... Aerosol volatility has a substantial impact on gas-particle partitioning, aging process and hence brown carbon (BrC) absorption. Here we analyzed single-particle volatility in winter in Beijing using a thermodenuder coupled with a single particle aerosol mass spectrometer along with a suite of collocated measurements. Our results showed that elemental carbon, metals, organic nitrogen (ON) were the ...
... The increasing application of anammox processes suggests their enormous potential for nitrogen removal in wastewater treatment facilities. However, the functional potentials and ecological differentiation of cooccurring anammox species in complex ecosystems have not been well elucidated. Herein, by utilizing functional reconstruction and comparative genome analysis, we deciphered the cooccurring m ...

Abstract:
... Forest soils are a major source of N₂O emissions from terrestrial ecosystems. However, the magnitude and contribution of N₂O production from different pathways in Australian forest soils remain uncertain. We conducted a ¹⁵N tracing laboratory incubation experiment on 13 forest soils sampled from subtropical, temperate and arid regions across Australia and found that forest soils in temperate areas ...

Abstract:
... Dissolved organic nitrogen (DON) plays a crucial role in biogeochemical processes of nitrogen (N) and has become a non‐negligible source of increasing groundwater nitrogen contamination. Therefore, the extraction accuracy of DON in unsaturated zones is essential for sound understanding of N transport, transformation behaviour and contamination processes. However, there is no uniform extraction sta ...

... Depolymerization of high‐molecular weight organic nitrogen (N) represents the major bottleneck of soil N cycling and yet is poorly understood compared to the subsequent inorganic N processes. Given the importance of organic N cycling and the rise of global change, we investigated the responses of soil protein depolymerization and microbial amino acid consumption to increased temperature, elevated ...

Abstract:
... The determination of organic nitrogen (N) mineralization is crucial for estimating N availability, quantifying exogenous inputs, and estimating associated environmental impacts. The objective of this study was to explore the effect of long-term various fertilization on soil organic N mineralization potential (NMP), which influences plant N accessibility. Treatments from a 26-year long-term field e ...

Abstract:
... Dissolved organic nitrogen (DON) has been a research subject due to its potential to form nitrogenous disinfection byproducts (N-DBPs) in drinking water treatment. In our study, CoFe layered double oxide (CoFe-LDO) was selected as an effective catalyst for the removal of histidine by activation of peroxymonosulfate (PMS). The results investigated that the removal of DON and histidine within 1 h in ...

Abstract:
... The pelagophyte Aureococcus anophagefferens causes harmful brown tide blooms in marine embayments on three continents. Aureococcus anophagefferens was the first harmful algal bloom species to have its genome sequenced, an advance that evidenced genes important for adaptation to environmental conditions that prevail during brown tides. To expand the genomic tools available for this species, genomes ...

Abstract:
... Oceanic mesoscale eddies constitute ephemeral hotspots for marine life and are pivotal for the lateral transport of nutrients and organic matter. Here, we use a high‐resolution coupled physical‐biogeochemical model to study the processes sustaining biological production and export in long‐living cyclonic (CE) and anticyclonic (AE) eddies of the northern Canary Upwelling System (CanUS). We track th ...

Abstract:
... Recent studies found that both nitrite (NO₂–) and ammonium (NH₄⁺) lead to nitrophenolic byproducts in SO₄•– oxidation processes, during which NO₂• generated through the oxidation of the inorganic nitrogen by SO₄•– is the key nitrating agent. This study demonstrates that the formation of phenoxy radicals to which NO₂• can be incorporated immediately is another governing factor. Two types of sites h ...

Abstract:
... Long‐term field experiments (LTEs) are invaluable in improving understanding of soil organic matter (SOM) turnover, as some of the involved processes have proceeded over centuries. Prediction of such slow carbon fluxes depends especially on the initialization of slow‐reacting model pools and requires monitoring for a very long time for evaluation. This study reports soil organic matter (SOM) model ...

Abstract:
... Mink manure is one of the high nitrogenous wastes, which can easily cause nitrogen mineralization during composting, resulting in low resource reutilization. However, there are few studies on the resource utilization of mink manure. Therefore, this study investigated the effects of functional microbial (bacterial and actinomycetes agents) inoculation on nitrogen mineralization during mink manure c ...

Abstract:
... Nitrogen pollution in urban stormwater has led to serious quality issues in urban water. Nitrogen pollution mitigation requires fully understanding the transport process and major nitrogen sources in urban stormwater. In this study, the concentrations and flux of various nitrogen forms during urban stormwater transport were analyzed. It was found that the concentration and flux of NO₃⁻-N and NH₃-N ...

Abstract:
... Nitrogenous aerosols, including inorganic nitrogen (IN) and organic nitrogen (ON), are relevant to ecosystem evolution, secondary aerosol formation, and biotoxicity. While analytical method for aerosol IN species is achievable, a direct quantification method of bulk ON is so far unavailable, hindering the quantitative assessment of atmospheric nitrogenous aerosols. In this study, we develop the fi ...

PURPOSE: Knowledge of nitrogen (N) dynamics of organic fertilisers as partial substitutes for chemical fertilisers could improve the retention of mineral N and optimise fertilisation practices in paddy soils. MATERIALS AND METHODS: ¹⁵ N tracing was performed to quantify the effect of 36 years of partial substitution of chemical N by organic N on gross N transformation rates in soils, and its relat ...

... The decline in high ecological water status in rivers is a significant concern in European countries. It is thus important to investigate the factors that cause sites to lose high status in order to undertake measures to protect and restore high status water quality. Analysis of 20 years of water quality data reveals strong mobility between high status and non-high status (especially good status) ...

Abstract:
... Plants benefit from symbiotic relationships with their microbiomes. Modifying these microbiomes to further promote plant growth and improve stress tolerance in crops is a promising strategy. However, such efforts have had limited success, perhaps because the original microbiomes quickly re-establish. Since the complex biological networks involved are little understood, progress through conventiona ...
