Abstract Norfloxacin (NOF) is an environmentally harmful and ubiquitous aquatic pollutant with extensive production application. In this study, a novel composition named carbon-based composite photocatalytic material of zinc oxide sulphide (ZnO/ZnS@BC) was successfully obtained by the impregnation-roasting method to remove NOF under UV-light. Scanning electron microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, transmission microscopy energy dispersive spectrometer characterised composition....
Microplastics (MPs), as a new persistent pollutant, can be emitted and accumulated in urban environments, but there is no detailed information on the driving factors of MP pollution. In this study, through large-scale wetland soil survey, features MPs were characterized each area. The results showed an average abundance to 379 n/kg soil. Polypropylene, fiber or fragment, black color common composition, shape, color, respectively. spatial distribution that was significantly relevant distance...
To understand the nanotoxicity effects on plants, it is necessary to systematically study distribution of NPs in vivo. Herein, elemental and particle-imaging techniques were used unravel size ZnO phytotoxicity. Small-sized (5, 20, 50 nm) showed an inhibitory effect length biomass rice (Oryza sativa L.) as a model plant. NP caused root cell membrane damage, increased malondialdehyde content, activated antioxidant enzymes. As control, same dose Zn2+ salt did not affect physiological...
Intercropping is one of the most widely used agroforestry techniques, reducing harmful impacts external inputs such as fertilizers. It also controls soil erosion, increases nutrients availability, and reduces weed growth. In this study, intercropping peanut (Arachishypogaea L.) was done with tea plants (Camellia oleifera), it compared mono-cropping peanut. Soil health fertility were examined by analyzing variability in enzymatic activity availability at different depths (0–10 cm, 10–20 20–30...
In the present work, a series of magnetically separable Fe3O4/g-C3N4/MoO3 nanocomposite catalysts were prepared. The as-prepared characterized by XRD, EDX, TEM, FT-IR, UV-Vis DRS, TGA, PL, BET and VSM. photocatalytic activity materials was evaluated catalytic degradation tetracycline solution under visible light irradiation. Furthermore, influences weight percent MoO3 scavengers reactive species on investigated. results showed that (30%) nanocomposites exhibited highest removal ability for...
Agroforest systems have been widely recognized as an integrated approach to sustainable land use for addressing the climate change problem because of their greater potential sequester atmospheric CO2 with multiple economic and ecological benefits. However, nature extent effects age-sequence agroforestry on carbon (C) storage remain largely unknown. To reveal influence different aged poplar-crop C stocks, we investigated variation in biomass under four agroforest (3-, 9-, 13-, 17-year-old)...
Soil and water loss represent a significant environmental challenge in purple soil cropland China. However, the quantity mechanism of nutrient from remain unclear. To understand conservation address nitrogen (N) phosphorus (P) mitigation Camellia oleifera forest stands on slope farmland, this study aimed to explore resistance control effect N P such agricultural landscapes. In study, runoff plot experiment was conducted farmland. The included three distinct treatments: intercropping oil tea...
Coal gangue dumps, a byproduct of coal mining, contribute significantly to heavy metal contamination, impacting soil and water quality. In order assess the levels contamination in soils at different stages abandonment, this study investigated role Miscanthus floridulus (M. floridulus) spatial distribution remediation six metals (Cd, Cr, Mn, Ni, Cu, Pb) dump abandoned for 0, 8, 12 years Pingxiang City, Jiangxi Province, China. Fieldwork was conducted three sites operated by Mining Group:...
Soil CO2 efflux rates were measured in a eucalypt open forest tropical savanna of northern Australia, with portable closed chamber and gas analyser. Both abiotic (soil temperature water content) biotic (litterfall fine-root growth) factors that may influence soil examined. Daytime rate consistently higher than nocturnal values. Maximal occurred during late afternoons when temperatures also maximal minimum values recorded the early morning (0400–0800 hours). Average was 5.37 mol m–2 s–1...
<title>Abstract</title> Invasive exotic earthworms have been identified as a major ecological threat to forest ecosystems in the Great Lakes region, affecting soil structure, nutrient cycling, and biodiversity. Understanding biological parameters such body length, weight, growth rate, regeneration patterns of these is crucial first step comprehending their life cycle impacts on processes terrestrial ecosystems. In this study, an earthworm survey was conducted Huron Mountains Michigan's Upper...
Fine roots (diameter ≤ 2 mm) play a critical role in regulating soil organic carbon storage and nutrient cycling forest ecosystems. However, the variability fine root biomass, production, turnover rates across different types remains poorly understood. This study investigates dynamics, including distribution, turnover, four major monoculture plantation forests subtropical China: Chinese fir (Cunninghamia lanceolata (Lamb.) Hook), Masson pine (Pinus massoniana Lamb.), sweet gum (Liquidambar...
Soil organic carbon (SOC) plays a critical role in regulating the global (C) cycle, with forest soils serving as significant C sinks. aggregate stability and distribution of SOC different fractions would be affected by types. In this study, we investigate dynamics within soil across three main types Huron Mountains, Michigan, USA: white birch–eastern hemlock mixed forest, eastern-hemlock-dominated sugar maple forest. We hypothesize that variations species composition depth influence storage...
ABSTRACT Microbial necromass nitrogen (MNN) is increasingly recognized as a major source of soil N, playing crucial role in N sequestration and sustaining balance. However, quantitative data on the contribution MNN to total its relationship with multifunctionality (SMF) karst plantation ecosystems remain lacking. In this study, (measured via amino sugar analysis) SMF (calculated using mean value method) were determined across five plantations unafforested land (control) Wuling Mountains...
Soil multifunctionality is essential for the enhancement of soil carbon sequestration, but disturbances such as thinning practices can influence microbial activity and cycling. Microbial residues, particularly residue (MRC), are important contributors to organic (SOC), effects intensity on MRC accumulation remain poorly understood. This study evaluated impact four treatments-control (CK, 0%), light-intensity (LIT, 20%), medium-intensity (MIT, 30%), high-intensity (HIT, 45%)-on in Chinese fir...
