In this study, the GHG emissions of various biofuel chains considered as relevant in large-scale production in Finland were calculated in accordance with the EU sustainability criteria. Special attention was paid to uncertainties and the sensitivities of certain parameters. According to the results, it is impossible in many cases to unambiguously conclude whether or not a biofuel chain passes the emission-saving limit provided by the EU. This may reduce the willingness to invest in biofuel production. Major sources of uncertainties and sensitivities are nitrous oxide emissions from soil and nitrogen fertilisation, emissions of process heat production and soil carbon stock changes in biomass production.

Glyphosate [N-(phosphonomethyl) glycine] is the active ingredient in Roundup, which is the most used herbicide around the world. It is a non-selective herbicide with carboxyl, amino, and phosphonate functional groups, and it has a strong affinity to the soil mineral fraction. Sorption plays a major role for the fate and transport of glyphosate in the environment. The sorption coefficient (Kd) of glyphosate, and hence its mobility, varies greatly among different soil types. Determining Kd is laborious and requires the use of wet chemistry. In this study, we aimed to estimate Kd using basic soil properties, and visible near-infrared spectroscopy (vis\u2013NIRS). The latter method is fast, requires no chemicals, and several soil properties can be estimated from the same spectrum. The data set included 68 topsoil samples collected across the South Island of New Zealand, with clay and organic carbon (OC) contents ranging from 0.001 to 0.520 kg kg\u22121 and 0.021 to 0.217 kg kg\u22121, respectively. The Kd was determined with batch equilibration sorption experiments and ranged from 13 to 3810 L kg\u22121. The visible near-infrared spectra were obtained from 400 to 2500 nm. Multiple linear regression was used to correlate Kd to oxalate extractable aluminium and phosphorous and pH, which resulted in an R2 of 0.89 and an RMSE of 259.59 L kg\u22121. Further, interval partial least squares regression with ten-fold cross-validation was used to predict Kd by vis\u2013NIRS, and an R2 of 0.93 and an RMSECV of 207.58 L kg\u22121 were obtained. Thus, these results show that both basic soil properties and vis\u2013NIRS can predict the variation in Kd across these samples with high accuracy and hence, that glyphosate sorption to a soil can be determined with vis\u2013NIRS.

Selectively fluorinated compounds are found frequently in pharmaceutical and agrochemical products where currently 25\uffe2\uff80\uff9330\uffe2\uff80\uff89% of optimised compounds emerge from development containing at least one fluorine atom. There are many methods for the site\uffe2\uff80\uff90specific introduction of fluorine, but all are chemical and they often use environmentally challenging reagents. Biochemical processes for C\uffe2\uff88\uff92F bond formation are attractive, but they are extremely rare. In this work, the fluorinase enzyme, originally identified from the actinomycete bacterium Streptomyces cattleya, is engineered into Escherichia coli in such a manner that the organism is able to produce 5\uffe2\uff80\uffb2\uffe2\uff80\uff90fluorodeoxyadenosine (5\uffe2\uff80\uffb2\uffe2\uff80\uff90FDA) from S\uffe2\uff80\uff90adenosyl\uffe2\uff80\uff90l\uffe2\uff80\uff90methionine (SAM) and fluoride in live E.\uffe2\uff80\uff85coli cells. Success required the introduction of a SAM transporter and deletion of the endogenous fluoride efflux capacity in order to generate an E.\uffe2\uff80\uff85coli host that has the potential for future engineering of more elaborate fluorometabolites.

Impounding altered the hydrology and soil chemistry of the site. In 1997, we established a factorial experiment along a tree-height gradient with three zones, i.e., fringe, transition, dwarf, and three fertilizer treatment levels, i.e., nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), control, in Mosquito Impoundment 23 on the eastern side of Indian River. Transects traversed the forest perpendicular to the shoreline, from a Rhizophora mangle-dominated fringe through an Avicennia germinans stand of intermediate height, and into a scrub or dwarf stand of A. germinans in the hinterland. Growth rates increased significantly in response to N fertilization. Our growth data indicated that this site is N-limited along the tree-height gradient. After 2 years of N addition, dwarf trees resembled vigorously growing saplings. Addition of N also affected internal dynamics of N and P and caused increases in rates of photosynthesis. These findings contrast with results for a R. mangle-dominated forest in Belize where the fringe is N-limited, but the dwarf zone is P-limited and the transition zone is co-limited by N and P.

In this work, we followed the water transport in three dimensions by CT imaging 5 across a double-porosity media constituted of two distinct materials, i.e. sand and porous 6 clay spheres. The CT acquisition parameters were adjusted to the water pore velocity so that 7 we succeeded to register the water front displacement per time range of 25 min. We also used 8 the image subtraction method to extract water distribution evolution with time with a space 9 resolution of 6 \u00d7 10 \u22123 cm. Both time and space resolution are relatively high compared with 10 other dynamic studies. The water content profiles showed that the clay spheres remained 11 in their dry state during water infiltration, while the water transport only occurred in the 12 sand matrix.

Managing agricultural systems for water conservation is a critical component of sustainable systems. We investigated the relationship between infiltrability and the distance to the nearest tree, and whether differences in macroporosity can account for differences in infiltrability. In both systems, preferential soil water flows were dominant compared to matrix flow. Trees in the pasture landscape improved infiltrability and preferential flow but had no significant effect in the coffee agroforestry system. After comparing rainfall intensity and frequency data to the measured infiltrability values, we conclude that trees in the pasture system reduce surface runoff at the highest observed rainfall intensities (>50\u00a0mm\u00a0h \u22121 ). The volcanic soils of the coffee plantation are less degraded and their high natural permeability has been maintained. Since the coffee plants at this site are established (40 years) perennial vegetation with substantial residues and extensive root systems like trees, they improve soil physical properties similarly to trees. Trees increase hydrologic services in pasture lands, a rapidly expanding land use type across Latin America, and therefore may be a viable land management option for mitigating some of the negative environmental impacts associated with land clearing and animal husbandry.

PMT is affected by abiotic and biotic factors simultaneously, and the effects of biotic factors, such as the dominant plant species and their traits, can override the effects of abiotic factors. Increasing evidence shows that plant-mediated CH4 fluxes include not only PMT, but also within-plant CH4 production and oxidation due to the detection of methanogens and methanotrophs attached to the shoots. Despite the inter-species and seasonal differences, and the probable contribution of within-plant microbes to total plant-mediated CH4 exchange (PME), current process-based ecosystem models only estimate PMT based on the bulk biomass or leaf area index of aerenchymatous plants. We highlight five knowledge gaps to which more research efforts should be devoted. First, large between-species variation, even within the same family, complicates general estimation of PMT, and calls for further work on the key dominant species in different types of wetlands. Second, the interface (rhizosphere-root, root-shoot, or leaf-atmosphere) and plant traits controlling PMT remain poorly documented, but would be required for generalizations from species to relevant functional groups. Third, the main environmental controls of PMT across species remain uncertain. Fourth, the role of within-plant CH4 production and oxidation is poorly quantified. Fifth, the simplistic description of PMT in current process models results in uncertainty and potentially high errors in predictions of the ecosystem CH4 flux. Our review suggest that flux measurements should be conducted over multiple growing seasons and be paired with trait assessment and microbial analysis, and that trait-based models should be developed.

Suboptimal water and nutrient availability are primary constraints in global agriculture. Root anatomy plays key roles in soil resource acquisition. In this article we summarize evidence that root anatomical phenotypes present opportunities for crop breeding.

Scope

Root anatomical phenotypes influence soil resource acquisition by regulating the metabolic cost of soil exploration, exploitation of the rhizosphere, the penetration of hard soil domains, the axial and radial transport of water, and interactions with soil biota including mycorrhizal fungi, pathogens, insects, and the rhizosphere microbiome. For each of these topics we provide examples of anatomical phenotypes which merit attention as selection targets for crop improvement. Several cross-cutting issues are addressed including the importance of phenotypic plasticity, integrated phenotypes, C sequestration, in silico modeling, and novel methods to phenotype root anatomy including image analysis tools.

Conclusions

An array of anatomical phenes have substantial importance for the acquisition of water and nutrients. Substantial phenotypic variation exists in crop germplasm. New tools and methods are making it easier to phenotype root anatomy, determine its genetic control, and understand its utility for plant fitness. Root anatomical phenotypes are underutilized yet attractive breeding targets for the development of the efficient, resilient crops urgently needed in global agriculture.

Calculated risk areas were obtained using detailed landscape data and combining pesticide emissions and hydrological connectivity. The risk areas obtained were further compared with an alternative observation-based method, developed specifically for this study site that includes long-term field observations and local expert knowledge. Both methods equally classified 50% of the areas. The impact of crop rotation on the calculated risk was analysed. High-risk areas were identified and added to a cumulative map over all five years to evaluate temporal variations.

In an on-farm study, we used a variety of plant, soil and water- related variables to assess the effect of Erythrina spp. and Musa spp. on the provision of ecosystem services in productive, high-quality Coffea arabica plantations in Costa Rica. We found 1) no significant effect of shade trees on coffee production overall; 2) evidence that shade trees do affect flowering and subsequent cherry development, with effects strongly dependent on climate and annual variations in coffee plant physiology; 3) Erythrina shade trees significantly increased soil litter and relative infiltration rate of water in the soil, both linked to soil conservation and decrease in erosion; 4) even in highly fertilized environments, Erythrina trees do fix N which was taken up by adjacent coffee plants. The lack of significant negative effect of shade trees on overall coffee yield and the observation of the provision of other useful services was not unexpected, because of 1) the low density of shade trees in the study site (100\u2013350 trees/ha pruned twice a year on average) and 2) the sensitivity of coffee yields to other interacting effects such as climate, pests and diseases and physiological variations in the plant.

Despite high-affinity Cu transporters (COPTs) being key participants in Cu homeostasis maintenance, very little is known about COPTs in tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) even though it is the most consumed fruit worldwide and this crop is susceptible to suboptimal Cu conditions. In this study, a six-member family of COPT (SlCOPT1-6) was identified and characterized. SlCOPTs have a conserved architecture consisting of three transmembrane domains and \u03b2-strains. However, the presence of essential methionine residues, a methionine-enriched amino-terminal region, an Mx3Mx12Gx3G Cu-binding motif and a cysteine rich carboxy-terminal region, all required for their functionality, is more variable among members.

The aim of this study was to determine effects of Ag2S-NPs on earthworm bioturbation and effect of this bioturbation on the vertical distribution of Ag2S-NPs. Columns (12\u202fcm) of a sandy loamy soil with and without Lumbricus rubellus were prepared with and without 10\u202fmg Ag kg-1, applied as Ag2S-NPs in the top 2\u202fcm of the soil, while artificial rainwater was applied at \u223c1.2\u202fmm day-1. 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.

We analyzed spherical polyethylene (PE: 125\u2013150\u00a0\u03bcm; 425\u2013500\u00a0\u03bcm) and irregular polylactic acid (PLA: 125\u2013150\u00a0\u03bcm; 250\u2013300\u00a0\u03bcm).

This characteristic has led to the conservation and promotion of vegetative barriers as landscape elements by the Common Agricultural Policy and other policy initiatives. Numerous reviews have dealt with the trapping efficiency of vegetated barriers, although they usually focus on studies from humid climates where their implantation and survival are more favourable. However, vegetated barriers are also an attractive alternative in arid and semi-arid climates. They limit competition for water and nutrients with crops to a reduced area compared to other best management practices, such as cover crops. This study presents a review of trapping efficiency of sediment, runoff, and nutrients (P and N) by vegetative barriers in regions of humid and arid, and semi-arid, climates, and a strategy based on sediment trapping efficiency probability, which in turn is based on the results obtained from our review. Different types of independent variables were grouped and identified for the review: related to the vegetative barrier dimension (buffer width, slope of the plot, and buffer area ratio), and related to the experimental conditions (type of vegetation in the buffer, soil protection of the non-buffered area, type of climate, type of experimental measurement and origin of rainfall). An exploratory analysis evaluated the significance of the experimental variables, which identified the need to focus on experiments under natural rainfall since those carried out with simulated rainfall presented statistically significant differences. In general, average trapping efficiencies for runoff and sediment were 40.1 and 62.6 %, respectively. For nutrients, values of trapping efficiencies had an average of 44.9 % for phosphorus and 38.4 % for nitrogen. Runoff and sediment trapping efficiency in arid and semi-arid regions tended to be higher than in humid regions. Regarding dimensional variables, a positive trend was observed in the runoff and sediment trapping efficiency with the width of the vegetative barrier, with a large variability across all the width range. Finally, based on the results of our review, we developed a probabilistic model for sediment trapping efficiency as a normalised cumulative probability distribution function for the two climatic regions separately. Also, we developed it as a function of the width of the vegetative barrier for each climatic region, to facilitate decision-making. This model shows that in 92 % of the cases, a vegetative barrier will reduce erosion in humid climates, while this trapping efficiency will be 100 % in semi-arid and arid conditions. This analysis showed that vegetative barriers are an alternative to other best management practices, e.g. cover crops, when there are operational or agronomic impediments to their implementation, having a high success rate in reducing erosion in any agricultural area.", "keywords": ["2.

This contamination leads to the formation of NAPL blobs trapped in the soil and impact of this residual saturation cannot be ignored for correct predictions of the contaminant fate. In this paper, we present results of micromodel experiments on the dissolution of pure hydrocarbon phase (toluene). They were conducted for two values of the P\u00e9clet number. These experiments provide data for comparison and validation of a two-phase non-equilibrium theoretical model developed by Quintard and Whitaker (1994) using the volume averaging method. The model was directly upscaled from the averaged pore-scale mass balance equations.

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.

This study introduces the concept of forests as natural metamaterials to attenuate the vibrations generated at the wheel-rail interaction. In particular, a group of natural metamaterials, in the form of a forest, is introduced into a vehicle/track/soil validated model based on the two-step approach. The ideal tree/soil unit-cell constituting the forest is obtained through a parametric investigation of the geometrical and material properties in order to have the first band-gap within the main range of frequencies generated by railway traffic in urban areas. The vibration attenuation levels obtained by the introduction of the natural metamaterial are then evaluated by considering a range of operational velocities for the T2000 Brussels tram LRV (Light Rail Vehicle).

By utilizing these techniques, a field study was carried out to analyze the effect of tillage implement and plastic sizes on plastic displacement, to understand the fate of macroplastics in arable land. Results indicated that the displacement of macroplastics did not depend upon plastic sizes but did depend upon the tillage implement used. The mean macroplastics displacement per tillage pass was 0.36\u00a0\u00b1\u00a00.25\u00a0m with non-inversion chisel tillage and 0.15\u00a0\u00b1\u00a00.13\u00a0m with inversion disk tillage, which was similar to bulk soil displacement. However, only inversion disk tillage caused fragmentation (41\u00a0%) of macroplastics and generated microplastics (< 5\u00a0mm). In contrast, both tillage implements drove to similar burial of surface macroplastics into the tilled layer (74\u00a0% on average).

Subsequently, active compounds were used to develop two regression approaches: (i) multiple linear regression MLR, and (ii) second approach aimed at identifying multiple valid QSAR models based on different data-splitting strategies. Finally, a comprehensive virtual screening of a large PFAS dataset was conducted to assess their potency in disrupting thyroid hormone transport.

Monte Carlo modelling", "description": "Understanding the transformation and transport of manufactured nanoparticles (NPs) in aquatic systems remains an important issue due to their potential hazard. Once released in aquatic systems, NPs will interact with natural compounds such as suspended inorganic particles and/or natural organic matter (NOM) and heteroaggregation will control their ultimate fate. Unfortunately, systematic experimental methods to study heteroaggregation are not straightforward and still scarce. In addition, the description of heteroaggregation rate constants and attachment efficiencies is still a matter of debate since no clear definition exists. In this work, an original cluster-cluster Monte Carlo model is developed to get an insight into heteroaggregation process descriptions. A two-component system composed of NPs and NOM fulvic acid monomers is investigated by considering several water models to cover a range of (relevant) conditions from fresh to marine waters. For that purpose, homo- and hetero- individual attachment efficiencies between NPs and NOM units are adjusted (NP-NP, NOM-NOM and NP-NOM). The influence of NP/NOM ratio, NOM-NOM homoaggregation versus heteroaggregation, and surface coating effects is studied systematically. From a quantitative point of view, aggregation rate constants as well as attachment efficiencies are calculated as a function of physical time so as to characterize the individual influence of each parameter and to allow future comparison with experimental data. Heteroaggregation processes and global attachment efficiencies corresponding to several mechanisms and depending on the evolution of heteroaggregate structures all along the simulations are defined. The calculation of attachment efficiency values is found dependent on NP/NOM concentration ratios via coating effects, by the initial set of elementary attachment efficiencies and influence of homoaggregation. Marine water represents a specific case of aggregation where all particle contacts are effective. On the other hand, in 'ultrapure' and 'fresh waters', a competition between homo- and heteroaggregation occurs depending on the initial attachment efficiencies therefore indicating that a subtle change in the NP surface properties as well as in the water chemistry have a significant impact on heteroaggregation processes.", "keywords": ["SDG 14 \u2013 Leben unter Wasser", "FATE", "0211 other engineering and technologies", "02 engineering and technology", "SILVER NANOPARTICLES", "01 natural sciences", "Nanoparticle", "ddc:550", "105906 Environmental geosciences", "SDG 14 - Life Below Water", "Monte Carlo simulation", "OXIDE NANOPARTICLES", "0105 earth and related environmental sciences", "ddc:333.7-333.9", "Natural organic matter", "NANOMATERIALS", "info:eu-repo/classification/ddc/333.7-333.9", "info:eu-repo/classification/ddc/550", "Surface coating", "ENGINEERED NANOPARTICLES", "Attachment efficiency", "Nanopartide", "TITANIUM-DIOXIDE NANOPARTICLES", "TRANSPORT", "AQUATIC ENVIRONMENT", "TIO2 NANOPARTICLES", "Natural Organic Matter", "13.

We thus optimized our previously published unique transport data for hydrophilic Escherichia coli (E. coli) and hydrophobic Rhodococcus erythropolis (R. erythropolis) bacteria, and bromide (Br-) in two distinct wettable and water-repellent soils at column scale. The soils were initially dry, followed by injecting influents in two pulses followed by a flushing step under saturated flow conditions for six pore volumes. We conducted simulations for each pulse separately and simultaneously for soils. There were differences in hydraulic properties of the soils due to their contrasting wetting characteristic in separate and simultaneously modeling of each pulse affecting Br- and bacteria transport fate. Bacteria attachment was the dominant retention mechanism in both soils in these conditions. Notably, the 82.4\u00a0min-1 attachment rate in wettable soil was almost 10\u00d7 greater than in the water-repellent soil and it governed optimization of bacteria die-off. Physicochemical detachment and physical release unraveled the effect of bacteria size and hydrophobicity interacting with soil wettability.

The micronutrient zinc (Zn) is often poorly available but toxic when present in excess, so a tightly controlled Zn homoeostasis network operates in all organisms. This review summarizes our present understanding of plant Zn homoeostasis. In Arabidopsis, about 1,900 Zn-binding metalloproteins require Zn as a cofactor. Abundant Zn metalloproteins reside in plastids, mitochondria and peroxisomes, emphasizing the need to address how Zn reaches these proteins. Apo\uffe2\uff80\uff93Zn metalloproteins do not acquire Zn2+ from a cytosolic pool of free cations, but instead through associative ligand exchange from Zn-buffering molecules. The importance of cytosolic thiols in Zn buffering suggests that, besides elevated Zn influx, a more oxidized redox state is also predicted to cause elevated labile-bound Zn levels, consistent with the suppression of a Zn deficiency marker under oxidative stress. Therefore, we consider a broadened physiological scope in plants for a possible signalling role of Zn2+, experimentally supported only in animals to date.Lagrangian methods, such as the random\uffe2\uff80\uff90walk particle\uffe2\uff80\uff90tracking (RWPT), are often qualified as a potentially valuable alternative to error\uffe2\uff80\uff90prone Eulerian methods for simulating solute transport in unsaturated porous media. Yet, the RWPT method has not yet been validated against \uffe2\uff80\uff90 and compared to \uffe2\uff80\uff90 currently used Eulerian solutions for simulating solute transport under a range of typical unsaturated conditions. This paper presents a new implementation of the RWPT approach for advective \uffe2\uff80\uff90 dispersive transport problems under variably saturated conditions. We first show that, as previously demonstrated for a heterogeneous dispersion tensor, using an interpolation scheme in the RWPT algorithm performs well for problems with abrupt changes in the water content. The new model is then compared against a simple 1D uniform transport problem, for which an analytical solution exist, and against a variety of 1D and 3D numerical solutions using the different Eulerian schemes implemented in Hydrus software suite. Results show that, while the Eulerian solutions significantly suffer from numerical dispersion in case of a coarse spatial discretization of the simulation domain, the new Lagrangian model provides accurate solutions for all problems. Furthermore, RWPT reproduces accurately solute transport for typical unsaturated flow conditions (infiltration, evaporation). Moreover, the Lagrangian model appears to be orders of magnitude faster than its Eulerian alternative to solve a 3D heterogeneous problem. Thus, RWPT should be seen as an attractive, stable and efficient alternative for simulating solute transport in the vadose zone, especially in case of complex and large problems.Lagrangian methods, such as the random\uffe2\uff80\uff90walk particle\uffe2\uff80\uff90tracking (RWPT), are often qualified as a potentially valuable alternative to error\uffe2\uff80\uff90prone Eulerian methods for simulating solute transport in unsaturated porous media.

In these soils, 14C data indicate that the creation of slow\uffe2\uff80\uff90cycling carbon can be modeled as occurring through reaction of organic ligands with Al3+ and Fe3+ cations in the upper horizons, followed by sorption to amorphous inorganic Al compounds at depth. Only one of these processes, the chelation of Al3+ and Fe3+ by organic ligands, is linked to large carbon stocks. Organic ligands stabilized by this process traverse the soil column as dissolved organic carbon (both from surface horizons and root exudates). At our moist grassland site, this chelation and transport process is very strongly correlated with the storage and long\uffe2\uff80\uff90term stabilization of soil organic carbon. Our 14C results show that the mechanisms of organic carbon transport and storage at this site follow a classic model previously believed to only be significant in a single soil order (Spodosols), and closely related to the presence of forests. The presence of this process in the grassland Alfisol, Inceptisol, and Mollisol soils of this chronosequence suggests that this process is a more significant control on organic carbon storage than previously thought.

To be effective, such management must account for processes influencing carbon storage and re-emission at different space and time scales. Achieving this requires a conceptual advance in our understanding to link carbon dynamics from the scales at which processes occur to the scales at which decisions are made. Here, we propose that soil carbon persistence can be understood through the lens of decomposers as a result of functional complexity derived from the interplay between spatial and temporal variation of molecular diversity and composition. For example, co-location alone can determine whether a molecule is decomposed, with rapid changes in moisture leading to transport of organic matter and constraining the fitness of the microbial community, while greater molecular diversity may increase the metabolic demand of, and thus potentially limit, decomposition. This conceptual shift accounts for emergent behaviour of the microbial community and would enable soil carbon changes to be predicted without invoking recalcitrant carbon forms that have not been observed experimentally.

With continuous nitrogen (N) enrichment and sulfur (S) deposition, soil acidification has accelerated and become a global environmental issue. However, a full understanding of the general pattern of ecosystem belowground processes in response to soil acidification due to the impacting factors remains elusive. We conducted a meta-analysis of soil acidification impacts on belowground functions using 304 observations from 49 independent studies, mainly including soil cations, soil nutrient, respiration, root and microbial biomass. Our results show that acid addition significantly reduced soil pH by 0.24 on average, with less pH decrease in forest than non-forest ecosystems. The response ratio of soil pH was positively correlated with site precipitation and temperature, but negatively with initial soil pH. Soil base cations (Ca2+, Mg2+, Na+) decreased while non-base cations (Al3+, Fe3+) increased with soil acidification. Soil respiration, fine root biomass, microbial biomass carbon and nitrogen were significantly reduced by 14.7%, 19.1%, 9.6% and 12.1%, respectively, under acid addition. These indicate that soil carbon processes are sensitive to soil acidification. Overall, our meta-analysis suggests a strong negative impact of soil acidification on belowground functions, with the potential to suppress soil carbon emission. It also arouses our attention to the toxic effects of soil ions on terrestrial ecosystems.

Crops have different strategies to acquire poorly-available soil phosphorus (P) which are dependent on their architectural, morphological, and physiological root traits, but their capacity to enhance P acquisition varies with the type of fertilizer applied. The objective of this study was to examine how P-acquisition strategies of three main crops are affected by the application of sewage sludges, compared with a mineral P fertilizer. We carried out a 3-months greenhouse pot experiment and compared the response of P-acquisition traits among wheat, barley and canola in a soil amended with three sludges or a mineral P fertilizer. Results showed that the P-acquisition strategy differed among crops. Compared with canola, wheat and barley had a higher specific root length and a greater root carboxylate release and they acquired as much P from sludge as from mineral P. By contrast, canola shoot P content was greater with sludge than with mineral P. This was attributed to a higher root-released acid phosphatase activity which promoted the mineralization of sludge-derived P-organic. This study showed that contrasted P-acquisition strategies of crops allows increased use of renewable P resources by optimizing combinations of crop and the type of P fertilizer applied within the cropping system.

High soil organic carbon content, extensive root biomass, and low nutrient availability make alpine grasslands an important ecosystem for assessing the influence of nutrient enrichment on soil respiration (SR). We conducted a four-year (2009\uffe2\uff80\uff932012) field experiment in an alpine grassland on the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau to examine the individual and combined effects of nitrogen (N, 100\uffe2\uff80\uff89kg ha\uffe2\uff88\uff921year\uffe2\uff88\uff921) and phosphorus (P, 50\uffe2\uff80\uff89kg ha\uffe2\uff88\uff921year\uffe2\uff88\uff921) addition on SR. We found that both N and P addition did not affect the overall growing-season SR but effects varied by year: with N addition SR increased in the first year but decreased during the last two years. However, while P addition did not affect SR during the first two years, SR increased during the last two years. No interactive effects of N and P addition were observed, and both N addition and P addition reduced heterotrophic respiration during the last year of the experiment. N and P addition affected SR via different processes: N mainly affected heterotrophic respiration, whereas P largely influenced autotrophic respiration. Our results highlight the divergent effects of N and P addition on SR and address the important potential of P enrichment for regulating SR and the carbon balance in alpine grasslands.

Permafrost thaw will release additional carbon dioxide into the atmosphere resulting in a positive feedback to climate change. However, the mineralization dynamics of organic matter (OM) stored in permafrost-affected soils remain unclear. We used physical soil fractionation, radiocarbon measurements, incubation experiments, and a dynamic decomposition model to identify distinct vertical pattern in OM decomposability. The observed differences reflect the type of OM input to the subsoil, either by cryoturbation or otherwise, e.g. by advective water-borne transport of dissolved OM. In non-cryoturbated subsoil horizons, most OM is stabilized at mineral surfaces or by occlusion in aggregates. In contrast, pockets of OM-rich cryoturbated soil contain sufficient free particulate OM for microbial decomposition. After thaw, OM turnover is as fast as in the upper active layer. Since cryoturbated soils store ca. 450 Pg carbon, identifying differences in decomposability according to such translocation processes has large implications for the future global carbon cycle and climate, and directs further process model development. Forest ecosystems are important sinks for rising concentrations of atmospheric CO 2 . In previous research, we showed that net primary production (NPP) increased by 23 \uffc2\uffb1 2% when four experimental forests were grown under atmospheric concentrations of CO 2 predicted for the latter half of this century. Because nitrogen (N) availability commonly limits forest productivity, some combination of increased N uptake from the soil and more efficient use of the N already assimilated by trees is necessary to sustain the high rates of forest NPP under free-air CO 2 enrichment (FACE). In this study, experimental evidence demonstrates that the uptake of N increased under elevated CO 2 at the Rhinelander, Duke, and Oak Ridge National Laboratory FACE sites, yet fertilization studies at the Duke and Oak Ridge National Laboratory FACE sites showed that tree growth and forest NPP were strongly limited by N availability. By contrast, nitrogen-use efficiency increased under elevated CO 2 at the POP-EUROFACE site, where fertilization studies showed that N was not limiting to tree growth. Some combination of increasing fine root production, increased rates of soil organic matter decomposition, and increased allocation of carbon (C) to mycorrhizal fungi is likely to account for greater N uptake under elevated CO 2 . Regardless of the specific mechanism, this analysis shows that the larger quantities of C entering the below-ground system under elevated CO 2 result in greater N uptake, even in N-limited ecosystems. Biogeochemical models must be reformulated to allow C transfers below ground that result in additional N uptake under elevated CO 2 .

We measured BC in one of the fastest-warming and, at the same time, substantially understudied regions on our planet, the northeastern Siberian Arctic. Our observations, compared with an atmospheric transport model, imply that quantification and spatial allocation of emissions at high latitudes, specifically in the Russian Arctic, need improvement by reallocating emissions and significantly shifting source contributions for the transport, domestic, power plant, and gas flaring sectors. This strong shift in reported emissions has potentially considerable implications for climate modeling and BC mitigation efforts.
