Abstract:
... The most widespread nature-based solution for mitigating climate change is tree planting. When realized as forest restoration in historically forested biomes, it can efficiently contribute to the sequestration of atmospheric carbon and can also entail significant biodiversity and ecosystem service benefits. Conversely, tree planting in naturally open biomes can have adverse effects, of which water ...

Abstract:
... Rhizosphere microorganisms can affect the nutrient uptake of plant roots, and therefore contribute significantly to plant growth and nutrient cycling in forest ecosystems. Our previous studies revealed that the application of biogas slurry, an available organic fertilizer, increased the signal intensity and diversity of functional microbial genes in bulk soil. Further study of the response of rhiz ...

Wood is the most abundant biomass on Earth and, by absorbing atmospheric carbon dioxide, functions as one of the largest carbon sinks. As a sustainable and eco-friendly energy source, lignocellulos ...

Abstract:
... The pretreatment of lignocellulosic biomass is important for efficient bioethanol conversion, but causes undesirable by-products that inhibit microbial growth, conversely affecting the bioconversion efficiency. In this study, the main inhibitors derived from dilute phosphoric acid plus steam-exploded poplar wood were identified as 0.22 g/L furfural, 3.63 g/L acetic acid, 0.08 g/L syringaldehyde, e ...

Abstract:
... The combination of natural wood and graphene can provide a new type of material with excellent mechanical properties and thermal conductivity. However, it is difficult for graphene to uniformly penetrate the wood due to the anisotropy of natural wood and the agglomeration of graphene. In this work, poplar veneer was treated with low-energy-density microwave to expand the entry pathways for the gra ...

Abstract:
... Ground-level ozone (O₃) is a secondary air pollutant and affects the roots and soil processes of trees. Therefore, O₃ can affect the uptake and allocation of nutrients in trees, which merits further clarification. A fumigation experiment with five O₃ levels was conducted in 15 open top chambers for two poplar clones, and the concentrations of six macronutrients (N, P, K, S, Ca, Mg) in different or ...

Abstract:
... Drought is the main abiotic stress that negatively affects the crop yield. Due to the rapid climate change, actual plant defence mechanisms may be less effective against increased drought stress and other related or co-occurring abiotic stresses such as salt and high temperature. Thus, genetic engineering approaches may be an important tool for improving drought tolerance in crops. This mini-revie ...
