A 28-day leaching-decomposition experiment was conducted to study the effects of microbial activity and leaching on the initial decomposition of Calamagrostis angustifolia litters taken from the boggy meadow and meadow in Sanjiang Plain of China. The results showed that the mass loss of the litters at their initial decomposition stage accounted for 59% and 22% of yearly mass loss, respectively, and the remaining dry mass decreased significantly after 28-day decomposition. By the end of the experiment, the N content in the litters decreased by 32.65% and 24.55% , and P content decreased by 36.71% and 45.15%, respectively. The N and P contents in the litters treated with chloroform were higher than those of the control, but the difference was not significant. No significant difference was also observed in the N and P release from the litters to the leachates between the treatment of chloroform and CK, which indicated that the initial decomposition of the litters was mainly affected by leaching. There was no significant difference in the decomposition rate and nutrient loss rate between the two litters.

Dissolved oxygen (DO) is essential for the health of aquatic ecosystems, supporting biogeochemical cycles and the decomposition of organic matter. However, continuous untreated external inputs from illicit discharges or sewer overflows, coupled with inadequate ecological base flow, have led to widespread river deoxygenation and serious ecological crises. This study demonstrates that chlorinated wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) effluent can significantly enhance DO levels in downstream rivers, particularly in areas with high pollution loads or poor ecological base flow.

There are many problems in the direct combustion of biomass, such as low combustion efficiency and easy slagging. In this paper, rice husk (RH) was taken as the research object, and the effects of different washing pretreatment conditions (washing time (WTI), washing temperature (WTE), and particle size) on the combustion characteristics and ash formation characteristics were discussed. The results show that the combustion characteristics of RH were significantly coupling-affected by the WTE and WTI, and the comprehensive characteristics of volatile release were significantly coupling-affected by the particle size and WTI.

Dendritic cells (DCs) play a crucial role in initiating antitumor immune responses. However, in the tumor environment, dendritic cells often exhibit impaired antigen presentation and adopt an immunosuppressive phenotype, which hinders their function and reduces their ability to efficiently present antigens. Here, a dual catalytic oxide nanosponge (DON) doubling as a remotely boosted catalyst and an inducer of programming DCs to program immune therapy is reported.
