Although the conventional approach to monitor heavy metals relies on field sampling and lab analysis, the proliferation in the use of portable spectrometers has reduced the cost and time of investigation. However, discrepancies in spectral data from different spectrometers increase the modeling time and undermine the model accuracy for spatial mapping. This study, therefore, took advantage of the readily accessible Landsat 7 data to predict and map the spatiotemporal distribution of ten heavy metals (i.e., Sb, Pb, Ni, Mn, Hg, Cu, Cr, Co, Cd and As) over a 640 km2 area in Belgium. The Land Use/Cover Area Frame Survey (LUCAS) database of a region in north-eastern Belgium was used to retrieve variation in heavy metals concentrations over time and space, using the Landsat 7 imagery for four single dates in 2009, 2013, 2016 and 2020. Three regression methods, namely, partial least squares regression (PLSR), random forest (RF) and support vector machine (SVM) were used to model and predict the heavy metal concentrations for 2009. By comparing these models unbiasedly, the best model was selected for predicting and mapping the heavy metal distributions for 2013, 2016 and 2020. RF turned out to be the optimal model for 2009 with a coefficient of determination of prediction (R2P) and residual prediction deviation of prediction (RPDP) ranging from 0.62 to 0.92, and 1.23 to 2.79, respectively. The measured heavy metal distributions along the river floodplains, at the highlands and in the lowlands, were generally high, compared to their RF spatiotemporal predictions, which decreased over time. Increasing moisture contents in the floodplains adjacent to the river channels and the lowlands were the primary contributors to the reduction in the satellite reflectance spectra. However, topsoil erosion from rainfall, snowmelt as well as wind into the lowlands could have influenced the reduction in heavy metal spatiotemporal predicted values over time in the highlands. The spatiotemporal prediction maps produced for the heavy metals for the four different years revealed a good spatial similarity and consistency with the measured maps for 2009, which indicates their stability over the years.</p></article>", "keywords": ["PROVINCE", "Landsat 7", "analysis", "Science", "random forest (RF)", "MOISTURE", "01 natural sciences", "NIR SPECTROSCOPY", "spatiotemporal analysis", "AGRICULTURAL SOILS", "spatiotemporal", "0105 earth and related environmental sciences", "2.

The soil microbial community should be a sensitive indicator of metal contamination effects on bioavailability and biogeochemical processes. Simple methods are needed to determine the degree of in situ pollution and effectiveness of remediating metal\uffe2\uff80\uff90contaminated soils. Currently, phospholipid\uffe2\uff80\uff90linked fatty acids (PLFAs) are preferred for microbial profiling but this method is time consuming, whereas direct soil extraction and transesterification of total ester\uffe2\uff80\uff90linked fatty acids (ELFAs) is attractive because of its simplicity. The 1998 mining acid\uffe2\uff80\uff93metal spill of &gt;4000 ha in the Guadiamar watershed (southwestern Spain) provided a unique opportunity to study these two microbial lipid profiling methods. Replicated treatments were set up as nonpolluted, heavy metal polluted and reclaimed, and polluted soils. Inferences from whole community\uffe2\uff80\uff93diversity analysis and correlations of individual fatty acids with metals suggested Cu, Cd, and Zn were the most important in affecting microbial community structure, along with pH. The microbial stress marker, monounsaturated fatty acids, was significantly lower for reclaimed and polluted soil over nonpolluted soils for both PLFA and ELFA extraction. Another stress marker, the monounsaturated to saturated fatty acids ratio, only showed this for the PLFA. The general fungal marker (18:2\uffcf\uff896c), the arbuscule mycorrhizae marker (16:1\uffcf\uff895c), and iso\uffe2\uff80\uff90 and anteiso\uffe2\uff80\uff90branched PLFAs (Gram positive bacteria) were suppressed with increasing pollution whereas 17:0cy (Gram negative bacteria) increased with metal pollution. For both extraction methods, richness and diversity were greater in nonpolluted soils and lowest in polluted soils. The ELFA method was sensitive for reflecting metal pollution on microbial communities and could be suitable for routine use in ecological monitoring and risk assessment programs because of its simplicity and reproducibility.</p>", "keywords": ["2.

One of the parameters that have a significant impact on sorption properties is pyrolysis temperature. This paper presents a study on the effect of pyrolysis temperature (425, 575, 725 \uffc2\uffb0C) on the sorption properties of poultry-manure-derived biochar (BPM). The produced biochars, i.e., BPM425, BPM575 and BPM725, demonstrated specific properties at 425, 525 and 752 \uffc2\uffb0C such as high pH (10.40, 10.65 and 12.45), high ash contents (52.07, 61.74 and 78.38%) and relatively low BET (Brunauer, Emmett and Teller) surface area (11, 17 and 19 m2\uffc2\uffb7g\uffe2\uff88\uff921). The analysis of the mineral phases of the BPMs confirmed the buffering capacity. The investigated biochars were tested for sorption of Zn, Cd and Pb in mono-, double- and triple-metal batch sorption tests. According to the obtained results, biochar produced at a temperature of 575 \uffc2\uffb0C (BPM575) can function as a sufficient sorbent for the removal of Zn, Cd and Pb from a water solution. The presented results do not confirm the effect of competing metal ions on the sorption efficiency of the selected metals by the investigated biochars. Based on that, the studied biochar sorbents can be used in environments contaminated with many metals.</p>", "keywords": ["ADSORPTION", "sorption", "pyrolysis temperature", "poultry manure", "0211 other engineering and technologies", "02 engineering and technology", "PERFORMANCE", "FEEDSTOCK SOURCES", "01 natural sciences", "AQUEOUS-SOLUTION", "Article", "MECHANISMS", "CARBON", "Chemistry", "poultry manure; biochar; pyrolysis temperature; sorption; heavy metals; soil contamination", "REMOVAL", "Earth and Environmental Sciences", "CD(II)", "STRAW", "biochar", "heavy metals", "FRACTIONS", "soil contamination", "0105 earth and related environmental sciences"]}, "links": [{"href": "http://www.mdpi.com/1996-1944/14/21/6566/pdf"}, {"href": "https://www.mdpi.com/1996-1944/14/21/6566/pdf"}, {"href": "https://doi.org/10.3390/ma14216566"}, {"rel": "related", "href": "https://repository.soilwise-he.eu/cat/collections/metadata:main/items/Materials", "name": "related record", "description": "related record", "type": "application/json"}, {"rel": "self", "type": "application/geo+json", "title": "10.3390/ma14216566", "name": "item", "description": "10.3390/ma14216566", "href": "https://repository.soilwise-he.eu/cat/collections/metadata:main/items/10.3390/ma14216566"}, {"rel": "collection", "type": "application/json", "title": "Collection", "name": "collection", "description": "Collection", "href": "https://repository.soilwise-he.eu/cat/collections/metadata:main"}], "time": {"date": "2021-11-01T00:00:00Z"}}, {"id": "10400.14/44005", "type": "Feature", "geometry": null, "properties": {"updated": "2026-07-27T16:26:00Z", "type": "Journal Article", "created": "2024-01-16", "title": "Structural and Functional Shifts in the Microbial Community of a Heavy Metal-Contaminated Soil Exposed to Short-Term Changes in Air Temperature, Soil Moisture and UV Radiation", "description": "<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?><article><p>The interplay between metal contamination and climate change may exacerbate the negative impact on the soil microbiome and, consequently, on soil health and ecosystem services.

Each of the climate scenarios simulated significantly altered at least one of the microbial parameters measured.

Some recent studies related to LCA also support that phytoremediation is technically more sustainable than competing technologies. However, one major post-application challenge associated with HMs phytoremediation is properly managing HMs contaminated biomass generated. Such a yield presents the problem of reintroducing HMs into the environment due to natural decomposition and release of plant sap from the harvested biomass. The transportation of high yields can also make phytoremediation economically inviable. This review presents the design of a sustainable phytoremediation strategy using an ever-evolving life cycle assessment tool.

This work aims to provide a holistic view on microbiome assembly and functional diversity in the model site SIN Brescia-Caffaro (Italy), characterized by historical and uneven contamination by organic and inorganic compounds. Here, physical and chemical analyses and microbiota characterization were applied on one-hundred-twenty-seven soil samples to unravel the environmental factors driving bacterial community assembly and biodegradation potential in three former agricultural fields. Chemical analyses showed a patchy distribution of metals, metalloids and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB) and allowed soil categorization according to depth and area of collections. Likewise, the bacterial community structure, described by molecular fingerprinting and 16S rRNA gene analyses, was significantly different according to collection site and depth. Pollutant concentrations (i.e., hexachloro-biphenyls, arsenic and mercury), nitrogen content and parameters related to soil texture were identified as main drivers of microbiota assembly, being significantly correlated to bacterial community composition. Moreover, bacteria putatively involved in the aerobic degradation of PCBs were enriched over the total bacterial community in topsoils, where the highest activity was recorded using fluorescein hydrolysis as proxy. Metataxonomic analyses revealed the presence of bacteria having metabolic pathways related to PCB degradation and tolerance to heavy metals and metalloids in the topsoil samples collected in all areas. Overall, the provided dissection of soil microbiota structure and its degradation potential in the SIN Brescia-Caffaro can contribute to target specific areas for rhizoremediation implementation. Metagenomics studies could be implemented in the future to understand if specific degradative pathways are present in historically polluted sites characterized by the co-occurrence of multiple classes of contaminants.", "keywords": ["0301 basic medicine", "2.

Although the conventional approach to monitor heavy metals relies on field sampling and lab analysis, the proliferation in the use of portable spectrometers has reduced the cost and time of investigation. However, discrepancies in spectral data from different spectrometers increase the modeling time and undermine the model accuracy for spatial mapping. This study, therefore, took advantage of the readily accessible Landsat 7 data to predict and map the spatiotemporal distribution of ten heavy metals (i.e., Sb, Pb, Ni, Mn, Hg, Cu, Cr, Co, Cd and As) over a 640 km2 area in Belgium. The Land Use/Cover Area Frame Survey (LUCAS) database of a region in north-eastern Belgium was used to retrieve variation in heavy metals concentrations over time and space, using the Landsat 7 imagery for four single dates in 2009, 2013, 2016 and 2020. Three regression methods, namely, partial least squares regression (PLSR), random forest (RF) and support vector machine (SVM) were used to model and predict the heavy metal concentrations for 2009. By comparing these models unbiasedly, the best model was selected for predicting and mapping the heavy metal distributions for 2013, 2016 and 2020. RF turned out to be the optimal model for 2009 with a coefficient of determination of prediction (R2P) and residual prediction deviation of prediction (RPDP) ranging from 0.62 to 0.92, and 1.23 to 2.79, respectively. The measured heavy metal distributions along the river floodplains, at the highlands and in the lowlands, were generally high, compared to their RF spatiotemporal predictions, which decreased over time. Increasing moisture contents in the floodplains adjacent to the river channels and the lowlands were the primary contributors to the reduction in the satellite reflectance spectra. However, topsoil erosion from rainfall, snowmelt as well as wind into the lowlands could have influenced the reduction in heavy metal spatiotemporal predicted values over time in the highlands. The spatiotemporal prediction maps produced for the heavy metals for the four different years revealed a good spatial similarity and consistency with the measured maps for 2009, which indicates their stability over the years.</p></article>", "keywords": ["Technology", "PROVINCE", "Landsat 7", "analysis", "Science", "Environmental Sciences & Ecology", "random forest (RF)", "MOISTURE", "01 natural sciences", "NIR SPECTROSCOPY", "0203 Classical Physics", "Remote Sensing", "0909 Geomatic Engineering", "spatiotemporal analysis", "AGRICULTURAL SOILS", "Geosciences", " Multidisciplinary", "Imaging Science & Photographic Technology", "spatiotemporal", "0105 earth and related environmental sciences", "2.

Several physiological, morpho-anatomical, and biochemical parameters were determined. The seed germination of L. cuneifolia, B. retama, and P. tetracantha was fully inhibited in 100\u202f% contaminated soil. Toxicological endpoints as NOEC, LOEC and IC50 ranged from 10\u202f% to 25\u202f% of soil contaminated with mining waste. Radicle elongation was the most sensitive variable to high metal(loid) concentrations, except for L. cuneifolia that hypocotyl elongation was the most affected parameter. P. flexuosa was selected to evaluate biochemical biomarkers and morpho-anatomical parameters. It showed an increase in radicle diameter and central radicle cylinder. A concentration-dependent increase in the O2\u00b7- production was observed in radicle and cotyledon. A peak of the enzymatic activity of guaiacol peroxidase, ascorbate peroxidase and catalase enzymes in P. flexuosa seedlings showed a negative relationship between metal(loid) concentration and exposure time. After a drop in the enzymatic activity, an increase in the malondialdehyde content (lipid peroxidation) was observed. The tested native species could be useful for phytoremediation of soils with a very high degree of metal contamination. A further investigation should focus on strategies to improve soil physicochemical characteristics for plant survival at highest contamination levels.", "keywords": ["Metal", "Soil pollution", "Germination", "Catalase", "Adaptation", " Physiological", "Environmental pollution", "Mining", "Phytoremediation", "Environmental sciences", "Soil", "Prosopis", "Ascorbate Peroxidases", "TD172-193.5", "Oxidative stress", "Seedlings", "Phytotoxicity", "Metals", " Heavy", "Seeds", "Arid environment", "Soil Pollutants", "GE1-350", "Peroxidase"]}, "links": [{"href": "https://doi.org/39847881"}, {"rel": "related", "href": "https://repository.soilwise-he.eu/cat/collections/metadata:main/items/Ecotoxicology%20and%20Environmental%20Safety", "name": "related record", "description": "related record", "type": "application/json"}, {"rel": "self", "type": "application/geo+json", "title": "39847881", "name": "item", "description": "39847881", "href": "https://repository.soilwise-he.eu/cat/collections/metadata:main/items/39847881"}, {"rel": "collection", "type": "application/json", "title": "Collection", "name": "collection", "description": "Collection", "href": "https://repository.soilwise-he.eu/cat/collections/metadata:main"}], "time": {"date": "2024-01-01T00:00:00Z"}}], "links": [{"rel": "self", "type": "application/geo+json", "title": "This document as GeoJSON", "href": "https://repository.soilwise-he.eu/cat/collections/metadata:main/items?keywords=+Heavy&offset=50&f=json", "hreflang": "en-US"}, {"rel": "alternate", "type": "text/html", "title": "This document as HTML", "href": "https://repository.soilwise-he.eu/cat/collections/metadata:main/items?keywords=+Heavy&offset=50&f=html", "hreflang": "en-US"}, {"rel": "collection", "type": "application/json", "title": "Collection URL", "href": "https://repository.soilwise-he.eu/cat/collections/metadata:main", "hreflang": "en-US"}, {"type": "application/geo+json", "rel": "prev", "title": "items (prev)", "href": "https://repository.soilwise-he.eu/cat/collections/metadata:main/items?keywords=+Heavy&offset=0", "hreflang": "en-US"}, {"rel": "last", "type": "application/geo+json", "title": "items (last)", "href": "https://repository.soilwise-he.eu/cat/collections/metadata:main/items?keywords=+Heavy&offset=67", "hreflang": "en-US"}], "numberMatched": 67, "numberReturned": 17, "distributedFeatures": [], "timeStamp": "2026-07-28T15:22:17.248254Z"}
