Different vegetation types may affect the accumulation and transformation of soil organic carbon (SOC), but it is unclear whether the organic carbon fixation is realized by litter input and/or root control of environmental factors and dissolved organic matter (DOM) of soils. In this study, the spatial distribution characteristics of easily oxidizable organic carbon (EOC), dissolved organic carbon (DOC), particulate organic carbon (POC), mineral-bound organic carbon (MAOC), and their seasonal variations in the surface soil (0-10 cm) were studied in different vegetation zones of the arbor forest (at the upper position), the mixed forest of arbor and shrub (at the middle position), and the waterfront vegetation (at the bottom position) in the ecological embankment of Duliujian River, Tianjin, China. The spatial distribution characteristics of soil DOM components and their seasonal changes were also analyzed by combining UV-visible spectroscopy and 3D fluorescence spectroscopy.

Changes in soil organic carbon (SOC) are of great importance to the evolution of soil quality. The distribution characteristics of soil organic carbon (SOC), easily oxidizable organic carbon (EOC), dissolved organic carbon (DOC), and particulate organic carbon (POC) were investigated in the 0-50 cm soil layer of the , , and communities of the supratidal zone in the Yellow River Delta as the research subjects. Then, the composition and sources of soil dissolved organic matter (DOM) were analyzed based on the UV-vis spectroscopy, three-dimensional excitation emission matrix spectroscopy, and parallel factor analysis (PARAFAC).

Saline-alkali land, as one of the farmland problems that seriously threatens grain yield in the 21st century, is widely distributed and has great potential for development. Biochar is a relatively efficient novel soil amendment, which can play an important role in alleviating the soil acid-base barrier, soil pollution control, carbon sequestration, and fertilizer slow release and has a great prospect in promoting sustainable agricultural development. In recent years, the research and application of biochar to improve saline-alkali soil have attracted much attention.

Bacterial communities are highly sensitive to environmental changes, but their metabolic functions may be convergent under similar ecological conditions. In order to test this environmental attribute of the bacterial community and verify the feasibility in using the bacterial metabolic data to divide functional units at the river basin scale, the surface sediments in three continuous spatial units of the main stream (MS), left tributary (LT), and right tributary (RT) of the Duliujian River basin were selected as the research objects. Therefore, 16S rDNA high-throughput sequencing and the PICRUSt platform were used to analyze the bacterial diversity and metabolic function of sediments in different units.

Soil enzymes play key roles in the construction and succession of coastal wetland communities, while the driving mechanism of their activities under water and salt stress conditions is still unclear. The activities and distributions of sucrase, phosphatase, catalase, and urease in the rhizosphere and non-rhizosphere soils of , , and communities were studied in the Yellow River Delta. Moreover, the changes in soil enzyme activities and their influencing factors during the succession of halophytic plant communities were discussed in combination with changes in the physicochemical properties of soil.

Nutrients may affect the invasiveness of alien plants and the invasibility of native plant communities. We performed a greenhouse experiment to investigate the interactive effect of invasion by a clonal herb Hydrocotyle vulgaris and nutrient enrichment on biomass and evenness of native plant communities. We established three types of plant communities (H.

By using a Li-6400 portable photosynthesis system, this paper measured the maximal photosynthetic capacity (P(max)) and water use efficiency (WUE) of the seedlings or saplings of 150 species of tropical montane rainforest in Hainan Island. The results showed that among the test 150 species, Quercus bambusifolia (Fagaceae) had the highest P(max) (13.27 micromol x m(-2) x s(-1)) and Macaranga denticulate (Euphorbiaceae) had the highest WUE (5.
