    Abstract: The effect of peach shell biochar (PSB) amendment on sheep manure (SM) composting was investigated. Five different ratios of PSB were applied (0%, 2.5%, 5%, 7.5%, and 10% PSB), and named T1 to T5, and run 50 days of composting experiment. It was found ... ...

    Abstract The effect of peach shell biochar (PSB) amendment on sheep manure (SM) composting was investigated. Five different ratios of PSB were applied (0%, 2.5%, 5%, 7.5%, and 10% PSB), and named T1 to T5, and run 50 days of composting experiment. It was found that PSB (especially 7.5% and 10%) could improve the compost environment, regulate the activity of microorganisms and related enzymes, and promote the decomposition of compost. 7.5% and 10% PSB advanced the heap into the thermophilic stage and increased the maximum temperature, while also increasing the germination index by 1.40 and 1.39 times compared to control. Importantly, 10% PSB effectively retained more than 60% of carbon and 55% of nitrogen by inhibiting the excess release of NH

    Abstract In present study, four lengths of chopped cornstalks were amended with pig manure respectively for 100 days aerobic fermentation, which aimed to evaluate the impact of different length of agricultural solid wastes on gaseous emission and dominating bacterial community succession and connection. The result revealed that the maximum ammonia volatilization was observed in 5 cm of straw samples attributed to the prominent mineralization, which was opposite to the emission of CH₄ and N₂O. As for global warming potential, the minimum value was detected in 5 cm of straw samples, which decreased by 5.03–24.75% compared with other samples. Additionally, the strongest correlation and complexity of bacterial community could be detected in 5 cm of straw treatment, representing the most vigorous bacterial metabolic ability could be recorded by optimizing the microbial habitat. Therefore, in order to decline the greenhouse effect in livestock manure composting, the 5 cm of corn straw was recommended.

    Abstract The novel heterostructured CuS/Ag₂MoO₄ nanocomposite (NCs) was prepared via sono-chemical precipitation method and characterized by UV–vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy, XPS, SEM, HR-TEM, FT-IR, PL, Raman, EIS, ESR, N₂ adsorption and desorption, EDAX and ESR. The photodegradation performance of the prepared particle was evaluated by investigating the visible light degradation of MB dye. When compared to pristine CuS and Ag₂MoO₄ nanoparticles (NPs), the CuS/Ag₂MoO₄ NCs shows good photocatalytic activity where about 90.5% of MB was degraded in 200 min. The activity of the NCs (0.009 min⁻¹) was 2.25 times greater than CuS (0.004 min⁻¹) and Ag₂MoO₄ (0.004 min⁻¹). The enhanced photodegradation by CuS/Ag₂MoO₄ was attributed to the heterojunction formation between CuS and Ag₂MoO₄, whereas the inner electric field generated gradually decrease the electron-hole recombination thereby enhancing the dye molecules adsorption on the photocatalytic surface. The main oxidative species was superoxide radical and hydroxyl radical where it is confirmed by radical scavenging experiments. The NCs exhibited excellent anti-microbial activity against B. subtilis and E. coli.

    Abstract Industrialization and human urbanization have led to an increase in heavy metal (HM) pollution which often cause negative/toxic effect on agricultural crops. The soil-HMs cannot be degraded biologically however, microbe-mediated detoxification of toxic HMs into lesser toxic forms are reported. Considering the potentiality of HMs-tolerant soil microbes in metal detoxification, Pseudomonas fluorescence PGPR-7 and Trichoderma sp. T-4 were recovered from HM-affected areas. Under both normal and cadmium stress, the ability of both microorganisms to produce different plant hormones and biologically active enzymes was examined. Strains PGPR-7 and T-4 tolerated cadmium (Cd) an up-to 1800 and 2000 µg mL

    Abstract In this study, the effects of peach shell biochar (PSB) and microbial agent (EM) amendment on nitrogen conservation and bacterial dynamics during sheep manure (SM) composting were examined. Six treatments were performed including T1 (control with no addition), T2 (EM), T3 (EM + 2.5 %PSB), T4 (EM + 5 %PSB), T5 (EM + 7.5 %PSB), and T6 (EM + 10 %PSB). The results showed that the additives amendment reduced NH₃ emissions by 6.12%∼32.88% and N₂O emissions by 10.96%∼19.76%, while increased total Kjeldahl nitrogen (TKN) content by 8.15–9.13 g/kg. Meanwhile, Firmicutes were the dominant flora in the thermophilic stages, while Proteobacteria, Actinobacteriota, and Bacteroidota were the dominant flora in the maturation stages. The abundance of Bacteroidota and Actinobacteriota were increased by 17.49%∼32.51% and 2.31%∼12.60%, respectively, which can accelerate the degradable organic materials decomposition. Additionally, redundancy analysis showed that Proteobacteria, Actinobacteriota, and Bacteroidota were positively correlated with NO₃⁻-N, TKN, and N₂O, but a negative correlation with NH₃ and NH₄⁺-N. Finally, results confirmed that (EM + 10 %PSB) additives were more effective to reduce nitrogen loss and improve bacterial dynamics.
