In this study, a combination of indoor culture and high-throughput sequencing was used to analyze changes in nutrients and fungal communities in black soil after the addition of biomass charcoal. The following conclusions were drawn: 1) After six months of constant temperature, black soils containing biomass carbon changed in physicochemical properties. For example, soil pH, organic matter, water...
The application of nitrogen fertilizers can improve the soil environment and influence the nutrition and quality of plants; there are also significant impacts of soil types on soil microbial communities. Research on the coupling effects between the rates of nitrogen fertilizer and the soil types on soil microbial metabolic activities under field conditions are currently lacking. In this study, we...
Soil in western Jilin, China has the properties of a saline soil, seasonal frozen soil, and a dispersive soil, in which the freezing process can induce many engineering and environmental problems, including soil secondary salinization and frost heave. During the freezing process, water, heat, stress, and even solute interact with each other. Water migration plays an important role in this process...
Thallium (Tl) is a typical trace metal of extreme high toxicity. As a concomitant element, Tl is widely found in various sulfide minerals and K-containing rock minerals. The outburst of Tl pollution in drinking water sources of the northern branch of the Pearl River in China as reported in 2010 has greatly aroused public concerns about Tl pollution in China. Apart from typical sources of Tl pollution...
Chongming Island is located in the lower Yangtze Estuary in China. Due to the Leachate from a refuse landfill and the hydrodynamics of the Yangtze Estuary, the groundwater environment is particularly complicated on Chongming Island. Field observations were carried out around the landfill disposal site. The groundwater table, temperature, pH, salinity, and dissolved oxygen were measured in the field...
Agricultural management practices play an important role in soil structure and fertility. However, there is a lack of knowledge on the effects of long-term fertilization on aggregate structure in the Loess Plateau region in China. This study was devoted to examining the responses of soil aggregate stability and associated structure to fertilizers over 19 years under a soybean (Glycine max L.)-corn...
Degradation of shrub meadows and reclamation of alpine meadows may heavily affect the soil sink for atmospheric methane (CH₄), but this is poorly understood. Therefore, in situ measurements of atmospheric CH₄ consumption were conducted in four landuse types: natural alpine meadow (NM), Elymus nutans pasture (EP), herbaceous meadow in shrub (HS), and a P. fruticosa shrub meadow (PS) within two years...
Little is known about soil thallium contamination near tungsten (W) mines. This study investigated thallium, arsenic, and mercury contents and enrichment in agricultural soils near the world’s largest and longestoperating W mine in China. Results show that the long-term W mining significantly elevated Tl from 0.77 to 1.61 mg·kg⁻¹ and As from 7.54 to 22.64 mg·kg⁻¹, with enrichment factors of 2.0 (1...
