Comparison of Properties of Wood-Plastic Composites Based on Alternate Degradation in Seawater and Acid Rain

BioResources, 2023
To investigate the change of the service performance of wood-plastic composites degraded by sea water and acid rain, three types of wood-plastic composite materials were prepared with sorghum straw reinforced with high-density polyethylene (SS/HDPE ...

Determination of dry weight, nitrogen content, and sulfur content of radish (Raphanus sativus) plants exposed to simulated acid rain

, 1986
Effects of acid rain on the dry weight, nitrogen and sulfur content of radish plants were determined. They were exposed to distilled water acidified with a 7:3 ratio of sulfuric acid and nitric acid and adjusted to pH levels 2.5, 3.0, 3.5, 4.0, 4.5, 5.0,

Optimising Sulphur Fertilisation in Ryegrass–White Clover Swards Reduces Leached Nitrate Nitrogen Losses, While Increasing Plant Yield and Nitrogen Off‐Take

Journal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science, EarlyView.
The inclusion of sulphur at two inorganic nitrogen rates (0 and 150 kg N ha−1) improves plant productivity in a ryegrass–white clover sward and reduces nitrate‐N loss to groundwater in a free‐draining sandy loam soil. ABSTRACT Background Reducing nitrogen (N) losses to water, lessening reliance on inorganic fertiliser and maintaining agricultural ...

Deglaciation of the Burren glacio‐karst, western Ireland, during Termination 1: Implications for North Atlantic climate and karstification

Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract The Burren uplands in western Ireland form one of the most extensive and best‐preserved examples of glacio‐karst in Europe. Subsumed by the Irish ice sheet during the Late Pleistocene, granite erratic boulders and in situ silica veins in the limestone bedrock provide a rare opportunity to reconstruct the timing and rate of deglaciation ...

Modelling effects of acid deposition and climate change on soil and run-off chemistry at Risdalsheia, Norway

, 2001
Elevated carbon dioxide levels, caused by anthropogenic emissions of carbon dioxide to the atmosphere, and higher temperature may lead to increased plant growth and uptake to nitrogen, but increased temperature may lead to increased nitrogen ...

Ecophysiological responses of Jatropha curcas L. seedlings to simulated acid rain under different soil types

, 2019
Acid rain is a global environmental problem. Acid rain can affect plants directly by damaging the leaves and indirectly by soil acidifying. Many studies have been conducted to investigate the impacts of acid rain on plant under a single soil type ...

Late Quaternary climatic variability in the Eastern Mediterranean recorded in Hermes Cave, Corinth Rift, Greece

Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Greek peninsula lies at the intersection of major atmospheric circulation systems, making it a key location for reconstructing past climate variability in the Eastern Mediterranean. In this study, we present a new high‐resolution multi‐proxy speleothem record from Hermes Cave, located on the shoulder of the Corinth Rift in southern Greece.

A transient protoplast expression system for functional gene validation in sugarcane: Focus on drought response and immune pathways

New Plant Protection, EarlyView.
We developed a transient expression system for sugarcane using Guitang 42 culm, suitable for various assays such as GCaMP6‐based calcium imaging. This system revealed that ScNCED3 acts as an early drought response signal, positively regulated by ScPYL4‐12, ScOST1‐12, and ScMPK6‐11.

Simulation experiment of acid rain leaching in different media vadose zones polluted by copper

Desalination and Water Treatment
The leaching process of copper in the polluted medium and the pollution risk to the underground environment under the conditions of acid rain (pH 5.02 ± 0.02), natural rain (pH 6.8 ± 0.02), and different rainfall (moderate rain, heavy rain, and rainstorm)
