Sodium propionate (SP), a short‐chain fatty acid, has been widely used as a feed additive to improve fish growth and health status. The current experiment was designed to investigate the effects of dietary SP on growth, enzymatic activities, haematology and immune status of Wallago attu . Fingerlings (initial weight = 8.80 ± 0.58 g) were fed with graded levels of SP comprising 0.0, 0.5, 1.0, 2.0, 4.0 and 8.0 g/kg levels for 60...

Anthropogenic climate change is driving a convergence of rapid soil aridification and secondary salinization that threatens to degrade over half of the world's arable land. As conventional glycophytic crops reach their physiological limits, global food security depends on decoding the evolutionary adaptations of extremophytes. This review synthesizes the functional traits and ecosystem‐level impacts of extremophytes, the nativ...

Phytoremediation of contaminated freshwater bodies with rare earth elements (REEs) is a promising nature-based solution, but it is rarely studied. Here, we studied how efficiently willow ( Salix schwerinii: SS ) and cultivar (Klara: KL) purify water and react to three combined doses of REEs. SS and KL were subjected to increasing combined doses of REEs, specifically lanthanum (La) and neodymium (Nd), for 8 weeks in floating tr...
