The purple soil sloping field is considered as the main source of sediment and non-point source pollution in the Three Gorges Reservoir area. To prevent and control the non-point source pollution, it is indispensable to explore the characteristics of nitrogen loss in the overland flow and interflow of purple soil sloping field in Three Gorges Reservoir area. The purple soil sloping runoff plots, located in the Shibaozhai Experimental Station of Chengdu Institute of Chinese Academy of Sciences in Zhongxian County, Chongqing, were studied. The experiment included no fertilization treatment (CK), traditional fertilization treatment (T), amended fertilization treatment (T), and reduced fertilizer with straw treatment (T). According to the data of volume of the interflow and runoff and the leach concentration and flux of nitrogen forms under rapeseed-maize rotation system, the response of nitrogen leaching flux to reduce fertilizer with straw application can be definite in purple soil sloping plots. The results show that the ratio of interflow to total runoff is 60.14%-88.56%, and the flux of nitrogen leaching in the interflow accounts for 72.88%-92.35% of total nitrogen loss flux. Ammonium was mainly leached by the overland flow. In addition, nitrate was mainly leached by the interflow and was the main form of nitrogen leaching. The fluxes of ammonium and nitrate under different treatments followed the order T > T > T > CK. The total nitrogen flux of T was 20.07 kg·(hm·a), which was 43.59% and 39.55% lower than that of T and T, respectively. The reduced fertilizer with straw application significantly decreased the leaching flux of ammonium, nitrate, and total nitrogen, and weakened the effect on runoff nitrogen leaching in the purple soil sloping plots.

Molecular-based detection of pathogens from potato tubers hold promise, but the initial sample extraction process is labor-intensive. Developing a robotic tuber sampling system, equipped with a fast and precise machine vision technique to identify optimal sampling locations on a potato tuber, offers a viable solution. However, detecting sampling locations such as eyes and stolon scar is challenging due to variability in their appearance, size, and shape, along with soil adhering to the tubers.

Contamination of chars with dioxin-like polychlorinated biphenyls (dl-PCB) significantly limits their use and hinders their deployment in the circular bioeconomy, specifically in applications that may lead to dietary exposure. Here, for the first time, we review the levels of contamination of chars produced from pyrolysis and hydrothermal carbonisation (HTC) with dl-PCB congeners. We conduct a detailed and critical examination of the role played by the processing parameters, such as temperature and residence time, and the reaction mechanisms, to detoxify the biomass under an oxygen-free atmosphere during its valorisation.

The study targeted to compare the nutritional profile of two varieties of açaí, the white and purple, found in different mesoregions of Pará, Brazil. The research focused on analyzing levels of total phenolics, total anthocyanins, antioxidant capacity, and mineral composition in these two varieties. The study sought to identify significant differences between the two varieties in terms of nutritional composition and antioxidant potential, providing valuable information into the specific nutritional and functional properties of each type of açaí studied.
