Effect of Elevated CO2, O3, and UV Radiation on Soils by Pavel Formánek, Klement Rejšek, Valerie Vranová

“…Contrary to elevated CO2, O3, or UV-B decreases soil microbial biomass, metabolisable C, and soil Nt content leading to higher C/N of soil organic matter. Elevated UV-B radiation shifts soil microbial community and decreases populations of soil meso- and macrofauna via direct effect rather than by induced changes of litter quality and root exudation as in case of elevated CO2 or O3. …”

Experimental Study on Dynamic Mechanical Properties of Coal Gangue Concrete by Zhishu Yao, Yu Fang, Weihao Kong, Xianwen Huang, Xuesong Wang

“…The results show that (1) it is feasible that employing coal gangue to replace natural coarse and fine aggregates in concrete can prepare C30 and C40 concrete; (2) the addition of coal gangue fine aggregate has a positive effect on the impact energy of the initial and final cracks of concrete, while the addition of coal gangue coarse aggregate has a negative effect on it; (3) compared with the static strength, the dynamic strength of concrete is improved no matter whether coal gangue is added to concrete; (4) the incorporation of coal gangue coarse aggregate will make the concrete shear surface smooth; (5) at the given impacting pressure, the concrete with coal gangue coarse aggregate has greater particle breakage and those with coal gangue fine aggregate has less. …”
