The nitrogen cycle is the biogeochemical by which converted into multiple chemical forms as it circulates among atmospheric, terrestrial, and marine ecosystems, conversion of can be carried out through both biological physical processes. Important processes in include fixation, ammonification, nitrification, denitrification. majority Earth's atmosphere (78%) atmospheric nitrogen, making largest source nitrogen. However, has limited availability for use, leading to a scarcity usable many types ecosystems. particular interest ecologists because affect rate key ecosystem processes, including primary production decomposition. Human activities such fossil fuel combustion, use artificial fertilizers, release wastewater have dramatically altered global cycle. modification negatively natural environment system also human health.

Monitoring of Nitrogen Concentration in Soybean Leaves at Multiple Spatial Vertical Scales Based on Spectral Parameters

Plants, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 13(1), P. 140 - 140

Published: Jan. 4, 2024

Nitrogen is a fundamental component for building amino acids and proteins, playing crucial role in the growth development of plants. Leaf nitrogen concentration (LNC) serves as key indicator assessing plant development. Monitoring LNC provides insights into absorption utilization from soil, offering valuable information rational nutrient management. This, turn, contributes to optimizing supply, enhancing crop yields, minimizing adverse environmental impacts. Efficient non-destructive estimation paramount importance on-field Spectral technology, with its advantages repeatability high-throughput observations, feasible method obtaining data. This study explores responsiveness spectral parameters soybean at different vertical scales, aiming refine management soybeans. research collected hyperspectral reflectance data leaf layers Three types parameters, nitrogen-sensitive empirical indices, randomly combined dual-band “three-edge” were calculated. Four optimal index selection strategies constructed based on correlation coefficients between each layer. These included combinations (Combination 1), 2), parameter 3), mixed combination 4). Subsequently, these four used input variables build models soybeans scales using partial least squares regression (PLSR), random forest (RF), backpropagation neural network (BPNN). The results demonstrated that reached highest values upper leaves, most showing significant correlations (p < 0.05). Notably, reciprocal difference (VI6) exhibited upper-layer 0.732, wavelength 841 nm 842 nm. In constructing layers, accuracy gradually improved increasing height layer best performance, validation set coefficient determination (R2) was higher by 9.9% 16.0% compared other layers. RF estimating LNC, R2 6.2% 8.8% models. RMSE lower 2.1% 7.0%, MRE 4.7% 5.6% Among combinations, Combination 4 achieved accuracy, 2.3% 13.7%. conclusion, employing input, model 0.856, 0.551, 10.405%. findings this provide technical support remote sensing monitoring LNCs spatial scales.

Biochar as a Soil amendment: implications for soil health, carbon sequestration, and climate resilience

Discover Soil., Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 2(1)

Published: March 3, 2025

Abstract Biochar, a carbon-rich material produced through the pyrolysis of organic biomass, has gained increasing attention as sustainable soil amendment due to its potential enhance health, improve agricultural productivity, and mitigate climate change. This review explores multifaceted benefits biochar, including ability sequester carbon for long periods, thereby reducing atmospheric greenhouse gases. Biochar’s unique properties, such porous structure, high cation exchange capacity, nutrient retention capabilities, significantly fertility, water-holding microbial activity. These improvements increase crop resilience against drought, erosion, loss, supporting climate-resilient systems. Additionally, biochar’s application can lower nitrous oxide methane emissions from soils, further contributing change mitigation. However, effectiveness biochar is influenced by factors feedstock type, conditions, rates. Understanding these variables crucial optimizing biochar's use in different types environmental conditions.

The application of exogenous organic carbon represents a significant strategy for enhancing soil fertility and promoting sustainable agricultural development. This approach modifies the physicochemical properties influences microbial community structures, consequently improving crop yield quality. Nevertheless, mechanisms underlying responses to various forms active remain poorly understood require further investigation. A 1-year follow-up experiment was conducted examine effects different sources on quality cut roses, along with characteristics bacterial community. results indicated that applying fertiliser biochar significantly enhanced productivity demonstrating sustained growth-promoting effect. Organic provides more active, readily oxidisable compared biochar. In contrast, supplies stable carbon, including inert is difficult oxidise, firm (FOC), total which has high degree humification exceeds fertiliser. not only altered abundance, diversity, composition rhizosphere but also enriched beneficial microorganisms. Redundancy analysis FOC, available phosphorus, matter were primary factors influencing this study demonstrated exerted positive indirect by communities.
