Constructed wetland is a common measure for water purification and biodiversity conservation, but the mechanism of carbon storage is still unclear. Here, we researched the content and composition of soil organic carbon (SOC) and the influencing factors in surface sediment in surface flow constructed wetlands (SFCW) and subsurface flow constructed wetlands (SSFCW). Results showed that the content and storage of SOC in SSFCW were significantly higher than those in SFCW. However, the higher proportion of light fraction organic carbon (LFOC) and lower proportion of heavy fraction organic carbon (HFOC) in SSFCW indicated that SSFCW had less stable organic carbon storage than SFCW. The composition of SOC in the two types of constructed wetlands was mainly affected by total nitrogen, which suggesting carbon-nitrogen coupling in constructed wetlands. The abundant microbial species in SSFCW and their positive correlation with SOC could explain the higher carbon storage in SSFCW than in SFCW. In addition, plant biomass was the principle factor limiting LFOC proportion in SFCW, while it was moisture content in SSFCW. The study has important implications for understanding and management of ecological function of carbon sequestration in contrasted wetlands, and also provides a special perspective to understand the carbon storage mechanism in wetlands.

The antibiotic contamination in aquatic environments, particularly in aquaculture systems, poses substantial risks to ecological balance and human health. To address this issue, we engineered a novel ratiometric fluorescent probe utilizing dual-emission carbon dots (D-CDs) synthesized from sustainable biomass carrot and nitrogen-rich precursors (melamine and o-phenylenediamine) through an efficient one-pot hydrothermal approach. The D-CDs exhibited dual emission peaks at 425nm and 540 nm under 370nm excitation.

The aim of the study was to reduce the chemical fertilizers with microbial inoculant-rich vermicompost, which enhanced the growth, flowering, and soil health of the tuberose crop. A total of six treatments were applied with reducing doses of synthetic fertilizers under a factorial randomized design and replicated thrice. In this study, vermicompost (VC) made from cow dung and vegetable waste utilizing Eisenia foetida and their mixed biomass were enriched with microbial inoculants and assessed for their impact on microbial and enzymatic populations including urease, acid phosphatase activity and dehydrogenase activity in soil, nutrient availability, and tuberose development and flowering.

Low-temperature rechargeable batteries face great challenges due to the sluggish reaction kinetics. Redox covalent organic frameworks (COFs) with porous structures provide a viable solution to accelerate the ionic diffusion and reaction kinetics at low temperatures. However, the applications of COFs in low-temperature batteries are still at their infancy stage.

Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are carbon-based chemicals characterized by high vapor pressure and low boiling points under standard temperature and pressure conditions. VOCs are categorized as exogenous or endogenous, depending on their source. Endogenous VOCs are metabolic byproducts eliminated via respiration.

Urea photosynthesis from CO and N has profound environmental and energy implications. However, the simultaneous activation of CO and N, along with the promotion of C─N bond formation, remains a major challenge. Herein, the asymmetric interfacial sites (Zn─O─Ti) were engineered by building oxygen atom bridges between ZIF-8 and MIL-125 to enable efficient photocatalytic urea synthesis.
