Lakes play a vital role in nitrogen (N) removal and water quality improvement, yet their efficiency varies due to differing watershed N input and lake characteristics, complicating management efforts. Here Prof. YAN Xiaoyuan, Prof. XIA Yongqiu and their research team established the N budget ...
Understanding dissolved organic matter (DOM) transformation is crucial for comprehending soil biogeochemical cycling. However, the extent that soil microbes mediate DOM transformation at the molecular level, and whether this is regulated by fertilization remain largely unknown. Here associate...
Numerous studies have documented the beneficial effects of short-term biochar application on soil carbon sequestration, greenhouse gas emissions reduction, and ecological functions enhancement. However, concerns persist regarding the impacts on soil reactive nitrogen (N) loss and crop yields ...
Microbial oxidizers of trace gases such as hydrogen (H2) and carbon monoxide (CO) are widely distributed in soil microbial communities and play a vital role in modulating biogeochemical cycles. However, the contribution of trace gas oxidizers to soil carbon fixation and the driving environmen...
Saltwater intrusion (SWI) on low-lying coastal farms causes soil salinization, which may gradually render the land unsuitable for cultivation. Many studies on SWI focus on groundwater flow and salt transport, where the temporal dynamic of consequent soil salinization is understudied. To under...
Global warming poses an unprecedented threat to agroecosystems. Although temperature increases are more pronounced during winter than in other seasons, the impact of winter warming on crop biomass carbon has not been elucidated. Here Prof. Liang Yuting and her research team integrate global o...
