The widespread use of polyethylene (PE) mulch films has led to a significant accumulation plastic waste in agricultural soils. biodegradation by microorganisms promises provide cost-effective and environmentally-friendly alternative for mitigating soil pollution. A large number capable degrading PE have been reported, but degradation may be further enhanced the cooperative activity multiple microbial species. Here, two novel strains Arthrobacter sp. Streptomyces were isolated from soils...

Abstract. Global warming may lead to carbon transfers from soils the atmosphere, yet this positive feedback climate system remains highly uncertain, especially in subsoils (Ilyina and Friedlingstein, 2016; Shi et al., 2018). Using natural geothermal soil gradients of up +6.4 ∘C subarctic grasslands (Sigurdsson 2016), we show that organic (SOC) stocks decline strongly linearly with (−2.8 t ha−1 ∘C−1). Comparison SOC stock changes following medium-term (5 10 years) long-term (>50 revealed...

The substantial carbon sequestration observed in abandoned farmland assumes a pivotal role mitigating the impacts of global warming. However, it remains unclear how to effectively manage farmlands achieve this goal, especially over long term, and understand underlying mechanisms. introduction legumes can augment vegetation coverage, mitigate soil erosion, ameliorate quality. A long-term study has been conducted semiarid region Loess Plateau since 2003, with focus on revegetation strategies...

Cellulose, the major component of plant cell walls, can be converted to bioethanol and is thus highly studied. In plants, cellulose produced by synthase, a processive family-2 glycosyltransferase. individual β-1,4-glucan chains polymerized CesA are assembled into microfibrils that frequently bundled macrofibrils. An in vitro system which synthesized fibrils would facilitate detailed study this process. Here, we report heterologous expression partial purification His-tagged CesA5 from...

Land use patterns and vegetation coverage in semi-arid areas of the Loess Plateau have undergone great changes due to implementation “Grain for Green” project. The introduction legume pasture species, such as alfalfa ( Medicago sativa L.) sweet clover Melilotus officinalis L.), is one most efficient methods restoration reconstruction this region. However, there a need an effective assessment root system distribution its interaction with soil after long-term introduction. An experiment...

The Pearl River delivers a large amount of plastic waste to the Estuary (PRE) and adjacent Northern South China Sea (NSCS) region each year. However, transport floating litter after release is difficult predict due complex hydrodynamic conditions caused by climate variability. A regional ocean circulation model coupled with Lagrangian particle tracking utilized in this study simulate distribution fate particles under influence El Niño - Southern Oscillation (ENSO) event. Simulations are...

Concerns now exist about the long-term biological effects of exposure to orthopaedic metal alloys, particularly serum cobalt and chromium ions derived from metal-on-metal wear debris in these patients. A pseudotumour mass complicating resurfacing arthroplasty has been recognized by oncologists specialist hip units. Pseudotumours may also present with a major nerve palsy. Two cases femoral neuropathy due masses caused are presented. Preoperative neurophysiological studies showed severe...

Summary Below and aboveground vegetation dynamics are crucial in understanding how climate warming may affect terrestrial ecosystem carbon cycling. In contrast to biomass, the response of belowground biomass long‐term has been poorly studied. Here, we characterized impacts decadal geothermal at two levels (on average +3.3°C +7.9°C) on below plant stocks production a subarctic grassland. Soil did not change standing root even decreased fine reduced production. Decadal soil also significantly...

To solve the thermal problem in a traditional rotor permanent-magnet (PM) bearingless motor having magnets rotor, this paper, two topology structures of flux-switching (BFSPM) motors were proposed, namely, 12-stator-slot/10-rotor-pole BFSPM and 12-stator-slot/14-rotor-pole motor, which PMs, suspending windings, armature windings are stator, whereas is only made iron. The electromagnetic characteristics compared based on two-dimensional finite-element analysis, including magnetic saturation,...

Human activities are critical factors influencing ecosystem sustainability. However, knowledge on regarding the mechanisms underlying response of vegetation dynamics to human remains limited. To detect driving and their individual contribution grassland in China’s Loess Plateau, a structural equation model (SEM) principal component regression were built. The SEM showed that population change urbanization, temperature humidity, agriculture economy accounted for 62.5%, 31.2%, 7.7%,...

We tested the relation between below- and aboveground tree phenology, determining if beech oak have a greater fine-root lifespan smaller turnover rate than birch thinner fine-roots or born in spring shorter thicker another season. The bud burst, leaf senescence Belgian stands were monitored using minirhizotrons, visual observations, chlorophyll measurements, respectively. phenology estimated generalized additive models Kaplan–Meier analyses, Unlike belowground did not show clear repeating...
