The DeNitrification-DeComposition (DNDC) model has been widely used to simulate soil carbon and nitrogen cycling in open-field agroecosystems. However, its performance under greenhouse cultivation remains insufficiently evaluated. This study assessed the ability of the DNDC model to reproduce soil carbon and nitrogen dynamics in a greenhouse tomato system. Field observations and model simulations were further combined to examine the effects of elevated CO2 (eCO2) enrichment on soil carbon emission, soil nitrogen dynamics, tomato physiological responses, and yield under different fertilization regimes. Results showed that the DNDC model showed good performance in simulating temporal changes in soil organic carbon, ammonium nitrogen, and nitrate nitrogen under eCO2 fertilization, with model efficiency values exceeding 0.66. Under eCO2 combined with chemical fertilizer application, total soil carbon emission decreased to 3120.34 kg·ha−1, which was approximately 1.9 times lower than that in CK. Elevated CO2 also improved tomato physiological performance under the greenhouse conditions of this study, as reflected by increases in net photosynthetic rate, intercellular CO2 concentration, stomatal conductance, and transpiration rate. These responses were associated with enhanced plant carbon accumulation and ultimately contributed to increased tomato yield. These findings highlight the potential of DNDC for greenhouse carbon–nitrogen assessment and of eCO2-based fertilization management for improving tomato productivity.
This study focused on slightly to moderately PAH-contaminated farmland soils in freeze-thaw regions of Northeast China, aiming to fill the research gap in the in situ remediation mechanisms of PAHs under natural freeze-thaw conditions. A 12-month in situ experiment was conducted with four treatments-blank control (CK), biochar (BC), microbial agent (MA), and immobilized microorganisms (IM)-to verify that biochar-loaded IM alleviates temperature stress and sustains efficient PAH removal by regulating soil and microbial properties. PAH removal efficiency and soil chemical properties were monitored during both normal-temperature and freeze-thaw periods, and the soil bacterial community structure was analyzed at the end of the experiment. Results showed that IM achieved the optimal remediation performance with a total PAH removal rate of 72.53%, was least affected by temperature fluctuations, and maintained stable remediation during the freeze-thaw period. IM increased soil nutrient contents, with available potassium and nitrogen exerted positive effects on PAH degradation; it also enriched the functional genes K00626 and K00457 and comprehensively optimized the bacterial community. This study clarified the core remediation mechanism and provided scientific, technical, and theoretical support for related in situ remediation practices.
Afforestation with Pinus sylvestris var. mongolica in northern China is hindered by soil degradation. This study evaluated a ternary amendment combining sewage sludge (SS), cattle manure (CM), and maize straw (MS) to rehabilitate degraded sandy soils in the Horqin Sandy Land. Five treatments were tested: control (CK), SS (T1), SS + CM (T2), SS + MS (T3), and SS + CM + MS (T4). The ternary amendment (T4) achieved optimal outcomes: soil pH decreased from 8.02 to 7.79, organic carbon increased 2.5–fold, and total nitrogen (127%) and phosphorus (87.5%) were enhanced compared to CK. Pinus sylvestris exhibited a 65.6% greater basal diameter and 29.5% height increase under T4, while heavy metal concentrations (Cd: −54.6%, Cu: −35.1%, Pb: −12.2% and Zn: −27.6%) were reduced. These findings highlight a synergistic waste valorization strategy for dryland afforestation, balancing soil fertility improvement with ecological safety. Future studies should prioritize long-term microbial community dynamics and field-scale validation.
The content of PAHs in surface soils of northeastern China is high, which causes long-term soil pollution and potential harm to human health. Influenced by the temperature, the soil in the northeast region is characterized by a long-term freeze–thaw seasonal climate, which greatly affects the process of soil remediation work. Therefore, it is necessary to study the remediation strategies of PAHs in low-temperature soils. Our group discovered that the combination of cold-tolerant fungi and bacteria was effective in degrading soil PAHs. However, we are required to further explore the choice of immobilization vector. In this study, four different types of biochar (C300, C500, B300, B500) were prepared at 300 °C and 500 °C using corn cob and wheat straw of industrial and agricultural waste as precursors. We then used the cross-mixing of these four types of biochar as the carrier for Pseudomonas sp. S4 and Mortierella alpina J7, which are bacteria capable of degrading PAHs. We used the adsorption immobilization method to prepare the repair materials for PAHs degradation mixed bacteria. Through comparison, the low-temperature and high-temperature mixed biochar (C300 + B500) was selected as the carrier. The results showed that mixed biochar immobilized degrading bacteria are the most effective in degrading Phe and Pyr in soil and their degradation effect was related to the mixing ratio. After 30 days of remediation at 15 °C, the best remediation effect was add immobilized mixed fungicide agent, mix biochar 1:2 using 0.67
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), widespread organic pollutants, significantly impact human health and environmental integrity. Recent approaches to ameliorate PAH-contaminated soils, particularly in cold environments, have been insufficient. This study investigates the use of immobilized low -temperature -resistant mixed microorganisms (LTRMM) for enhancing the degradation of PAHs in soils from coke plants and the Shenfu irrigation area. Our results demonstrate that treatment with immobilized mixed microorganisms (MC -HS) is more effective than treatments with free bacteria (H -S) and control (CK). Specifically, the degradation rates in the MC-HS1 treatment were 10.10 % -41.13 % higher than those in the coking plant soil treated with CK1 and HS1. Similarly, in the Shenfu irrigation area soil, MC-HS2 showed improvements of 6.00 % to 52.56 % over CK2 and H -S2. A kinetic model was used to analyze the enhanced degradation capabilities, revealing that the half-life of PAHs under the immobilized mixed microorganism treatment (T3) was significantly shorter compared to the free bacteria (T2) and control treatments (T1). These findings suggest that employing immobilized LTRMM could significantly improve the remediation efficiency of PAH-contaminated soils in cold climates.

The work aimed to explore effects of polytetrafluoroethylene nanoplastics on joint inhibitions of ciprofloxacin and bivalent copper on the nitrogen removal in a sequencing batch reactor and its potential mechanisms. The addition of bivalent copper and/or ciprofloxacin reduced the ammonia nitrogen elimination rate with or without polytetrafluoroethylene nanoplastics. Adsorption kinetics and thermodynamics showed the binary bivalent copper and ciprofloxacin promoted their adsorptions by polytetrafluoroethylene nanoplastics. Polytetrafluoroethylene nanoplastics enhanced combined toxicities of ciprofloxacin and bivalent copper to sludge activities and microbial community involved into nitrification and denitrification due to the adsorption of ciprofloxacin and bivalent copper by polytetrafluoroethylene nanoplastics. With or without polytetrafluoroethylene nanoplastics, bivalent copper and/or ciprofloxacin caused more obvious level changes of protein than polysaccharide. This study provides novel insights for understanding the effect of combined heavy metals and antibiotics on the performance in a sequencing batch reactor with the nanoplastics stress.
The aim of the research was to assess the feasibility of adding modified loofah sponge to increase bioavailability and enhance the removal of phenanthrene (Phe) in soil environment. High temperature and pressure (0.125 MPa, 130 degrees C) could significantly increase the wrinkles, surface area of loofah sponge (142.35 m(2) g(-1)), and this modification improved Phe adsorption on the loofah sponge. Carbon content in the modified loofah sponge increased to 46.53%. After the modified loofah sponge was added to the Phecontaminated soils, the overall adsorption of Phe onto the mixture increased. However, due to the existence of competitive adsorption, the adsorption of Phe by soil decreased. The addition of modified loofah sponges in the soils significantly influenced the behavior and adsorption potential of Phe for different initial concentration in the soil. Compared with at pH 7, the migration of Phe from soil to modified loofah sponge increased at pH 6 or 8. The pseudo-second-order kinetic showed an excellent fitness with the experimental kinetic data in describing Phe dynamic adsorption on the modified loofah sponge. The possible mechanism of Phe retention on modified loofah sponge was chemical adsorption. These results from this study will improve knowledge on understanding the adsorption mechanism of Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) onto biomass materials in soil and provide a theoretical foundation for using modified loofah sponge as a green cost-effective sorbent to remediate PAHscontaminated soil.

There are large areas of contaminated soils with low- and medium-concentration of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in the coldest regions of the earth, potentially threatening ecological safety and human health. Using maize cobs (MC) as the carrier, two cold-adaptive PAHs-degrading microorganisms, bacterial (Pseudomonas sp., SDR4) and fungal (Mortierella alpine, JDR7) strains were co-immobilized. The degradation characteristics of phenanthrene (Phe), pyrene (Pyr) and benzo[a]pyrene (BaP) in freeze-thawed soil by both co-immobilized and free microorganism were studied. The removal rate of Phe, Pyr and BaP using the co-immobilized fungal-bacterial consortium within 60 d was 59.2±3.7%, 46.6±3.3%, and 36.8±2.7%, respectively, which was obviously higher than that of free fungal-bacterial consortium in the same time. Ten percent (w/w) was the optimal amount of inoculum for PAH degradation in the co-immobilized fungal-bacterial consortium. Under low-temperature conditions, when the initial concentration of PAH was between 10-100 mg•kg−1, the immobilized cold-adaptive fungal-bacterial consortium displayed the desired degradation of PAHs. The scanning electronic microscope (SEM) observation and mass transmission showed that the microstructure of co-immobilized mixed system was beneficial to the growth of SDR4 and JDR7 at low temperature. These results imply that the cold-adaptive fungal-bacterial consortium, co-immobilized on MC, has the potential for application in remediating PAH contaminated soil under the freeze-thawing environment.

The combined action of biosorption and biodegradation can achieve a remarkable reduction of organic pollutants. In this study, Pseudomonas sp. SDR4 and Mortierella alpina JDR7 were selected as the representative microorganisms to investigate adsorption and degradation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in soil using immobilization technology and the subsequent change of the microbial community structure. The results showed that the adsorption capacity of immobilized carriers was much higher than that of dead microorganisms and that the addition of dead microorganisms did not affect the adsorption characteristics of immobilized carriers. The chemical reaction was the major factor controlling the adsorption rate of PAHs in sterilized soil (CK), nonsterilized soil (CK-1), and soil amended with dead body immobilized JDR7 and SDR4 mixed bacteria (MBD). The growth and metabolism of Pseudomonas sp. SDR4 and M. alpina JDR7 are the main reason for enhanced PAH degradation in the soil amended with living body immobilized JDR7, SDR4 mixed bacteria (MB).
