Summary: This study investigated the migration and transformation of heavy metals (HMs) in paddy soils from Anhui Province, China. The results showed that the distribution of HMs in soil was influenced by the particle size, with higher concentrations found in cultivated paddy soils compared to uncultivated soils. The accumulation of HMs increased with decreasing particle size, with the smallest fractions providing the highest distribution factor. The leachability behaviors of different HMs varied in different particle size aggregates, with Cr and Pb exhibiting the highest leachability in coarse fractions, while As and Cd showed significantly higher leachability in smaller fractions.

Summary: This study investigated the composition of soil particles and the stocks of SOC and N in different particle-size fractions in desert soils. The results showed that the very fine sand was the major component of the soil. The C and N stocks decreased with increasing aridity, and the organic C content in different size fractions decreased linearly. The study suggests that organic C and N in desert soils can be better estimated using soil particles < 100 μm.

Summary: The study investigates the relationship between Al phytotoxicity and the electrochemical characteristics of wheat root surfaces by proposing a new chemical mechanism for wheat tolerance to Al toxicity. Through various experiments and analysis, different wheat cultivars were classified based on their Al tolerance levels. Results show that wheat roots with less negative charges are more tolerant to Al toxicity, and the pot experiment confirms that Al-tolerant wheat cultivars generally have greater relative dry weight and lower Al accumulation in their shoots. The findings offer insights into screening Al-tolerant wheat cultivars, explaining the tolerance mechanism, predicting Al uptake differences between cultivars, and ultimately addressing food security risks from Al in acid soils.

Summary: This study investigates the effects of temperature on the dynamic characteristics of a high-T-c superconductor and permanent magnet system. The resonant frequency of the system decreases with increasing field cooled gap or mass at different temperatures. Decreasing temperature enhances the stiffness of the interaction force between the superconductor and the permanent magnet. However, this effect is more significant at a smaller field cooled gap, indicating that the enhancement of stiffness and resonant frequency by lowering temperature also depends on the magnetic field gradient.

Summary: Investigation of the inherent relationship between soil physicochemical properties and pollutant's bioaccessibility (BAc) may produce erroneous or biased results due to the complexity of soil characteristics. However, single factor analysis such as soil pH and organic matter can facilitate the evaluation of this relationship. In this study, the relationship between soil properties and the BAc of molybdenum (Mo) was evaluated in different soil types after adjusting their pH and carbon content. The results showed that the BAc of Mo was significantly higher in the intestinal phase compared to the gastric phase, and was lower in variable-charge soils compared to constant-charge soils. Negative correlations were identified between the BAc and Mo adsorption, which decreased with soil pH. This study provides insights into the health risk assessment and remediation of Mo-polluted soil.

Summary: This study aimed to evaluate the impact of long-term nutrient management practices on P fractions and P adsorption-desorption behaviour of an acid soil with a soybean-wheat cropping system. The findings revealed that amorphous Fe and Al, which play a significant role in P fixation, increased due to cultivation. The NPK+Lime treatment offered the most balanced approach, improving both crop yield and P uptake while effectively managing P dynamics in the soil. On the contrary, long-term application of NPK+FYM in an acid soil may result in faster P saturation of adsorption sites and increase the chances of leaching and eutrophication. Tailored P fertilization strategies should be developed to better utilize the PFe and PAl fractions and supplementing applied P.
