Carbon, nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium in the soil are the necessary nutrient elements for plant growth, and their contents and ecological stoichiometry can reflect the status of soil quality and nutrient limitation. The Huayuankou Yellow River Floating Bridge Wetland in the lower Yellow River was selected as the research object. The methods of ANOVA, redundancy analysis, and linear regression fitting were used to study the contents of organic carbon (SOC), total nitrogen (TN), total phosphorus (TP), total potassium (TK), alkaline nitrogen (AN), available phosphorus (AP), available potassium (AK), and their ecological stoichiometric ratios as well as the limiting elements of soil nutrients, and the key physicochemical properties that affect soil nutrients and their ecological stoichiometry in the wetland were revealed.

- Solution phosphorus-31 nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (31P-NMR) is a cutting-edge method for analyzing organic phosphorus in sediments.
- This study focused on optimizing the sample preparation for 31P-NMR, testing factors like sample treatment, extraction duration, and sample-to-extractant ratios.
- Findings indicated that air-dried samples provided better phosphorus recovery than fresh ones, with most phosphorus being extracted within the first 8 hours, while a 1:8 sediment to extractant ratio yielded more clear spectral signals compared to a 1:20 ratio.
Objectives: To obtain the full-length cDNA sequence of Secoisolariciresinol Dehydrogenase gene from Dysosma versipellis by RACE PCR,then investigate the character of Secoisolariciresinol Dehydrogenase gene.
Methods: The full-length cDNA sequence of Secoisolariciresinol Dehydrogenase gene was obtained by 3'-RACE and 5'-RACE from Dysosma versipellis.
Results: We first reported the full cDNA sequences of Secoisolariciresinol Dehydrogenase in Dysosma versipellis.
