Organic fertilizer plays a key rolein improving soil quality and stabilizing maize yields, but few studies have compared different substitution rates. Afield study was carried out in 2021 and 2022, based on a long-term trial initiated in 2016, which included five organicfertilizer N substitution rates with equal inputs of 200 kg N ha^(–1): 0% organic fertilizer(T1, 100% inorganic fertilizer),50.0% organic+50.0% inorganic fertilizer(T2), 37.5% organic+62.5% inorganic fertilizer(T3), 25.0% organic+75.0%inorganic fertilizer(T4), and 12.5% organic+87.5% inorganic fertilizer(T5), as well as a no fertilizer control(T6). Theresults of the two years showed that T3 and T1 had the highest grain yield and biomass, respectively, and there wasno significant difference between T1 and T3. Compared with T1, the 12.5, 25.0, 37.5, and 50.0% substitution rates in T5, T4, T3, and T2 significantly reduced total nitrogen losses(NH_(3), N_(2)O) by 8.3, 16.1, 18.7, and 27.0%, respectively.Nitrogen use efficiency(NUE) was higher in T5, T3, and T1, and there were no significant differences among them.Organic fertilizer substitution directly reduced NH_(3)volatilization and N_(2)O emission from farmland by lowering theammonium nitrogen and alkali-dissolved N contents and by increasing soil moisture. These substitution treatmentsreduced N_(2)O emissions indirectly by regulating the abundances of AOB and nirK-harboring genes by promotingsoil moisture. Specifically, the 37.5% organic fertilizer substitution reduces NH_(3)volatilization and N_(2)O emission from farmland by reducing the ammonium nitrogen and alkali-dissolved N contents and increasing moisture, which negatively regulate the abundance of AOB and nir K-harboring genes to reduce N_(2)O emissions indirectly in rainfed maize fields on the Loess Plateau of China.展开更多

文摘As the global leader in rice production,China's paddy fields contribute substantially to greenhouse gas emissions through methane(CH_(4))and nitrous oxide(N_(2)O)releases.Aromatic rice cultivation practices have been optimized to enhance the aroma,so the relationship between its cultivation and greenhouse gas emissions from paddy fields is unclear.To investigate how aroma-enhancing cultivation practices drive microbial community dynamics in aromatic rice paddies and their implications for greenhouse gas emissions,a two-year experiment in five ecological locations(Xingning,Nanxiong,Conghua,Luoding,and Zengcheng)compared two farming practices:partial organic substitution for inorganic fertilizers combined with water-saving irrigation(IOF+W)and traditional cultivation(CK).The CH_(4)and N_(2)O emissions,soil microbial composition and function,global warming potential(GWP),nitrogen use efficiency,yield,and the content of 2-acetyl-1-pyrroline(2-AP)were measured and analyzed.The main purpose was to investigate the impact of IOF+W on CH_(4)and N_(2)O emissions and their relationship with soil microorganisms.The results showed that IOF+W significantly reduced CH_(4)emission fluxes and totals(36.95%)and GWP(31.29%),while significantly increasing N_(2)O emission fluxes and totals(14.82%).The soil microbial community structure was reshaped by the IOF+W treatment,which suppressed methanogens but enhanced the abundances of nitrifying and denitrifying bacteria.Key enzymatic activities involved in CH_(4)production,such as methyl-coenzyme M reductase,formylmethanofuran dehydrogenase,and methyltransferase,decreased.In contrast,the activity of the key CH_(4)-oxidizing enzyme methanol dehydrogenase increased.This shift led to an overall attenuation of the CH_(4)production metabolism while enhancing the CH_(4)oxidation metabolism.In addition,the activities of pivotal enzymes involved in denitrification and nitrification were improved,thus enhancing nitrogen nitrification and denitrification metabolism.Moreover,the IOF+W treatment significantly increased nitrogen use efficiency(47.83%),yield(14.77%),and 2-AP content(13.78%).Therefore,the IOF+W treatment demonstrated good efficacy as a sustainable strategy for achieving productive,green,resource-efficient,and premium-quality aromatic rice cultivation in South China.
文摘The Savitzky-Golay(SG)filter,which employs polynomial least-squares approximations to smooth data and estimate derivatives,is widely used for processing noisy data.However,noise suppression by the SG filter is recognized to be limited at data boundaries and high frequencies,which can significantly reduce the signal-to-noise ratio(SNR).To solve this problem,a novel method synergistically integrating Principal Component Analysis(PCA)with SG filtering is proposed in this paper.This approach avoids the is-sue of excessive smoothing associated with larger window sizes.The proposed PCA-SG filtering algorithm was applied to a CO gas sensing system based on Cavity Ring-Down Spectroscopy(CRDS).The perform-ance of the PCA-SG filtering algorithm is demonstrated through comparison with Moving Average Filtering(MAF),Wavelet Transformation(WT),Kalman Filtering(KF),and the SG filter.The results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm exhibits superior noise reduction capabilities compared to the other algorithms evaluated.The SNR of the ring-down signal was improved from 11.8612 dB to 29.0913 dB,and the stand-ard deviation of the extracted ring-down time constant was reduced from 0.037μs to 0.018μs.These results confirm that the proposed PCA-SG filtering algorithm effectively improves the smoothness of the ring-down curve data,demonstrating its feasibility.

文摘Nitrogen gas pressure sintering was successfully employed to achieve the in-situ formation of Si_(3)N_(4)-bonded MgO-C refractories.The primary objective was to investigate the influence of different gas pressures on the mechanical properties and microstructure of MgO-C refractories.The results indicate that higher nitrogen pressure promotes the transformation of silicon nitride from theαphase to theβphase.This phase transition positively impacts the mechanical properties of Si_(3)N_(4)-bonded MgO-C refractories,leading to an enhancement in their overall strength.Notably,when the nitrogen pressure was set at 3 MPa,exceptional compressive strength of 109.7 MPa and an elastic modulus of 142.4 GPa were achieved by these prepared refractories.These findings highlight the great potential for utilizing gas pressure sintered Si_(3)N_(4)-MgO-C refractories.

文摘Gas wells often encounter blockages in gas recovery channels owing to fluid accumulation during the later stages of extraction,which adversely affects subsequent recovery efforts.These undesirable conditions(e.g.,high condensate content,high temperature,and high salinity)often affect foaming agent performance.In this study,surfactants were screened using an airflow method that closely resembles field treatment method.Notably,alcohol ether sulfates(AE_(n)S)with various polyoxyethylene(EO)units demonstrated exceptional performance in terms of liquid unloading efficiency and foam stability.At 80℃,the unloading efficiency of AE_(n)S with two EO units(AE_(2)S)in a high NaCl mass concentration(up to 200 g/L)and high condensate volume fraction(up to 20%)reached 84%.The dynamic surface tension and interfacial tension measured at the same temperature were used to analyze the influence of the diffusion rate and interfacial characteristics on the AE_(n)S foam,while the viscosity and liquid film thickness measurements reflected the mechanical strength and liquid-carrying capacity.In addition,transmission electron microscopy(TEM)revealed that AE_(2)S formed“dendritic”micellar aggregates at a high NaCl mass concentration,which significantly enhanced the viscosity and stability of the foam.The interactions among AE_(n)S,NaCl,and H2O were analyzed using molecular dynamics,and it was confirmed from a molecular mechanics perspective that a stable structure can form among the three,contributing to the foam stability.These findings demonstrate the significant potential of the AE_(2)S foam for gas well deliquification.

文摘Amid accelerating global land degradation,establishing high-efficiency ecological restoration principles and frameworks is crucial.Here,we explore the application of threshold effects in the ecological restoration process based on field experiments and globally available experimental data from 173 sites.Combining data integration analysis and meta-analysis,we collectively verified the universality of threshold effects in grasslands.The global grasslands’average nitrogen application threshold is 3.78 g·m^(-2)·yr^(−1),while the threshold value of degraded grassland(3.65 g·m^(-2)·yr^(−1))is lower than that of nondegraded grassland(5.90 g·m^(-2)·yr^(−1)).The low nitrogen-driven thresholds are affected by degradation status,climate(precipitation and temperature),and other site conditions,but not fertilization forms.Independent experiments further demonstrated that an increase in soil moisture content can lead to the disappearance of nitrogen threshold effects,revealing that ecological threshold effects are influenced by ecosystem stress factors.Following the significant increase in plant biomass triggered by the nitrogen threshold,the ecosystem undergoes systemic improvement.Soil organic carbon,urease activity,soil microbial diversity,and other soil properties are significantly enhanced.Soil nitrogen cycle-related microbial communities and soil physicochemical attributes are significantly activated.The results indicate that a threshold response pattern may develop before nitrogen saturation is reached,and low nitrogen input can boost productivity and improve the plant-soil-microbe system.Our findings reveal a nonprogressive path of restoration in degraded ecosystems,and thus,restoration based on threshold effects can offer an efficient and safe solution to combat ecological degradation.

文摘Ecological floating bed is an important biological remediation method for water pollution control.During the removal of excess nutrients and pollutants,changes in environmental factors affect the characteristics of microorganisms in aquatic ecosystems.To understand the influences of ecological floating beds on size-fractionated microorganisms,we investigated the community assembly and nitrogen metabolic characteristics of three size-fractionated microorganism groups in the ecological floating bed area,using 18S rDNA,16S rDNA metabarcoding,and metagenomic sequencing techniques.Firstly,we discovered substantial differences between size-fractionated groups in the diversity and compositions of both microeukaryotic and bacterial communities,as well as the influences of floating beds on specific groups.The floating beds appeared to provide more habitats for heterotrophs and symbiotes while potentially inhibiting the growth of certain phytoplankton(cyanobacteria).Secondly,we observed that microeukaryotic and bacterial communities were predominantly influenced by stochastic and deterministic processes,respectively,and they both exhibited distinct patterns across different size-fractionated groups.Notably,microeukaryotic community assembly demonstrated a greater sensitivity to ecological floating beds,as indicated by an increase in dispersal limitation processes.Finally,the nitrogen metabolism functional genes revealed that microbes associated with large-sized particles played a crucial role in dissimilatory nitrate reduction to ammonium(DNRA)and denitrification processes within the floating bed area,thereby facilitating the removal of excess nitrogen nutrients from the water.In contrast,freeliving microorganisms from small-sized groups were linked mainly to the genes involved in nitrogen assimilation and assimilatory nitrate reduction to ammonium(ANRA)processes.These findings help understand the impact of ecological floating beds on the diversity and functional characteristics of microorganism communities in different size-fractionated groups.

文摘Climate warming and atmospheric nitrogen(N)deposition have profound influences on the terrestrial biosphere.However,how these two global change drivers affect phytoplankton which are important primary producers in wetlands with large carbon stocks and complex hydrological fluctuations remain largely unclear.As part of a two-year field experiment in a freshwater wetland,this study was conducted to investigate the effects of nighttime warming and N addition on phytoplankton biomass in the North China Plain.The results showed that neither nighttime warming nor N addition influenced the Shannon-Wiener index of phytoplankton community.Nighttime warming did not change phytoplankton biomass,likely due to the different warming impacts on dominant phyla and in different seasons.Decreased phytoplankton biomass in spring because of the increased water pH and submerged plant coverage was compensated by the enhanced biomass in autumn due to the reduced dissolved oxygen and submerged plant coverage,leading to the neutral change of phytoplankton biomass under warming.Nitrogen addition elevated phytoplankton biomass by 11.6%,which could be attributed to the enhanced nutrient availability and reduced submerged plant coverage.Positive relationships of methane(CH4)emission rates at the water-air interface with phytoplankton biomass indicated the potentially crucial role of phytoplankton in mediating wetland CH4 cycling through photosynthesis-driven metabolisms.The findings suggested the seasonal variation of phytoplankton and their potential responses to nighttime warming and N deposition,which may provide a more accurate basis for assessing the global change-carbon feedback in wetland ecosystems.

文摘Lodging is a major constraint limiting oil flax production efficiency in northern China.Crop lodging susceptibility is closely related to stem lignin content,and the regulatory mechanisms by which nitrogen and potassium fertilization interactively influence lignin biosynthesis in oil flax stems require further investigation.Therefore,this study aimed to enhance lodging resistance and increase grain yield in oil flax.We examined the interactive effects of different nitrogen (75,150,and 225 kg N ha^(–1)) and potassium (60 and 90 kg K_(2)O ha^(–1)) fertilizer rates on lignin metabolism,lodging resistance,and grain yield during the 2022 and 2023 growing seasons.Results indicated that nitrogen and potassium fertilizer levels and their interactions promoted lignin accumulation,improved lodging resistance,and increased grain yield.Compared to the control (CK),the75–150 kg N ha^(–1) combined with 60 kg K_(2)O ha^(–1) treatments significantly enhanced the activities of key lignin-synthesizing enzymes (tyrosine ammonia-lyase (TAL),phenylalanine ammonia-lyase (PAL),cinnamyl alcohol dehydrogenase (CAD),and peroxidase (POD)) and upregulated the expression of 4CL1 and F5H3 genes,leading to a 29.63–43.30%increase in lignin content,improved stem bending strength and lodging resistance index,and a 23.27–32.34%increase in grain yield.Correlation analysis revealed that nitrogen and potassium fertilizers positively regulated enzyme activities and gene expression related to lignin biosynthesis,thereby facilitating lignin accumulation and enhancing stem mechanical strength and lodging resistance.Positive correlations were observed among lignin-related enzyme activities,gene expression,lodging resistance traits,and grain yield.In summary,the application of 75–150 kg N ha^(–1) in conjunction with 60 kg K_(2)O ha^(–1)promoted lignin biosynthesis and accumulation,enhanced lodging resistance,and increased grain yield in oil flax grown in the dryland farming region of central Gansu,China.Furthermore,this treatment provides a technical basis for cultivating stress-tolerant and high-yield oil flax in arid regions.

文摘Green ammonia,produced by harnessing renewable solar energy to split nitrogen,plays a pivotal role in both agricultural practices and forthcoming energy configurations,driving the sustainable development of human society with zero-carbon emissions.However,nitrogen photoreduction currently faces the challenges of poor activation ability and low yield,and it is still challenging to unravel the intertwined problems in this field and provide direction for its development due to the complex reaction mechanism and multidisciplinary aspects such as photochemistry,catalysis,interface science,and technology.This review focuses on capturing the latest advances in photocatalytic nitrogen-to-ammonia conversion,delving into fundamental principles regarding the process,efficient photocatalysts for practical ammonia synthesis,and well-designed catalytic environments.Besides,this article provides insightful guidelines for analyzing complicated reaction mechanisms and identifying key bottlenecks or specific rate-determining steps,such as reactant activation,interfacial reaction engineering,and hydrogen evolution side reactions.By integrating perspectives from atomic mechanisms,nanoscale photocatalysts,microscale interfacial engineering,and macroscale reaction system design,this review advances the development of nitrogen photoreduction from proof-of-concept discoveries to viable solar-to-chemical conversion technologies,while also providing a valuable entry point for researchers into this burgeoning field.
