About 89% of this grassland C is stored in the soil and is affected by management activities but the effects of these management activities on C storage under different climate settings are not known. In this study, we synthesized the effects of fertilizer (nitrogen and phosphorus) application, liming and grazing regime on the stock of SOC in global grasslands, under different site specific climatic settings using a meta-analysis of 341 datasets. We found an overall significant reduction (-8.5%) in the stock of SOC in global managed grasslands, mainly attributable to grazing (-15.0%), and only partially attenuated by fertilizer addition (+6.7%) and liming (+5.8%), indicating that management to improve biomass production does not contribute sufficient organic matter to replace that lost by direct removal by animals. Management activities had the greatest effect in the tropics (-22.4%) due primarily to heavy grazing, and the least effect in the temperate zone (-4.5%). The negative management effect reduced significantly with increasing mean annual temperature and mean annual precipitation in the temperate zone, suggesting that temperate grassland soils are potential C sinks in the face of climate change. For a sustainable management of grasslands that will provide adequate forage for livestock and mitigate climate change through C sequestration, we recommend that future tropical grassland management policies should focus on reducing the intensity of grazing. Also, to verify our findings for temperate grasslands and to better inform land management policy, future research should focus on the impacts of the projected climate change on net greenhouse gas exchange and potential climate feedbacks.", "keywords": ["2.

However, the agricultural sector is still an important N source to the environment, and projections indicate relatively small emission reductions in the coming years. The four Nordic countries have different priorities and strategies regarding agricultural N flows and mitigation measures, and therefore they are facing different challenges and barriers. In Norway farm subsidies are used to encourage measures, but these are mainly focused on phosphorus (P). In contrast, Denmark targets N and uses control regulations to reduce losses. In Sweden and Finland, both voluntary actions combined with subsidies help to mitigate both N and P. The aim of this study was to compare the present situation pertaining to agricultural N in the Nordic countries as well as to provide recommendations for policy instruments to achieve cost effective abatement of reactive N from agriculture in the Nordic countries, and to provide guidance to other countries. To further reduce N losses from agriculture, the four countries will have to continue to take different routes. In particular, some countries will need new actions if 2020 and 2030 National Emissions Ceilings Directive (NECD) targets are to be met. Many options are possible, including voluntary action, regulation, taxation and subsidies, but the difficulty is finding the right balance between these policy options for each country. The governments in the Nordic countries should put more attention to the NECD and consult with relevant stakeholders, researchers and farmer's associations on which measures to prioritize to achieve these goals on time. It is important to pick remaining low hanging fruits through use of the most cost effective mitigation measures. We suggest that N application rate and its timing should be in accordance with the crop need and carrying capacity of environmental recipients. Also, the choice of application technology can further reduce the risk of N losses into air and waters. This may require more region-specific solutions and knowledge-based support with tailored information in combination with further targeted subsidies or regulations.", "keywords": ["Denmark", "ta1172", "Ammonia emissions", "reactive nitrogen", "nitrogen management", "7.

In this study, we investigated at laboratory-scale the effect of digestate aeration on the distribution of Al, As, Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, Mn, Mo, Ni, Pb, Sb, Se and W using the diffusive gradients in thin films technique (DGT)-based fractionation. For this purpose, experiments were performed to assess the variation in distribution between the labile, soluble and particulate fractions over time in digested sewage sludge during passive and forced aeration. Results showed that aeration promoted a dissolution of Al, As, Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, Mn, Mo and Pb, suggesting a possible increase in their mobility that may likely occur during storage in open tanks or handling before land spreading.

To assess the risk and benefits arising from livestock production, transparent and robust indicators are required, such as those offered by life cycle assessment. A central question in such approaches is how environmental burden is allocated to livestock products and to manure that is re-used for agricultural production. To incentivize sustainable use of manure, it should be considered as a co-product as long as it is not disposed of, or wasted, or applied in excess of crop nutrient needs, in which case it should be treated as a waste. This paper proposes a theoretical approach to define nutrient requirements based on nutrient response curves to economic and physical optima and a pragmatic approach based on crop nutrient yield adjusted for nutrient losses to atmosphere and water. Allocation of environmental burden to manure and other livestock products is then based on the nutrient value from manure for crop production using the price of fertilizer nutrients.

Biochars derived from sewage sludge digestate and the organic fraction of municipal solid waste digestate were separately modified with 2\u202fM KOH or 10% H2O2 followed by semi-continuous or continuous washing with ultrapure water using batch or a column reactor, respectively. The results showed that the Pb adsorption capacity could be enhanced by chemical treatment of sludge-based biochar. Indeed, for municipal solid waste biochar, the Pb maximum sorption capacity was improved from 73 mg g-1 for unmodified biochar to 90 mg g-1 and 106 mg g-1 after H2O2 and KOH treatment, respectively. In the case of sewage sludge biochar, it increased from 6.5 mg g-1 (unmodified biochar) to 25 mg g-1 for H2O2 treatment. The sorption capacity was not determined after KOH treatment, since the Langmuir model did not fit the experimental data. The study also highlights that insufficient washing after KOH treatment can strongly hinder Pb sorption due to the release of organic matter from the modified biochar. This organic matter may interact in solution with Pb, resulting in an inhibition of its sorption onto the biochar surface. Continuous column-washing of modified biochars was able to correct this issue, highlighting the importance of implementing a proper treated biochar washing procedure.", "keywords": ["Sewage", "[SDE.IE]Environmental Sciences/Environmental Engineering", "0211 other engineering and technologies", "Hydrogen Peroxide", "02 engineering and technology", "01 natural sciences", "6.

However, agricultural land-use and physical changes made to improve crop productivity and yield have resulted in modified hydrology and displaced natural vegetation. The modification to the hydrology and natural vegetation have affected the biodiversity and many ecosystem functions provided by riparian zones. Here we review the literature to provide state-of-the-art recommendations for riparian zones in agricultural landscapes. We analysed all available publications since 1984 that have quantified services provided by riparian zones and use this information to recommend minimum buffer widths. We also analysed publications that gave buffer width recommendations to sustain different groups of organisms. We found that drainage size matters for nutrient and sediment removal, but also that a 3\u202fm wide buffer zone acts as a basic nutrient filter. However, to maintain a high floral diversity, a 24\u202fm buffer zone is required, while a 144\u202fm buffer is needed to preserve bird diversity. Based on the analysis, we developed the concept of 'Ecologically Functional Riparian Zones' (ERZ) and provide a step-by-step framework that managers can use to balance agricultural needs and environmental protection of waterways from negative impacts. By applying ERZ in already existing agricultural areas, we can better meet small targets and move towards the long-term goal of achieving a more functional land management and better environmental status of waterways.", "keywords": ["Riparian zone", "river", "nutrient uptake", "hydrology", "Review", "water quality", "01 natural sciences", "Ecological functional riparian zones", "waterway transport", "freshwater environment", "biodiversity", "agriculture", "2.

The objective of this study was to identify the right location along a ditch to mitigate P losses on an intensive dairy farm. High spatial resolution grab samples for water quality, along with sediment and bankside samples, were collected along an open ditch network to characterise the P dynamics within the ditch.

Other pressures include climate change effects and the increasing number of semi-arid regions. The present challenges are therefore the maintenance of high production rates with fewer resources, especially in regions where water is becoming less accessible. In this study, we have tested the effect of sub-surface irrigation and silicon fertilization in maize growth with and without water limitation. These solutions have been suggested as effective in drought conditions but an overall study of their effects on the soil water balance and root length density is lacking. We have conducted a pot experiment with maize for 101 days where measurements in soil water content and root length were taken. Also, Hydrus 2-D was used to simulate the root water uptake and calculate the water balance. Results show that both sub-surface irrigation and silicon fertilization increase the root system by 21% and 34% respectively in water stress situation. Also, in the case of no water stress, silicon fertilization still induces an increase of 11% in the root development, showing that this solution has positive effects even when the crop is not hydrologically limited. Indeed the root water uptake was higher for the silicon treatment when no water limitation was present (71.6\u00a0L), compared to the sub-surface irrigation (62.5\u00a0L) and the control (62.3\u00a0L). While sub-surface irrigation generally decreased evaporation, the silicon treatment lowered drainage by promoting a better and more efficient root water uptake.", "keywords": ["0106 biological sciences", "2.

Carbon response functions simulating the development of regional soil organic carbon (SOC) stocks until 2100 are used to couple established indicator-based SFA methodology with two climate and three land use scenarios, i.e. land sparing (LSP), land sharing (LSH), and balanced land use (LBA). Results reveal a dominant impact of land use scenarios on soil functions compared to the impact from climate scenarios and highlight the close link between SOC development and the quality of investigated soil functions, i.e. soil functionality. The soil habitat and soil carbon sequestration functions on investigated agricultural land are positively affected by maintenance of grassland under LSH (20% of the case-study region), where SOC stocks show a steady and continuous increase. By 2100 however, total regional SOC stocks are higher under LSP compared to LSH or LBA, due to extensive afforestation. The presented approach may improve integrative decision-making in land use planning processes. It bridges superordinate goals of sustainable development, such as climate change mitigation, with land use actions taken at local or regional scales.

Phytoremediation presents an opportunity to transfer HMs from environmental matrices into plants, making it easy to translocate from one place to another. The ornate features of HMs' phytoremediation are biophilia and carbon neutrality, compared to the physical and chemical remediation methods. Some recent studies related to LCA also support that phytoremediation is technically more sustainable than competing technologies. However, one major post-application challenge associated with HMs phytoremediation is properly managing HMs contaminated biomass generated. Such a yield presents the problem of reintroducing HMs into the environment due to natural decomposition and release of plant sap from the harvested biomass. The transportation of high yields can also make phytoremediation economically inviable. This review presents the design of a sustainable phytoremediation strategy using an ever-evolving life cycle assessment tool. This review also discusses possible post-phytoremediation biomass management strategies for the HMs contaminated biomass management. These strategies include composting, leachate compaction, gasification, pyrolysis, torrefaction, and metal recovery.

Potential effectiveness of mitigation measures and possible confounding factors are often assessed using studies conducted in headwater catchments. However, success is often evaluated based on trends in river mouth water chemistry. It is not clear how transferrable insights from headwater catchments are to larger rivers. Here, relationships between P and suspended solids (SS) identified in small agricultural headwater catchments were applied to 30 larger, mixed land use catchments draining into M\u00e4laren, a Swedish great lake. Relationships identified in headwater streams between SS concentration, catchment agricultural land percentage and arable land clay content were corroborated for the larger catchments (R2\u00a0=\u00a00.59, p-value<0.001. The same was true for connections between SS and particulate P (R2\u00a0=\u00a00.74, p-value<0.001). This study highlights the importance of agricultural land, clay content and SS for P transport, on both smaller headwater as well as larger catchment scales, supporting the use of headwater findings on larger, management relevant scales. Consequently, these relationships should be used to target mitigation measures to reduce SS and P losses. To explore the effectiveness of mitigation measures on water quality, we assessed long-term (20 year) trends in tributary water quality and compared these trends to the amount of mitigation measures implemented in the catchment. Overall improving trends were detected using regional Mann Kendall tests, but few decreasing trends in nutrient concentrations were found for individual sites using Generalized Additive Models (GAM). The lack of significant trends and identifiable connections to amount of mitigation measures implemented could be due to several reasons, e.g. insufficient time for recently implemented measures to have an effect, ongoing release of legacy P as well as low areal coverage and poor spatial placement of implemented measures. In addition, trend detection requires large amounts of data and the results should be carefully interpreted and communicated.", "keywords": ["Environmental Sciences (social aspects to be 507)", "Agriculture", "Phosphorus", "Oceanography", " Hydrology", " Water Resources", "15.

A multilevel sampling probe was designed to collect the soil gas at four different depths, namely, 7 cm, 15 cm, 30 cm and 50 cm. Methane concentrations were higher during the rice season and decreased with depth, while lower during the wheat season and increased with depth. Compared to CK, mean methane concentration was increased by 42%, 57% and 71% under the FACE, FACE+T and T treatments, respectively, at the 7 cm depth during the rice season (p<0.05). Mean methane diffusion effluxes to the 7 cm depth were positive in the rice season and negative in the wheat season, resulting in the paddy field being a source and weak sink, respectively. Moreover, mean methane diffusion effluxes in the rice season were 0.94, 1.19 and 1.42 mg C/(m2\u00b7hr) in the FACE, FACE+T and T treatments, respectively, being clearly higher than that in the CK.

Due to the lack of understanding of the effects of cavitation treatment, a laboratory device was built to investigate the mechanisms of cavitation generation and the effects of various geometric features such as the diameter, number, and shape of the rotor pins and the gap size between the rotor and stator pins. Using simultaneously measured pressure fluctuations and high-speed visualisation, a method was developed to quantify the extent of cavitation, and it was found that throttling the high-pressure side had an order- of- magnitude smaller effect on cavitation than the number of rotor pins. It was found that a smaller number of rotor pins with large downstream area produced the most aggressive cavitation conditions.

Indicators are assessed using target and/or threshold values, which define achievable levels of the indicators or functions. However, defining robust targets and thresholds is not a trivial task, as they should account for soil, climate, land-use, management, and history, among others.

Thus, soils and plants were sampled from a mining valley in NW Madrid (Spain), and total and extractable heavy metals were analysed. Soils affected by mining activities presented total Cd, Cu and Zn concentrations above toxic thresholds. The percentage of extractable element was highest for Cd and lowest for Cu. A highly significant correlation was observed between the total and extractable concentrations of metals in soils, indicating that, among the factors studied, total metals concentration is the most relevant for heavy metals extractability in these soils. (NH(4))(2)SO(4)-extractable metal concentrations in soils are correlated better with metal concentrations in several plant species than total metals in soils, and thus can be used as a suitable and robust method for the estimation of the phytoavailable fraction present in soils. Twenty-five vascular plant species (3 ferns and 22 flowering plants) were analysed, in order to identify exceptional characteristics that would be interesting for soil phytoremediation and/or reclamation. High Cd and Zn concentrations have been found in the aerial parts of Hypericum perforatum (Cd), Salix atrocinerea (Cd, Zn) and Digitalis thapsi (Cd, Zn).

The study proposes a more comprehensive model for studying fluid transients in pipelines as compared to previous works, which take into account either FSI or viscoelasticity. To verify the proposed mathematical model and its numerical solutions, the following problems are investigated: axial vibration of a viscoelastic bar subjected to a step uniaxial loading, FSI in an elastic pipe, and hydraulic transients in a pressurised polyethylene pipe without FSI. The results of each case are checked with available exact and experimental results. Then, to study the simultaneous effects of FSI and viscoelasticity, which is the new element of the present research, one problem is solved by the two different numerical approaches.

Microorganisms form complex communities characterized by a myriad of interspecies interactions, yet it remains unclear to what extent non-target microorganisms are indirectly affected by fungicides through biotic interactions with sensitive taxa. To quantify such indirect effects, we fragmented a soil microbial community by filtration to alter biotic interactions and compared the effect of the fungicide hymexazol between fractions in soil microcosms. We postulated that OTUs which are indirectly affected would exhibit a different response to the fungicide across the fragmented communities. We found that hymexazol primarily affected bacterial and fungal communities through indirect effects, which were responsible for more than 75% of the shifts in relative abundance of the dominant microbial OTUs after exposure to an agronomic dose of hymexazol. However, these indirect effects decreased for the bacterial community when hymexazol doses increased. Our results also suggest that N-cycling processes such as ammonia oxidation can be impacted indirectly by fungicide application. This work sheds light on the indirect impact of fungicide exposure on soil microorganisms through biotic interactions, which underscores the need for higher-tier risk assessment. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPLICATION: In this study, we used a novel approach based on the fragmentation of the soil microbial community to determine to which extent fungicide application could indirectly affect fungi and bacteria through biotic interactions. To assess off-target effects of fungicide on soil microorganisms, we selected hymexazol, which is used worldwide to control a variety of fungal plant pathogens, and exposed arable soil to the recommended field rate, as well as to higher rates. Our findings show that at least 75% of hymexazol-impacted microbial OTUs were indirectly affected, therefore emphasizing the importance of tiered risk assessment.", "keywords": ["2.

Polluted soil samples were characterized in physico-chemical terms and their heavy metal contents determined by comparison with control, unpolluted samples. The results revealed a marked effect of waste discharges on the soils in the area, which have low contents in heavy metals under normal environmental conditions. In fact, the studied soils were found to contain substantial amounts of total and DTPA-extractable Cd, Cu, Pb and Zn. Based on the relationship of the redox potential with the DTPA-extractable Cd, Cu, Pb, and Zn contents of the soils, strongly reductive conditions raised the total contents in these elements by effect of their remaining in the soils as precipitated sulphides. Such contents, however, decreased as oxidative conditions gradually prevailed. The contents in DTPA-extractable metals increased with increasing Eh through the release of the metals in ionic form to the soil solution under oxidative conditions. The contents in heavy metals concentrating in the polluted soils were several times higher than those in the control soils (viz. 2 vs. 6 for Cd, 4 vs. 6 for Cu, 4 vs. 20 for Pb, and 2 vs. 15 for Zn, all in mgkg(-1)). This can be expected to influence the amounts of available heavy metals present in the soils, and hence the environmental quality of the area, in the near future. Based on its geoaccumulation index (Class >/=3 for Cd and Cu, and 1-4 for Pb and Zn), the Ramallosa marsh is highly polluted with Cd and moderately to highly polluted with Cu, Pb and Zn. The enrichment factors obtained confirm that the salt marsh is highly polluted (especially with Cd) as the primary result of anthropic activity.", "keywords": ["Industrial Waste", "Reproducibility of Results", "Agriculture", "Pentetic Acid", "15.

More in general, hypo-elastic materials are only defined incrementally and comprise Cauchy-elasticity. Infringement of the hyper-elastic 'dogma' is so far unattempted and normally believed to be impossible, as it apparently violates thermodynamics, because energy may be produced in closed strain cycles. Contrary to this belief, we show that non-hyper-elastic behavior is possible and we indicate the way to a practical realization of this new concept. In particular, a design paradigm is established for artificial materials where follower forces, so far ignored in homogenization schemes, are introduced as loads prestressing an elastic two-dimensional grid made up of linear elastic rods (reacting to elongation, flexure and shear). A rigorous application of Floquet-Bloch wave asymptotics yields an unsymmetric acoustic tensor governing the  textit{incremental} dynamics of the effective material. The latter is therefore the incremental response of a hypo-elastic solid, which does not follow from a strain potential and thus does not belong to hyper-elasticity. Through the externally applied follower forces (which could be originated via interaction with a fluid, or gas, or by application of Coulomb friction, or non-holonomic constraints), the artificial material may adsorb/release energy from/to the environment and therefore produce energy in a closed strain loop, without violating any rule of thermodynamics. The solid is also shown to display flutter, a material instability corresponding to a Hopf bifurcation, which was advocated as possible in plastic solids, but never experimentally found and so far believed to be impossible in elasticity.", "keywords": ["0103 physical sciences", "Bloch waves; Cauchy-elasticity; Dynamic homogenization; Follower forces; Hypo-elasticity", "Dynamic homogenization", "Classical Physics (physics.class-ph)", "FOS: Physical sciences", "Cauchy-elasticity", "Physics - Classical Physics", "Hypo-elasticity", "Follower forces", "Bloch waves", "01 natural sciences"]}, "links": [{"href": "https://iris.unitn.it/bitstream/11572/341172/8/1-s2.0-S0022509621002969-main.pdf"}, {"href": "https://iris.unitn.it/bitstream/11572/341172/11/2107.12951R.pdf"}, {"href": "https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jmps.2021.104665"}, {"rel": "related", "href": "https://repository.soilwise-he.eu/cat/collections/metadata:main/items/Journal%20of%20the%20Mechanics%20and%20Physics%20of%20Solids", "name": "related record", "description": "related record", "type": "application/json"}, {"rel": "self", "type": "application/geo+json", "title": "10.1016/j.jmps.2021.104665", "name": "item", "description": "10.1016/j.jmps.2021.104665", "href": "https://repository.soilwise-he.eu/cat/collections/metadata:main/items/10.1016/j.jmps.2021.104665"}, {"rel": "collection", "type": "application/json", "title": "Collection", "name": "collection", "description": "Collection", "href": "https://repository.soilwise-he.eu/cat/collections/metadata:main"}], "time": {"date": "2022-01-01T00:00:00Z"}}, {"id": "10.1016/j.jhazmat.2014.06.074", "type": "Feature", "geometry": null, "properties": {"updated": "2026-04-03T16:17:15Z", "type": "Journal Article", "created": "2014-07-14", "title": "Molecular Characterization Of Biochars And Their Influence On Microbiological Properties Of Soil", "description": "The tentative connection between the biochar surface chemical properties and their influence on microbially mediated mineralization of C, N, and S with the help of enzymes is not well established.

For example, in treatments with biodegradable plastics, bacteria genera like Bacillus and Variovorax were present in higher relative abundances and volatile compounds like dodecanal were exclusively produced in treatment with biodegradable microplastics. Furthermore, significant differences in soil pH, electrical conductivity and C:N ratio were observed across treatments. Our study provides evidence for both biotic and abiotic impacts of plastic residues on the soil-plant system, suggesting the urgent need for more research examining their environmental impacts on agroecosystems.", "keywords": ["2.

We used uniformly ring-14C-labelled TBBPA to investigate the bioaccumulation kinetics, metabolites distribution, and subsequent detoxification strategy of TBBPA in the geophagous earthworm Metaphire guillelmi in soil. The modeling of bioaccumulation kinetics showed a higher biota-soil-accumulation-factor of total 14C than that of the parent compound TBBPA, indicating that most of the ingested TBBPA was transformed into metabolites or sequestered as bound residues in the earthworms. Bound-residue formation in the digestive tract may hinder the accumulation of TBBPA in other parts of the body. Nonetheless, via the circulatory system, TBBPA was transferred to other tissues, especially the clitellum region, where sensitive organs are located. In the clitellum region, TBBPA was quickly transformed to less toxic dimethyl TBBPA ether and rapidly depurated through feces. We conclude that the detoxification of TBBPA in M. guillelmi occurred via bound-residue formation in the digestive tract as well as the generation and depuration of O-methylation metabolites.

We performed long-term batch experiments by exposing synthetic GR sulfate (GRso(4)) to As-free and As-spiked (6 mg L-1) natural groundwater at both 25 and 4 C. At 25 C, GRso4 was metastable in As-free groundwater and transformed to GlIcos, and then fully to magnetite within 120 days; however, GRso(4) stability increased 7-fold by lowering the temperature to 4 degrees C, and 8-fold by adding As to the groundwater at 25 degrees C. Highest GRso4 stability was observed when As was added to the groundwater at 4 C. This stabilizing effect is explained by GR solubility being lowered by adsorbed As and/or lower temperatures, inhibiting partial GR dissolution required for transformation to GlIcos, and ultimately to magnetite. Despite these mineral transformations, all added As was removed from As-spiked samples within 120 days at 25 C, while uptake was 2 times slower at 4 degrees C.

Desert dust is an important atmospheric aerosol that affects the Earth's climate, biogeochemistry, and air quality. However, current Earth system models (ESMs) struggle to accurately capture the impact of dust on the Earth's climate and ecosystems, in part because these models lack several essential aeolian processes that couple dust with climate and land surface processes. In this study, we address this issue by implementing several new parameterizations of aeolian processes detailed in our companion paper in the Community Earth System Model version 2 (CESM2). These processes include (1)\u00a0incorporating a simplified soil particle size representation to calculate the dust emission threshold friction velocity, (2)\u00a0accounting for the drag partition effect of rocks and vegetation in reducing wind stress on erodible soils, (3)\u00a0accounting for the intermittency of dust emissions due to unresolved turbulent wind fluctuations, and (4)\u00a0correcting the spatial variability of simulated dust emissions from native to higher spatial resolutions on spatiotemporal dust variability. Our results show that the modified dust emission scheme significantly reduces the model bias against observations compared with the default scheme and improves the correlation against observations of multiple key dust variables such as dust aerosol optical depth (DAOD), surface particulate matter (PM) concentration, and deposition flux. Our scheme's dust also correlates strongly with various meteorological and land surface variables, implying higher sensitivity of dust to future climate change than other schemes' dust. These findings highlight the importance of including additional aeolian processes for improving the performance of ESM aerosol simulations and potentially enhancing model assessments of how dust impacts climate and ecosystem changes.                     </p></article>", "keywords": ["Earth sciences", "Chemistry", "info:eu-repo/classification/ddc/550", "550", "ddc:550", "13.

It could decompose many kinds of antibiotics and was not inhibited by the coexisting organics in wastewater. The antibacterial activities of five kinds of antibiotics, which were eliminated with UV irradiation, exhibited a significantly positive correlation with their parent compound concentrations. The photodecomposition of the main functional groups in antibiotics contributed to the elimination of antibacterial activity. Defluorination was the main pathway to eliminate the antibacterial activity of antibiotics containing a fluorine substituent (e.g., florfenicol and ofloxacin), while the photoinduced opening of the \u03b2-lactam ring was the most efficient route to eliminate the antibacterial activity of \u03b2-lactam antibiotics (e.g. cefalexin, amoxicillin and ampicillin).
