Summary: This study found that crop residue inputs can increase soil organic carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus contents, helping to alleviate soil carbon limitation and maintain balanced soil stoichiometry. The increase in soil organic carbon and carbon-to-nitrogen (phosphorus) ratio reached saturation after around 13-16 years, while the increase in grain yield stopped. A predictive model was proposed to evaluate the potential for crop residue improvement under different soil conditions and nitrogen input levels.

Summary: The effects of biochar application on dry direct-seeded rice paddies were studied over 3 consecutive years. The results showed that biochar increased the stability of soil aggregates and improved the nutrient content in the soil. It also had a significant impact on the composition and richness of soil bacterial communities. Overall, applying biochar in dry direct-seeded rice cultivation can promote soil nutrient conversion, improve soil fertility, and contribute to low-carbon agriculture.

Summary: This study investigates the short-term effects of adding different rates of nitrogen-enriched biochar to rice paddy soils in subtropical regions. The results show that the application of moderate doses of nitrogen-enriched biochar can increase rice yield, reduce methane emissions, and increase soil cumulative carbon emissions by inducing changes in plant growth characteristics and soil bacterial communities.

Summary: The study found that biochar amendment to paddy soils can increase the migration of mercury and the formation of methylmercury. Additionally, biochar alters the composition of soil organic matter, which is positively correlated with methylmercury concentration. However, there are environmental risks associated with biochar application to paddy soils under dynamic redox conditions.

Summary: This study found that the application of goethite-modified biochar (GB) significantly reduced the accumulation of cadmium (Cd) and arsenic (As) in rice plants. GB amendment decreased the bioavailability of Cd and As in the soil, increased Fe-plaque formation on root surfaces, and altered the microbial community in the rice rhizosphere. The use of GB effectively improved the quality of rice grains and provided a valuable method to protect public health by mitigating the co-occurrence of Cd and As in paddy soils.

Summary: The study found that adding 3% biochar can increase soil pH, MBC, NO3--N content, gene abundance (nosZ, nirK, AOA, and AOB), and urease activity, effectively reducing N2O emissions. This indicates that using rice residue-based biochar can effectively reduce nitrogen oxide emissions from acidic red soils.

Summary: Previous global meta-analyses on biochar showed inconsistent effects on methane emissions and crop yields. In this study, a meta-analysis of 43 published papers was conducted, revealing that biochar application significantly reduced methane emissions, increased soil organic carbon content, and improved crop yield. The influential factors on methane emissions, soil organic carbon content, and crop yield were identified. These findings provide a scientific basis for biochar application in East Asian rice paddies.

Summary: This study investigates the effects of biochar on soil macropore characteristics, and finds that the effects of biochar vary with the addition rate and soil depth. In the surface soil, biochar treatments increase macroporosity but decrease circularity, while in deeper soil layers the opposite effects are observed. The expansion and occupying effects of biochar also differ at different depths. Therefore, the depth-dependent macropore structure should be considered when assessing the influence of biochar on soil properties and environmental effects.

Summary: Soil microbial necromass plays a critical role in soil organic carbon (SOC) sequestration, with elevated CO2 increasing fungal-derived C and warming increasing bacterial-derived C in SOC. The combination of elevated CO2 and warming resulted in the highest total microbial necromass and SOC accumulation, with root biomass indirectly affecting total amino sugar concentration through increased microbial biomass. Further research involving multiple sampling times is needed to understand the temporal dynamics of these properties.

Summary: The different forms of crop residue can affect the formation of macroaggregates and the development of the pore system. Application of manured and pyrolyzed maize residue can increase the storage of soil organic carbon and the proportion of macroaggregates, while changing the carbon storage and micro-pore structure of the paddy topsoil. Recycling crop residue as biochar in paddy fields can ensure SOC sequestration through enhanced physical protection of POC in macroaggregates, which further contributes to soil functioning.

The results show that industrial operation sources (IOS) cause more serious Cd and Pb pollution in vegetables, while organic fertilizer sources (OFS) induce higher Cu and Zn accumulation. The concentrations and fractions of heavy metals in soil also play an important role in the pollution characteristics.

Summary: An O-alkylation reaction using tetrabutylammonium hydroxide (TBAH) as a phase-transfer agent was employed to modify the hydrophobic properties of humic acid (HA). The carboxyl and hydroxyl functional groups of HA acted as nucleophiles in substitution reactions with alkyl halides. The findings indicate that the hydrophobicity of humic substances can be modulated through a mild O-alkylation reaction, and this structural modification may have various chemical, environmental, and biological applications.

Summary: Plant litter quality is an important factor in soil organic matter decomposition, but its impact under climate change is poorly understood. This study found that while elevated CO2 and warming changed litter quality, the decomposition of organic matter in the soil was predominantly influenced by long-term effects of CO2 and warming on soil properties, rather than changes in litter quality.

Summary: This study evaluates the performance of ozonation and adsorption as in-series processes compared to standalone processes for the removal of Contaminants of Emerging Concern (CECs) in drinking water. The combination of both processes proves to be more effective than adsorption and ozonation alone. Ozonation improves the adsorption performance of poorly-oxidizable CECs but worsens that of well-oxidizable compounds. This research highlights the importance of considering both processes in the removal of CECs in drinking water treatment plants.

Summary: The exacerbation of global warming, extreme weather events, and rapid urbanization have led to increased flooding in urban areas. China has adopted sponge city as an efficient means of preventing and controlling urban floods. Using a SWMM-FVCOM model, the hydrological reduction and control effect of sponge city construction (SPCC) within a university campus were evaluated. The study found that implementing SPCC effectively mitigates surface runoff and reduces the severity of urban flooding. However, the efficacy of runoff control decreases with longer rainfall return periods.
