A soil column experiment was conducted to investigate the leaching characteristics of nitrogen and phosphorus in inorganic compound fertilizer from latosolic red soil in South China. The results revealed that the leaching loss of soil total nitrogen (TN), NH4+ -N and NO3-N was increased with increasing application rate of inorganic compound fertilizer, and 36.8%-49.2% of fertilizer nitrogen was lost with leaching water. The regression equation of TN loss (y) and N application rate (x) was y = 0. 3667x + 66. 483 (R2 = 0.992). TN and NH4+ -N losses mainly occurred in the first 5 leaching events, while NO3- -N loss continued to be significant till the 9th leaching event. Fertilization rate had no obvious impact on soil dissolved phosphorus (DP), but the leaching loss of total phosphorus (TP) and particulate phosphorus (PP) was increased with increasing fertilization rate. The fertilizer phosphorus loss was within the range of 0.002%-0.01%, and the regression equation of TP loss (y) and P application rate (x) was y = 7e(-5)x + 0.0538 (R2 = 0.931). Quite different from that of N, the leaching loss of P was a slow and continuous process. Both the leaching loss of NO3- -N / NH4+ -N and of DP/PP was decreased with increasing fertilization rate.

Yukon Strategy for Patient-Oriented Research (YSPOR), Whitehorse, Yukon, Canada.

The perspectives of Yukon's nurses and physicians can determine what might mitigate burnout and strengthen the response to the COVID-19 pandemic and/or future health emergencies. The study was conducted in the Yukon Territory, Canada in two phases: completion of the Copenhagen Burnout Inventory (CBI), and in-depth oral interviews. This paper will discuss the results of the interviews.

Ionic liquid (IL) units in heterogeneous catalysts exhibit synergistic effects to enhance catalytic performance and stabilize catalytically active centers, while also preventing the degradation of catalysts during the reaction process. Ionic liquid units in IL-functionalized CMOF catalysts enhance their catalytic performance in a synergistic manner. However, not only are the yields of IL-functionalized CMOFs obtained with post-synthesis methods low, but they also lead to blocking of the MOF pores and leaching of the ionic liquid.

Forest fertilization is a forest management practice that is often claimed to increase productivity in boreal forests. Although regarded as an efficient way to increase profitability, it is also costly, and associated with risks such as biodiversity loss and nitrogen leaching from the soil. To be both cost-efficient and sustainable, potential enhanced productivity due to fertilization should be balanced against the adverse environmental impact.

Environmental impact and carbon recovery in coal gasification slag after Separation-Oxidation-Acid washing (SOA) process.

J Environ Manage

Tianjin Key Laboratory of Environmental Technology for Complex Trans-Media Pollution, College of Environmental Science and Engineering, Nankai University, Tianjin, 300350, China. Electronic address:

Coal gasification slag (CGS) is a challenging solid waste due to the presence of highly toxic heavy metals, which pose significant risks to environmental and human health. CGS cannot be freely reused or disposed of, creating considerable obstacles to solid waste resource utilization. This study presents a novel method for heavy metal removal from CGS through a separation-oxidation-acid washing (SOA) process, which effectively recycles residual carbon (RC) while minimizing the risk of heavy metal leakage.

Dynamic transformation and leaching processes of nitrogen in a karst agricultural soil under simulated rainfall conditions.

Institute of Surface-Earth System Science, School of Earth System Science, Tianjin University, Tianjin 300072, China.

Frequent exchange of surface water and groundwater in karst agricultural areas results in soil nutrient loss during rainfall and consequent deterioration of the aquatic environment. To understand nitrogen (N) transformation and leaching processes from karst soil during rainfall events, two typical N fertilizers were added to karst soil and consequently investigated the nitrogenous species using soil column experiments system. The contents of various N forms in the soil and leachate were analyzed, and the net nitrification and the N leaching rates were calculated.
