Continuously flooded rice systems are a major contributor to global production and food security. Allowing the soil dry periodically during growing season (such as with alternate wetting drying irrigation - AWD) has been shown decrease methane emissions, water usage, heavy metal accumulation in grain. However, effects of AWD on yields variable not well understood. A two-year study was established quantify impacts range treatments differing severity (degree between flooding events) yield (as...
In this paper, 2 atom % Al-doped ZnO (AZO) was prepared by the co-precipitation method together with sparking plasma sintering (SPS) treatment. The as-synthesized AZO powders show morphology of hollow hexagonal towers, which result in a high porosity 50.6% bulk sample consolidated SPS at 400 °C, and decreases gradually increasing temperature up to 1000 °C. Positron annihilation measurements reveal that even after there are still considerable number small pores. A electrical conductivity 3 ×...
Abstract Electrocarboxylation of organic compounds with CO 2 , using electrons as clean reductants under ambient conditions, is a readily available and efficient method to transform molecules high‐value carboxylates nearly 100% atom efficiency. However, the selectivity electrochemical reactions still limited, real reactive sites for electrocarboxylation; relationship between geometrical/electronic structure catalytic performance unclear. Meanwhile, development nanomaterials brings new...
Since their first application to soils in the late 1960s, assays of hydrolytic enzyme activities using para-nitrophenol (pNP) substrates have become a widespread tool soil biochemistry. As for any enzymes, accuracy measured can be strongly influenced by assay methodology (i.e., matrix type and controls) may further vary type. Assay determines time, labor, reagent costs, therefore each methodological decision should weighed against relative improvement accuracy. Using recursive partitioning...
Abstract Deforestation of tropical rainforests is a major land use change that alters terrestrial biogeochemical cycling at local to global scales. and subsequent reforestation are likely impact soil phosphorus (P) cycling, which in P‐limited ecosystems such as the Amazon basin has implications for long‐term productivity. We used 100‐year replicated observational chronosequence primary forest conversion pasture, well 13‐year‐old secondary forest, test duration effects on P dynamics basin. By...
