To determine the optimal CO concentration for microalgal biomass cultivated with industrial flue gas and improve carbon fixation capacity and biomass production. Functional metabolism pathways of significantly regulated genes in Nannochloropsis oceanica (N. oceanica) with various nitrogen/phosphorus (N/P) nutrients for CO fixation were comprehensively clarified. At 100 % N/P nutrients, the optimum CO concentration was 70 % and the maximum biomass production of microalgae was 1.57 g/L. The optimum CO concentration was 50 % for N or P deficiency and 30 % for both N and P deficiency. The optimal combination of CO concentration and N/P nutrients caused significant up regulation of proteins related to photosynthesis and cellular respiration in the microalgae, enhancing photosynthetic electron transfer efficiency and carbon metabolism. Microalgal cells with P deficiency and optimal CO concentration expressed many phosphate transporter proteins to enhance P metabolism and N metabolism to maintain a high carbon fixation capacity. However, inappropriate combination of N/P nutrients and CO concentrations caused more errors in DNA replication and protein synthesis, generating more lysosomes and phagosomes. This inhibited carbon fixation and biomass production in the microalgae with increased cell apoptosis.

Seasonal variations in foliar nutrient concentrations are an important strategy of plants to adapt to different climates and availabilities of soil nutrients. Gaps in our knowledge, however, remain in both the seasonality of the concentrations of multiple nutrients in plant leaves and their spatial pattern on a large scale. We compiled data on foliar concentrations of nine essential nutrients (N, P, K, Ca, Mg, Fe, Mn, Zn, and Cu) in woody plants in China and evaluated the characteristics and latitudinal patterns of their seasonal variability (i.

Intercorrelated aboveground traits associated with costs and plant growth have been widely used to predict vegetation in response to environmental changes. However, whether underground traits exhibit consistent responses remains unclear, particularly in N-rich subtropical forests. Responses of foliar and root morphological and physiological traits of tree and herb species after 8-year N, P, and combined N and P treatments (50 kg N, P, N and P ha year) were examined in leguminous Acacia auriculiformis (AA) and nonleguminous Eucalyptus urophylla (EU) forests in southern China.

Investigations of the spatial-temporal variations of nutrients within mangrove coastal zones are essential for assessing the environmental status of an aquatic ecosystems. However, major processes controlling nitrate cycle along the submarine groundwater discharge (SGD) pathway from the mangrove areas to adjacent tidal creek remain underexplored. A time series measurement over a 25 h tidal cycle was conducted in Qinglan Bay tidal creek (Hainan Island, China).

Climate change and food safety standards have intensified research into plant-based compounds as alternatives to dietary supplements in animal feed. These compounds can reduce enteric methane (CH) emissions and the formation of ruminal ammonia. This study investigated the effects of radiata pine bark extract (PBE) supplementation on CH production, ruminal fermentation parameters, and nutrient disappearance using the rumen simulation technique in diets with different forage-to-concentrate (F:C) ratios.

The agricultural sector of any country plays a pivotal role in its economy. Irrigation and the provision of appropriate nutrient levels in soil are essential for optimizing plant growth and enhancing crop productivity. To support the increasing need for food due to the growing population worldwide, synthetic fertilizers have been widely used in the agricultural sector.
