Photo-produced aromatic compounds stimulate microbial degradation of dissolved organic carbon in thermokarst lakes

Nature Communications, 2023
Photochemical and biological degradation of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) and their interactions jointly contribute to the carbon dioxide released from surface waters in permafrost regions.

Non-destructive estimation of field maize biomass using terrestrial lidar: an evaluation from plot level to individual leaf level

Plant Methods, 2020
Background Precision agriculture is an emerging research field that relies on monitoring and managing field variability in phenotypic traits. An important phenotypic trait is biomass, a comprehensive indicator that can reflect crop yields.

Mapping Forage Biomass and Quality of the Inner Mongolia Grasslands by Combining Field Measurements and Sentinel-2 Observations

Remote Sensing, 2023
Grasslands provide essential forage sources for global livestock production. Remote sensing approaches have been widely used to estimate the biomass production of grasslands from regional to global scales, but simultaneously mapping the forage biomass ...

Sphagnum increases soil’s sequestration capacity of mineral-associated organic carbon via activating metal oxides

Nature Communications, 2023
Sphagnum wetlands are global hotspots for carbon storage, conventionally attributed to the accumulation of decay-resistant litter. However, the buildup of mineral-associated organic carbon (MAOC) with relatively slow turnover has rarely been examined ...

Using organic fertilizers to increase crop yield, economic growth, and soil quality in a temperate farmland [PDF]

PeerJ, 2020
We used a constant total N application base rate to conduct a two-year field experiment comparing the effects of three organic fertilizers (rapeseed meal (RSM), soybean meal (SBM), and cattle manure (CM)) on the crop yield, economic growth, and soil ...

Exploring the nitrogen reservoir of biodegradable household garbage and its potential in replacing synthetic nitrogen fertilizers in China [PDF]

PeerJ, 2022
Biodegradable household garbage contains a large amount of nitrogen, which could be used as organic fertilizer to produce organic food and significantly reduce synthetic nitrogen fertilizers.

Temporal reflectance changes in vegetables [PDF]

2009 IEEE 12th International Conference on Computer Vision Workshops, ICCV Workshops, 2009
Quality control in the food industry is often performed by measuring various chemical compounds of the food involved. We propose an imaging concept for acquiring high quality multispectral images to evaluate changes of carrots and celeriac over a period of 14 days.

Effects of shrub encroachment on soil aggregates and organic carbon vary in different grasslands in Inner Mongolia, China

Ecosphere, 2021
Widespread shrub encroachment in grasslands can lead to changes in soil aggregates and soil organic carbon (SOC), especially in deep soils. Soil aggregates physicochemically protect SOC and thus affect soil carbon sequestration.
