The present study explored the effects of HA on As accumulation and related physiological changes (antioxidant enzyme activities, absorption of nutrients and metabolic mechanisms) and provided insights into the regulation of As contamination by HA, which is relatively inexpensive.The research and development (R&D) of new drugs indicates scientific…[Read more]

Anthropogenic disturbance and distinctive geochemistry have resulted in rocky desertification in many karst regions of the world. Seed banks are crucial to vegetation regeneration in degraded karst ecosystems characterized by a discontinuous distribution of soil and seasonal drought stress. However, the dynamics of seed banks across one complete…[Read more]
