[Impact of Differences in Vegetation Cover on Soil Organic Carbon Composition and Stability in Caohai].

Soil organic carbon （SOC） stability and carbon sequestration potential can be affected by vegetation cover. The Caohai in Guizhou is a typical plateau freshwater wetland ecosystem at the same latitude as other regions worldwide. The study focused on the soils from Caohai and selected five types of vegetation cover, including forest land, cultivated land, grassland, reeds, and tidal flats.

Characteristics of Bacterial Community Structure and Function in Artificial Soil Prepared Using Red Mud and Phosphogypsum.

The preparation of artificial soil is a potential cooperative resource utilization scheme for red mud and phosphogypsum on a large scale, with a low cost and simple operation. The characteristics of the bacterial community structure and function in three artificial soils were systematically studied for the first time. Relatively rich bacterial communities were formed in the artificial soils, with relatively high abundances of bacterial phyla (e.

Simulation of red mud/phosphogypsum-based artificial soil engineering applications in vegetation restoration and ecological reconstruction.

Red mud and phosphogypsum are two of the most typical bulk industrial solid wastes. How they can be efficiently recycled as resources on a large scale and at low costs has always been a global issue that urgently needs to be solved. By constructing a small-scale test site and preparing two types of artificial soils using red mud and phosphogypsum, this study simulated their engineering applications in vegetation restoration and ecological reconstruction.

Effect of red mud addition on tetracycline and copper resistance genes and microbial community during the full scale swine manure composting.

Swine manure has been considered as the reservoir of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs). Composting is one of the most suitable technologies for treating livestock manures, and red mud was proved to have a positive effect on nitrogen conservation during composting. This study investigated the abundance of eight tetracycline and three copper resistance genes, the bacterial community during the full scale swine manure composting with or without addition of red mud.

[Emission of CH4, N2O and NH3 from vegetable field applied with animal manure composts].

Greenhouse gas (GHG) emission from vegetable land is of great concern recently because agriculture land is one of the major sources contributing to global GHG emission. In this study, an experiment of Lactuca sativa L. land applied with different animal manure composts was carried out in a greenhouse vegetable land located in the surburb of Beijing to monitor the emission of GHG (CH4 and N2O) and ammonia in situ, and to analyze the affecting factors of GHG and ammonia emission.

[Effects of turning frequency on emission of greenhouse gas and ammonia during swine manure windrow composting].

It is of great concern for greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction of animal manure management in China due to the extreme lack of GHG emission data during animal manure composting. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of turning frequency on the emission of GHG (CH4, N2O) and NH3 during swine manure windrow composting through on-site observation of a full scale test in Beijing. Results showed that the turning frequency had significant impacts on the emission of both GHG and ammonia, which did not only increase the emission of GHG and ammonia, but also increased the percentage of total nitrogen loss due to NH3 emission (42.
