AI Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how ecological factors in the rhizosphere affect the decline of sugarcane ratoons, highlighting key elements like soil potassium, nitrogen fixation, and peroxidase activity that promote growth in younger ratoons.
- Significant differences in microbial community structures were found between different ratoon ages, which correlated with sugarcane growth outcomes.
- Endophytic fungi, particularly those from the Ascomycota group, appear to influence sugarcane health negatively, suggesting a need for further exploration of these ecological interactions.
Article Abstract
Rhizosphere ecological factors that affect sugarcane ratoons are crucial components in the feedback mechanisms between the sugarcane plant and soil environment. However, systematic investigations on these dynamics are lacking. Therefore, this study investigated the relationship between sugarcane ratoon decline and rhizosphere ecological factors. In first-year sugarcane ratoons, ecological factors such as soil available potassium content, soil nitrogen fixation, and soil peroxidase activity were significantly positively correlated with sugarcane growth (P < 0.05) compared to that of third-year sugarcane ratoons. Significant intergroup disparities in the rhizosphere soil microbial community structure were observed based on different ratoon ages (P < 0.01), while highly significant intergroup differences in endophytic microbial community structure were observed based on a Jaccard distance analysis (P < 0.01). Generalised additive model analysis revealed a significant positive correlation (P < 0.05) between sugarcane growth properties and the alpha diversity of rhizosphere soil bacteria and endophytic bacteria but a predominantly negative correlation (P > 0.05) between the alpha diversity of endophytic fungi and key sugarcane growth indicators. The deterioration of mainly non-microbial ecological factors in rhizosphere soil (P < 0.05) with increasing ratoon age may represent a significant factor contributing to sugarcane ratoon decline. The fungal community significantly impacted soil enzyme activity, while the microbial community indirectly influenced sugarcane yield through its effect on soil enzyme activity. Therefore, endophytic fungi, particularly Ascomycota species, may play a crucial role in sugarcane diseases.

Nitrate pollution is widespread environmental concern in most shallow groundwater systems. This study conducts a comprehensive investigation of shallow groundwater, deep groundwater, and surface water in a region of the Chinese Loess Plateau. Nitrate pollution in this area is severe with more than half of the shallow groundwater samples exceeding the limit of nitrate for drinking water (50 mg/L).

The growing demand for clean and sustainable energy sources has prompted the investigation of numerous renewable and ecologically friendly options. Among these, geothermal energy is particularly noteworthy because of its widespread availability, compact size, and consistent, weather-independent power production. A geothermal play fairway analysis (GPFA) model was created for the study area, which is located in Békés county, southeastern Hungary.

Parent-child relationship quality has critical implications for parental emotional well-being across the lifespan. The present study assessed how relationship quality is related to daily encounters between parents and children, how those encounters are linked with parents' mood, and how these associations vary by age. Participants (N = 129, ages 33-91) reported baseline relationship quality with a total of 337 children (ages 1-69).

Understanding the geochemical mechanisms governing hexavalent chromium (Cr(VI)) in groundwater is essential for mitigating health risks. However, the processes driving Cr(VI) accumulation and migration in loess regions remain insufficiently understood. This study investigated the occurrence, release, and migration mechanisms of Cr(VI) across different groundwater environmental units (GEUs) in the south-central Loess Plateau, China.

The resource utilization of municipal solid waste incineration fly ash (MSWI FA) has been widely concerned at present. The chlorine removal from MSWI FA is of great significance for controlling environmental risk and improving materials properties in the process of its resource utilization. This work specifically proposes to divide the chlorine in MSWI FA into inorganic chloride and organic chloride.
