Different nitrogen uptake patterns of plant and soil microorganisms in the forest-grassland transition zone on the Loess Plateau by Lina Wang, Xu Deng, Ying Zhou, Xueqi Geng, Zeling Zhang, Yakun Tang

“…IntroductionIt is unclear whether plants and microorganisms achieve niche complementarity by taking up different inorganic nitrogen (N) forms to alleviate N competition, particularly in N–limited regions.MethodsThis paper conducted a 15-day 15N tracer study (15NH4NO3 or 15NH4NO3) in situ to quantitatively calculate the uptake rates of plants and microorganisms in four stands (pure Hippophae rhamnoides L, pure Pinus tabuliformis Carrière, mixed H. rhamnoides–P. tabuliformis, and Artemisia gmelinii Weber ex Stechm grassland) in the forest–grassland transition zone on the Loess Plateau during the growing season. …”

Ecological and toxicological condition of militarily degraded chernozems: A case study of the Chkalovsk territorial community by Kateryna Smirnova, Sviatoslav Baliuk, Anatolii Kucher, Ludmila Vorotyntseva, Anna Honcharova

“…An improved system for classifying and assessing the degree of military degradation of soils, based on indicators of chemical contamination by organic and inorganic compounds, was proposed. It was established that on recently demined areas of the de-occupied territory, there is a trend of slight increases in the content of lead (1.4 times), cobalt (1.3 times), iron (1.6 times), and zinc (2.6 times) relative to pre-war (background) levels. …”
