The effect of different fertilizers on the δ(15)N value, nitrate concentration, and nitrate reductase activity of Brassica campestris and the δ(15)N value of soil has been investigated through a pot experiment. The δ(15)N mean value of B. campestris at the seedling stage observed in the composted chicken treatment (+8.65‰) was higher than that of chemical fertilizer treatment (+5.73‰), compost-chemical fertilizer (+7.53‰), and control check treatment (+7.86‰). There were significantly different δ(15)N values (p < 0.05) between B. campestris cultivated with composted chicken manure treatment and with chemical fertilizer treatment. The similar results were also found at the middle stage and the terminal stage. The variation of δ(15)N value in soil for different treatments was smaller than that of B. campestris, which was +6.71-+8.12‰, +6.83-+8.24‰, and +6.85-8.4‰, respectively, at seedling stage, middle stage, and terminal stage. With the growth of B. campestris, the nitrate content decreased in all treatments, and the nitrate reductase activity in B. campestris increased except for the CK. Results suggested that the δ(15)N values of B. campestris and soil were more effected by the fertilizer than by the dose level, and the δ(15)N value analysis could be used as a tool to discriminate the B. campestris cultivated with composted manure or chemical fertilizer.

Evaluating export vulnerability through import demand elasticity in carbon border adjustment contexts: a focus on Türkiye.

Import demand elasticity (IDE) is a critical metric often employed to guide government decisions regarding tariffs and non-tariff barriers, ensuring that foreign trade remains uninterrupted while optimizing tax revenues. This study, however, leverages IDE to assess the impact of the carbon border adjustment mechanism (CBAM) on Türkiye's decarbonization process. Specifically, the research analyzed the total export quantities and unit prices of four product groups-cement, fertilizers, and inorganic chemicals, steel and iron, and aluminum-exported from Türkiye to the European Union-27 countries under the CBAM framework between 2002 and 2021.

The increasing need for sustainable agricultural practices due to the overuse of chemical fertilizers has prompted interest in microalgae as biofertilizers. This review investigates the potential of microalgae as biofertilizers and phycoremediators within sustainable agroecosystems, addressing both soil fertility and wastewater management. Microalgae provide a dual benefit by absorbing excess nutrients and contaminants from wastewater, generating nutrient-rich biomass that can replace chemical fertilizers and support plant growth.

Calcite (CaCO), a common component of calcium-based fertilizers, has been recognized for its effectiveness as a cadmium (Cd) immobilization agent in the solidification/stabilization (S/S) method. This strategy is a widely used chemical remediation technique aimed at reducing the bioavailability and toxicity of Cd in contaminated soils. This study comprehensively evaluated the potential of calcite for Cd remediation through geochemical analyses, including adsorption isotherms, saturation index, ion concentration changes, and X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis.

Sustainable agricultural practices are essential to meet food demands for the increased population while minimizing the environmental impact. Considering rice as staple food for most of the world's population, it requires innovative approaches to ensure sustainable production. In this paper, we create a hypothesis that integrated nutrient management (INM) acts as a source of energy for microbes and improves the physical, chemical and biological properties of soils, but the current understanding of how soil microbiomes interact in integrated nutrient management toward mediating climate stress to support sustainable rice crop production is limited.
