Summary: The freeze-thaw process affects microbial communities in alpine soils, but the microbial responses to seasonal freeze-thaw processes in deep soil have been neglected under climate change. This study collected microbial samples from three alpine meadows on the northeastern Qinghai-Tibet Plateau during four seasonal freeze-thaw periods and determined the taxa and biomass of living microbes. The results showed that the microbial biomass varied among different seasonal freeze-thaw periods and soil depths, and the main controlling factors were soil temperature, soil organic carbon, and total nitrogen.

Summary: This study investigates the implications of permafrost thaw on forest soil Nmin in a hemiboreal forest. The results show that permafrost thaw significantly decreases Nmin values. Nmin is positively associated with soil substrates, microbial biomass, and soil moisture content. The decline in Nmin is primarily attributed to changes in soil substrates rather than plant community composition.

Summary: This study found that the retention of fresh carbon in tropical forest soils is related to initial sorption in mineral soil and microbial uptake, and warming has a negative impact on carbon retention, especially in less-weathered soils. Understanding this interaction could enhance predictions of forest-climate feedbacks in tropical regions.

Summary: The study showed that soil microbial composition remains stable over time and years, but varies significantly with topographic location, influenced by factors such as moisture, soil organic carbon, and pH. While microbial taxa often correlate with biogeochemical processes, there is a lack of ecological coherence among close relatives. Dominant phyla are consistent across the gradient, but specific members exhibit tradeoffs among locations, indicating a complex relationship between microbial composition and biogeochemical functions.

Summary: Soil microbial biomass is assumed to have stable chemical composition but observations suggest that it is likely changing with specific growth rate. In this study, a sub-Microbial model is proposed to explicitly represent these composition changes. The model outperforms simpler models in explaining the variability in microbial biomass composition. The results highlight the importance of accurately determining soil microbial biomass and its physiological characteristics for predicting ecosystem development.

Summary: The activities of enzymes involved in soil organic P transformation were rarely measured below a 30 cm depth, despite the presence of substantial P levels in deep soils. This study examined changes in soil microbial biomass and P-cycling enzyme activities with depth across various agricultural land use types. The results showed that enzyme activity and microbial biomass declined with depth, in correlation with changes in organic carbon content. Additionally, the influence of clay content on enzyme activity was more pronounced in certain soil profiles. AcP activity was found to be significantly associated with root biomass and the number of small roots. However, caution is needed when interpreting these findings as other factors, such as mineral fertilization, may also contribute.

Summary: The impact of wood ash on metal uptake and transfer factor of lettuce grown on soil amended with poultry litter, digestate, and its fraction was evaluated. The results showed that wood ash had positive effects on the properties of the amended soil and led to better lettuce productivity, particularly when used with poultry litter. The organic treatments had lower potential toxicity in lettuce compared to inorganic fertilizer. Therefore, wood ash can be used as a nutrient booster for organic fertilizers and an alternative to inorganic fertilizers for leafy vegetables.

Summary: This study investigated the impact of white-rot fungi (WRF) on enhancing phenanthrene catabolism in soil over time. The results showed that soils amended with WRF immobilized on spent brewery grains (SBG) had reduced lag phases and increased mineralization rates of 14C-phenanthrene compared to other WRF amendments. Pleurotus ostreatus and Phanerochaete chrysosporium had a stronger influence on biodegradation, while Trametes versicolor showed the best results among the WRF amendments. Fungal enzyme activities increased in all amended soils and were positively correlated with the mineralization extents of 14C-phenanthrene.

Summary: In this study, a human physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) model of diethyl phthalate (DEP) was developed to assess its toxicity. The model considers the distribution and metabolism of DEP and its active metabolite monoethyl phthalate (MEP) in different tissue compartments. Sensitivity analysis and Bayesian Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) simulations were performed to evaluate the uncertainty and variability of the model parameters. The results suggest that dermal absorption is an important route of exposure to DEP in the environment.

Summary: This study investigates the feasibility and mechanisms of a chemical-free nanobubble-based AOP for treating organic micropollutants in water. The results show that the oxygen nanobubble AOP has a significantly higher removal efficiency compared to air and nitrogen nanobubbles. The treatment performance is not affected by pH and the presence of ions. Higher initial concentrations of the micropollutant lead to slower treatment processes, but similar removal performance is achieved in the end. The presence of organic matter reduces the removal rate of the micropollutant. The results have practical feasibility for water and wastewater treatment.

It was found that increasing the application of thiencarbazone-methyl center dot isoxaflutole resulted in increased stress on soil bacterial community structure and diversity. Increasing soil pH was recognized as a key factor in improving the diversity and structure of soil microflora. Supplemental use of nitrapyrin or modified attapulgite can increase soil pH and improve bacterial diversity.
