“…EDTA remediation has been shown to successfully remove toxic metals from the soil, and the remediated soil has been tested and confirmed to be well suited as a plant substrate for vegetable production (e.g., Gluhar et al, 2021b;Kaurin et al, 2021). Maintaining plant cover has been shown to be an important factor in soil health and is also part of the practice of sustainable and regenerative agriculture (Sherwood and Uphoff, 2000;Cappelli et al, 2022). When plants, including their roots, are removed from the soil, an important source of carbon is lost as plants are known to support the rhizosphere by transferring approximately 30% of photosynthetically sequestered carbon to their roots (Bago et al, 2000).…”

In this study, we investigated the importance of plant cover for secondary succession and soil fungal community development in remediated substrates after EDTA washing of metal-contaminated soils. The abundance of the total fungal community, determined by ITS fungal marker genes (Internal Transcribed Spacer region), and root colonisation by arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi were monitored in two types of soil material (calcareous and acidic) sown with perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.) and without plant cover (bulk soil). Four months after the start of the experiment, the abundance of ITS genes in the soil clearly showed that the presence of plants was the main factor affecting the total fungal community, which increased in the rhizosphere soil in most treatments, while it remained at a low level in the bulk soil (without plants). Interestingly, the addition of environmental inoculum, i.e., rhizosphere soil from a semi-natural meadow, did not have a positive effect on the abundance of the total fungal community. While fungal ITS genes were detected in soils at the end of the first growing season, arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) structures were scarce in Lolium roots in all treatments throughout the first season. However, in the second season, more than a year after the start of the experiment, AM fungal colonisation was detected in Lolium roots in virtually all treatments, with the frequency of colonised root length ranging from 30% to >75% in some treatments, the latter also in remediated soil. This study demonstrates the importance of plants and rhizosphere in the development and secondary succession of fungal communities in soil, which has important implications for the revitalisation of remediated soils and regenerative agriculture.

“…Bioenergy or biorefinery crops are mainly the plants that are compatible with sustainable agriculture such as Jerusalem artichoke (Helianthus tuberosus L.), alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.), fruits, vegetables, grains, and other food and fiber crops [32]. These several plants and their biodiversity can promote sustainable agriculture [33]. Especially in the context of plant nutrition and agricultural sustainability, to address the dilemma of chemical fertilizer overuse, it is necessary to create smart materials that can deliver nutrients to specific places while still contributing to a clean environment.…”

Plant Nutrition for Human Health: A Pictorial Review on Plant Bioactive Compounds for Sustainable Agriculture

et al. 2022

Is there any relationship between plant nutrition and human health? The overall response to this question is very positive, and a strong relationship between the nutrition of plants and humans has been reported in the literature. The nutritional status of edible plants consumed by humans can have a negative or positive impact on human health. This review was designed to assess the importance of plant bioactive compounds for human health under the umbrella of sustainable agriculture. With respect to the first research question, it was found that plant bioactives (e.g., alkaloids, carotenoids, flavonoids, phenolics, and terpenoids) have a crucial role in human health due to their therapeutic benefits, and their potentiality depends on several factors, including botanical, environmental, and clinical attributes. Plant bioactives could be produced using plant tissue culture tools (as a kind of agro-biotechnological method), especially in cases of underexploited or endangered plants. Bioactive production of plants depends on many factors, especially climate change (heat stress, drought, UV radiation, ozone, and elevated CO2), environmental pollution, and problematic soils (degraded, saline/alkaline, waterlogged, etc.). Under the previously mentioned stresses, in reviewing the literature, a positive or negative association was found depending on the kinds of stress or bioactives and their attributes. The observed correlation between plant bioactives and stress (or growth factors) might explain the importance of these bioactives for human health. Their accumulation in stressed plants can increase their tolerance to stress and their therapeutic roles. The results of this study are in keeping with previous observational studies, which confirmed that the human nutrition might start from edible plants and their bioactive contents, which are consumed by humans. This review is the first report that analyzes this previously observed relationship using pictorial presentation.

Solos agrícolas tendem a perder sua qualidade conforme o seu uso, manejo e dos cultivos, principalmente em relação a comunidade de microrganismos presente no solo. Para levantar informações sobre a alteração da biodiversidade microbiana do solo devido ao cultivo agrícola objetivou-se com esta revisão bibliográfica utilizar o banco de dados Scopus para verificar a literatura existente sobre o tema proposto e se há alteração conforme seu manejo. A busca foi realizada nos artigos contidos no banco de dados buscando no título, resumo e palavras chaves utilizando quatro termos indexados: biodiversity, microbial, soil e agricultural. Foram encontrados 891 artigos e estes foram utilizados para a análise bibliométrica, para a escrita deste artigo utilizou-se dois filtros: para os artigos de acesso aberto e dos anos de 2017 a 2022, selecionando então 216 artigos para serem estudados nesta revisão. Com o auxílio do programa estatístico R versão 4.2.0 foi realizada a análise bibliométrica com o pacote bibliometrix. Na análise bibliométrica foi possível identificar que os artigos relacionados ao tema começaram a ser publicados no ano de 1992 com poucas publicações, ultrapassando a marca de 25 artigos publicados por ano apenas em 2008, passando de 75 artigos publicados ao ano apenas em 2017 e desde então aumentou o interesse de publicação na área. Também foi possível observar que o país que mais publica com o tema é os Estados Unidos e a palavra mais citada nos títulos dos artigos é o microrganismo bactéria. Esta revisão revela que a mudança de um sistema nativo para cultivo agrícola, bem como a espécie cultivada, a biodiversidade microbiana do solo se altera.
