Sulfur-oxidizing microorganisms regulate S biogeochemistry in soil ecosystems, affecting ecosystem productivity and food quality. Elemental sulfur (S0 ) supplies SO42- for plants after being oxidized by S-oxidizing microorganisms, and the oxidative process is affected by soil pH, organic C,...

Flax (Linum usitatissimum L.) is wildly cultivated in temperate climates due to its economic value of fibers and nutritional value of seed. Here, the accumulation characteristics of flax on Cd and As and environmental risks of flax grown in wastewater-irrigated agricultural soil were studied....
