  Scientists Find Effects of 3, 4-Dimethylpyrazole Phosphate (DMPP) on the Abundance of Ammonia Oxidizers and Denitrifiers

  The excessive application of nitrogen (N) fertilizer causes N loss from agricultural soil, through leaching and gaseous losses, such as nitrous oxide (N2O), which have a negative effect on the environment.

  Researchers evaluate the efficiency of nitrogen and phosphorus removal by macrophytes from eutrophic water

  Eutrophication is a widespread and increasing problem in water resources in many countries. The riparian zone receives and retains large amounts of nutrient inputs from farmland.

  Researchers Reveal Seasonal Pattern of δ15N-NH4+ in Rainfall and NH3 Sources at Qingyuan Station, CAS

  Since the industrial revolution, the atmospheric nitrogen (N) deposition has rapidly increased as a result of the ever-accelerated increasing of anthropogenic emissions of reactive forms of N. Excessive N deposition can have a series of negative effects on terrestrial ecosystems,

  Scientists Enhance Sorption Ability of Biochars towards Galaxolide

  Synthetic musk is a common drug and personal care product. At present, there is no specific process for removing Jiale Musk (galaxolide, HHCB) from sewage, and the conventional sewage treatment technology has generally no effect on this component.
