Abstract

An in situ field experiment with lysimeter was conducted to study the effects of different fertilizations on the nutrient leaching loss from brown soil in the growth season of summer maize. The results showed that abundant rainfall and irrigation were the main factors affecting the leaching loss. The leaching amount was higher in the early growth period of summer maize, but decreased after then. The difference among different fertilization treatments also decreased with maize growth. Comparing with N fertilization, wheat stalk plus N application intensified the leaching. During the growth period of summer maize, the NO3- -N content in leached water in fertilization treatments had two peaks, while the NH4+ -N content had a trend of increased first and decreased then. The leaching loss of soil N was mainly in the form of NO3- -N. The accumulative leaching loss of NO3- -N was 12.90-46.53 kg * hm(-2), and that of NH4+ -N was 1.66-5.11 kg x hm(-2), both of which increased with increasing N application rate. The leaching rate of soil N was 6.53%-13.07% higher in treatment wheat stalk plus N application than in treatments of N fertilization, and 3.66%-10.10% higher in low N treatments than in high N treatments. The accumulative leachi...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
