Summary: The meta-analysis on rice growth physiology showed that elevated CO2 concentration increased root and shoot biomass, maximum tiller number, and light-saturated photosynthetic rate. However, the effects varied with different rice growth stages, cultivars, and nitrogen application rates. Chinese rice showed a more significant response to elevated CO2 compared to Japanese rice in FACE studies.

Summary: The analysis shows that elevated atmospheric CO2 concentration under FACE conditions can significantly increase rice yield by enhancing various yield components, especially spikelet density. Hybrid and indica rice exhibit a stronger response to elevated CO2 compared to conventional rice. Nitrogen supply plays a crucial role in affecting rice yield, while temperature also has different effects on yield increase.

Summary: The rise of atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration has led to the development of research methods to study its effects on crop plants. Nighttime CO2 enrichment did not have an effect on cotton seedling leaf area and growth, suggesting that the effects may be species or cultivar dependent.

Summary: This study investigates the use of aqueous solutions of amino acids for CO2 absorption. The kinetics of CO2 absorption in sodium serinate solutions and their blend with piperazine were studied. The results show that sodium serinate solution can be used as a CO2 absorbent, and adding piperazine to the solution can improve the CO2 absorption efficiency.

Summary: The increase in atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration affects root growth in grain crops unevenly, with differences in responses between depths and genotypes. While root growth in the topsoil is stimulated by elevated CO2 levels, it is not strongly correlated with yield response. Conversely, root growth below 30 cm depth shows a stronger correlation with increased yield response to elevated CO2 levels.

Summary: Compared with growth and yield, little attention has been paid to the impact of elevated CO2 on rice grain quality. However, elevated CO2 concentration has significant effects on the quality of rice grains, leading to decreased head rice percentage and increased chalky grain percentage. Nevertheless, it improves the cooking and eating quality. Additionally, the nutritional value of rice is reduced under elevated CO2 conditions.

Summary: The impact of elevated CO2 on rice quality was studied, showing a decrease in processing suitability, appearance, and nutritional quality but an improvement in eating quality. Responses to nutritional quality were similar in different grain positions (brown and milled rice). The effects of eCO2 on rice quality varied little with different growing seasons, source-sink ratios, or grain positions.

Summary: Carbon dioxide is an ideal C1 building block for the synthesis of value-added chemicals due to its low cost, non-toxicity, abundant reserves, and recyclability. Organic electrosynthesis, using electricity as the driving force, is an efficient and environmentally friendly method for converting CO2 into valuable products. This review focuses on the recent advances in electrocarboxylation of CO2 with unsaturated substrates, such as ketones, aldehydes, and imines, and highlights its potential applications in green organic electrosynthesis.

Summary: Integrated CO2 absorption and mineralisation technology using green solvent amino acid salts (AAS) showed better performance in CO2 absorption and formation of CaCO3 compared to traditional alkanolamines. Potassium L-argininate stood out as an effective crystal morphology regulator, while ethylene diamine tetraacetic acid (EDTA) had a notable influence on controlling the polymorph of CaCO3. Further investigation is needed to clarify the effect of EDTA on the CO2 absorption step.

Summary: This study reveals the diverse responses of sugarcane to elevated CO2 and temperature, with significant genotypic variation playing a crucial role in determining these responses. The combined effects of high CO2 and elevated temperature have a more pronounced impact on sugarcane growth, highlighting the importance of breeding varieties that can withstand future climate conditions.

Summary: Bacteria play essential roles in soil health maintenance, and real-time monitoring of their activity levels can provide insights into soil quality, nutrient availability, and future crop yields. A non-destructive technique for monitoring cellulase activity of microorganisms in targeted ecosystems has been demonstrated using a cellulose acetate membrane. The proposed method shows potential for in-field measurements and real-time assessment of microbial activity, with implications for precision agricultural applications.

Summary: Photodegradation contributes to similar leaf litter mass loss rates in mesic environments and drylands, despite water limitations in the latter. Our study in the Southern Appalachian Mountains showed that during the non-growing season, exposure to maximum solar radiation led to decreased proportions of oxidized lignin relative to other carbon compounds in leaf litter. This phenomenon was particularly strong on south-facing slopes with higher solar radiation levels.

Summary: This study found significant changes in biopolymers (lignin, substituted fatty acids, amino sugars) in soil after five years of aboveground litter addition or removal treatments in a temperate forest, suggesting potential impacts on soil organic carbon composition and stability. Although soil nitrogen and carbon contents were not affected, the presence or absence of aboveground litter had a selective effect on the chemical composition of soil organic carbon in different soil depths.

Summary: This study investigates the thermal runaway mechanisms of Prussian blue analogs in nonaqueous sodium- and potassium-ion batteries, revealing a new runaway mechanism that does not involve oxygen evolution, and identifying safety issues related to cyanide release and exothermic reactions with the electrolyte. Calorimetric studies at the full-cell level show mitigated heat generation but lower initiation temperature of runaway compared to conventional systems, suggesting that PBA materials cannot be considered as safe cathodes and highlighting the importance of crystal defects and trapped water content in thermal safety.

Summary: Streams and rivers integrate and transport particulate organic carbon (POC) from various sources, especially during storm events. The study in Iowa, U.S.A. identified a temporal sequence of POC inputs during storms, with significant changes in POC suspended in the water. The longitudinal evolution of the POC signal downstream has implications for understanding soil erosion and organic geochemical sedimentary records.
