- Abstract:
- ... Plastic mulch, which is widely used in agricultural production, releases phthalates to soil–plant systems and thus may pose potential human health risks. There is a growing concern of whether or how the phthalate bio-uptake varies with increasing mulching years, and what is the underlying mechanism and how this variation responds to global warming. Here, we used one of the most common leafy vegeta ...

- Abstract:
- ... Litter decomposition is a vital component of carbon and nutrients cycling and energy flow within terrestrial ecosystems. Understanding the litter decomposition rate with a temperature change of 1 °C (kDD, degree days⁻¹) is critical for quantifying the climate-carbon, nutrients, and energy cycle feedback and predicting the response of ecosystems to climate change. However, the spatial pattern of kD ...

Despite its importance, the contribution of preferential flow pathways (PFPs) to subsurface phosphorus (P) leaching from heavily-fertilized plastic shed vegetable production (PSVP) soils in China has remained unexplored. To investigate this, five acid fine-textured Orthic Anthrosols and six alkaline coarse-textured Ustic Cambosols intact soil columns (20 cm depth and 15 cm diameter), from two typi ...

Some nearshore coral reef environments off the Equatorial margin of Brazil, including Pirangi and Maracajaú, Rio Grande do Norte (RN, Brazil), seem to be under human-induced stress. However, the horizontal extent of this stress, its effec ...

Soil microbial carbon use efficiency (CUE), defined as the ratio between carbon (C) allocated to growth and C taken up by microorganisms, is pivotal for the understanding of C cycling in terrestrial ecosystems. Soil microbial CUE is thought to increase under nitrogen (N) addition, thereby mediating the effects of atmospheric N deposition on C cycling in soils. We studied the effects of N, phosphor ...
