Abstract A heterogeneous, inexpensive, and environmentally friendly graphene oxide catalytic system for the C−H bond arylation of benzene enables formation biaryl compounds in presence aryl iodides. The oxygen functional groups these sheets addition KO t Bu are essential observed activity. Reactions with various model DFT calculations confirmed that negatively charged atoms promote overall transformation by stabilizing activating K + ions, which turns facilitates activation C−I bond....

Abstract Stabilizing single‐atom metal catalysts with carbon materials and utilizing their synergistic effect remains challenging due to weak interactions between carbon‐based supports metals. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations indicate that a single Ru atom was supported on wide range of natural nanoporous materials, including C 2 N, triazine‐C 3 N 4 (T‐C ), γ‐graphene. These belong new generation highly efficient electrocatalysts for the reduction reaction (NRR) are named 1 @C...

Summary Biochar has the potential to modify soil structure and hydraulic properties because of its small particle density, highly porous structure, grain size distribution surface chemistry. However, knowledge long‐term effects biochar on physical under field conditions is limited. Using an 8‐year trial, we investigated successive additions high‐dose maize‐cob‐derived (9.0 t ha −1 year , HB), low‐dose (4.5 LB), straw return (SR) control (no or straw, CK) aggregate distribution,...

The influence of bio-compost on the diversity, composition and structure soil microbial communities is less understood. Here, Illumina MiSeq sequencing a network analysis were used to comprehensively characterize effects 25 years application diversity community composition. High dosages significantly increased bacterial fungal richness. compositions altered by addition. Bio-compost addition enriched relative abundance beneficial microorganisms (such as Sphingomonas, Acidibacter,...

Abstract Deep rooting is critical for access to water and nutrients found in subsoil. However, damage soil structure the natural increase strength with depth, often impedes root penetration. Evidence suggests that roots use macropores (soil cavities greater than 75 μm) bypass strong layers. If have exploit structures, a key trait conferring deep will be ability locate existing pore networks; called trematotropism. In this study, artificial were created repacked columns at bulk densities of...

Abstract Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) root growth in the subsoil is usually constrained by soil strength, although roots can use macropores to elongate deeper layers. The quantitative relationship between elongation of wheat and pore system, however, still be determined. We studied depth distribution six varieties explored their with macroporosity from samples field structure preserved. Undisturbed cores (to a 100 cm) were collected then non-destructively imaged using X-ray computed...

Reports regarding the effects of long-term organic and inorganic fertilization on quantity quality soil carbon (SOC), particularly in Vertisols, are scarce. In this study, we combined SOC physical fractionation with 13C NMR spectroscopy technology to investigate effect 34 years continuous fractions its chemical composition 0-20 cm layer a Vertisol. This study consisted six treatments: no (control), nitrogen, phosphorus potassium fertilizers (NPK), low high amounts straw (NPKLS NPKHS), pig or...

The intra-aggregate architecture of soil macroaggregates provides suitable microhabitats for nematodes to graze on microorganisms. However, it is not fully clear how and microbial communities interactively mediate organic carbon (SOC) turnover. Here, we aimed illustrate the relationships between nematodes, community, SOC turnover in a red receiving long-term manure application. Soil (>2 mm) were sampled from an 11-year field experiment including four treatments: no (M0), low rate (M1), high...
