Bimonthly measurements in 2002-2004 showed that the daily fluxes of N2O, CH4 and CO2 reacted mainly to elevated O3, while the fluxes of CO2 also responded to elevated CO2. However, the fluxes did not show any marked response when elevated O3 and CO2 were combined. N2O and CO2 emissions were best explained by soil water content and air and soil temperatures, and they were not clearly associated with potential nitrification and denitrification.

A meta-analysis", "description": "Abstract   Crop rotation has been widely used to mitigate weed, insect, and pathogen pressure, as well as to increase plant diversity. However, the magnitude of and variability in crop yield with rotation in China remain uncertain. We conducted a meta-analysis on 45 studies with 214 comparisons to examine the effects of crop rotation on yield and to explore the importance of environmental factors and field management in determining yield variability. Rotation increased crop yields by 20% on average when compared with continuous monoculture practices. Effects of rotation on crop yield were more pronounced in southwestern China (+38%) than in eastern China (+10%) and were notably less reliable and generally smaller in regions with moderate annual rainfall (400\u2013550\u202fmm). Rotation had greater yield benefits in soils with coarse or medium soil textures, intermediate levels of initial soil organic carbon (7\u201310\u202fg kg\u22121), and lower total nitrogen (\u2264 1.2\u202fg kg\u22121). Effect of rotation on crop yield also depends on the type of previously cultivated crops (hereinafter, pre-crops), ranging from 2% for Triticeae pre-crops to 27% for grain leguminous pre-crops. Yield increase under legume-based rotations was 14% higher than that without legumes. The mean yield response of the crop subsequent to rotation ranged from 6% (cereals, except for Triticeae crops) to 34% (root crops). The legacy benefit of rotation on subsequent crop yield persisted for 2\u20133 years, decreasing from +31% in the second year to +8% in the third year. Effect of rotation on crop yield under conventional tillage was greater than that under conservation tillage. The yield benefit of rotation on subsequent crops was much higher with a lower nitrogen fertilization rate (\u2264 120\u202fkg ha\u22121), indicating that fertilization can be reduced and an acceptable yield maintained with crop rotation. In conclusion, crop rotation largely increases agricultural production without extra inputs, although its design may need to consider diverse climates, soils, crops, and management practices to maximize its agronomic and environmental benefits.", "keywords": ["0106 biological sciences", "2.

The crop-water production function (CWPF) is widely used to quantitatively describe relationships between crop water deficit and yield, and evaluate the effects of different irrigation strategies in agro-hydrological models. In order to reasonably and reliably estimate crop yield and optimize irrigation scheduling, a novel CWPF was proposed by combining the plant water deficit index (PWDI), estimated based on root-weighted soil water availability, with a daily water sensitivity index derived from a sigmoidal cumulative function. Parameterized using data from a two-year winter wheat field lysimetric experiment conducted in the North China Plain and from a previously published two-year spring maize field drip irrigation experiment in Inner Mongolia, China, the CWPFs provided reasonable estimation of different crop yields with different water stress response characteristics under different field environments. Through coupling the genetic algorithm with the integrated simulations of soil water dynamics, PWDI and CWPF in the soil-wheat system, an optimization procedure was developed to determine PWDI threshold combinations to timely trigger irrigation according to pre-designed crop water deficit status. Crop yield and water use efficiency (WUE) of winter wheat were estimated and compared under different optimized constant and variable PWDI threshold combinations. In addition, the effects of climate change on the optimized variable PWDI threshold combinations were investigated using 38 years of historic meteorological data. The results showed that regulated deficit irrigation (RDI) with a variable threshold combination, in which the sensitivity characteristics to water deficit were considered for the crop at different growth stages, was superior to a constant threshold in enhancing crop yield and WUE. Irrespective of the number of irrigation events (1, 2, 3 or 4) during the growing season, the coefficients of variation (CV) of optimized PWDI thresholds for different combinations of irrigation sequence and events were not very large under the same kind of hydrological year (wet, normal or dry), with CV < 0.39 and a median of 0.21. When the mean (MN) of the optimized PWDI threshold combinations for different irrigation sequence and events was used to schedule RDI of winter wheat in terms of various hydrological years, up to 91% of the estimated relative yield was found to be higher than 90% of the corresponding maximum values. Therefore, the MN can be valuable in formulating rational irrigation management strategies of winter wheat to achieve relatively high yields with limited water under changing climatic conditions.

We studied whether and to what extent N(2)O emissions were influenced by the three most abundant PAHs in biochar: naphthalene, phenanthrene and pyrene. We hypothesised that biochars contaminated with PAHs would show a larger N(2)O mitigation capacity and that increasing PAH concentrations in biochar would lead to higher mitigation potentials. Our results demonstrate that the high-temperature biochar (550 \u00b0C) had a higher capacity to mitigate soil N(2)O emissions than the low-temperature biochar (350 \u00b0C). At low PAH concentrations, PAHs do not significantly contribute to the reductions in soil N(2)O emissions; while biochar stimulated soil N(2)O emissions when it was spiked with high concentrations of PAHs.

Carbon-rich soils are reactive porous materials, prone to smouldering combustion if the inert and moisture contents are low enough. An example of soil combustion happens in peatlands, where smouldering wildfires are common in both boreal and tropical regions. This work focuses on understanding soil ignition by self-heating, which is due to spontaneous exothermic reactions in the presence of oxygen under certain thermal conditions. We investigate the effect of soil inorganic content by creating under controlled conditions soil samples with inorganic content (IC) ranging from 3% to 86% of dry weight: we use sand as a surrogate of inorganic matter and peat as a surrogate of organic matter. This range is very wide and covers all IC values of known carbon-rich soils on Earth. The experimental results show that self-heating ignition in different soil types is possible, even with the 86% inorganic content, but the tendency to ignite decreases quickly with increasing IC. We report a clear increase in ambient temperature required for ignition as the IC increases. Combining results from 39 thermostatically-controlled oven experiments, totalling 401\u00a0h of heating time, with the Frank-Kamenetskii theory of ignition, the lumped chemical kinetic and thermal parameters are determined. We then use these parameters to upscale the laboratory experiments to soil layers of different thicknesses for a range of ambient temperatures ranging from 0\u00a0\u00b0C to 40\u00a0\u00b0C. The analysis predicts the critical soil layer thicknesses in nature for self-ignition at various possible environmental temperatures. For example, at 40\u00a0\u00b0C a soil layer of 3% inorganic content can be ignited through self-heating if it is thicker than 8.8\u00a0m, but at 86% IC the layer has to be 1.8\u00a0km thick, which is impossible to find in nature. We estimate that the critical IC for a ambient temperature of 40\u00a0\u00b0C and soil thickness of 50\u00a0m is 68%. Because those are extreme values of temperature and thickness, no self-heating ignition of soil can be expected above the 68% threshold of inorganic content. This is the first in-depth experimental quantification of soil self-heating and shows that indeed it is possible that wildfires are initiated by self-heating in some soil types and conditions.", "keywords": ["Technology", "Engineering", " Civil", "550", "Materials Science", "PEAT", "0904 Chemical Engineering", "Materials Science", " Multidisciplinary", "MOISTURE", "Civil Engineering", "7.

The occurrence of five tetracycline ARGs (tetA, tetB, tetC, tetG and tetW), two sulfonamide ARGs (sul1 and sul2) and one genetic element (IntI1) was quantified. NPK application showed only slight or no impact on soil ARGs abundances compared with the control without fertilizer. Soil ARGs abundances could be increased by manure-NPK application but was related to manure dosage (2250-9000 kg ha(-1)). Principal component analysis (PCA) showed that the soil ARG profile of the treatment with 9000 kg ha(-1) manure separated clearly from the other treatments; the ARGs that contributed most to the discrimination of this treatment were tetA, tetG, tetW, sul1, sul2 and IntI1. Community level physiological profile (CLPP) analysis showed that increasing manure dosage from 4500 kg ha(-1) to 9000 kg ha(-1) induced a sharp increase in almost all of the detected ARGs but would not change the microbial community at large. However, 9000 kg ha(-1) manure application produced a decline in soil microbial activity.

Particularities of air pollution in this region include high O3 levels due to high air temperatures and solar radiation, the stability of air masses, and dominance of dry over wet nitrogen deposition. Moreover, the unique abiotic and biotic factors (e.g., climate, vegetation type, relevance of Saharan dust inputs) modulating the response of Mediterranean ecosystems at various spatiotemporal scales make it difficult to understand, and thus predict, the consequences of human activities that cause air pollution in the Mediterranean Basin. Therefore, there is an urgent need to implement coordinated research and experimental platforms along with wider environmental monitoring networks in the region. In particular, a robust deposition monitoring network in conjunction with modelling estimates is crucial, possibly including a set of common biomonitors (ideally cryptogams, an important component of the Mediterranean vegetation), to help refine pollutant deposition maps. Additionally, increased attention must be paid to functional diversity measures in future air pollution and climate change studies to establish the necessary link between biodiversity and the provision of ecosystem services in Mediterranean ecosystems. Through a coordinated effort, the Mediterranean scientific community can fill the above-mentioned gaps and reach a greater understanding of the mechanisms underlying the combined effects of air pollution and climate change in the Mediterranean Basin.", "keywords": ["air pollution; climate change; coordinated research networks; environmental monitoring; functional diversity; Mediterranean ecosystems; toxicology; pollution", "570", "Coordinated research networks", "550", "Nitrogen", "Climate", "Climate Change", "Air pollution", "Functional diversity", "01 natural sciences", "Air Pollution", "11.

Soil protists, a phylogenetically and functionally diverse group of eukaryotic, unicellular soil organisms, are major consumers of bacteria in soils and are potentially important vehicles for the delivery of microplastics into the soil food chain. Here we build a case for focusing research on soil protists by drawing on data from previous, older studies of phagocytosis in protist taxa, which have long made use of polystyrene latex beads (microspheres). Various soil-borne taxa, including ciliates, flagellates and amoebae take up microplastic beads in the size range of a few micrometers. This included filter feeders as well as amoebae which engulf their prey. Discrimination in microplastic particle uptake depended on species, physiological state as well as particle size.

Mulching with low-density polyethylene (LDPE) is widely practiced and the resulting macro- and microscopic plastic residues in agricultural soil have aroused concerns for years. Over the past decades, a variety of biodegradable (Bio) plastics have been developed in the hope of reducing plastic contamination of the terrestrial ecosystem. However, the impact of these Bio plastics in agroecosystems have not been sufficiently studied. Therefore, we investigated the impact of macro (around 5\u00a0mm) and micro (<1\u00a0mm) sized plastic debris from LDPE and one type of starch-based Bio mulch film on soil physicochemical and hydrological properties. We used environmentally relevant concentrations of plastics, ranging from 0 to 2% (w/w), identified by field studies and literature review. We studied the effects of the plastic residue on a sandy soil for one month in a laboratory experiment. The bulk density, porosity, saturated hydraulic conductivity, field capacity and soil water repellency were altered significantly in the presence of the four kinds of plastic debris, while pH, electrical conductivity and aggregate stability were not substantially affected. Overall, our research provides clear experimental evidence that microplastics affect soil properties. The type, size and content of plastic debris as well as the interactions between these three factors played complex roles in the variations of the measured soil parameters. Living in a plastic era, it is crucial to conduct further interdisciplinary studies in order to have a comprehensive understanding of plastic debris in soil and agroecosystems.", "keywords": ["2.

This study investigated the effects of the commonly used herbicide glyphosate and micrometre-sized plastic debris, referred as microplastics, on glyphosate decay and soil microbial activities in Chinese loess soil by a microcosm experiment over 30 days incubation. Results showed that glyphosate decay was gradual and followed a single first-order decay kinetics model. In different treatments (with/without microplastic addition), glyphosate showed similar half-lives (32.8 days). The soil content of aminomethylphosphonic acid (AMPA), the main metabolite of glyphosate, steadily increased without reaching plateau and declining phases throughout the experiment. Soil microbial respiration significantly changed throughout the entirety of the experiment, particularly in the treatments with higher microplastic addition. The dynamics of soil \u03b2-glucosidase, urease and phosphatase varied, especially in the treatments with high microplastic addition. Particles that were considerably smaller than the initially added microplastic particles were observed after 30 days incubation.

However, increased atmospheric N deposition over recent decades has dramatically altered nutrient cycles in many eastern forests. Given the variability of ecosystem responses to N deposition and the sensitivity of herbaceous layer vegetation to edaphic and microenvironmental conditions, changes in nutrient dynamics could have important implications for forest diversity and productivity. To better understand variations in soil N relative to understory dynamics, we sampled herbaceous layer composition and diversity across topographic gradients in managed (10-year-old aggrading) and mature (>125 years) mixed-oak stands in southeastern Ohio. Vegetation was sampled in spring and summer to capture variations in vernal and late season herb communities. Edaphic and microenvironmental conditions were characterized during these same periods, including analyses of upper mineral soil samples for total C, N, and C/N ratio. Aggrading stands showed significantly lower soil N than mature forest stands (spring = 0.145% versus 0.165%; summer = 0.146% versus 0.197%; P < 0.001). Topography influenced soil N, with greater availability on lower and north-facing slopes (P < 0.05). Across all stands, C/N was strongly correlated with herb layer composition (spring r = 0.606; summer r = 0.449) and, in mature stands, was a strong predictor of understory richness (linear regression; r 2 = 0.634; P < 0.001), particularly on poorer sites. These results emphasize that changes in soil and vegetation with increased N deposition are likely to be site-specific, even within relatively uniform systems. Understory diversity patterns on less fertile sites or in more mature forests, those systems exhibiting strongest correlations with soil C/N ratios, appear most likely to be affected, whereas edaphic limitations in vigorously growing, aggrading vegetation may be less impacted. Because herbaceous layer interactions are tightly linked to ecosystem-level nutrient dynamics and to woody seedling success, these influences have the potential to significantly alter overstory recruitment patterns and broader ecosystem responses to N deposition. # 2005 Elsevier B.V.

The soil columns were sampled at three depths weekly for 28 days and leachate collected from the bottom. Total Ag measurements showed more displacement of Ag to deeper soil layers in the columns with earthworms. The application of rain only did not significantly affect Ag transport in the soil. No Ag was detected in column leachates. X-ray tomography showed that changes in macro porosity and pore size distribution as a result of bioturbation were not different between columns with and without Ag2S-NPs. Earthworm activity was therefore not affected by Ag2S-NPs at the used exposure concentration. Ag concentrations along the columns and the earthworm density allowed the calculation of the bioturbation rate.

It is known, however, that this is not always the case as ENMs are often embedded into solid matrices during manufacturing and can undergo physical or chemical transformations during their life cycle, e.g. upon release to wastewater. In this work, we present a method for systematically assessing the forms in which nano-Ag and nano-TiO2 flow through their life cycle (i.e. production, manufacturing, use and disposal) to their points of release to air, soil and surface water. Input data on the forms of released ENMs were probability distributions based on peer-reviewed literature. Release data were incorporated into a probabilistic material flow analysis model to quantify the proportions of ENMs in product-embedded, matrix-embedded, pristine, transformed and dissolved forms in all technical and environmental compartments into which they flow, at the European scale. Releases of nano-Ag to surface water and soil were modelled to occur primarily in transformed forms (Q25 and Q75 of 34-58% and 78-86%, respectively, with means of 53% and 82%), while releases to air were mostly in pristine and matrix-embedded forms (38-46% and 36-44%, respectively, with means of 42% and 40%).

Most of NERs were localized in the humin fraction and presented as sequestrated forms. Under oxic conditions, the present of Limnodrilus significantly increased the proportion of NERs in sediment. Limnodrilus accumulated 34.2% of initial radioactivity. Under anoxic conditions, the addition of iron (\u2162) [Fe(III)], sulfate and nitrate reduced the environmental risk of BDE-47 with the increase of NERs formation, while manganese (IV) [Mn(IV)] addition had no effect on the formation of NERs. The present of Limnodrilus and electron acceptors promoted the production of metabolites. Meanwhile, BDE-47 changed the microbial community structure of sediments. These findings indicated that the environmental behavior and risk of BDE-47 was affected by benthos and electron acceptors, and the high proportion of sequestrated NERs posed high bioactivity and toxic threat to ecological environment.", "keywords": ["Geologic Sediments", "13.

Tetracycline and sulfonamide antibiotics were ubiquitous in all sites, and they were detected at low ng L-1 concentrations, except for doxycycline, that was present at \u03bcg L-1 in one location. DOM analysis revealed that most molecular formulas were CHO compounds (49 %-68\u00a0%), with a remarkable percentage containing nitrogen and sulphur (16 %-23\u00a0% and 11 %-24\u00a0%, respectively). Major DOM components were phenolic and highly unsaturated compounds (~90\u00a0%), typical for soil-derived organic matter, while approximately 11\u00a0% were unsaturated aliphatic, suggesting that springs may be susceptible to anthropogenic contamination sources. Comparing the DOM fingerprint among sites, the spring showing the most different profile was the one with surface water interaction and characterized by having lower CHO and higher CHOS formulas and aliphatic compounds. Correlations between antibiotics and DOM showed that tetracyclines positively correlate with unsaturated oxygen-rich substances, while sulfonamides relate with aliphatic and unsaturated oxygen-poor compounds. This indicates that the fate of different antibiotics will be controlled by the type of DOM present in groundwater.", "keywords": ["High-resolution mass spectrometry", "550", "Contaminants emergents en l'aigua", "Antibi\u00f2tics", "02 engineering and technology", "01 natural sciences", "630", "Soil", "Antibiotics", "Co-transport", "Groundwater -- Pollution", "Dissolved organic matter", "Groundwater", "0105 earth and related environmental sciences", "2.

In this study, the same sampling and analytical approach was applied during five different cruises to investigate MP covering a route from the East-Siberian Sea in the Arctic, through the Atlantic, and into the Antarctic Peninsula. A total of 121 subsurface water samples were collected using underway pump-through system on two different vessels. This approach allowed subsurface MP (100\u00a0\u03bcm-5\u00a0mm) to be evaluated in five regions of the World Ocean (Antarctic, Central Atlantic, North Atlantic, Barents Sea and Siberian Arctic) and to assess regional differences in MP characteristics. The average abundance of MP for whole studied area was 0.7\u00a0\u00b1\u00a00.6 items/m3 (ranging from 0 to 2.6 items/m3), with an equal average abundance for both fragments and fibers (0.34 items/m3). Although no statistical difference was found for MP abundance between the studied regions. Differences were found between the size, morphology, polymer types and weight concentrations. The Central Atlantic and Barents Sea appeared to have more MP in terms of weight concentration (7-7.5\u00a0\u03bcg/m3) than the North Atlantic and Siberian Arctic (0.6\u00a0\u03bcg/m3). A comparison of MP characteristics between the two Hemispheres appears to indicate that MP in the Northern Hemisphere mostly originate from terrestrial input, while offshore industries play an important role as a source of MP in the Southern Hemisphere. The waters of the Northern Hemisphere were found to be more polluted by fibers than those of the Southern Hemisphere. The results presented here suggest that fibers can be transported by air and water over long distances from the source, while distribution of fragments is limited mainly to the water mass where the source is located.", "keywords": ["550", "Arctic Regions", "Microplastics", "Microplastic", "Antarctic Regions", "Water", "Subsurface water", "01 natural sciences", "Global distribution", "Fibers", "Harmonization", "13.

Foliar application of solutions of selenite or selenate at 100 lg Se ml\ufffd1 resulted in a selenium concentration of up to 2 lg Se g\ufffd1 (dry mass) in the carrot root whereas the selenium concentration in the  controls was below the limit of detection at 0.045 lg Se g\ufffd1 (dry mass). Selenate-enriched carrot leaves accumulated as much as 80 lg Se g\ufffd1 (dry mass), while the selenite-enriched leaves contained approximately 50 lg Se g\ufffd1 (dry mass). The speciation analyses showed that inorganic selenium was present in both roots and leaves. The predominant metabolised organic forms of selenium in the roots were selenomethionine and c-glutamyl-selenomethyl-  selenocysteine, regardless of which of the inorganic species were used for foliar application.

Specifically, NNP111 was 14C-labeled to facilitate investigating its degradation, transformation, and non-extractable residue (NER) formation.
