Nitrous oxide (N2O) is a potent greenhouse gas (GHG) with agricultural soils representing its largest anthropogenic source. However, the mechanisms involved in N2O emission and factors affecting fluxes response to various nitrogenous fertilizer applications remain uncertain. We conducted four-year (2012–2015) field experiment assess how fertilization scheme impacts emissions from rice-wheat cropping system eastern China. The treatments included Control (CK), Conventional (CF), CF...

Recently, replacing chemical fertilizers with straw returning and new has received considerable attention in the agricultural sector, as it is believed to increase rice yield improve soil properties. However, less known about growth properties paddy fields addition of different fertilizers. Thus, this paper, we investigated effects fertilizer treatments, including no fertilization (CK), optimized based on medium recommended amount (OF), 4.50 Mg ha−1 (SF), 0.59 slow-release (SRF), 0.60...

Electrokinetic-enhanced phytoremediation is an effective technology to decontaminate heavy metal contaminated soil. In this study, we examined the effects of electrokinetic treatments on plant uptake and bioaccumulation U from soils with various sources. Redistribution uranium in as affected by planting was investigated. The soil spiked 100 mg kg–1 UO2, UO3, UO2(NO3)2. After sunflower Indian mustard grew for 60 days, 1 voltage direct-current applied across 9 days. results indicated that both...

The prediction of soil organic matter is important for measuring the soil’s environmental quality and degree degradation. In this study, we combined China’s GF-6 remote sensing data with content obtained from sampling points in study area to predict content. To these data, applied random forest (RF), light gradient boosting machine (LightGBM), tree (GBDT), extreme (XGBoost) learning models. We used coefficient determination (R2), root mean square error (RMSE), absolute (MAE) evaluate model....

Low-molecular-weight organic acids (LMWOAs) are essential components of rice roots exudates and an important source soil carbon. The chemical-microbial pathway by which LMWOA affects arsenic (As) cycling in the rhizosphere paddy soils is still unclear. In this study, three typical LMWOAs (acetic acid (AA), oxalic (OA), citric (CA)) root were added to As-contaminated at a concentration 10 mM, mimicking environment. results showed that addition AA OA inhibited mobilization As soil. After 14...
