In this study adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) was employed to forecast greenhouse strawberry yield on the basis of different combination of energy inputs. Also, an artificial neural networks (ANNs) model was developed and generalized to compare their results with proposed ANFIS model. Data for the present study was randomly collected from 33 greenhouses from Guilan province, Iran. Energy inputs used in strawberry cultivation included labor, chemical fertilizers, diesel fuel, machinery, biocides, electricity, natural gas and water for irrigation which were all selected as input parameters of the models and correspondingly strawberry yield was considered as output variable. Coefficient of determination (R-2), root mean square error (RMSE), mean absolute error (MAE) and mean absolute percentage error (MAPE) were calculated as 0.9121, 0.0667, 0.0388 and 0.0084 for ANN model and they were calculated as 0.963, 0.017, 0.014 and 0.003 for ANFIS model. Finally, a comparison between developed ANN and proposed ANFIS was made and the outcomes disclosed that ANFIS model can predict strawberry yield relatively better than does ANN model.

Restriction of biosolids returning to land: Fate of antibiotic resistance genes in soils after long-term biosolids application

Xuechao Qin, Limei Zhai, Benyamin Khoshnevisan, Junting Pan, Hongbin Liu

Summary: Although the utilization of biosolids in agricultural lands is considered effective in improving resource reuse, the presence of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) limits its application. A 12-year experiment found that biosolids application significantly increased the abundance of ARGs in soil, and the increase was positively correlated with the dose of biosolids applied. Several subtypes of ARGs were detected, with mobile genetic elements (MGEs), aminoglycoside, and multidrug resistance genes being the most dominant types. Controlling the rate of biosolid application is crucial in reducing the accumulation and transfer of ARGs in soils.

Ehsan Savand-Roumi, Seyed Saeid Mohtasebi, Shahin Rafiee, Hossein Ghanavati, Benyamin Khoshnevisan

Summary: This study focused on monitoring a biogas digester for food waste treatment using an e-nose system. The e-nose system and Principal Component Analysis (PCA) were utilized to monitor the gaseous headspace of the digester. By analyzing the e-nose data, the digester's feeding was controlled based on monitoring indices. The results showed that the digester maintained steady-state conditions and good performance, with high organic acid reduction, pH stabilization, and methane production.

Summary: Concerns over food security and protein scarcity have prompted scientists to search for new protein sources. The first generation of microbial protein (MP) is not considered sustainable due to its reliance on natural gas and synthetic chemicals. Thus, researchers are focusing on the production of second generation MP, which integrates renewable energies and other technologies to improve sustainability.

Summary: The growing volume of municipal solid waste (MSW) generated worldwide often undergoes open dumping, landfilling, or uncontrolled burning, releasing massive pollutants and pathogens into the soil, water, and air. On the other hand, MSW can be used as a valuable feedstock in biological and thermochemical conversion processes to produce bioenergy carriers, biofuels, and biochemicals in line with the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Valorizing MSW using advanced technologies is highly energy-intensive and chemical consuming.

Comprehensive effects of integrated management on reducing nitrogen and phosphorus loss under legume-rice rotations

Shaopeng Wang, Shufang Guo, Limei Zhai, Lingling Hua, Benyamin Khoshnevisan, Hongyuan Wang, Hongbin Liu

Summary: Paddy fields-based cropping systems located in areas with dense water networks can cause pollution risks to surrounding water bodies due to nitrogen and phosphorous losses from rice paddy fields caused by runoff. However, research on establishing a low fertilizer input paddy-based cropping system with comprehensive management to reduce runoff losses of nitrogen and phosphorous is insufficient. A five-year field trial found that a rice-fava planting system can significantly reduce nitrogen and phosphorous runoff losses by selecting a rotation system and reducing chemical fertilizer input through manure application and straw returning, thus reducing the nitrogen and phosphorous surplus in the system. Additionally, it was observed that the runoff water in the early stage of rice growth, which has high concentrations of nitrogen and phosphorous, poses potential risks to the watershed.

Shallow groundwater fluctuation: An ignored soil N loss pathway from cropland

Anqiang Chen, Dan Zhang, Hongyuan Wang, Rongyang Cui, Benyamin Khoshnevisan, Shufang Guo, Panlei Wang, Hongbin Liu

Summary: Nitrogen pollution from agricultural land is a major threat to shallow groundwater. While extensive research has been done on nitrogen losses through leaching and runoff, the soil nitrogen losses caused by fluctuating groundwater levels are often overlooked. This study found that soil nitrogen losses were mainly concentrated in the initial 12 days after flooding, followed by nitrogen immobilization, and eventually reached a balance between inflow and outflow after 50 days. Alterations between drying and flooding significantly increased nitrogen losses. Adjusting the planting structure is a key measure to reduce soil nitrogen storage and mitigate groundwater contamination.

Summary: The organic fraction of municipal solid waste (OFMSW) is a promising feedstock for biofuel production. However, inhibitory compounds from fruit and food/beverage wastes as well as lignocellulosic fractions hinder its bioconversion. This review provides the latest inhibitory compound removal and pretreatment techniques for efficient OFMSW conversion into biofuels and discusses their mode of action, consumption, feasibility, and sustainability. It also highlights the knowledge gap and future perspectives for OFMSW valorization, contributing to energy-resilient cities and addressing environmental crises.

Summary: This study investigates the anthropogenic phosphorus variations in the Ulansuhai Nur watershed using a Net Anthropogenic Phosphorus Input (NAPI) budget model. The results show an increasing trend in annual NAPI, mainly attributed to chemical P fertilizers and livestock breeding. There is a significant positive correlation between NAPI and riverine total phosphorus (TP) export. However, after 2009, riverine TP export decreases due to environmental treatment measures.

Summary: Due to the limitations of ground monitoring stations in China for the BDS, the accuracy of BDS Medium Earth Orbit (MEO) satellite orbits can be influenced. To overcome this, low Earth orbit (LEO) satellites can be used as additional monitoring stations. In this study, data from two LEO satellites were collected to improve the precise orbit determination of the BDS. By comparing the results with GPS and BDS-2/3 solutions, it was found that including the LEO satellites significantly improved the accuracy of GPS and BDS-2/3 orbits.
