frequent irrigation in soil fertilized with manure decreases CO₂ emissions per unit yield in silage maize. Higher yields with frequent irrigation management can lead to a greater reduction in CO₂ emissions per unit of yield.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":808,"journal":{"name":"Water, Air, & Soil Pollution","volume":"236 7","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2025-05-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s11270-025-08124-6.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143932341","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Strigolactone (SL), a relatively recent plant growth regulator, mediates plant growth under heavy metal stress. This study aimed to investigate whether exogenous SL could effectively alleviate Cd toxicity in <i>Gladiolus grandiflorus</i> by increasing morphological and physiological attributes and decreasing oxidative stress. A pot experiment was conducted to explore the alleviating potential of <i>Gladiolus grandiflorus</i> cv. Rose Supreme to Cd toxicity (0.5 mM) damage by foliar supplementation of SL (4 μM). Cadmium stress significantly reduced morphological traits, photosynthetic pigments, soluble proteins, and vase life of gladiolus plants. However, exogenous SL supplementation resulted in an enhanced number of leaves (27%), spike length (33%), spike diameter (23%), florets numbers (17%), root length (21%), contents of chlorophyll (101%), and carotenoids (25%) in Cd-polluted plants. Likewise, the increment in photosynthetic rate, transpiration rate, total soluble proteins, and the vase life of gladiolus plants increased by 22%, 39%, 71%, and 37%, respectively, under Cd toxicity compared with non-stressed plants. Similarly, contents of free proline, and the activities of antioxidant enzymes such as superoxide dismutase (SOD), peroxidase (POX), catalase (CAT), and ascorbate peroxidase (APX) were also regulated due to SL foliar spray in Cd-polluted sword lily plants. The application of SL also remarkably reduced glycinebetaine (18%), malondialdehyde (23%), and hydrogen peroxide (31%), triggered by Cd toxicity. Additionally, the Cd contents were also reduced in roots, leaves, and flowers by 28%, 34% and 46%, respectively, in SL supplied Cd-polluted plants. These results enhance our understanding of the potential of SL in mitigating Cd stress in gladiolus cut flower plants, providing valuable insights for plant resilience improvement. This study suggests that foliar supplementation of SL could be a potential eco-friendly and cost-effective approach for enhancing Cd resistance in ornamental geophytes like <i>Gladiolus grandiflorus</i>.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":808,"journal":{"name":"Water, Air, & Soil Pollution","volume":"236 7","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2025-05-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143932335","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The comet assay results demonstrated a significant increase in DNA damage (p &lt; 0.01) in the group exposed to 5.0 mg/L of black mask microparticles. Brain acetylcholinesterase activity was significantly increased (p &lt; 0.05) in groups exposed to 1.0 and 5.0 mg/L of white mask microparticles.

This study conducted monthly between May 2022 and April 2023, explored the taxonomic and functional responses of macroinvertebrates as bioindicators of the ecological condition of four streams in the north-western Zambian Copperbelt of the CACB. 252 sediment samples were collected and analysed for metals. 144 macroinvertebrate samples were collected to determine their taxonomic and functional traits. ANOVA (analysis-of-variance), SIMPER (similarity-percentage), ANOSIM (analysis-of-similarities), CCA (canonical correspondence analysis) and multidimensional biotic index analyses were conducted to correlate environmental and biotic variables.

Conversion of NO₂ into NO₃ required 0.5 mg/L of oxygen, and this caused an increase in the 25% running cost of the total oxygen supply in the reactor.

Microbial degradation of antibiotics for the removal of these compounds in both natural and synthetic environments depend on their optimal growth condition such as pH, temperature, trace elements, carbon and nitrogen sources. Biological approaches for the removal of pollutants have several advantages over physical and chemical processes, such as cost and eco-friendly benefits. However, the mechanisms and processes of antibiotic degradation in the environment are not well known. Microbes possess antibiotic degrading enzymes such as beta lactamase, esterase, nitroreductases, hydroquinone dioxygenase, ammonia monooxygenase, laccase, peroxidase and peroxygenase showing their evolutionary modification in response to the selective pressures of antibiotic exposure. Algae-based technologies provide advantages like CO₂ fixation, low ecological impact, harnessing solar energy and ability to produce biofuel and other valuable by-products while simultaneously degrading antibiotics. Rhizospheric bacteria play a crucial role in antibiotic degradation in response to environmental stress, which leads to improved adaptation and enhanced growth of plants. This review aims to summarize the various bioremediation strategies that can be employed for the degradation of antibiotics and the mechanisms involved in the degradation by bacteria, algae and fungi in the biodegradation of antibiotics.
