    Abstract Here we addressed the capacity of distinct amendments to reduce arsenic (As), copper (Cu), selenium (Se) and zinc (Zn) associated risks and improve the biogeochemical functions of post-mining soil. To this, we examined nanoparticles (NPs) and/or biochar effects, combined with phytostabilization using Lolium perenne L. Soil samples were taken in a former metal mine surroundings. Ryegrass seeds were sown in pots containing different combinations of NPs (zero-valent iron (nZVI) or hydroxyapatite (nH)) (0 and 2 %), and biochar (0, 3 and 5 %). Plants were grown for 45 days and the plant yield and element accumulation were evaluated, also soil properties (element distribution within the soil fractions, fertility, and enzymatic activities associated with microbiota functionality and nutrient cycling) were determined. Results showed biochar-treated soil had a higher pH, and much higher organic carbon (C) content than control soil and NP-treated soils, and it revealed increased labile C, total N, and available P concentrations. Soil treatment with NP-biochar combinations increased exchangeable non-acid cation concentrations and reduced exchangeable Na%, improved soil fertility, reduced sodicity risk, and increased ryegrass biomass. Enzymatic activities, particularly dehydrogenase and glucosidase, increased upon the addition of biochar, and this effect was fostered by NPs. Most treatments led to a significant reduction of metal(loid)s contents in biomass, mitigating contamination risks. The two different NPs had similar effects in many parameters, nH outperformed nZVI in terms of increased nutrients, C content, and enzymatic activities. On the basis of our results, combined biochar-NP amendments use, specially nH, emerges as a potential post-mining soil restoration strategy.

    Abstract PICT methodology using the leucine incorporation method (Leu-PICT) is useful for assessing heavy metal contamination in soils. First, bacterial community is exposed to metal in the soil (selection phase), developing tolerance if metal exerts toxicity. Secondly, in detection phase, bacterial suspensions are obtained, and tolerance is quantified by a second exposition of bacterial community to the metal using Leu-PICT methodology. However, during detection phase when Leu-PICT is performed, some characteristics of bacterial suspensions may change metal bioavailability. We assess the influence of dissolved organic matter (DOM) in bacterial suspensions, as humic acids (HA), on Leu-PICT determination to Cr, Cu, Ni, Pb and Zn. Results showed that the presence of HA in bacterial suspensions causes underestimations of bacterial community tolerance to Cr (increasing Cr toxicity), and overestimations of bacterial community tolerance to Cu, Ni, Pb, and Zn (reducing metal toxicity). In addition, the magnitude of these overestimations was different depending on the metal.

    Abstract Agricultural nanotechnology has become a powerful tool to help crops and improve agricultural production in the context of a growing world population. However, its application can have some problems with the development of harvests, especially during germination. This review evaluates nanoparticles with essential (Cu, Fe, Ni and Zn) and non-essential (Ag and Ti) elements on plant germination. In general, the effect of nanoparticles depends on several factors (dose, treatment time, application method, type of nanoparticle and plant). In addition, pH and ionic strength are relevant when applying nanoparticles to the soil. In the case of essential element nanoparticles, Fe nanoparticles show better results in improving nutrient uptake, improving germination, and the possibility of magnetic properties could favor their use in the removal of pollutants. In the case of Cu and Zn nanoparticles, they can be beneficial at low concentrations, while their excess presents toxicity and negatively affects germination. About nanoparticles of non-essential elements, both Ti and Ag nanoparticles can be helpful for nutrient uptake. However, their potential effects depend highly on the crop type, particle size and concentration. Overall, nanotechnology in agriculture is still in its early stages of development, and more research is needed to understand potential environmental and public health impacts.

    Abstract Pollution-Induced Community Tolerance (PICT) is a helpful and sensitive methodology to evaluate the effect of metal pollution in soils using microorganisms as indicators. PICT was used to determine the increase of bacterial community tolerance to Cu, Ni, Pb and Zn (Δlog IC₅₀), and to assess the influence of soil properties on the development of bacterial community tolerance to Cu, Ni, Pb, and Zn. Soil samples showed a wide range of properties, such as pH (3.96–7.47), texture (13.8–31.7% clay) or organic matter (9.7–30.7%). Bacterial growth measured by the [³H]-leucine incorporation method was used as the PICT endpoint. Bacterial communities generally developed tolerance in response to Cu, Ni and Zn additions to soils. However, bacterial communities showed no tolerance to Pb, probably due to high Pb sorption in studied soils. Soil properties influenced the development of bacterial community tolerance to Cu, Ni and Zn. Effective cation exchange and a soil sorption parameter (Freundlich's linearity index) were the selected variables to estimate Δlog IC₅₀ to Cu (R² = 0.65). Clay content and Ni-soluble are the main factors to estimate Δlog IC₅₀ to Ni (R² = 0.63). Organic matter content and a sorption parameter (maximum sorption capacity of the soil from Langmuir equation) are the soil properties to estimate Δlog IC₅₀ to Zn (R² = 0.45). Most of the variables exerted their effect in soil, i.e. PICT selection phase. However, clay content affected bacterial community tolerance determination (PICT detection phase), leading to overestimated measurements of bacterial community tolerance.

    Abstract In the current COVID-19 pandemic, SARS-CoV-2 has been quantified in wastewater in various countries, and wastewater based epidemiology has been proposed as a potential early warning tool for new outbreaks. However, even taking into account that poorly treated wastewater and sewage sludge may be spread on soils, there is no published paper dealing with the quantification of the virus in soil-related liquid samples, as could be runoff, leachates, or soil solution. To fill this gap, the authors of this piece propose reflections on the development of a methodological approach for the quantification of SARS-CoV-2 (and eventually other pathogens) in soil-related liquid samples.

    Abstract Heavy metals from anthropogenic sources accumulate slowly but steadily, leading to high metal concentration levels in soil. However, the effect of each heavy metal on soil bacterial communities is usually assessed in laboratories by a single application of individually spiked metals. We evaluated the differences between single individual application and repeated individual applications of Cr, Cu, Ni, Pb, and Zn on bacterial communities, through pollution-induced community tolerance (PICT), using bacterial growth as the endpoint (
