Harnessing biochar innovations to combat heavy metal contamination and sustain crop resilience amid climate challenges.

Asian and European regions are characterized by huge inequalities, with the levels of cadmium, lead, and zinc tending to rise above safe concentrations by 1.26-6.01 times, disrupting nutrient cycling and microbial communities due to more than 37% of arable land at risk of high levels of metal mobilization. This literat...

Green-Synthesized ZnO Nanoparticles: Mechanisms, Properties, and Antimicrobial Performance

The findings demonstrate that C. limetta peel can serve as a sustainable biological source for the green synthesis of ZnO nanoparticles with antibacterial properties and offer a simple and environmentally friendly route for producing ZnO nanoparticles with potential applications in antibacterial materials and related b...

Mechanistic role of biochar as a geobiochemical amendment: Mitigating abiotic stress and enhancing soil–plant interactions

Abiotic stressors, including drought, salinity, and heavy metal contamination, pose escalating threats to global food security, challenges further exacerbated by climate change and progressive soil degradation. As a strategic geochemical amendment, biochar is increasingly proposed to enhance soil resilience and agr...
