Abiotic stress factors in soils, such as heavy metal contamination, nutrient imbalances, salinity, and drought, severely impact plant growth, yield, the sustainability of agricultural environmental systems. This review presents a comprehensive analysis existing literature using data-driven bibliometric 3994 studies, examining how plants respond to these stressors effectiveness various mitigation strategies. Key findings show that activate antioxidant defenses (e.g. catalase, peroxidase) mitigate oxidative utilise hormones root adaptations endure drought salinity. Heavy disrupts essential metabolic processes, while imbalances are exacerbated by salinity water scarcity. Mitigation strategies range from stress-resistant crop breeding, use halophytes for remediation, application beneficial rhizosphere microorganisms, engineered nanoparticles (ZnO, TiO2, FeO, etc.), carbon-based materials like biochar compost. These have broad ecological implications, restore ecosystem functions, improve biodiversity, enhance resilience against climate-related challenges. underscores need integrated approaches combining biological, genetic, technological innovations strengthen abiotic stresses supporting balance sustainability. Future research should focus on scalable, cost-effective solutions tolerance, restoration, productivity diverse conditions.

The forest ecosystems are essential for human well-being development and reduction of the risk natural disasters. Maintaining growth ecosystem services is dependent on soil sustainability. content heavy metals main parameter determining degree contamination degradation. objective study was to assess extent identify sources potential anomalies. cadmium, lead, manganese chromium (using atomic emission spectroscopy with induction-coupled plasma), as well granulometric composition, pH value nitrogen total carbon content, were conducted samples taken from surface layer (0–10 cm) in protected area Kampinos National Park Poland. quality assessment by calculating indicators including geo-accumulation index, factor, contamination, ecological individual index. results exhibited that tested soils very acidic or sands. determined elements did not exceed permissible limits outlined Polish standards, which 2 mg/kg, 100 mg/kg 150 lead chromium, respectively. show differences studied area, predominantly uncontaminated metals. However, geochemical index values equal 0.42, 0.71 0.98 certain suggesting anthropogenic impact Park. pollution appears have been generated metallurgical industry, heating power plants Warsaw agglomeration transport.
