Climate change and metals independently stress soil microbiomes, but their combined effects remain unresolved. Here we show that future climate affects soil cadmium through altered soil microbiome and nutrient cycles, with soil pH as critical factor. In soils with pH<7 and during summer temperatures, future climate increased porewater cadmium, shif...

This work aims the study of two types of activated carbons, produced with hydrothermal treatment (BAC-H samples) and pyrolysis (BAC-P samples) using from banana peels as source. The activation was done with H3PO4 (at three different temperatures 400, 500, 600 °C) in order to examine the effect of this time differentiation. The samples prepared a br...
