Soil is the product of terrestrial biogeochemical processes and an essential foundation for human survival. Microorganisms endow soil with life properties and drive the biogeochemical cycles within it. Microorganisms play a crucial role in improving soil structure, enhancing fertility, controlling pollution, and responding to global climate change....

Iron (Fe) is one of the most abundant elements on Earth, widely present in soils and sediments, and participates in global carbon, nitrogen, and oxygen cycles. The redox reactions of iron play a crucial role in biogeochemical cycles, particularly in the processes of iron oxidation and reduction. Iron minerals, especially mixed-valent iron minerals ...

Hydraulic fracturing is a technique used to extract natural gas from unconventional reservoirs, but it generates large volumes of flowback and produced water. These waters contain complex mixtures of organic and inorganic constituents, particularly the solids associated with these fluids, which are often rich in iron (Fe), toxic organics, heavy met...

Academic Background The widespread use and improper disposal of chlorinated solvents (such as perchloroethylene and trichloroethylene) have led to severe contamination of soil and groundwater worldwide. These pollutants not only threaten groundwater security but may also affect human health through the food chain. Although traditional microbial red...

Academic Background With the growing threat of organic compounds to environmental pollution, studying the toxic responses of different aquatic organisms to these compounds has become crucial. Such research not only helps assess the potential ecological impacts of pollutants on the overall aquatic ecosystem but also provides significant scientific f...
