  Optimal Application of Nitrogen (N) Fertilizer Provide the Maximum Cd Removal from Contaminated Soil by Increasing Aboveground Biomass of Solanum Nigrum L

  Cd (cadmium) is one part of natural components in the Earth crust. When artificial activities intensify, it then accumulates a lot and causes soil contamination, and ultimately be absorbed through the food chain and poses a health threat to animals and humans.

• Passive Uptake or Permeation: an Important Mechanism for Hg-methylating Organism to Take up Hg(II)

  Methylmercury (MeHg) can be bioaccumulated and biomagnified at high levels in food webs, particularly in fish and rice, and is thus a significant threat to human health and the environment.

  Fungal Community Diversity and Composition are Determined by the Trade-off between Nutrient Deposition and Retrieval along the Forest Chronosequence

  Fungal adaptation to nutrient cyclings of vegetations is observed along forest chronosequence. However, the mechanisms behind plant-fungus interactions in controlling carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) acquisition and allocation need to be uncovered.
