Carbon (C), nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) are the three most important essential elements limiting growth of primary producers. Submerged macrophytes generally absorb nutrients from sediments by root uptake. However, the C:N:P stoichiometric signatures of plant tissue are affected by many additional factors such as taxonomy, nutrient availability, and light availability. We first revealed the relative importance of taxonomy, sediment, and water column on plant C:N:P stoichiometry using variance partitioning based on partial redundancy analyses. Results showed that taxonomy was the most important factor in determining C:N:P stoichiometry, then the water column and finally the sediment. In this study, a significant positive relationship was found between community C concentration and macrophyte community biomass, indicating that the local low C availability in macrophytes probably was the main reason why submerged macrophytes declined in Yangtze floodplain shallow lakes. Based on our study, it is suggested that submerged macrophytes in Yangtze floodplain shallow lakes are primarily limited by low light levels rather than nutrient availability.
The critical review of norms and standards and corresponding tests to determine the compostability of biodegradable plastics,
possibly applicable also to biodegradable agricultural plastics, shows that many norms concerning testing and labelling of
compostable plastics have been established at the international level. Some of them are about plastic materials, some others
are about products like packaging. The media and conditions of testing cover mainly the conditions designed for industrial
composting facilities, and only a few concern home composting conditions. Considering that the end of life management of biodegradable
agricultural plastic products will be done at the farm to reduce the management of the waste and also its cost, only a few
of these norms are considered to be suitable for adaptation to cover also biodegradable agricultural plastic products. The
biodegradability validation criteria under composting conditions, such as the threshold percentage of biodegradation and disintegration,
the time and temperature, and the ecotoxicity, are presented for the main norms and standard testing methods. Based on these
different norms and their content, a list of specs and technical requirements that could be adapted to meet farm composting
conditions for agricultural compostable plastics is proposed. These requirements may be used as criteria for the establishment
of a new integrative norm for agricultural compostable plastics. 相似文献
