Ecological Impacts and Potential Hazards of Nickel on Soil Microbes, Plants, and Human Health
Open accessAbstract
Nickel (Ni) contamination poses a serious environmental concern, particularly in developing countries: where, anthropogenic activities significantly contributes to Ni accumulations in soils and waters. The contamination of agricultural soils with Ni, increases risks of its entry to terrestrial ecosystems and food production systems posing a threat to both food security and safety. We examined the existing published articles regarding the origin, source, accumulation, and transport of Ni in soil environments. Particularly, we reviewed the bioavailability and toxic effects of Ni to soil invertebrates and microbes, as well as its impact on soil-plant interactions including seed germination, nutrient uptake, photosynthesis, oxidative stress, antioxidant enzyme activity, and biomass production. Moreover, it underscores the potential health hazards associated with consuming crops cultivated in Ni-contaminated soils and elucidates the pathways through which Ni enters the food chain. The published literature suggests that chronic Ni exposure may have long-term implications for the food supply chain and the health of the public. Therefore, an aggressive effort is required for interdisciplinary collaboration for assessing and mitigating the ecological and health risks associated with Ni contamination. It also argues that these measures are necessary in light of the increasing level of Ni pollution in soil ecosystems and the potential impacts on public health and the environment.

The absence of Ni in the soil prevents the plant from completing its growth cycle; however, an excess of Ni can lead to several harmful effects on the plant's morphological, physiological, and biochemical aspects.
“The absence of Ni in the soil prevents the plant from completing its growth cycle; however, an excess of Ni can lead to several harmful effects on the plant’s morphological, physiological, and biochemical aspects [56].”

The Introduction describes Ni as an essential plant micronutrient and says deficiency impairs vegetative growth, but it does not say that an absence of Ni in soil prevents a plant from completing its growth cycle. The Introduction and §6.3 describe morphological, physiological, and biochemical harms from excess Ni, supporting the second half of the claim. (LLM, conf=0.87)

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
