The anaerobic co-digestion (AcoD) of FWs produces variable methane yields, mainly due to variable carbon/nitrogen (C/N) ratio and proportions of lipids (L), carbohydrates (C), and proteins (P) in different FW samples. In this study, a significant interaction between C/N ratio and LCP composition was found and contributed to the differing trends between special (SMP) and theoretical methane production. The highest SMP of 595 mL CH gVS occurred at C/N of 25 and LCP of 63.25:22.62:14.13, followed by 592 mL CH gVS at C/N of 30 and LCP of 48.94:39.74:11.32, which also reflected their interaction. Attributing to their interactive effect on obtaining optimal process parameters and microbial community, the inhibition threshold of lipid as well as the methane yield was increased. Understanding the interaction between C/N ratio and LCP composition is an effective and promising way to obtain suitable mixture ratios of organic wastes under AcoD.

Invasive silver carp () threaten Mississippi River basin ecosystems due to their ability to outcompete native species. Stable carbon (δC) and nitrogen (δN) isotope analysis has been used to study how silver carp impact native ecosystems, but lipids in fish tissues commonly bias their δC values. Chemical lipid extraction and mathematical equations that normalise δC values for lipid content can account for this bias, but have not been assessed for silver carp.

The products of an advanced sewage sludge fermentation process can be used to generate polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs), precursors of bioplastics considered excellent candidates for replacing petroleum-derived plastics. The aerobic feast-anoxic famine cycling strategy has proven to be an efficient method for enriching sewage sludge microbiota with PHA-producing microorganisms. This work evaluated the effect of different carbon to nitrogen ratios (C/N) of 3.

The intricate biogeochemical cycling of multiple elements plays a pivotal role in upholding a myriad of ecosystem functions. However, our understanding of elemental stoichiometry and coupling in response to global changes remains primarily limited to plant carbon: nitrogen: phosphorus (C: N: P). Here, we assessed the responses of 11 elements in plants from different functional groups to global changes.

Competition is ubiquitous and an important driver of tree mortality. Non-structural carbohydrates (NSCs, including soluble sugars and starch) and C-N-P stoichiometries are affected by the competitive status of trees and, in turn, physiologically determine tree growth and survival in competition. However, the physiological mechanisms behind tree mortality caused by intraspecific competition remain unclear.

Geopolymer, as a promising inorganic binding material, holds potential for use in constructing base layers for highway pavements. This study aims to evaluate the mechanical properties of geopolymer-stabilized macadam (GSM) at both the micro- and macro-scale by a series of tests, demonstrating that high-Ca GSM is a high-quality material for pavement base layers. The results demonstrated that GSM exhibits outstanding mechanical and fatigue properties, significantly surpassing those of cement-stabilized macadam (CSM).
