With this study, we aimed to determine how elevated CO(2) affects rhizodeposition and the cycling of rhizodeposited nitrogen (N) in the soil under C(3) and C(4) plants. In addition, we examined how cultivated genotypes of wheat (Triticum turgidum) and maize (Zea mays) responded to elevated CO(2) in comparison with their wild relatives. By constructing an N-transfer experiment we could directly assess cycling of the rhizodeposited N and trace the fate of rhizodeposited N in the soil and in receiver plants. Biomass production, rhizodeposition and cycling of root-borne N in maize genotypes were not affected by elevated CO(2). Elevated CO(2) stimulated above- and below-ground biomass production of the wheat genotypes on average by 38%, and increased rhizodeposition and immobilization of root-derived N on average by 30%. Concurrently, elevated CO(2) reduced mineral (15)N and re-uptake of the root-derived N by 50% in wheat. This study shows that elevated CO(2) may enhance N limitation by increasing N rhizodeposition and subsequent immobilization of the root-derived N.

Background And Aims: Since the Industrial Revolution, rising atmospheric CO₂, warming, and more frequent droughts have significantly impacted ecosystems. While the response of leaf functional traits to these climate change factors have been widely studied, reproductive traits remain relatively understudied, despite their key role in the diversification and distribution of flowering plants. Here, we investigated how elevated CO₂, warming, drought, and their interactions affect floral, leaf and seed traits in two model grassland species.

Hard carbon (HC) has emerged as a promising anode material for sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) owing to its superior sodium storage performance. However, the high cost of conventional HC precursors remains a critical challenge. To address this, coal─a low-cost, carbon-rich precursor─has been explored for HC synthesis.

is a thermophilic acetogenic bacterium capable of thriving at elevated temperatures up to 66°C. It metabolizes carbohydrates such as glucose, mannose, and fructose and can also grow lithotrophically utilizing hydrogen (H) and carbon dioxide (CO) or carbon monoxide (CO), with acetate serving as its main product. A simple and efficient genome editing system for would not only facilitate the understanding of the physiological function of enzymes involved in energy and carbon metabolism but also enable metabolic engineering.

Background: Since 2019, COVID-19 has substantially impacted global public health. Although pediatric cases generally manifest with mild symptoms, severe and even fatal outcomes have occurred. Despite the decreased viral transmissibility and pathogenicity observed in the post-pandemic era, identifying early clinical indicators for severe pediatric COVID-19 remains crucial.

Waste biomass has aroused increasing interest in the production of low-cost materials for CO adsorption and supercapacitors. One of the primary facets in this regard is to develop nanoporous carbons with controlled porosity and high surface area. Herein, waste wood chips are used to synthesize nanoporous biocarbons via a solid-state KOH-based chemical activation.
