The activated carbon was characterized by its functional groups, thermal stability, surface morphology, and elemental identification by using FTIR, TGA/DTA, and SEM/EDAX. Additionally, the AC remediation strength was assessed with dye (Congo Red) under various\u0000 parameters like dosage and pH; and the Langmuir and Freundlich adsorption isotherm prototypes were used to evaluate the utmost uptake (qmax) of Congo Red by the adsorptive material. The maximum dye adsorption capacity was achieved at 24.35 g/L and fits well in the Langmuir\u0000 isotherm model.

At present, effects of chemical fertilizer reduction with biochar application on the microbial community in the rhizosphere soil need to be further investigated. In this study, konjac (Amorphophallus\u0000 konjac K. Koch) was taken as the research subject, and analyzing the microbial α-diversity, amplicon sequence variants (ASVs) community composition in rhizosphere were analyzed using high-throughput sequencing technology, and tuber yield was calculated. Four treatments of\u0000 chemical fertilizer with biochar application were set, T1: common fertilizer 20 g/plant, T2: common fertilizer 10 g/plant, T3: controlled-release fertilizers 10 g/plant, T4: controlled-release fertilizers 10 g/plant with biochar 100 g/plant. The results found that, the Chao1 index, number\u0000 of unique ASVs, and total ASV of rhizosphere soil bacteria in T2 increased by 14.45, 13.39, and 14.36% respectively, compared to T1; while that of fungal abundance decreased by 17.82, 48.28, and 18.42%.

However, T4 treatment had a significantly higher yield than T3\u0000 treatment (P = 0.076), and T4 treatment was significantly higher than T1 treatment (P < 0.05).

The unique short-range ordered graphene sheet and defective amorphous domain composite structure of hard carbon (HC) provide favorable support for the storage and\u0000 adsorption of potassium ions. In this paper, derived biomass carbons (DBCs) as a HC material were prepared by simple two-step carbonization of pre-carbonized at 500 °C and the graphitization transformation at a higher carbonization temperature employing the distilled grain biomass as a\u0000 carbon source. The effect of carbonization temperature at the second step on the surface structure and electrochemical performance of the DBCs applied in PIBs were checked. It was found that 900 °C of carbonization temperature was favored for the formation of DBCs with a proper degree\u0000 of graphitization, large lattice spacing (3.55 Å), and large specific surface area (111.9 m2/g−1).

In this work, the dynamic characteristics of rhizosphere bacterial communities during the growth period of cultivated strawberry\u0000 (Fragaria×ananassa ‘Hongyan’) were investigated, and the dominant bacterial species in different growth stages were identified. High-throughput sequencing (HTS) was employed to obtain operational taxonomic unit (OTU) abundance, bacterial community diversity,\u0000 and abundance of rhizosphere bacteria at five growth stages of strawberry: growth period (A1.1), budding period (A2.2), flowering period (AB3.2), fruiting period (AB4.1) and mature fruit period (AB5.2). The composition and abundance of bacterial communities structure were analyzed using the\u0000 unweighted pair group method with arithmetic means (UPGMA) cluster analysis. The result indicated that, in the flowering stage the bacterial community exhibited the highest diversity and richness, while the bud stage had the least. The flowering stage showed a greater specific bacteria species\u0000 in the strawberry rhizosphere, followed by growth, mature and harvest stages, and the lowest in the bud stage. The main dominant phyla were Actinobacteria, Proteobacteria and Acidobacteria, accounting for over 70% of the total bacterial abundance.
