Elucidating the endophytic bacterial and fungal community composition and diversity in the tree fern through meta-amplicon sequencing.

Plant tissues harbor abundant endophytes, which are crucial for plant growth. Endophytes present in , which is enriched with medicinal components, have not been isolated and characterized yet. Here we employed meta-amplicon sequencing to identify endophytic species and examined their diversity in the leaves, petioles, roots and stems of .

Magnetic Adsorbent FeO/ZnO/LC for the Removal of Tetracycline and Congo Red from Aqueous Solution.

Zeolitic imidazolate frameworks (ZIFs) can be used as an adsorbent to efficiently adsorb organic pollutants. However, ZIF nanoparticles are easy to form aggregates, hampering the effective and practical application in practical adsorption. In this study, the ZIF-8 was successfully loaded onto lignocellulose (LC) to further produce ZnO/LC by in situ growth method and hydrothermal treatment, and then FeO nanoparticles (FeO NPs) were loaded onto ZnO/LC to prepare magnetic FeO/ZnO/LC adsorbent for removing tetracycline (TC) and congo red (CR) pollutants from aqueous solution.

Analysis of the Antibacterial Properties of Compound Essential Oil and the Main Antibacterial Components of Unilateral Essential Oils.

Plant essential oils are widely used in food, medicine, cosmetics, and other fields because of their bacteriostatic properties and natural sources. However, the bacteriostatic range of unilateral essential oils is limited, and compound essential oil has become an effective way to improve the antibacterial properties of unilateral essential oils. In this study, based on the analysis of the antibacterial properties of Chinese cinnamon bark oil and oregano oil, the proportion and concentration of the compound essential oil were optimized and designed, and the antibacterial activity of the compound essential oil was studied.

Simple ultrasonic integration of shapeable, rebuildable, and multifunctional MIL-53(Fe)@cellulose composite for remediation of aqueous contaminants.

Metal-organic frames (MOFs) have been recognized as one of the best candidates in the remediation of aqueous contaminants, while the fragile powder shape restricts the practical implementation. In this work, a shapeable, rebuildable, and multifunctional MOF composite (MIL-53@CF) was prepared from MIL-53 (Fe) and cellulose fiber (CF) using a simple ultrasonic method for adsorption and photocatalytic degradation of organic pollutants in wastewater. The results showed MIL-53(Fe) crystals were uniformly growth on CF surfaces and bonded with surface nanofibrils of CF through physical crosslinking and hydrogen bonding.

Forest landscape dynamics and their relevance to forest operation factors during 1980-2015 in Sichuan province, China.

Forest landscape change is affected by a complex mix of multiple interacting factors, including the biophysical environment, socioeconomic activities, cultural contexts, and forest management. Here, we investigated the temporal and spatial changes in forested land in Sichuan, China, using forest resource inventory data from 1980 to 2015. The factors that drove forest landscape conversion included environmental and socioeconomic characteristics, and forest operations.

[Spatial analysis of LAIe of montane evergreen broad-leaved forest in southwest Sichuan, Northwest China, based on image texture].

Optical remote sensing is still one of the most attractive choices for obtaining leaf area index (LAI) information, but currently may be derived from remotely sensed data with limited accuracy. Effective leaf area index (LAIe) of montane evergreen broad-leaved forest in southwest Sichuan was inventoried and assessed in 83 sample field plots of 20 m x 20 m using different types of image processing techniques, including simple spectral band, simple spectral band ratios and principal component. Texture information was extracted by gray level co-occurrence matrices (GLCM) from different types of processing image.
