Cassava–soybean intercropping alleviates continuous cassava cropping obstacles by improving its rhizosphere microecology by Huixian Chen, Lixia Ruan, Sheng Cao, Wen He, Haixia Yang, Zhenhua Liang, Hengrui Li, Wanling Wei, Zhenling Huang, Xiu Lan

“…Phenol glucuronide, 2,3-butanediol, L-phenylalanine, deoxyguanosine and other carbohydrates, alcohols, purine nucleotides, and amino acids were significantly positively correlated with organic matter, available nitrogen, soil porosity, and pH.DiscussionTherefore, cassava–soybean intercropping can effectively alleviate the obstacles of continuous cassava cropping by affecting the accumulation of metabolites and microbial community structure in continuous cropping soil, thereby improving the adverse factors of severe soil acidification, soil compaction, and nutrient decline.…”

Design of organic crystals with lone pairs to study spin resonance and spin-lattice interactions by Shilin Li, Xiangqian Lu, Wei Qin

“…Abstract Lone pairs are widely prevalent in various types of molecules and have a significant impact on the band structure, carrier transport, and dielectric response, which are the key factors for exploring the underlying mechanism of phenomena in opto-spintronics. In this work, nitrogen substitutions with nonequivalent hybridization are adopted to obtain different types of organic charge transfer crystals, where lone pairs are generated to weaken the interactions between donors and acceptors, resulting in a blueshift in photoluminescence and a weaker electron-lattice coupling. …”
