    Abstract Soil organic carbon (SOC) and mineral nitrogen (Nₘᵢₙ), especially nitrates (NO₃⁻) in agroecosystems have attracted much attention over the past few decades due to their crucial roles in soil fertility, crop productivity, environmental quality, and/or climate change mitigation and adaptation. The aim of the study was to evaluate the contents of organic carbon, ammonium, and nitrate in soils under differentiated pH, texture, and fertilization rates. A large-scale environmental study was conducted in Polish arable lands. The spatial distribution of the sampling points reflected agricultural production conditions, variability of soil properties, and representativeness of textures that are characteristic of Poland. Our results indicated that SOC content was significantly affected by the soil pH and texture as well as mineral and organic fertilization. The same factors, except organic amendments, significantly supported mineral nitrogen concentration in the present study. The most important factors controlling SOC in the study were ranked as follows: soil pH > pre-crop N fertilization > crop N fertilization > N applied with manure > soil texture. In the case of N-NH₄ and N-NO₃, mineral fertilization was the most critical variable. The carbon and nitrogen governance in agroecosystems should consider the ranks of factors controlling their contents.

    Abstract Biochemical reactions occurring in highly crowded cellular environments require different means of control to ensure productivity and specificity. Compartmentalization of reagents by liquid-liquid phase separation is one of these means. However, extremely high local protein concentrations of up to 400 mg/ml can result in pathological aggregation into fibrillar amyloid structures, a phenomenon that has been linked to various neurodegenerative diseases. Despite its relevance, the process of liquid-to-solid transition inside condensates is still not well understood at the molecular level. We thus herein use small peptide derivatives that can undergo both liquid-liquid and subsequent liquid-to-solid phase transition as model systems to study both processes. Using solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM), we compare the structure of condensed states of leucine, tryptophan and phenylalanine containing derivatives, distinguishing between liquid-like condensates, amorphous aggregates and fibrils, respectively. A structural model for the fibrils formed by the phenylalanine derivative was obtained by an NMR-based structure calculation. The fibrils are stabilised by hydrogen bonds and side-chain π-π interactions, which are likely much less pronounced or absent in the liquid and amorphous state. Such noncovalent interactions are equally important for the liquid-to-solid transition of proteins, particularly those related to neurodegenerative diseases.

    Abstract Synthesis gas production via solar thermochemical reduction-oxidation reactions is a promising pathway towards sustainable carbon-neutral fuels. The redox capability of oxygen carriers with considerable thermal and chemical stability is highly desirable. In this study, we report Ce-doped V₂O₅ structures for high-temperature thermochemical-looping reforming of methane coupled to H₂O and CO₂ splitting reactions. Incorporation of fractional amounts of large cerium cations induces a V⁵⁺ to V³⁺ transition and partially forms a segregated CeVO₄ phase. More importantly, the effective combination of efficient ion mobility of cerium and high oxygen exchange capacity of vanadia achieves synergic and cyclable redox performance during the thermochemical reactions, whereas the pure vanadia powders undergo melting and show non-cyclic redox behaviour. These materials achieve noteworthy syngas production rates of up to 500 mmol molV⁻¹ min⁻¹ during the long-term stability test of 100 CO₂ splitting cycles. Interestingly, the cerium ions are mobile between the lattice and the surface of the Ce-doped vanadia powders during the repeated reduction and oxidation reactions and contribute towards the cyclic syngas production. However, this also causes the formation of the CeVO₄ phase in Ce-rich powders, which increases the H₂/CO ratios and lowers fuel selectivity, which can be controlled by optimizing the cerium concentration. These findings are noteworthy towards the experimental approach of evaluating the oxygen carriers with the help of advanced characterization techniques.

    Abstract To implement the Mehlich 3 method in Polish agro-chemical laboratories, limit values for deficiency of B, Cu, Fe, Mn and Zn in soil for wheat were developed. The values were developed on the basis of 1921 fields with wheat, evenly distributed throughout Poland. Soil samples were collected from these fields in 2016, together with the plants growing on them, at the stage of stem elongation (BBCH 30/31). The concentration of micronutrients was determined in all soil and plant samples. In addition, pH, texture, and the content of organic carbon and available phosphorus were determined in soil samples. Moreover, grain yield after wheat harvest was estimated for all fields. Limit values were developed by two independent methods: 1) the regression equation method and 2) the so-called high yield method. In the first case, the limit microelement concentration in soil was calculated from the equation describing the relationship between the bioaccumulation factor (R/G) and a specific soil feature (n=1921). The bioaccumulation factor is the quotient of the concentration of a micronutrient in a plant (R) and its concentration in the soil (G) determined by the Mehlich 3 method. The equations were constructed using the Stagraphics program. For each micronutrient, 8 models were tested in search for the equation with the highest determination coefficient r2. Limit values were calculated after substituting the critical value of microelements in the plant (R) to the selected model and transforming the equation accordingly. The basis of the second method was to separate the “high yield group” ≥7.0 t ha−1 (n=578) from the entire data set. In this group, lower quintiles for the Mehlich 3-concentration of individual microelements in soil were calculated. The lower quintiles (QU1) were taken as limit values. It was assumed that QU1 is a good indicator of the lowest micronutrient concentration in the soil at which a yield of 7.0 t ha−1 or higher can be obtained. The comparison of the values calculated with the regression equations ...

    Abstract The aim of the study was to develop limit values for low microelement concentration in the soil, determined with the use of Mehlich 3 extractant for assessing their deficits in rapeseed crops. The values were prepared on the basis of 1944 fields with rapeseed, covering the whole Poland. In 2017, the samplers of Polish agro-chemical laboratories took soil samples and corresponding plant samples at the BBCH 30/31 stage. In the plant samples, the concentration of microelements was determined, and in the soil samples, apart from microelements, also pH, texture and the concentration of organic carbon and available phosphorus, were determined. Moreover, for each field, data on rapeseed yield were collected. Limit values were determined by two independent methods: 1) the method of regression equations and 2) the so-called high yield method. In the first case, the limit microelement concentration in the soil was calculated from the equation describing the relationship between the R/G bioaccumulation coefficient and a specific soil feature (n=1944). The bioaccumulation coefficient is a quotient of the concentration of a microelement in a plant (R) and its concentration in the soil determined by the Mehlich 3 (G) method. Limit values were calculated after substituting the critical concentration of microelements in the plant (R) to the equation, and subsequently, an appropriate conversion of the equation. The second method was based on the separation of a group of high yields ≥4.0 t ha−1 (n=755) from the whole data set. Then in this group, the lower quintiles (QU1) were calculated for the concentration of individual microelements in the soil determined in Mehlich 3 extract and adopted as limit values. It was found that QU1 is a good indicator of the lowest microelement concentration in the soil at which a yield of at least 4.0 t ha−1 can be obtained. The final limit values were worked out by averaging the values calculated by the equations and high yield method and their appropriate correction. In the combined soil sample ...

    Abstract Specific surface area is a key parameter determining the rates of thermochemical redox reactions in metal oxides. We have experimentally investigated the effect of specific surface area on syngas production of pure ceria powders under two experiments such as a heating experiment without syngas production and an isothermal thermochemical redox cycling experiment using carbon dioxide splitting and methane partial oxidation. The specific surface area of ceria powders decreased relatively slowly during 50 hours of ceria powder heating without syngas production due to a combination of oriented attachment and grain-boundary diffusion. When cycled thermochemically, the specific surface area of ceria powders rapidly decreased only in the initial 10 minutes of reduction in the 1st cycle due to evaporation and condensation. A significant decrease of specific surface area during the initial stage of thermochemical ceria powder cycling is unavoidable even if temperatures as low as
