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...
Denitrification plays a pivotal role in nitrogen (N) cycling in rice paddies, significantly impacting N loss and greenhouse gas emissions. Accurate quantification of net N2 emissions from paddy fields is therefore essential for improving fertilizer N use efficiency. However, challenges in dir...
Soil organic carbon (SOC) is the largest carbon pool in terrestrial ecosystems and plays a crucial role in mitigating climate change and enhancing soil productivity. Microbial-derived carbon (MDC), accounting for about half of the total SOC pool, is the main component of the persistent SOC po...
