Magnetic phosphorous biochar (MPBC) was prepared from Camellia oleifera shells using phosphoric acid activation and iron co-deposition. The materials were characterized and analyzed through scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffractometry (XRD), specific surface area and pore size analysis (BET), Fourier infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). MPBC had a high surface area (1 139.28 m·g) and abundant surface functional groups, and it could achieve fast solid-liquid separation under the action of an external magnetic field. The adsorption behavior and influencing factors of sulfamethoxazole (SMX) in water were investigated. The adsorbent showed excellent adsorption properties for SMX under acidic and neutral conditions, and alkaline conditions and the presence of CO had obvious inhibition on adsorption. The adsorption process conformed to the quasi-second-order kinetics and Langmuir model. The adsorption rate was fast, and the maximum adsorption capacity reached 356.49 mg·g. The adsorption process was a spontaneous exothermic reaction, and low temperature was beneficial to the adsorption. The adsorption mechanism was mainly the chemisorption of pyrophosphate surface functional groups (C-O-P bond) between the SMX molecule and MPBC and also included hydrogen bonding, π-π electron donor-acceptor (π-πEDA) interaction, and a pore filling effect. The development of MPBC adsorbent provides an effective way for resource utilization of waste Camellia oleifera shells and treatment of sulfamethoxazole wastewater.

Nitrogen leaching is a major pathway of nitrogen fertilizer loss. Although arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi are known to reduce nitrogen leaching by improving plant nitrogen uptake, the soil-based mechanisms remain unclear. A pot experiment was conducted using a randomized complete block design, with four nitrogen levels (0, 3.

, a woody oilseed species endemic to China, often experiences growth constraints due to seasonal drought. This study investigates the coordinated regulation of photosynthetic traits, stomatal behavior, and hormone responses during drought-rehydration cycles in two cultivars with contrasting drought resistance: 'CL53' (tolerant) and 'CL40' (sensitive). Photosynthetic inhibition resulted from both stomatal and non-stomatal limitations, with cultivar-specific differences.

Camellia chekiangoleosa is a significant oil-bearing tree species, known for its high oleic acid content and shorter reproductive cycle compared to traditional oil-tea plants. However, there are few studies on the molecular mechanism and compatibility of the interaction between oil-Camellia scion and rootstock, which poses certain challenges to the cultivation and promotion of oil-Camellia. This study systematically evaluates the effects of hetero-grafting Camellia chekiangoleosa scions onto divergent rootstocks (Camellia chekiangoleosa, Camellia oleifera, and Camellia yuhsienensis).

Lignin represents a promising biomass resource for functional materials; however, its intricate structure poses significant challenges for efficient extraction. Herein, a novel dual-acidic deep eutectic solvent (DADES) composed of ZnCl and lactic acid (1:8 molar ratio) was developed, and which applied to facilitate the rapid extraction of lignin from waste Camellia oleifera shells (WCOS). Notably, this extraction process was significantly enhanced by microwave irradiation.
