Given the carbon limitation of municipal wastewater, the balance of biological nitrogen and phosphorus removal remains a challenging task. In this study, an anaerobic-anoxic-oxic combining with biological contact oxidation (A/O-BCO) system treating real municipal wastewater was operated for 205 days, and COD-to-PO-P ratio was confirmed as the key parameter for balancing denitrifying phosphorus-accumulating organisms (DPAOs) and denitrifying glycogen-accumulating organisms (DGAOs) to enhance N and P removal. When DPAOs dominated in nutrients removal, the increase in COD/P from 17.1 to 38.1 caused the deterioration in nitrogen removal performance decreasing to 71.8 %. As COD/P ratio decreased from 81.3 to 46.8, Ca.Competibacter proliferated from 3.11 % to 6.00 %, contributing to 58.9 % of nitrogen removal. The nitrogen and phosphorus removal efficiency reached up to 79.3 % and 95.2 %. Overall, establishing DGAOs-DPAOs balance by strengthening the effect of DGAOs could enhance the nutrients removal performance and accordingly improve the stability and efficiency of the system.

To reveal the changes in crop yield and contribution rate of black soil productivity under long-term different fertilization conditions in black soil areas and to find the important significance of fertilization for sustainable and stable crop yield, high yield, and improving the contribution rate of black soil nutrients. Based on the long-term experiment of black soil fertility in Harbin, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, under the maize-wheat-soybean rotation system, crop yield, sustainability and stability of yield, the contribution rate of black soil productivity, and natural nutrient supply capacity under 10 fertilization treatments (CK, NP, NK, PK, NPK, M, MNP, MNK, MPK, and MNPK) were analyzed. Results showed that, compared with the treatment of chemical fertilizer, yields of maize, wheat, and soybeans increased under treatment of organic fertilizer combined with chemical fertilizer, among which the yields of maize and wheat changed the most.

Two-year experiments were conducted to assess the responses of yield and nutrient use efficiency of sorghum to nitrogen and phosphorus under saline soils. Three nitrogen rates (0, 180, and 360 N kg ha) and three phosphorus rates (0, 60, and 120 PO kg ha) were used in this study. Our results showed that nitrogen and phosphorus supply increased SPAD (leaf greenness, 5.

As sustainable forest management gains increasing attention, comprehending the impact of stand density on soil properties and microbial communities is crucial for optimizing forest ecosystem functions. This study employed high-throughput sequencing in conjunction with soil physicochemical analysis to assess the effects of stand density on soil physicochemical properties and microbial community characteristics in Chinese fir plantations, aiming to elucidate the influence of density regulation on ecosystem services. Our results suggested that changes in soil physicochemical properties and microenvironmental conditions were key drivers of soil microbial diversity.
