Nitrous oxide (N 2 O) is a greenhouse gas of global significance and a fundamental product of nitrogen cycling in soils. This review surveys new and classical research that has uncovered the biological basis for nitrous oxide production as part of nitrification, denitrification, and nitrate ...
Decomposers clean up the dead material by decomposition process, and returning the nutrient to the soil nutrient is required for the producer. Decomposers maintain the whole biogeochemical cycle of an ecosystem. If the decomposition is damaged or dies, the whole ecosystem is affected. Decomposers deco...
Decomposition pressures for the reaction NpN(s) = Np(l) + 0.5N2(g) in the temperature range 2210-2830° are presented. NpN melts congruently at 2830 ± 30° under a nitrogen pressure of about 10 atm. An equation, log p (atm) = 8.193 - [(29.54 × 103)/T] + 7.87 × ...
Decomposition is one of Earth’s most foundational processes, sustaining life through the recycling of dead biological material1,2. This resource conversion is critical for fuelling core ecosystem functions, such as plant productivity and soil respiration. Microbial networks underpin organic matter breakdo...
Knowledge about global patterns of the decomposition kinetics of distinct soil organic matter (SOM) pools is crucial to robust estimates of land-atmosphere carbon fluxes under climate change. However, the current Earth system models often adopt globally-consistent reference SOM decomposition rates (kref...
Phaeocystis often dominates spring and summer blooms after diatoms have peaked in the coastal North Sea [6], where they can account for up to 65% of the annual primary production [7]. Primary production by marine phytoplankton is not constant but culminates during phytoplankton blooms. Such ...
The 5 %BaCoO3-CeO2 sample remains NTN2 71.1 % at 800 °C in the presence of 1 vol% O2. In BaCoO3-CeO2 sample, BaCoO3 is proved as the primary active sites to adsorb NO, while CeO2 improves the reducibility, oxygen mobility and sintering resistance [20]. The morphology of...
of time series, computation will be a big challenge for Desktop computer users. We suggest first testing BEAST on a single time series or small image chips first to determine whether BEAST is appropriate for your applications and, if yes, estimate how long it may take to process the whole ...
the ratio of lignin to nitrogen (N) is another conventionally important predictor of litter decomposition, but it may also have different relationships with lignin, litter or SOC decomposition. Greater litter N content may increase lignin and litter decomposition by alleviating microbial N limitation1,...
In this paper, activated carbons with different textural properties and surface chemistry have been used to study the influence of these properties on the efficiency of methane decomposition. It has been shown that the initial reaction rate of decomposition is related to the surface chemistry of the...
