109. There is an urgent need to evaluate the fate of soil carbon and carbon sequestration potential of slag fertilizer in field conditions. Nat. Suvendu Das, Hyo Suk Gwon, Muhammad Israr Khan, Seung Tak Jeong, Pil Joo Kim, Steel slag amendment impacts on soil microbial communities and activities of rice (Oryza sativa L.), Scientific Reports, 10.1038/s41598-020-63783-1, 10, 1, (2020). The science of crop and soil management and agricultural practice needs to be given particular emphasis as part of a food security grand challenge (Baulcombe et al., 2009). This one has done well, scoring, We're also able to compare this research output to 81 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. The growth performance and trace metal accumulation of pak choi (Brassica chinensis L.) were investigated to evaluate the ameliorative effect of humic acid on molybdenum (Mo) slag-spiked calcareous soil. Characteristics and environmental aspects of slag: a review. Microbiol. 57, 236–266. (2012). A combination of slag fertilizer and microbial remediation strategies could be proposed for effective remediation of soil contaminants. College Resources & Environment, Southwest University, Chongqing, 400716 PR China. (2018a) showed that the application of slag fertilizer (8 Mg ha−1) with biochar (8 Mg ha−1) reduced CH4 emission up to 38.6% in early rice in China; however, Lee et al. Nat. Environ. 28 . 8:1615. doi: 10.3389/fmicb.2017.01615, Branca, T. A., and Colla, V. (2012).

Waste Manag. In recent years, several studies have revealed that the slag-based fertilizer amendment in agriculture has great promise to improve crop productivity (White et al., 2017; Gwon et al., 2018), alleviate soil acidification (Ning et al., 2016), mitigate greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions (Wang et al., 2015; Gwon et al., 2018), and stabilize heavy metals in contaminated soils (Ning et al., 2016), which turns it into a high value added product for sustainable agriculture. Environmental risk assessment of steel-making slags and the potential use of LD slag in mitigating methane emissions and the grain arsenic level in rice (Oryza sativa L.). PLoS One 11, 1–15. The effects of slag fertilizer amendment on the biogeochemical cycling of soil elements that are regulated by soil microbes need to be investigated. The increase of slag recovery and use in different fields of application, such as agriculture, is an imperative way for sustainable development (Ito, 2015). Some studies suggest slag fertilizer decreases N2O emissions (Susilawati et al., 2015; Wang et al., 2015), while other studies suggest slag fertilizer increases N2O emissions (Huang et al., 2009; Liu et al., 2012). (2018) reported that the addition of steel slag and biochar in subtropical paddy fields could decrease active SOC pools and enhance soil C sequestration only in the early crop, but not the late crop. Front. Microb. Complete residue removal for fodder and fuel is a norm in south Asia and Africa. In Figure 1, we show the proposed mechanism of slag-microbe interactions in soil. The effective utilization of slag fertilizer in agriculture to neutralize soil acidity, improve crop productivity, mitigate greenhouse gas emissions, and stabilize heavy metals in contaminated soils turns it into a high value added product in sustainable agriculture.
