Effect of elevated tropospheric ozone on methane and nitrous oxide emission from rice soil in north India

Physiological changes in crop plants in response to the elevated tropospheric ozone (O₃) may alter N and C cycles in soil. This may also affect the atmosphere-biosphere exchange of radiatively important greenhouse gases (GHGs), e.g. methane (CH₄) and nitrous oxide (N₂O) from soil. A study was carried out during July to November of 2007 and 2008 in the experimental farm of Indian Agricultural Research Institute, New Delhi to assess the effects of elevated tropospheric ozone on methane and nitrous oxide emissions from rice (Oryza sativa L.) soil. Rice crop was grown in open top chambers (OTC) under elevated ozone (EO), non-filtered air (NF), charcoal filtered air (CF) and ambient air (AA). Seasonal mean concentrations of O₃ were 4.3 ± 0.9, 26.2 ± 1.9, 59.1 ± 4.2 and 27.5 ± 2.3 ppb during year 2007 and 5.9 ± 1.1, 37.2 ± 2.5, 69.7 ± 3.9 and 39.2 ± 1.8 ppb during year 2008 for treatments CF, NF, EO and AA, respectively. Cumulative seasonal CH₄ emission reduced by 29.7% and 40.4% under the elevated ozone (EO) compared to the non-filtered air (NF), whereas the emission increased by 21.5% and 16.7% in the charcoal filtered air (CF) in 2007 and 2008, respectively. Cumulative seasonal emission of N₂O ranged from 47.8 mg m⁻² in elevated ozone to 54.6 mg m⁻² in charcoal filtered air in 2007 and from 46.4 to 62.1 mg m⁻² in 2008. Elevated ozone reduced grain yield by 11.3% and 12.4% in 2007 and 2008, respectively. Global warming potential (GWP) per unit of rice yield was the least under elevated ozone levels. Dissolved organic C content of soil was lowest under the elevated ozone treatment. Decrease in availability of substrate i.e., dissolved organic C under elevated ozone resulted in a decline in GHG emissions. Filtration of ozone from ambient air increased grain yield and growth parameters of rice and emission of GHGs.

太湖氧化亚氮(N2O)排放特征及潜在驱动因素

氧化亚氮（N₂O）是《京都议定书》规定的6种温室气体之一,其百年增温趋势是CO₂的298倍,大气N₂O浓度在持续快速增长中.浅水湖泊是大气N₂O的重要来源,为探讨富营养湖泊太湖N₂O排放的时空变化及潜在驱动因素,于2月（冬）和8月（夏）不同季节下在太湖进行野外观测,采用扩散系数-顶空瓶法观测表层水体N₂O浓度［c（N₂O）］和排放通量［F（N₂O）］,并讨论分析N₂O排放的潜在驱动因素.由于溶解性有机物（DOM）光谱是溶解性有机碳（DOC）及溶解性有机氮（DON）来源组成的有效示踪指标,其迁移转化过程亦会释放大量无机氮,改变水体氧化还原电位,因而也能影响N₂O排放.结果表明,太湖表层水体N₂O的浓度和排放通量表现出的时间变化及空间变化强烈受到季节（水温）差异和营养水平的共同影响,其表层水体c（ČN₂O）均值为（19.7±2.7） nmol·L^-1,F（N₂O）均值为（41.1±1.8）μmol·（m²·d）^-1,两者均表现为夏季高于冬季（t-test,P<0.01）;DOM和DOC等有机质的输入累积能够提高水体N₂O的产生和排放潜力,其中N₂O排放通量与水体类腐殖质组分C1显著正相关,表征陆源输入的荧光峰积分比值I_C ：I_T及芳香性指标S_275-295都表明西北入湖河口区积累了大量陆源类腐殖酸,其转化降解对N₂O的产生及排放有较大的贡献.结果显示水温、DOM组成来源和营养水平等均是影响太湖水体N₂O排放的重要因素.长期连续观测能更好地全面评估各种因素对水体N₂O产生及排放的影响并科学合理地制定减排方案.

Photocatalytic degradation of phosphamidon using Ag-doped ZnO nanorods

The photocatalytic degradation of the organo-phosphorous pesticide phosphamidon at low concentration in aqueous solution on Ag-doped ZnO nanorods was investigated. Nanosized Ag-doped ZnO rods were synthesized by using a microwave assisted aqueous method. High molecular weight polyvinyl alcohol was used as a stabilizing agent. Composition and structure were investigated using energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDAX) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The XRD pattern reveals that ZnO nanorods are of hexagonal wurtzite structure. The average crystallite size calculated from Scherrer's relation was found to be 30?nm. The effects of catalyst loading, pH value, and initial concentration of phosphamidon on the photocatalytic degradation efficiency using Ag-doped ZnO nanorods as a photocatalyst have been discussed. The results revealed that Ag-doped ZnO nanorods with a diameter of 30?nm showed highest photocatalytic activity at a surface density of 1?g?dm^?3. The catalyst doped with 0.2?mol% Ag is effective for the degradation of phosphamidon with visible light. This opens a new possibility to decompose pesticides that are present in wastewater.     

Effects of cerium oxide nanoparticles on biochemical and oxidative parameters in marigold leaves

Abstract

The effects of suspensions of cerium oxide nanoparticles sprayed onto marigold seedlings (Calendula officinalis L.) at concentrations between 50 and 3200 mg L^?1 were studied. At concentrations of 50 and 100 mg L^?1, the nanoparticles had a slight positive effect on some growth parameters, but at higher concentrations they caused severe oxidative damage. Activities of phenylalanine ammonia lyase and lipoxygenase increased from 400 mg L^?1 upward, tyrosine ammonia lyase from 1600 mg L^?1. Ascorbate and glutathione contents decreased from 400 mg L^?1 upwards.
