文摘Economical,stable,and corrosion-resistant catalytic electrodes are still urgently needed for the oxygen evolution reaction(OER)in water and seawater.Herein,a mild electroless plating strategy is used to achieve large-scale preparation of the“integrated”phosphorus-based precatalyst(FeP-NiP)on nickel foam(NF),which is in situ reconstructed into a highly active and corrosion-resistant(Fe)NiOOH phase for OER.The interaction between phosphate anions(PO_(x)^(y-))and iron ions(Fe^(3+))tunes the electronic structure of the catalytic phase to further enhance OER kinetics.The integrated FeP-NiP@NF electrode exhibits low overpotentials for OER in alkaline water/seawater,requiring only 275/289,320/336,and 349/358 mV to reach 0.1,0.5,and 1.0 A cm^(−2),respectively.The in situ reconstructed PO_(x)^(y-)anion electrostatically repels Cl−in seawater electrolytes,allowing stable operation for over 7 days at 1.0 A cm^(−2) in extreme electrolytes(1.0 M KOH+seawater and 6.0 M KOH+seawater),demonstrating industrial-level stability.This study overcomes the complex synthesis limitations of P-based materials through innovative material design,opening new avenues for electrochemical energy conversion.

文摘Phosphorus(P)is an essential nutrient for crop growth,making it important for maintaining food security as the global population continues to increase.Plants acquire P primarily via the uptake of inorganic phosphate(Pi)in soil through their roots.Pi,which is usually sequestered in soils,is not easily absorbed by plants and represses plant growth.Plants have developed a series of mechanisms to cope with P deficiency.Moreover,P fertilizer applications are critical for maximizing crop yield.Maize is a major cereal crop cultivated worldwide.Increasing its P-use efficiency is important for optimizing maize production.Over the past two decades,considerable progresses have been achieved in studies aimed at adapting maize varieties to changes in environmental P supply.Here,we present an overview of the morphological,physiological,and molecular mechanisms involved in P acquisition,translocation,and redistribution in maize and combine the advances in Arabidopsis and rice,to better elucidate the progress of P nutrition.Additionally,we summarize the correlation between P and abiotic stress responses.Clarifying the mechanisms relevant to improving P absorption and use in maize can guide future research on sustainable agriculture.

文摘Rice-fish coculture(RFC)has aroused extensive concern for its contribution to food security and resource conservation,but whether it can improve soil phosphorus(P)availability and affect microbe-mediated P turnover remains elusive.Herein,we conducted a microcosm experiment to assess the impacts of RFC combined with(50 mg P kg^(-1)as KH2PO4)and without inorganic P addition on P fractions,P availability,and phoD-harboring bacterial community composition.The results revealed that RFC without P addition significantly improved P availability and phosphatase activity in paddy soil,while soil available P(AP),pH,and microbial biomass P(MBP)contributed to regulating P fractions.Moreover,the phoD-harboring bacterial abundance was linked to phosphatase activity,AP,total carbon(TC),and total P(TP)contents,and the ratios of TC to total nitrogen(TN)and TN to TP.We also found that the keystone taxa of phoD-harboring bacteria contributed to phosphatase production as well as organic P mineralization,thereby improving P availability.Our findings suggest that RFC without P addition is beneficial for promoting the expression of phoD-harboring bacterial functions to improve the capacity of P mineralization.Overall,our study provides insights into the responses of phoD-harboring bacterial functions for P turnover to RFC combined with and without P addition,showing the potential utilization of P resources in agricultural soil and the contribution of phosphatase activity to P acquisition in agriculture ecosystem.

文摘Exploiting non-precious metal catalysts with excellent oxygen reduction reaction(ORR)performance for energy devices is paramount essential for the green and sustainable society development.Herein,low-cost,high-performance biomass-derived ORR catalysts with an asymmetric Fe-N_(3)P configuration was prepared by a simple pyrolysis-etching technique,where carboxymethyl cellulose(CMC)was used as the carbon source,urea and 1,10-phenanthroline iron complex(FePhen)as additives,and Na_(3)PO_(4)as the phosphorus dopant and a pore-forming agent.The CMC-derived FeNPC catalyst displayed a large specific area(BET:1235 m^(2)g^(-1))with atomically dispersed Fe-N_(3)P active sites,which exhibited superior ORR activity and stability in alkaline solution(E_(1/2)=0.90 V vs.RHE)and Zn-air batteries(P_(max)=149 mW cm^(-2))to commercial Pt/C catalyst(E_(1/2)=0.87 V,P_(max)=118 mW cm^(-2))under similar experimental conditions.This work provides a feasible and costeffective route toward highly efficient ORR catalysts and their application to Zn-air batteries for energy conversion.

文摘The rapidly growing demand for lithium iron phosphate(LiFePO_(4))as the cathode material of lithium-ion batteries(LIBs)has aggravated the scarcity of phosphorus(P)reserves on Earth.This study introduces an environmentally friendly and economical method of P recovery from municipal wastewater,providing the P source for LiFePO_(4) cathodes.The novel approach utilizes the sludge of Fe-coagulant-based chemical P removal(CPR)in wastewater treatment.After a sintering treatment with acid washing,the CPR sludge,enriched with P and Fe,transforms into purified P-Fe oxides(Fe2.1P1.0O5.6).These oxides can substitute up to 35%of the FePO_(4) reagent as precursor,producing a carbon-coated LiFePO_(4)(LiFePO_(4)/C)cathode with a specific discharge capacity of 114.9 mA·h·g^(-1)at current density of 17 mA·g^(-1)),and cycle stability of 99.2%after 100 cycles.The enhanced cycle performance of the as-prepared LiFePO_(4)/C cathode may be attributed to the incorporations of impurities(such as Ca^(2+)and Na^(+))from sludge,with improved stability of crystal structure.Unlike conventional P-fertilizers,this P recovery technology converts 100%of P in CPR sludge into the production of value-added LiFePO_(4)/C cathodes.The recovered P from municipal wastewater can meet up to 35%of the P demand in the Chinese LIBs industry,offering a cost-effective solution for addressing the pressing challenges of P scarcity.

文摘Fertilization or atmospheric deposition of nitrogen(N)and phosphorus(P)to terrestrial ecosystems can alter soil N(P)availability and the nature of nutrient limitation for plant growth.Changing the allocation of leaf P fractions is potentially an adaptive strategy for plants to cope with soil N(P)availability and nutrient-limiting conditions.However,the impact of the interactions between imbalanced anthropogenic N and P inputs on the concentrations and allocation proportions of leaf P fractions in forest woody plants remains elusive.We conducted a metaanalysis of data about the concentrations and allocation proportions of leaf P fractions,specifically associated with individual and combined additions of N and P in evergreen forests,the dominant vegetation type in southern China where the primary productivity is usually considered limited by P.This assessment allowed us to quantitatively evaluate the effects of N and P additions alone and interactively on leaf P allocation and use strategies.Nitrogen addition(exacerbating P limitation)reduced the concentrations of leaf total P and different leaf P fractions.Nitrogen addition reduced the allocation to leaf metabolic P but increased the allocation to other fractions,while P addition showed opposite trends.The simultaneous additions of N and P showed an antagonistic(mutual suppression)effect on the concentrations of leaf P fractions,but an additive(summary)effect on the allocation proportions of leaf P fractions.These results highlight the importance of strategies of leaf P fraction allocation in forest plants under changes in environmental nutrient availability.Importantly,our study identified critical interactions associated with combined N and P inputs that affect leaf P fractions,thus aiding in predicting plant acclimation strategies in the context of intensifying and imbalanced anthropogenic nutrient inputs.

文摘The leaf nitrogen(N)to phosphorus(P)ratio(N:P)is a critical indicator of nutrient dynamics and ecosystem function.Investigating temporal variations in leaf N:P can provide valuable insights into how plants adapt to environmental changes and nutrient availability.However,limited research has been conducted on long-term temporal leaf N:P variation over a range of temperature zones.Using long-term monitoring data from the Chinese Ecosystem Research Network(CERN),we investigated temporal changes in leaf N and P stoichiometry for 50 dominant tree species from 10 typical forest sites across temperate and subtropical regions,and identified the underlying mechanisms driving these changes.For both regions combined,leaf P concentration of the 50 dominant tree species decreased(20.6%),whereas leaf N:P increased(52.0%)from 2005 to 2020.Leaf P decreased and leaf N:P increased in 67% and 69% of the tree species,respectively.The leaf N:P increase was primarily driven by the tree species in eastern subtropical forests,where global change factors and soil nutrients explained 68% of leaf N:P variation.The P limitation exhibited by tree species in eastern subtropical forest ecosystems intensified over time,and elevated temperature and CO_(2) levels,coupled with decreased soil available P concentrations,appear to be the main factors driving long-term leaf N:P increases in these forests.Investigating long-term variations in soil nutrients together with global change factors will improve our understanding of the nutrient status of forest ecosystems in the context of global change and will support effective forest ecosystem management.

文摘Utilizing phosphorus tailings as the raw material for foam concrete is a key approach to achieving sustainable and efficient resource utilization.During the preparation of phosphorus tailings-based foam concrete,slurry performance is critical to the successful production.Phosphorus tailings,cement and microsilica were used to prepare foam concrete slurry in this study.A rheometer was employed as a test tool to measure the variation of linear viscoelastic zone(LVR),viscosity,and yield stress of the slurries with different cement contents.The results indicate that the phosphorus tailings-cement-microsilica slurry exhibits shear-thinning properties,which aligns well with the Herschel-Bulkley model,showing a high degree of correlation.As the cement content increases,the energy storage modulus of the slurry rises,and the LVR length shows a nonlinear trend.The LVR reaches its maximum length of 0.04%when the cement content is 6 mass%or 8 mass%.The increment of the cement content leads to a more intricate internal network structure,which hinders the reconstruction rate of the flocculated structure after high-shear deformation.

文摘The rapid development of industrialization requires the advancement of multifunctional coatings.In this study,successful self-assembly of iron porphyrin on BP nanosheets resulted in the synthesis of IBP nanosheets with a sandwich structure.Characterization tests including SEM,XPS,SPM,and XRD confirmed the successful preparation of IBP nanosheets with robust structural stability and antioxidation.Subsequently,a water-based epoxy resin(WEP)coating containing IBP nanosheets was prepared.Test results revealed that the composite coating containing 0.4 wt.%IBP nanosheets exhibited outstanding anti-corrosion,wear-resistant,and flame-retardant properties.After 42 days of immersion in a 3.5 wt.%NaCl solution,the Rct value of the 4-IBP/WEP coating was 1.79×10^(9)Ωcm^(2),surpassing the Pure WEP coating by more than 3 orders of magnitude.Additionally,the peak heat release rate(PHRR)and wear rate of the 4-IBP/WEP coating decreased by 19.29%and 90.97%compared to the Pure WEP coating.This research presents a novel idea for the utilization of BP nanosheets in multifunctional coatings.

文摘Whilst phosphorus(P)in soil is considered to be abundant,the portion available for plant uptake constitutes less than 1%of the overall P present.To enhance crop productivity,the utilization of mineral P fertilizers has become pervasive in agriculture.Nonetheless,the escalating prices of chemical fertilizers,coupled with new European regulations prohibiting the use of P fertilizers containing cadmium,have highlighted the urgency to identify environmentally friendly products and practices for P fertilization in agricultural soils.This comprehensive review delves into the current landscape of P fertilization from agricultural,political,and economic standpoints.We recognize the potential of microbes in mobilizing P,but emphasize the necessity for more robust research to establish their effectiveness in promoting plant P uptake under real-world conditions.Additionally,we explore the role of agricultural conservation practices,such as optimal tillage,diversified cropping systems,and increased organic carbon input,in conserving P.Furthermore,this review contemplates forthcoming innovations in research.These innovations encompass the development of enhanced formulations for biofertilizers and the undertaking of more comprehensive studies within the realm of conservation agriculture.All these endeavors collectively hold the potential to augment P accessibility to plants in a sustainable manner,thereby advancing agricultural sustainability and productivity.

文摘To explore water level variations and their dynamic influence on the water quality of Huayang Lakes,the water level from 1967 to 2023 and water quality from 2015 to 2023 were analyzed using the Mann–Kendall trend test,box plots,and violin plots.The results show a notable hydrological rhythm of water level alternation between dry and flood seasons in Huayang Lakes,with an average water level of 12.82 m and a monthly range of 11.21–17.24m.Since 2017,the water level of Huayang Rivers has shown a decreasing trend of–0.02 m/a.Total phosphorus(TP)has become the primary pollutant.The TP concentrations in Longgan Lake(the largest lake)during the dry,rising,flood,and retreating seasons from 2015 to 2023were 0.083,0.061,0.050,and 0.059 mg/L,respectively.The effect of water level on TP was mainly observed during the low-water period.When the water level in the dry season rose to 12.25 and 13.00 m,the percentage of TP exceeding 0.1 mg/L in Longgan Lake decreased to 55.8%and 33.3%,respectively.During the dry season,wind and wave disturbances caused the release of endogenous phosphorus in Huayang Lakes.This led to drastic fluctuations in TP concentration,reducing the correlation between water level and TP.When external control is limited,the water level during the dry season should be maintained between 12.25 and 13.0 m.Additionally,it is necessary to accelerate the restoration of submerged macrophyte species(such as Hydrilla verticillata and Vallisneria natans)in the Huayang Rivers.

文摘The interaction mechanism between eggshell calcium and endogenous silica in biomass during biochar modification,and its impact on phosphate adsorption performance and slow-release fertilizer characteristics,remains unexplored.This study investigates that high silica content in biomass(>6%)inhibits the decomposition of CaCO_(3)in eggshells during pyrolysis,reducing the formation of active calcium species(CaO and Ca(OH)_(2)),while moderate silica levels(4%-5%)promote the formation of CaSiO_(3),enhancing phosphorus adsorption without hindering Ca^(2+)activation.Adsorption studies reveal that the precipitation of Ca_(5)(PO_(4))_(3)(OH)resulting from the combination of CaO and Ca(OH)_(2)with phosphate is the primary and effective form for phosphorus removal in calcium-modified adsorbents,accompanied by Ca_(3)(PO_(4))_(2)·2H_(2)O precipitation formed by CaSi O_(3).Eggshell calcium-modified corn straw biochar(ECS)exhibited the highest adsorption capacity,reaching 123.3 mg/g,outperforming materials in previous studies.ECS also demonstrated excellent pH adaptability and selective phosphate removal.As a biochar-based phosphorus fertilizer,ECS-P exhibits high phosphorus extractability in formic acid(93.92%)but low water solubility(0.62%),with phosphorus release during the seven-day intermittent leaching experiment remaining between 0.53 to 0.875 mg/L.These results confirm its potential as a phosphorus cycling fertilizer.This study provides fundamental insights into optimizing biomass selection based on silica content for calcium modification,offering an efficient strategy for both phosphate recovery and slow-release fertilizer development.

文摘A newly developed P-doped CrCoNi medium-entropy alloy(MEA)provides both higher yield strength and larger uniform elongation than the conventional CrCoNi MEA,even superior tensile ductility to the other-element-doped CrCoNi MEAs at similar yield strength levels.P segregation at grain boundaries(GBs)and dissolution inside grain interiors,together with the related lower stacking fault energy(SFE)are found in the P-doped CrCoNi MEA.Higher hetero-deformation-induced(HDI)hardening rate is observed in the P-doped CrCoNi MEA due to the grain-to-grain plastic deformation and the dynamic structural refinement by high-density stacking fault-walls(SFWs).The enhanced yield strength in the P-doped CoCrNi MEA can be attributed to the strong substitutional solid-solution strengthening by severer lattice distortion and the GB strengthening by phosphorus segregation at GBs.During the tensile deformation,the multiple SFW frames inundated with massive multi-orientational tiny planar stacking faults(SFs)between them,rather than deformation twins,are observed to induce dynamic structural refinement for forming par-allelepiped domains in the P-doped CoCrNi MEA,due to the lower SFE and even lower atomically-local SFE.These nano-sized domains with domain boundary spacing at tens of nanometers can block disloca-tion movement for strengthening on one hand,and can accumulate defects in the interiors of domains for exceptionally high hardening rate on the other hand.
文摘Although bimetallic phosphide cocatalysts have attracted considerable interest in photocatalysis research owing to their advantageous thermodynamic characteristics,superstable and efficient cocatalysts have rarely been produced through the modulation of their structure and composition.In this study,a series of bimetallic nickel-iron phosphide(Ni_(x)Fe_(2-x)P,where 0<x<2)cocatalysts with controllable structures and overpotentials were designed by adjusting the atomic ratio of Ni/Fe onto nonmetallic elemental red phosphorus(RP)for the photocatalytic selective oxidation of benzyl alcohol(BA)coupled with hydrogen production.The catalysts exhibited an outstanding photocatalytic activity for benzaldehyde and a high H_(2)yield.The RP regulated by bimetallic phosphide cocatalysts(Ni_(x)Fe_(2-x)P)demonstrated higher photocatalytic oxidation-reduction activity than that regulated by monometallic phosphide cocatalysts(Ni_(2)P and Fe2P).In particular,the RP regulated by Ni_(1.25)Fe_(0.75)P exhibited the best photocatalytic performance.In addition,experimental and theoretical calculations further illustrated that Ni_(1.25)Fe_(0.75)P,with the optimized electronic structure,possessed good electrical conductivity and provided strong adsorption and abundant active sites,thereby accelerating electron migration and lowering the reaction energy barrier of RP.This finding offers valuable insights into the rational design of highly effective cocatalysts aimed at optimizing the photocatalytic activity of composite photocatalysts.

文摘Phosphorus(P)poses a global challenge to the environment and human health due to its natural association with heavy metals.Sustainable use of P is crucial to ensure food security for future generations.An analysis of the 150 phosphate fertilizers stored at the Institute for Crop and Soil Science in Germany has been conducted,supplemented by previously published data.The elements Cd,Bi,U,Cr,Zn,Tl,As,B,Sb,Ni,and Se are found in higher concentrations in sedimentary derived phosphates compared to igneous derived phosphates.Mineral fertilizers contain more than ten times the amount of U,Cd,B,and As compared to farmyard manure.Principal component analyses(PCA)indicate that U,Cd,Be,and Cr are primarily present in sedimentary derived phosphates and their concentrations are 2 to 10 times higher than those in igneous derived phosphates.Regarding heavy metal contamination,over 1000 potential combinations were identified;36% of these were significant but weak(>0.1).It is estimated that approximately 707 t of uranium enter farmland annually through the application of mineral phosphate fertilizers in European countries.This contribution addresses environmental issues related to the utilization of rock phosphate as well as alternative production methods for cleaner and safer phosphate fertilizers while presenting a roadmap with measures for mitigation.

文摘By simplifying catalyst-product separation and reducing phosphorus waste,heterogeneous hydroformylation offers a more sustainable alternative to homogeneous processes.However,heterogeneous hydroformylation catalysts developed thus far still suffer from the issues of much lower activity and metal leaching,which severely hinder their practical application.Here,we demonstrate that incorporating phosphorus(P)atoms into graphitic carbon nitride(PCN)supports facilitates charge transfer from Rh to the PCN support,thus largely enhancing electronic metal-support interactions(EMSIs).In the styrene hydroformylation reaction,the activity of Rh_(1)/PCN single-atom catalysts(SACs)with varying P contents exhibited a volcano-shaped relationship with P doping,where the Rh_(1)/PCN SAC with optimal P doping showed exceptional activity,approximately 5.8-and 3.3-fold greater than that of the Rh_(1)/g-C_(3)N_(4)SAC without P doping and the industrial homogeneous catalyst HRh(CO)(PPh_(3))_(3),respectively.In addition,the optimal Rh_(1)/PCN SAC catalyst also demonstrated largely enhanced multicycle stability without any visible metal aggregation owing to the increased EMSIs,which sharply differed from the severe metal aggregation of large nanoparticles on the Rh_(1)/g-C_(3)N_(4)SAC.Mechan-istic studies revealed that the enhanced catalytic performance could be attributed to electron-deficient Rh species,which reduced CO adsorption while simultaneously promoting alkene adsorption through increased EMSIs.These findings suggest that tuning EMSIs is an effective way to achieve SACs with high activity and durability.

文摘Understanding how different vegetation-based restoration practices alter soil chemical and microbial characteristics is crucial,as restoration practices influence phosphorus(P)transformation and fractions and modify P adsorption behavior during the restoration process of degraded land.This study investigated the impacts of vegetation-based restoration practices on soil chemical and microbial parameters,P fractions,and patterns of P adsorption and desorption,and highlighted the combined influence on P availability.To evaluate the impact of vegetation-based restoration practices on P fractions and adsorption behavior in the semi-arid degraded land in India,this study compared three distinct tree-based restoration systems,including Leucaena leucocephala(Lam.)de Wit-based silviculture system(SCS),Acacia nilotica(L.)Willd.ex Delile-based silvopasture system(SPS),and Emblica officinalis Gaertn-based hortipasture system(HPS),with a natural grassland system(NGS)and a degraded fallow system(FS)as control.The soil samples across various soil depths(0-15,15-30,and 30-45 cm)were collected.The findings demonstrated that SCS,SPS,and HPS significantly improved soil organic carbon(SOC)and nutrient availability.Moreover,SCS and SPS resulted in increased microbial biomass phosphorus(MBP)content and phosphatase enzyme activity.The P fractionation analysis revealed that ferrum-associated phosphorus(Fe-P)was the major P fraction,followed by aluminum-associated phosphorus(Al-P),reflecting the dominance of ferrum(Fe)and aluminum(Al)oxides in the semi-arid degraded land.Compared with FS,vegetation-based restoration practices significantly increased various P fractions across soil depths.Additionally,P adsorption and desorption analysis indicated a lower adsorption capacity in tree-based restoration systems than in FS,with FS soils adsorbing higher P quantities in the adsorption phase but releasing less P during the desorption phase.This study revealed that degraded soils responded positively to ecological restoration in terms of P fraction and desorption behavior,influencing the resupply of P in restoration systems.Consequently,litter rich N-fixing tree-based restoration systems(i.e.,SCS and SPS)increased total phosphorus(TP)stock for plants and sustained the potential for long-term P supply in semi-arid ecosystems.With the widespread adoption of restoration practices across degraded landscapes,SCS and SPS would significantly contribute to soil restoration and improve productivity by maintaining the soil P supply in semi-arid ecosystems in India.

文摘Simple cubic black phosphorus(BP)has been recognized as a strategic material due to its exceptional structural stability under extreme conditions.In this investigation,simple cubic BP was successfully synthesized through shock-induced phase transformation,utilizing amorphous red phosphorus as the precursor material.The phase evolution process was systematically investigated using plane shock loading apparatus,with shock pressure and temperature parameters being precisely controlled to optimize transformation kinetics.Comprehensive phase characterization revealed the correlation between thermodynamic loading profiles and cubic BP formation efficiency.Precursor modification strategies were implemented through orthorhombic BP utilization,resulting in enhanced cubic phase yield and crystallinity.The synthesized cubic BP variants are considered promising candidates for advanced protective material systems,particularly where combinations of mechanical resilience and thermal stability are required under extreme operational conditions.This research provides critical insights into shock-induced phase transformation mechanics,while establishing foundational protocols for manufacturing non-equilibrium materials with potential applications in next-generation defensive technologies.

文摘Humic acid(HA)prevents phosphorus(P)fixation and promotes P absorption by plants,thereby effectively increasing the efficiency of phosphate fertiliser utilisation.Although nano-sized HA(NHA)might exhibit superior effects compared to conventional-sized HA(CHA),evidence is limited.Therefore,we investigated the effects of CHA and NHA applied with conventional phosphate fertiliser(CHA+CP and NHA+CP,respectively)on chilli pepper biomass,P uptake,and root morphology,as well as soil available P content,and evaluated CHA,NHA,and their residues in the soil for differences in specific surface area,functional groups,molecular weight distribution,and surface elemental compositions in a 40-d pot cultivation experiment.Results showed that the CHA+CP and NHA+CP treatments significantly increased pepper biomass and P uptake by 15.2%–24.7%and 37.9%–49.0%,respectively,compared to the conventional phosphate fertiliser applied alone(CP)treatment(P<0.05),with NHA exhibiting a greater effect than CHA.This was primarily related to NHA's stronger ability to reduce P fixation than that of CHA.Soil available P content significantly increased by 5.8%and 3.8%in the NHA+CP treatment compared with CHA+CP on days 22 and 40 of cultivation,respectively(P<0.05).Nano-sized HA contained more small-molecule components and carboxyl groups than CHA,which can more stimulate root elongation and thus promote root P uptake.Furthermore,fertiliser-derived P gradually entered the structure of CHA or NHA during cultivation.The presence of more plant-available forms(e.g.,H2PO_(4)^(2-)and HPO_(4)^(2-))in NHA compared to CHA also contributed to better regulation of phosphate fertiliser efficacy.In conclusion,NHA is superior to CHA in improving phosphate fertiliser efficiency,making it a potential alternative material for the development of high-efficiency phosphate fertilisers.This presents an excellent opportunity to minimise P resource waste.

文摘Climate change is expected to alter the frequency and intensity of drying-rewetting cycles,impacting water availability and consequently soil nutrient availability.However,the effects of these fluctuations on the chemical speciation and bioavailability of phosphorus(P)in soil remain uncertain,both in the presence of desert species and in their absence.We conducted a pot experiment involving bare soil(absence of plants)and two desert species(Alhagi sparsifolia and Calligonum mongolicum)to determine the short-term impacts of drought(no water supply),drying-rewetting 1(D-RW1,high frequency of low water inputs),and drying-rewetting 2(D-RW2,low frequency of high water inputs)on soil Hedley P pools,plant P concentration,and plant biomass accumulation.Results demonstrated that the presence of plants significantly increased soil labile P and organic P(Po)concentrations by 60%–150%and 1%–68%,respectively,compared to the absence of plants.Both D-RW1 and D-RW2 treatments significantly increased soil dissolved organic carbon concentration by 2%–35%relative to the drought treatment.Moreover,in the presence of A.sparsifolia,soil resin-extractable P and NaHCO_(3)-extractable inorganic P(Pi)concentrations in the D-RW1 treatment significantly increased by 31%and 75%,respectively,when compared to the drought treatment,with the NaHCO_(3)-and NaOH-extractable Po concentrations in the D-RW2 treatment rising by 14%and 32%,respectively.Furthermore,the D-RW2 treatment significantly increased leaf P concentration and plant biomass compared to the D-RW1 and drought treatments.Overall,compared to the drought treatment,frequent low-intensity drying-rewetting cycles enhanced soil Pi turnover,whereas infrequent high-intensity drying-rewetting cycles increased Po turnover and P bioavailability.These findings will inform better water management strategies for desertification restoration in hyper-arid desert ecosystems.
