Summary

Researchers analysed phyllosphere bacterial communities and metabolomic profiles in the bryophyte Tortella tortuosa under cadmium (Cd) stress, finding that despite significant physiological and metabolic effects, the moss maintained strong Cd absorption capacity. The study demonstrated T. tortuosa's potential for phytoremediation of heavy metal-contaminated soils.

Although the severe Cd pollution could affect the physiological and metabolic characteristics of T. tortuosa, T. tortuosa had a strong absorption capacity for Cd. Therefore, it could be used for phytoremediation of heavy metal pollution. This study will provide a reference for the remediation of soil heavy metal pollution.

The Importance of Humic Acids in Shaping the Resistance of Soil Microorganisms and the Tolerance of Zea mays to Excess Cadmium in Soil

Researchers assessed whether a humic acid soil amendment (Humus Active) could protect maize from cadmium toxicity by modifying the soil bacterial community structure under heavy metal stress. Humic acid treatment improved soil bacterial diversity and reduced cadmium uptake by maize, suggesting that humic preparations can partially restore soil microbiome function and crop health in cadmium-contaminated agricultural land.
