Temporal variation of soil phosphorus fractions and nutrient stoichiometry during wetland restoration: Implications for phosphorus management.

Wetland restoration can promote the recovery of ecosystem services. However, an increasing number of reports indicate that phosphorus leaching risk occurs in downstream water bodies during the early stages of agricultural utilized wetland restoration, it is unclear that whether this phenomenon depend on temporal dynamics. Therefore, in this study, we used soil phosphorus fractions and stoichiometry as indicators to investigate soil phosphorus leaching and examine their evolution during both short- and long-term wetland restoration, aiming to identify the key driving factors.

An Er-Doped CsNaScCl Lead-Free Double Perovskite with Efficient Broadband Visible to Near-Infrared Emission and Multimodal Upconversion Luminescence.

Lanthanide ions are widely used as dopants for halide perovskites for their broad energy level coverage from the visible to near-infrared (NIR) range. In this work, CsNaScCl:Er was synthesized by an improved solid-state reaction method, which showed effective NIR emission under ultraviolet excitation. Through calculations based on density functional theory and Bader charge analysis, it is shown that [ErCl] octahedra show a strong localization effect in the CsNaScCl:Er lattice, which is conducive to the charge transfer process of Cl-Er, and charge transfer sensitization is responsible for the efficient visible to NIR luminescence of Er, where the NIR emission around λ = 1540 nm originated from the Er:I → I transition with an ultrahigh photoluminescence quantum yield that reached ∼28.

Early-life noise exposure causes cognitive impairment in a sex-dependent manner by disrupting homeostasis of the microbiota-gut-brain axis.
