As a central part of the global N cycle, soil N supply from net N mineralization (NNM) and net nitrification (NN) contributes to over 50% of crop N uptake. However, how global land use changes impact soil N supply and potential N loss remains elusive. By compiling a global data set of 1,782 paired observations from 185 publications, we show that land use conversion from natural to managed ecosystems significantly reduced NNM by 7.5% (-11.5, -2.8%) and increased NN by 150% (86, 194%), indicating decreasing N availability while increasing potential N loss through denitrification and nitrate leaching. In contrast, reversing managed to natural ecosystems significantly increased NNM by 20% (9.7, 25.4%) and decreased NN by 89% (-125, -46%), indicating increasing N availability while decreasing potential N loss. Structural equation modeling revealed that land use change induced changes in soil properties, including organic matter content, bulk density, microbial biomass and pH, and anthropogenic activities, including application of ammonium-based fertilizers and manure, were the most important factors regulating NNM and NN. The land use change effect was the strongest in tropical and subtropical regions, where NNM was negatively affected and NN positively affected by land use change. Our findings indicate that increasing soil organic matter content and enhancing soil structural development post land use change can boost soil N supply and reduce the risk for N loss.","PeriodicalId":36,"journal":{"name":"环境科学与技术","volume":"24 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":9.028,"publicationDate":"2025-08-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144851055","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Extending the lifespan of concrete is highly efficient in achieving net-zero greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 2050. Biomineralization for concrete corrosion inhibition (BCCI) was previously proposed and demonstrated to effectively protect marine concrete in laboratory experiments, showing promise for decarbonization due to potentially increased lifespans. The potential of BCCI for decarbonization and sustainability warrants further investigation. Therefore, this study evaluated its impact on GHG emissions for insights into global decarbonization. Field corrosion experiments were conducted to ascertain its effectiveness as a valuable GHG calculation input, including biofilm community analysis and microstructure and macroscopic measurements of concrete. Results show that BCCI decreased the total/relative abundances of corrosive bacteria, inhibited sulfate and chloride diffusion, and enhanced carbon functions, irrespective of concrete type. Moreover, BCCI significantly reduced GHG emissions, particularly in 20 MPa concrete. BCCI demonstrated substantial GHG mitigation potential in China, Indonesia, and the USA, which enabled a competitive 37-65% reduction in global GHG from producing underwater concrete. In the long term, this strategy would yield more sustainable development benefits. Findings contribute to achieving global decarbonization and multiple sustainable development goals for concrete sectors and coastal infrastructures.","PeriodicalId":36,"journal":{"name":"环境科学与技术","volume":"79 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":9.028,"publicationDate":"2025-08-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144851119","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the effects of quenchers on the chemodiversity and stability of low- and non-volatile Xn-DBPs are still poorly understood. Four quenchers─sodium sulfite (SS), sodium thiosulfate (STS), ascorbic acid (AA), and 1,3,5-trimethoxybenzene (TMB)─were employed to elucidate their influences on the non-targeted analysis of Xn-DBPs using Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry under negative electrospray ionization mode (ESI(-)-FT-ICR MS). Compared with the insignificant difference in decomposed Xn-DBPs, the average number of additionally formed Xn-DBPs for AA was significantly lower than that for SS (31 ± 18 versus 67 ± 35) at their optimum doses. The decomposition and additional formation caused by three reductive quenchers on the characterization of Xn-DBPs and their precursors followed the order: AA < STS < SS. Moreover, TMB was recommended to quench residual chlorine for one hour at the quencher-to-residual chlorine molar ratio of 2.00 because of its advantages in avoiding the decomposition of redox-sensitive Xn-DBPs and additional formation of Xn-DBPs by ESI(-)-FT-ICR MS, while exhibiting insignificant impacts on the overall molecular characteristics of DOM.

Herein, 3-iodopropyltrimethoxysilane (IPTMS) is introduced as a multifunctional additive into the perovskite precursor to address these limitations. During thermal annealing, IPTMS molecules undergo an in situ hydrolysis-driven cross-linking reaction, consuming residual water while constructing a hydrophobic polysiloxane network at grain boundaries, thus effectively shielding films against moisture infiltration. Concurrently, IPTMS can modulate crystallization kinetics via slowing down crystal growth to generate high-quality films. Furthermore, the iodine groups in IPTMS can favorably interact with the electron-rich sites in the CsPbI3 film, resulting in a notable reduction of trap states and enhanced stability of the perovskite octahedral framework. Consequently, the optimized inverted devices deliver a champion efficiency of 20.36% with much improved long-term device stability. Besides, the incorporation of IPTMS endows the fabrication of efficient devices even in a high humid atmosphere, yielding an impressive efficiency of 19.50%.","PeriodicalId":62,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of Physical Chemistry Letters","volume":"749 1","pages":"8632-8641"},"PeriodicalIF":6.475,"publicationDate":"2025-08-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144851031","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Deep mutational scanning (DMS) is a powerful biochemical experimental technique that can characterize the impact of mutations on protein sequence-function relationships, allowing for rapid assessment of new mutations. Herein, machine learning (ML) models were built using the SARS-CoV-2 DMS data set, with the input features derived from the Rosetta-computed decomposition energy terms. To improve the performance of this physics-based model, we further incorporated local environment information (the number of residue pair-specific contacts within shells at different distances) as the input features. Alternatively, a convolutional neural network (CNN) model based on amino-acid sequence information as well as their physicochemical and biochemical properties was also employed, yielding predictions that achieved good agreement with the experimental data. In addition, compared to three popular protein language models, the dual-encoding CNN model demonstrated consistently superior performance on the SARS-CoV-2 DMS data set and seven additional DMS data sets for different biological properties. Furthermore, a transfer-learning strategy was applied to fine-tune the CNN model using recently reported DMS data sets for the Alpha, Delta, and Omicron BA.1, BA.2, and XBB.1.5 variants, enabling the development of variant-specific prediction models. These ML models trained on DMS data sets can not only identify the effects of single-point mutations in mutagenesis data sets but also be useful in predicting the effects of multiple-point mutations and providing valuable information for ongoing viral surveillance efforts. Moreover, this dual-encoding CNN model, without including 3D geometric information, has the potential to be a robust and alternative ML model for other DMS studies.</p>","PeriodicalId":28,"journal":{"name":"Biochemistry Biochemistry","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2025-08-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144853973","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
