The impact of vehicular pollution on soil health in the forest ecosystem of Sonamarg Kashmir Himalayas

Discover Environment, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 3(1)

Published: Jan. 17, 2025

This study was taken to evaluate the influence of vehicular pollution on accumulation heavy metals and its impact soil enzymatic activity along roadside Sonamarg forest ecosystem. Soil samples were obtained from three different sites viz., Sonamarg, Baltal, Thajwas, each comprises disturbed area (10 mts.) close undisturbed (150 away in two seasons (spring autumn). metal concentration significantly decreased with distance roadside. The decrease activities dehydrogenase urease organic carbon found as compared areas. zinc (Zn2+) be maximum, followed by nickel (Ni2+), lead (Pb2+), copper (Cu2+), cadmium (Cd2+) at all sampling sites. Significant positive correlations shown pH Pb (r = 0.782**), Zn 0.805**), Cu 0.773**), Cd 0.672**) negative −0.795**), −0.825**) −0.764**).

Development and Characterization of Biocompatible Chitosan-Aloe Vera Films Functionalized with Gluconolactone and Sorbitol for Advanced Wound Healing Applications

ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: unknown

Published: Feb. 25, 2025

Chitosan (CTS) has emerged as a promising biopolymer for wound healing due to its biocompatibility, biodegradability, and intrinsic bioactive properties. This study explores the development characterization of CTS-based films enhanced with natural agents, aloe vera (A), gluconolactone (GL), sorbitol (S), improve their mechanical, antimicrobial, regenerative performance potential use in advanced care. A series were fabricated varying concentrations A, GL, S, physicochemical, biological properties comprehensively evaluated. Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy atomic force microscopy (AFM) analysis revealed modifications film structure attributable these additives, influencing surface roughness, hydrophilicity, thermal stability. Biocidal assays confirmed antimicrobial activity, particularly containing GL A. Biodegradation studies demonstrated significant enhancement microbial decomposition films, while cytocompatibility tests minimal cytotoxic effects improved cellular response. research underscores combining CS S engineer multifunctional biomaterials tailored effectively tackling different phases process, offering sustainable biocompatible alternative clinical applications.

Intercropping grapevine with Solanum nigrum enhances their cadmium tolerance through changing rhizosphere soil microbial diversity

Frontiers in Microbiology, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 16

Published: March 7, 2025

Introduction Cadmium (Cd), a toxic heavy metal, has increasingly impacted vineyard soils and grapevine ( Vitis vinifera ) production in recent years. Intercropping with the hyperaccumulator plant Solanum nigrum emerged as promising strategy to improve soil health increase resilience Cd-contaminated soil. Methods This study investigated effects of intercropping S. (IntVVSN) on enzyme activity microbial community. Results Compared monocultures grapevine, IntVVSN increased activities sucrase, urease, cellulase, decreased amylase, neutral phosphatase. The community showed higher abundances beneficial groups such Acidobacteriota, Actinobacteriota, Chloroflexi. These were involved metal detoxification nutrient cycling, indicating their potential role enhancing Cd tolerance. Kyoto Encyclopedia Genes Genomes (KEGG) pathway enrichment analysis revealed distinct metabolic adaptations under soil, significant upregulation pathways related secondary metabolite synthesis, carbohydrate metabolism, glycan biosynthesis, nucleotide protein processing. changes composition, along enhanced cycling indicated by activities, suggest healthier more resilient environment. This, turn, contributes improved tolerance grapevines. Conclusion highlights phytoremediation intercropping, which promotes sustainable agricultural practices improving growth stress.
