AI Article Synopsis
- Tobacco-rice rotation is a prevalent farming system in south China, employing various tillage practices to enhance crop production, which in turn affects soil properties and microbial communities.
- Six tillage methods were tested, revealing that TrSc provided the highest microbial diversity, while TSQf showed the lowest, with a total of 2030 operational taxonomic units identified.
- The study highlighted that certain tillage practices significantly influence soil bacteria abundance, particularly showing that Proteobacteria and Actinobacteria were dominant across all treatments, with specific shifts in genera relative to the applied management techniques.
Article Abstract
Tobacco-rice rotation is a common farming system in south China, and many tillage practices such as straw mulching, dolomite dust, and quicklime application have been adopted to improve crop production. These agricultural management practices alter soil physical and chemical properties and affect microbial life environment and community composition. In this research, six tillage practices including no tobacco and rice straw mulching (CK), tobacco and rice straw mulching (TrSr), rice straw returning fire (TrSc), tobacco and rice straw mulching with dolomite dust (TSD), rice straw returning fire and quicklime (TSQ), and rice straw returning fire, quicklime and reduced fertilizer (TSQf) were conducted to detect changes in soil bacterial diversity and composition using Illumina sequencing. The results showed that the total number of operational taxonomic units (OTUs) from the six treatments was 2030, and the number of mutual OTUs among all samples was 550. The TrSc treatment had the highest diversity and richness, while TSQf had the lowest. Soil physio-chemical properties and microbial diversity can influence each other. Proteobacteria and Actinobacteria had the greatest proportion in all treatments. The abundance of Nitrospirae was the highest in the TrSc treatment. The TSQf treatment had the highest abundance of Firmicutes. The abundance of Nitrospira in the TrSc treatment was 2.29-fold over CK. Streptomyces affiliated with Firmicutes improved by 37.33% in TSQf compared to TSQ. TSQf treatment was considered to be the most important factor in determining the relative abundance at the genus level.

This study explores the potential of using underutilized materials from agricultural and forestry systems, such as rice husk, wheat straw, and wood strands, in developing corrugated core sandwich panels as a structural building material. By leveraging the unique properties of these biobased materials within a corrugated geometry, the research presents a novel approach to enhancing the structural performance of such underutilized biobased materials. These biobased materials were used in different lengths to consider the manufacturing feasibility of corrugated panels and the effect of fiber length on their structural performance.

Article Synopsis
- The study analyzed the pyrolysis behaviors of rice husk (RH) and rice straw (RS) using various scientific techniques, revealing distinct stages of pyrolysis for each organic material.
- The activation energies for the different components (pseudo-hemicellulose, pseudo-cellulose, and pseudo-lignin) were calculated, showing varying levels of energy requirement between RH and RS.
- RS demonstrated better pyrolysis performance and produced a greater variety of valuable by-products compared to RH, indicating potential for utilization in agriculture, bioenergy, and chemical sectors.

Lead (Pb) is a highly toxic heavy metal that causes significant health hazards and environmental damage. Thus, the detection and removal of Pb ions in freshwater sources are imperative for safeguarding public health and the environment. Moreover, the transformation of single resources into multiple high-value products is vital for achieving sustainable development goals (SDGs).

This study aimed to identify types of lignin depolymerization products (LDP) and their role in humic substances (HS) formation, and little research has revealed which LDP could participate into HS formation during composting. Therefore, rice straw (RS), peanut straw (PS) and pine needles (PN) were selected for their different lignin structures to qualitatively and quantitative analyze LDP firstly. Qualitative results indicated that RS, PS and PN mainly produced LDP with G-type, common group and dimer structure.
