Role of Cylindrospermopsis sp. in vertical nitrogen changes observed in tropical oxidation wastewater treatment ponds by M. Srichomphu, O. Phewnil, T. Pattamapitoon, Ratcha Chaichana, K. Chunkao, W. Wararam, N. Dampin, P. Maskulrath

“…BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: As a producer within the ecological food chain, phytoplankton provides the base energy and oxygen to the environment through photosynthesis and higher tropic levels. These benefits can be applied in five consecutive nature-by-nature oxidation ponds for the treatment of community wastewater coming through a high density polyethylene pipeline from the Phetchaburi Municipality located at the King’s Royally Initiated Laem Phak Bia Environmental Research and Development Project, Ban Laem District, Phetchaburi Province (Universal Transverse Mercator 47P 1442725 North 617774 East). …”

Combined Effects of Humic Acid-Modified Magnetic Biochar and AMF on the Properties of Saline-Alkali Soil and Photosynthetic Parameters of Muskmelon by ZHANG Yating, LOU Xueyi, WU Jiarui, LIU Hongyuan, YE Binyu, XIAO Jiamin, LI Jiameng, MIAO Yining, CHEN Xinyan, LIU Yilin, TAN Yuyu, WANG Zhichao, LIU Peng

“…The synergistic application of HA-MBC and AMF can improve the physicochemical properties and nutrient structure of saline-alkali soil and promote the photosynthesis of muskmelon under low to medium saline-alkali stress levels, whereas excessive application of HA-MBC under high stress concentrations inhibits the improvement of soil indicators and the recovery of photosynthetic parameters in muskmelon.…”

Integrative analyses of morpho-physiological, biochemical, and transcriptomic reveal the seedling growth response of Pinus yunnanensis to nitrogen and phosphorus fertilization by Junfei Xu, Junfei Xu, Xiyan Li, Shi Chen, Shi Chen, Lin Chen, Lin Chen, Junrong Tang, Junrong Tang, Peizhen Chen, Peizhen Chen, Nianhui Cai, Nianhui Cai, Yulan Xu, Yulan Xu

“…Transcriptomic sequencing revealed that there were 2,301 DEGs between T5 and T1 (control), which were involved in the uptake and assimilation of nutrients, biosynthesis of phytohormones and secondary metabolites, and photosynthesis. Additionally, the abundance of genes involved in cell division and proliferation, cellulose biosynthesis, and cell wall extension were dramatically upregulated, which potentially correlated with enhanced seedling growth. …”

Diel changes in the expression of a marker gene and candidate genes for intracellular amorphous CaCO3 biomineralization in Microcystis by Bruley, Apolline, Gaëtan, Juliette, Gugger, Muriel, Pancrace, Claire, Millet, Maxime, Gaschignard, Geoffroy, Dezi, Manuela, Humbert, Jean-François, Leloup, Julie, Skouri-Panet, Fériel, Callebaut, Isabelle, Benzerara, Karim, Duprat, Elodie

“…This is consistent with the assumption that iACC biomineralization is related with photosynthesis and may therefore follow a day/night cycle as well. …”

How long does carbon stay in a near-pristine central Amazon forest? An empirical estimate with radiocarbon by I. Chanca, I. Chanca, I. Chanca, I. Levin, S. Trumbore, K. Macario, K. Macario, K. Macario, J. Lavric, J. Lavric, C. A. Quesada, A. Carioca de Araújo, C. Quaresma Dias Júnior, H. van Asperen, S. Hammer, C. A. Sierra

“…<p>Amazon forests play a significant role in the global C cycle by assimilating large amounts of <span class="inline-formula">CO₂</span> through photosynthesis and by storing C largely as biomass and soil organic matter. …”
