Integrated analysis of air quality-vegetation-health effects of near-future air pollution control strategies.

To explore the effects of air pollution control strategies on air quality, vegetation, and health, we conducted an integrated modeling analysis for a representative industrial city, Zibo in the North China Plain, China. Two air pollution control scenarios for the near future (year 2026) are developed, including basic and strict control scenarios. The integrated modeling system based on Weather Research and Forecasting-Community Multiscale Air Quality Modeling (WRF-CMAQ) is utilized to analyze the effects of different scenarios on air quality improvement, vegetation, and health effects.

Synergistic co-evolution of rhizosphere bacteria in response to acidification amelioration strategies: impacts on the alleviation of tobacco wilt and underlying mechanisms.

Soil acidification represents a severe threat to tobacco cultivation regions in South China, exacerbating bacterial wilt caused by . The comprehension of the underlying mechanisms that facilitate the restoration of rhizosphere microbial communities in "healthy soils" is imperative for ecologically managing tobacco bacterial wilt. This study focuses on acidified tobacco soils that have been subjected to continuous cultivation for 20 years.

Investigation into the nocturnal ozone in a typical industrial city in North China Plain, China.

Ozone (O) concentrations usually peak at midday by photochemical reactions and gradually decline after sunset due to chemical destruction and dry deposition. However, an increase in the frequency of elevated nocturnal ozone enhancement (NOE) and high nocturnal ozone value (HNOV) has been frequently observed in urban areas of eastern China, but the reasons are not well understood. In this study, taking a typical industrial city, ZiBo as a case study, we analyzed the trends, characteristics, and causes of the NOE and HNOV events in historical years by combining observations and model simulations.
