“…(Bakshi et al, 2018;Baranowska et al, 2005;Khan et al, 2008) worry since they cause substantial ecological and human health issues. As observed in Table 2, anthropogenic origins of HMs pollution include agricultural activities, like herbicides and pesticides polluting irrigation water, and using municipal waste for fertilization aims (Alloway and Jackson, 1991;Bakshi et al, 2018). Also, the anthropogenic source involves mining activities, waste disposal in farmland, sewage discharge, smoking, building materials such as paints, and traffic emissions (G et al, 2004;Su, 2014).…”

“…Plant roots, stems, fruits, grains, and leaves bio-accumulate the absorbed metals (Ugurlu, 2004). HMs such as Cd, Hg, As, and Pb are harmful to plants, animals, and people; when HMs such as Fe, Hg, As, Cd, Mn, Pb, Co, Cu, Ni, and Zn are leached out of dumpsites, they terminated in the soil as the sink (Alloway and Jackson, 1991).…”

Heavy metals (HMs) are harmful and lethal at negligible levels and non-biodegradable in the typical ecosystem and constitutes animal, human and environmental hazards. They are divided into toxic metals like Lead, Cadmium, Arsenic, etc. and essential elements like copper, zinc, manganese, iron, nickel and chromium. Additionally, could be categorized into two groups based on the natural and anthropogenic sources releasing origins. Population and industrial expansion led to food contamination with HMs. Poisonous metals can be transferred from irrigation water to agricultural soils, agricultural operations, air pollution, animal feed, and packaging materials. Toxic metals are non-biodegradable, non-thermos degradable, and exceedingly stable in the ecosystem; as a result, they quickly build in various foods. Metal pollution of many foods, including agricultural commodities, and animal protein sources such as fish, milk, meat, and eggs, poses a hazard to food safety and security. Toxic metal pollution of irrigation water, agricultural soils, plants, and animals result in their integration into the food chain, posing a health hazard to humans. Most metals are harmful to animals and humans and accumulate in several organs like the skeleton, hepatic tissue, spleen, and renal tissues. Metals have a deleterious impact on the production of plants and animals. As a result, several remediation strategies have become necessary to limit the hazardous HMs pathway into the food chain and the human body. Metal nanoparticles are employed in beneficial applications, although they are associated with specific hazards.

“…However, the majority of the country's manganese mines are open-pit mines of a low quality, making both mining and processing difficult. This, in turn, has resulted in the production of large amounts of tailings, electrolytic manganese residue and mine waste [1][2][3][4]. The presence of these issues has led to severe vegetation damage in manganese mining areas, exacerbating water and soil erosion and causing further ecological imbalances.…”

The addition of soil amendments and plants in heavy metal-contaminated soil can result in a significant impact on physicochemical properties, microbial communities and heavy metal distribution, but the specific mechanisms remain to be explored. In this study, Koelreuteria paniculata was used as a test plant, spent mushroom compost (SMC) and attapulgite (ATP) were used as amendments, and manganese slag was used as a substrate. CK (100% slag), M0 (90% slag + 5% SMC + 5% ATP) and M1 (90% slag + 5% SMC + 5% ATP, planting K. paniculata) groups were assessed in a pilot-scale experiment to explore their different impacts on phytoremediation. The results indicated that adding the amendments significantly improved the pH of the manganese slag, enhancing and maintaining its fertility and water retention. Adding the amendments and planting K. paniculata (M1) significantly reduced the bioavailability and migration of heavy metals (HMs). The loss of Mn, Pb and Zn via runoff decreased by 15.7%, 8.4% and 10.2%, respectively, compared to CK. K. paniculata recruited and enriched beneficial fungi, inhibited pathogenic fungi, and a more stable fungal community was built. This significantly improved the soil quality, promoted plant growth and mitigated heavy metal toxicity. In conclusion, this study demonstrated that the addition of SMC-ATP and planting K. paniculata showed a good phytostabilization effect in the manganese slag and further revealed the response process of the fungal community in phytoremediation.
