Compartmentalized Homeostasis Drives High Bamboo Forest Productivity under Nutrient Imbalance

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study reveals how Moso bamboo achieves high productivity despite nutrient‐poor soils. It employs a unique strategy, maintaining strict nutrient balance in its leaves while using woody tissues as flexible storage reservoirs. This compartmentalized mechanism buffers the plant from soil phosphorus limitation and microbial competition, resolving the ...

Asymmetric Active Center Triggers Side‐On Photo‐Fenton‐Like Reaction Through Polar Charge Transfer and Self‐Adapting Sulfur Vacancies

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The Cu‐Zn3In2S6 photocatalyst (Cu‐ZISV) with asymmetric Cu‐SV‐Zn sites was designed and synthesized to boost peroxymonosulfate (PMS) activation kinetics. The side‐on photo‐Fenton‐like reaction by the asymmetric Cu‐SV‐Zn site accelerated PMS activation and pollutant degradation, and the first‐order kinetic constant of Cu‐ZISV increased by 4.87 times ...

Multifunctional Tailoring of Fertilizer Composites Directly Derived From Phosphate Rock

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A novel phosphorus‑sulfur mixed acid with urea (PSU) activation system converts low‑grade phosphate rock (LPR) into multifunctional fertilizer composites (MFCs). MFCs feature porous structures, high nutrient‑activation efficiency, superior slow‑release, and enhanced crop growth, offering a sustainable solution for integrated nutrient management and ...
