401. 题目: Synergistic effect of β-sitosterol and biochar application for improving plant growth of Thymus vulgaris under heat stress Climate change has become the global concern due to its drastic effects on the environment. Agriculture sector is the backbone of food security which remains at the disposal of climate change. Heat stress is the is the most concerning effect of climate change which negatively affect the plant growth and potential yields. The present experiment was conducted to assess the effects of exogenously applied β-sitosterol (Bs at 100 mg/L) and eucalyptus biochar (Eb at 5%) on the antioxidants and nutritional status in Thymus vulgaris under heat stressed conditions. The pot experiment was conducted in completely randomize design in which thymus plants were exposed to heat stress (33 °C) and as a result, plants showed a substantial decline in morpho-physiological and biochemical parameters e.g., a reduction of 59.46, 75.51, 100.00, 34.61, 22.65, and 38.65% was found in plant height, shoot fresh weight, root fresh weight, dry shoot weight, dry root weight and leaf area while in Bs + Eb + heat stress showed 21.16, 56.81, 67.63, 23.09, 12.84, and 35.89% respectively as compared to control. In the same way photosynthetic pigments, transpiration rate, plant nutritional values and water potential increased in plants when treated with Bs and Eb in synergy. Application of Bs and Eb significantly decreased the electrolytic leakage of cells in heat stressed thymus plants. The production of reactive oxygen species was significantly decreased while the synthesis of antioxidants increased with the application of Bs and Eb. Moreover, the application Bs and Eb increased the concentration of minerals nutrients in the plant body under heat stress. Our results suggested that co-application of Bs along with Eb decreased the effect of heat stress by maintaining nutrient supply and enhanced tolerance by increasing the production of photosynthetic pigments and antioxidant activity. | |||||

Highly diversified megafloral assemblages consist 13 genera and 72 species of order Glossopteridales, Cordaitales and Equisetales are documented among which 37 taxa are newly reported from Barakar and Raniganj formations of the area. Palynoassemblages-I and -II are recovered, which demonstrate the biostratigraphic age as Kungurian and Wordian–Capitanian, respectively. Overall the vegetation represents a luxuriant forest subjugated by arborescent deciduous trees bearing Glossopteris foliage with some conifers, cordaites, filicales, and peltaspermales. The biomarker study of the basin illustrates the unimodal distribution of n-alkanes in the sample set ranges from C14 to C29 which suggests major input from a single source of organic matter. The involvement of microbial activity and algal input is suggested for the basin. A relatively moderate-to-high water level condition can be inferred from elevated n-C25. The high CIA, PIA values and A–CN–K plot suggest intense weathering conditions in the source area. The source rocks are characterized by mature clayey type with abundant clay mineral, i.e., kaolinite. The current study portrays that the Permian climate was cooler in initial phase, which later on became warm temperate with high humidity. The palaeofloral entities and geochemical parameters suggest absolute diversification of Permian flora, the existence of continental freshwater setting in the vicinity and oxic to anoxic environment with fluctuating ground water conditions during the deposition of sediments. | |||||

404. 题目: Surface atomic oxygen species mediated the in-situ formation of hydroxyl radicals on Fe3C decorated biochar for enhancing catalytic ozonation Developing highly efficient and anti-interference catalysts was still a challenge for the practical application of heterogeneous catalytic ozonation (HCO) in water decontamination. Herein, a magnetic Fe3C decorated biochar (Fe3C/BC) was prepared for HCO to achieve efficient degradation of 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D). The Fe3C/BC catalytic ozonation system promoted the degradation ratio of 2,4-D from 58.7% (ozonation alone) to 90.0% within 10 mins when the ozone dosage was 1.0 mg/L. And the observed degradation rate constant (kobs) of 2,4-D under catalytic ozonation system was 2.58 times that of ozonation alone. Fe3C/BC exhibited negligible adsorption on 2,4-D but with a significant enrichment to ozone, which realized the cooperating process of “adsorption-catalysis” at the solid–liquid interface, thus avoiding the ineffective decomposition of ozone. The dissociative adsorption of ozone molecules on the surface Fe3C generated surface atomic oxygen species (O* and O2*), which mediated the in-situ formation of hydroxyl radicals (·OH). ATR-FTIR, in-situ Raman, isotope tracing tests, and theoretical calculations were used to disclose the interface reaction processes and reveal the ·OH formation mechanism. Free radical reactions at the interface efficiently avoid the interference of coexisting ions dissolved in water. The presence of 3 mM (183 mg/L) bicarbonate had essentially little effect on the degradation of 2,4-D. The consecutive use of Fe3C/BC did not influence its catalytic performance and stable structure. This study provided new insight into the ·OH-dominated interfacial reaction in the HCO process. | |||||
405. 题目: Chemodiversity transformation of organic matters in a full scale MBR-NF wastewater reclamation plant Membrane bioreactor (MBR) and nanofiltration (NF) process has been attractive in wastewater reclamation, and was set as the target process in this study. Dissolved organic matter (DOM) and trace organic contaminants (TrOCs), closely associated with water safety, are noteworthy pollutants. Though the general DOM characteristics and TrOCs removal in MBR-NF reclamation process have been reported in lab−/pilot-scale experiment, the molecular characteristics of DOM revealed by high resolution mass spectrometry, and the correlation between DOM and TrOCs have been rarely studied in full-scale MBR-NF wastewater reclamation plant. In this work, biological and NF processes contributed significantly to the removal of DOM and TrOCs, while MBR filtration contributed slightly. Spectroscopic analyses revealed that DOM with higher aromaticity and lower molecular weight were more recalcitrant along the treatment. Aromatic protein-like substances were preferentially removed comparing to humic-like substances. Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry was applied to investigate DOM transformation at molecular level. DOM molecules with higher H/C and lower O/C, especially the aliphatics and peptides, were readily biodegraded into higher‑oxygenate, highly unsaturated, and aromatic compounds. The generated species mainly included condensed aromatics, polyphenols, and highly unsaturated compounds. Filtration in MBR tended to reject higher oxygenated molecules. NF effectively removed most of the DOM molecules, especially higher oxygenated molecules with low H, N and S. The residual TrOCs in the NF effluent, including sulfamethoxazole, ofloxacin, and bisphenol A, still displayed above medium environmental risk. Significant correlations were found among organic compounds, spectral indices, and peptides molecules. Positive correlation between most of the TrOCs and several DOM parameters implied that they were synchronously removed in biological and membrane filtration processes. SUVA and FI might be potential indexes in monitoring the performance of MBR-NF process in both DOM and TrOC removal. These findings would expend the understanding of DOM and TrOCs behavior in wastewater reclamation process and simplify an in-depth system monitoring. | |||||
406. 题目: Soil organic matter and nutrient availability affect the applicability of low-carbon energy source in Dehalococcoides-augmented soil Dehalococcoides is a functional microorganism that completely dechlorinates trichloroethene (TCE). Augmentation with pure Dehalococcoides is important for reducing environmental disturbances that accompany bioaugmentation. However, the applicability of Dehalococcoides-bioaugmentation to contaminated soils is unclear. In this study, seven low-carbon energy sources (methanol, formate, acetate, ethanol, lactate, citrate, and benzoate) were used as electron donors for Dehalococcides to evaluate its applicability in remediating TCE-contaminated soils. Soil microcosms supplemented with ethanol, formate, or lactate showed relatively high dechlorination activity within 111–180 days. The functional gene profiles predicted by PICRUSt2 from 16 S rRNA gene sequences were similar in the proportions of dehydrogenases, which initiate electron donor oxidation, in all soils and did not seem to reflect Dehalococcoides-bioaugmentation applicability. Soils with higher organic matter content (>3.2%; dry weight base) and protein concentration (>1.6 µg/mL) supported complete dechlorination. These results suggest that organic matter and nutrient availability mainly affect successful TCE dechlorination in Dehalococcoides-augmented soils. The study offers significant experimental support for comprehending the suitability of low-carbon energy sources in successful bioaugmentation, aiming to mitigate environmental disturbances associated with the process. | |||||
407. 题目: Co-application of biochar and organic amendments on soil greenhouse gas emissions: A meta-analysis Biochar has been shown to reduce soil greenhouse gas (GHG) and increase nutrient retention in soil; however, the interaction between biochar and organic amendments on GHG emissions remain largely unclear. In this study, we collected 162 two-factor observations to explore how biochar and organic amendments jointly affect soil GHG emissions. Our results showed that biochar addition significantly increased soil CO2 emission by 8.62 %, but reduced CH4 and N2O emissions by 27.0 % and 23.9 %, respectively. Meanwhile, organic amendments and the co-application with biochar resulted in an increase of global warming potential based on the 100-year time horizon (GWP100) by an average of 18.3 % and 26.1 %. More importantly, the interactive effect of biochar and organic amendments on CO2 emission was antagonistic (the combined effect was weaker than the sum of their individual effects), while additive on CH4 and N2O emissions. Additionally, our results suggested that when biochar is co-applied with organic amendments, soil GHG emissions were largely influenced by soil initial total carbon, soil texture, and biochar feedstocks. Our work highlights the important interactive effects of biochar and organic amendments on soil GHG emissions, and provides new insights for promoting ecosystem sustainability as well as mitigating future climate change. | |||||
408. 题目: Molecular characterization of dissolved organic matter in urban stormwater pond and municipal wastewater discharges transformed by the Florida red tide dinoflagellate Karenia brevis Karenia brevis blooms occur almost annually in southwest Florida, imposing significant ecological and human health impacts. Currently, 13 nutrient sources have been identified supporting blooms, including nearshore anthropogenic inputs such as stormwater and wastewater outflows. A 21-day bioassay was performed, where K. brevis cultures were inoculated with water sourced from three stormwater ponds along an age gradient (14, 18, and 34 yrs.) and one municipal wastewater effluent sample, with the aim of identifying biomolecular classes and transformations of dissolved organic matter (DOM) compounds used by K. brevis. All sample types supported K. brevis growth and showed compositional changes in their respective DOM pools. Fourier-transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry (FT-ICR MS) catalogued the molecular composition of DOM and identified specific compound classes that were biodegraded. Results showed that K. brevis utilized species across a wide range of compositions that correspond to amino sugars, humic, and lignin-like biomolecular classes. The municipal wastewater and the youngest stormwater pond (SWP 14) effluent contained the largest pools of labile DOM compounds which were bioavailable to K. brevis, which indicates younger stormwater pond effluents may be as ecologically important as wastewater effluents to blooms. Conversely, generation of DOM compounds of greater complexity and a wide range of aromaticity was observed with the older (SWP 18 and SWP 34) stormwater pond treatments. These data confirm the potential for stormwater ponds and/or wastewater to contribute nutrients which can potentially support K. brevis blooms, revealing the need for improved nutrient retention strategies to protect coastal waters from the potential ill effects of urban effluent. | |||||
409. 题目: In-situ retention of nitrogen, phosphorus in agricultural drainage and soil nutrients by biochar at different temperatures and the effects on soil microbial response This study conducted a two-year experiment to investigate the impacts of biochar with various temperatures (350 °C, 500 °C, and 650 °C), on the reduction of pollutants in agricultural runoff and the enhancement of soil fertility. The results showed that the biochar significantly reduced the concentrations of total nitrogen and total phosphorus in farmland runoff. Moreover, higher-temperature biochar demonstrated greater efficacy in decreasing pollutants in farmland drainage. Treatment with RB650 resulted in a reduction of the total nitrogen and total phosphorus output load by 29.31–30.67 % and 21.92–25.21 %, respectively, compared to RB350. Furthermore, biochar exhibited substantial enhancements in soil fertility. This was supported by heightened soil organic matter content, increased availability of nutrients, and a noteworthy (P < 0.05) upsurge in pH, organic matter, total nitrogen, and total phosphorus content observed in the second year following the application of biochar. Biochar has the potential to enhance soil enzyme activity and affect microbial community composition, thereby facilitating nutrient cycling. The findings illustrated the regenerative and recyclable characteristics of biochar's adsorption activity throughout crop growth. This process enables sustained improvement in soil nutrient retention capacity and fertility. Thus, it emphasizes the potential of biochar as an in-situ model for nutrient retention and recycling, offering an effective approach to mitigate agricultural non-point source (NPS) pollution and enhance soil fertility. | |||||
410. 题目: Remediation of pesticides contaminated water using biowastes-derived carbon rich biochar The competition impact and feedstock type on the removal of water pesticides using biochar have not yet been sufficiently investigated. Therefore, here we investigated the potentiality of three different biochars (BCs) derived from rice husk (RHB), date pit (DPB), and sugarcane bagasse (SBB) biowastes for the simultaneous removal of ten pesticides from water in a competitive adsorption system. The BCs structural characterization and morphology were investigated by XRD, FTIR spectroscopy and SEM analysis. The potential adsorption mechanisms have been investigated using various isothermal and kinetic models. RHB showed the highest removal percentages (61% for atrazine/dimethoate and 97.6% for diuron/chlorfenvinphos) followed by DPB (56% for atrazine/dimethoate and 95.4% for diuron/chlorpyrifos) and then SBB (60.8% for atrazine/dimethoate and 90.8% for chlorpyrifos/malathion). The higher adsorption capacity of RHB and DPB than SBB can be due to their high total pore volume and specific surface area (SSA). Langmuir model described well the sorption data (R2 = 0.99). Adsorption equilibrium was achieved after 60 min for RHB, and 120 min for both DPB and SBB. The optimum adsorbent dose (g/L) was 10 for RHB and 4 for DPB and SBB. The removal efficiency of pesticides was enhanced by decreasing pH from 9 to 5 by RHB and to 3 by DPB and SBB. XRD and FTIR spectroscopy confirmed that BCs contain some active adsorption groups and metal oxides such as MgO, SiO, Al2O3, CaO, and TiO2 that can play an effective role in the pesticides sorption. BET-N2 adsorption analysis demonstrated that the BC pore size contributes significantly to pesticide adsorption. These findings indicate that RHB, DPB, and SBB have ability for adsorption of water pesticides even under acidic conditions. Therefore, the rice husk, date pit, and sugarcane bagasse biowastes could be pyrolyzed and reused as effective and low-cost sorbents for elimination of hazardous substances such as pesticides in the aqueous environments. | |||||
411. 题目: Linking the source, molecular composition, and reactivity of dissolved organic matter in major rivers across the pearl river delta Dissolved organic matter (DOM) constitutes a substantial portion of the global carbon cycle and serves as the largest reservoir of reactive carbon on Earth. Studying DOM's sources, molecular compositions, and reactivity is central to understanding the fate and environmental effects of organic carbon, yet, links between DOM composition and reactivity remain to be established. In this study, stable carbon isotopic composition and ultrahigh-resolution Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry (FT-ICR-MS) were combined with degradation experiments to comprehensively study DOM's properties in the major rivers across the Pearl River Delta (PRD) in South China. The increasing δ13C-DOC along the Pearl River at the PRD suggests that terrestrial DOM from upstream was gradually diluted by local processes. Although affected by different interaction patterns of multiple sources, a major component of DOM, enriched in CHO and lignins, is molecularly indistinguishable in different rivers (molecular Bray-Curtis dissimilarity of 15%–31%). The photo-degradation removed 34% (PDOC%) of initial DOM within 14 days, twice that by biodegradation (BDOC%). In contrast to earlier research, the distinctive integration of molecular characterization with DOM degradation kinetics indicates that both regional (common shared molecules) and local (partial shared and unique molecules) derived DOM play a collective role in governing the bio-degradation kinetics of DOM, while the photo-degradation kinetics of DOM are barely correlated to molecular composition. The thorough investigation of DOM molecular composition and its correlation with bulk DOM properties in the PRD region, though requiring further investigation into its mechanisms, offers valuable insights into the role of riverine DOM in coastal hypoxia and the global carbon cycle. | |||||
412. 题目: Efficient removal of both heavy metal ion and dyes from wastewater using magnetic response adsorbent of block polymer brush-grafted N-doped biochar The recovery of biomass from agricultural and forestry waste could realize effective utilization of waste and synthesis of novel adsorbent. Herein, porous biochar was prepared from waste ginkgo biloba leaves and modified by Reversible Addition-Fragmentation Chain Transfer Polymerization (RAFT). And the prepared adsorbent exhibited excellent adsorption capacity owing to its abundant functional groups and porous structure. In addition, the adsorption capacities of the prepared adsorbent for Malachite Green (MG), Amaranth (AM) and Cr (Ⅵ) were 422.59, 373.75 and 368.82 mg/g, respectively, surpassing those of many previously reported materials. Subsequently, the influence of various factors on adsorption performance was studied. The results showed that adsorption of MG, AM and Cr (Ⅵ) on adsorbent followed pseudo-second-order and Langmuir models and the adsorbent also displayed excellent cycling performance. The experimental results of application in various water samples showed that the adsorbent had outstanding adsorption performance in real water samples, further proving that the adsorbent had wide application and practicability. Finally, a simple adsorption column was used for filtration experiments to simulate industrial application. The results were exhibited that the adsorbent had great potential in treating wastewater containing MG, AM and Cr (Ⅵ). | |||||
413. 题目: New insights into the sustainable use of soluble straw humic substances for the remediation of multiple heavy metals in contaminated soil This study addresses the research gap in understanding the differences in straw decomposition and variations in humic substances (HS) extracted from various treatment conditions. The aim is to explore the potential of soluble straw HS in remediating heavy metal pollution in soils. The study characterizes straw decomposition structures using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD), while employing gel permeation chromatography (GPC) and fluorescence spectroscopy (EEM) to analyze the molecular weight and degree of humification of extracted straw HS. The removal efficiency of HS for heavy metals is assessed, with a focus on aerobic humic substances (AE-HS) showing the highest potential for heavy metal removal. Spectral analysis and mass spectrometry analysis reveal the role of phenolic compounds, carboxylic acids, and aromatic compounds in AE-HS, forming humates or complexes to remove heavy metals from contaminated soil. Notably, the optimized AE-HS achieved the highest removal efficiency of 96.18 %, 82.75 %, 60.43 %, and 41.66 % for cadmium, copper, zinc, and lead, respectively. This study provides new insights into the preparation of straw for use as a heavy metal remover and has implications for the use of straw humic substances in soil remediation. | |||||

416. 题目: Ambient black carbon particles in human ovarian tissue and follicular fluid Evidence indicates a link between exposure to ambient air pollution and decreased female fertility. The ability of air pollution particles to reach human ovarian tissue and follicles containing the oocytes in various maturation stages has not been studied before. Particulate translocation might be an essential step in explaining reproductive toxicity and assessing associated risks. Here, we analysed the presence of ambient black carbon particles in (i) follicular fluid samples collected during ovum pick-up from 20 women who underwent assisted reproductive technology treatment and (ii) adult human ovarian tissue from 5 individuals. Follicular fluid and ovarian tissue samples were screened for the presence of black carbon particles from ambient air pollution using white light generation by carbonaceous particles under femtosecond pulsed laser illumination. We detected black carbon particles in all follicular fluid (n=20) and ovarian tissue (n=5) samples. Black carbon particles from ambient air pollution can reach the ovaries and follicular fluid, directly exposing the ovarian reserve and maturing oocytes. Considering the known link between air pollution and decreased fertility, the impact of such exposure on oocyte quality, ovarian ageing and fertility needs to be clarified urgently. | |||||
417. 题目: An integrated framework for improving watershed management planning Proper land use and management (LUM) planning is pivotal to curbing land degradation and ensuring sustainable use of limited watershed resources. Despite decades of research and development efforts, land degradation remains a serious environmental problem in many parts of the world. Issues regarding the sustainability of current LUM initiatives are due to poor linkages between the ecological and socio-economic dimensions of LUM decisions, and an integrated framework allowing LUM interventions to be properly planned and implemented is lacking. In this study, we developed an integrated framework to identify, evaluate, and propose LUM alternatives with ecological and socio-economic benefits. The framework comprises six components: (i) identification of land use problems and setting of objectives, (ii) identification of the best-performing land use-based integrated solutions, (iii) formulation of LUM alternatives and modeling of key indicators, (iv) cost-benefit analysis, (v) evaluation of the LUM alternatives with stakeholders engagement, and (vi) communication of the LUM alternatives to relevant stakeholders to obtain institutional and financial support for implementation. To demonstrate the use of this framework, we conducted a case study in the Aba Gerima watershed of the Upper Blue Nile basin in Ethiopia. This study used extensive plot- and watershed-scale observations (2015–2019) obtained under both conventional and improved sustainable land management practices. We analyzed changes in runoff, soil loss, soil organic carbon (SOC) stock, and land productivity of five LUM alternatives as compared to a baseline scenario (existing farming practices). The results showed that the LUM alternatives reduced runoff by 11–71% and soil loss by 66–95%, and SOC stock and watershed-scale land productivity were improved by 36–104% and 48–134%, respectively. Evaluation of LUM alternatives by stakeholders, including land users, policy makers, and researchers, produced divergent results. In particular, land users prioritized implementation of sustainable land management practices without altering existing land uses. The integrated framework developed in this study can serve as a valuable tool for identifying, evaluating, and proposing LUM alternatives and facilitating decision-making in planning and implementation of LUM practices in watersheds experiencing land degradation. | |||||
418. 题目: The influence of microtopography on soil carbon accumulation and nutrient release from a rewetted coastal peatland Coastal peatlands have been frequently blocked from the sea and artificially drained for agriculture. With an increasing awareness of ecosystem functions, several of these coastal peatlands have been rewetted through dike removal, allowing seawater flooding. In this study, we investigated a recently rewetted peatland on the Baltic Sea coast with the aim to characterize the prevailing soils/sediments with respect to organic matter accumulation and the potential release of nutrients upon seawater flooding. Eighty disturbed soil samples were collected from two depths at different elevations (–0.90 to 0.97 m compared to sea level) and analyzed for soil organic matter (SOM) content and carbon:nitrogen (C:N) ratio. Additionally, nine undisturbed soil cores were collected from three distinct elevation groups and used in leaching experiments with alternating freshwater and Baltic Sea water. The results demonstrated a moderate to strong spatial dependence of surface elevation, SOM content, and C:N ratio. SOM content and C:N ratio were strongly negatively correlated with elevation, indicating that organic matter mineralization was restricted in low-lying areas. The results also showed that the soils at low elevations release more dissolved organic carbon (DOC) and ammonium (NH4+) than soils at high elevations. For soils at low elevations, higher DOC concentrations were observed when flushing with freshwater, whereas higher NH4+ concentrations were found when flushing with brackish water. Recorded NH4+ concentrations in organic-rich peat reached 14.82 ± 9.25 mg L–1, exceeding Baltic seawater (e.g., 0.03 mg L–1) by two orders of magnitude. A potential sea level rise may increase the export of NH4+ from low-lying and rewetted peat soils to the sea, impacting adjacent marine ecosystems. Overall, in coastal peatlands, geochemical processes (e.g., C and N cycling and release) are closely linked to microtopography and related patterns of organic matter content of the soil and sediments. | |||||
419. 题目: Intrinsic mechanism for the removal of antibiotic pollution by a dual coagulation process from the perspective of the interaction between NOM and antibiotic Antibiotics bring potential risks to human health and ecosystem, and their coexistence with natural organic matters (NOMs) could have harmful impacts on the environment. Herein, a polyaluminium chloride (PAC)-polydimethyl diallyl ammonium chloride (PDMDAAC) dual coagulation process was designed to remove the co-pollutants of chlortetracycline (CTC) and humic acid (HA), representing antibiotics and NOMs, respectively. The main research strength was given to understand molecular interactions and their mechanisms associated with the coagulation and flocculation. We found that the co-existing HA and CTC increased the hydrophily and stability of contaminants, and generated HA@CTC complexes with large particles size. The interaction mechanism between CTC and HA was mainly hydrogen bonding, hydrophobic association action, n-π* electron donor-acceptor interaction, and π-π* conjugation. Lewis acid-base interaction was the main force between HA and CTC. The bonding energies of O-H…N, O-H…O, and hydrophobic association were -12.2 kcal/mol, -13.1 kcal/mol, and -11.4 kcal/mol, respectively, indicating that hydrogen bonding was stronger than hydrophobic association. The interactions between HA and CTC could improve their removal efficiency in the coagulation process. This is due to that the functional groups (-COOH and -OH) in the HA@CTC could be adsorbed by Al based hydrolysates. Polar interaction dominated the CTC and HA removal, and PAC was more efficient than PDMDAAC to remove HA@CTC complexes due to its higher complexing capacity. Thanks to the low concentration of residual contaminants and the formation of large and loose flocs, the interaction of HA and CTC could alleviate membrane fouling during ultrafiltration process. This study will provide new insight into the efficient removal of combined pollution and membrane fouling control. | |||||
420. 题目: Soil organic nitrogen content and composition in different wetland habitat types along the south-east coast of China Soil organic nitrogen (SON) turnover regulates soil nitrogen (N) storage and availability. The coastal mudflats (MFs) in China have undergone drastic transformation due to invasive Spartina alterniflora (SAs) and subsequent reclamation of Spartina marshes to create aquaculture ponds (APs), but the impact on the amounts and compositions of soil nitrogen remains unclear. This study measured the topsoil total nitrogen (STN) and organic nitrogen (SON) compositions in 21 coastal wetlands in southeastern China. Results show that conversion of MFs to SAs increased STN by 38.5%, whereas subsequent conversion to APs decreased it by 16.4%, and the effect was consistent across the broad geographic and climate gradients. Most of the change occurred in the non-acid-hydrolysable fraction of SON, which accounted for 32–42% of STN. Within the acid-hydrolysable fraction, amino acid N, ammonia N and amino sugar N together accounted for about 57%, with the remaining 43% unidentified chemically. Our results suggest that invasion by S. alterniflora was the overwhelming driver to increase bioavailability of nitrogen and related biogeochemical processes in coastal soil, and the effects were partly reversed in subsequent reclamation of Spartina marshes to create aquaculture ponds. | |||||
