However, the carbon sequestration potential of biochar and the pathways that influence soil organic carbon (SOC) mineralization are still unclear. Biochar carbon stability experiments revealed the carbon sequestration potential of biochar prepared using different pyrolysis temperatures. Additionally, the effects and pathways of different biochar additions (0%, 0.1%, 1.5%, and 3%) on the mineralization of SOC were explored through soil mineralization experiments and a path model. The results showed that as the preparation temperature of biochar increased from 300℃ to 600℃, the carbon loss due to chemical oxidation decreased from 46.82% to 14.11%, and the microbial mineralization amount decreased from 3.5% to 0.2%, suggesting that the carbon sequestration potential of biochar at 600℃ was better. Soil mineralization experiments were conducted using 600℃ biochar. The addition of 1.5% biochar resulted in the lowest mineralization rate. The use of biochar increased the SOC content by 1.83 to 3.94 times and decreased the accumulated mineralization amount by 3.43% to 19.1%. The partial least squares path model was used to quantify and reveal the pathways of biochar affecting SOC mineralization in coastal wetlands, as follows: Biochar released a high content of stabilized carbon that is not easily utilized by microorganisms, leading to a low mineralization rate, and biochar increased the content and stability of macroaggregates that physically encapsulated the SOC, promoting carbon sequestration and inhibiting SOC mineralization.

Furthermore, it plays a vital role in developing approaches to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. To investigate the effects of different grazing intensities on greenhouse gas emissions in typical steppe ecosystems, four treatments were established: no grazing (CK), light grazing (LG), moderate grazing, and heavy grazing (HG). The greenhouse gas emission fluxes were measured using the static dark chamber infrared spectroscopy method. The results showed that: ① Significant seasonal changes exist in ecosystem respiration and CH<sub>4</sub> emission flux. Compared with the CK treatment, the HG treatment significantly reduced the total ecosystem respiration emission by 31.43%, while the total CH<sub>4</sub> emission was not significant among all treatments. Compared with the LG treatment, the HG treatment significantly reduced the total N<sub>2</sub>O emission by 94.03% (<i>P</i> <0.05). ② A significant linear correlation exists between the values of ecosystem respiration pairs and soil temperature (<i>P</i> <0.001), and there was a significant linear relationship between ecosystem respiration and soil water content under the CK and HG treatments (<i>P</i> <0.05), mainly related to soil temperature.

In a long-term positioning test of simulating nitrogen deposition from 2018, four different treatments were selected: CK [0 kg·(hm<sup>2</sup>·a)<sup>-1</sup>], low nitrogen LN [50 kg·(hm<sup>2</sup>·a)<sup>-1</sup>], middle nitrogen MN [100 kg·(hm<sup>2</sup>·a)<sup>-1</sup>], and high nitrogen HN [150 kg·(hm<sup>2</sup>·a)<sup>-1</sup>].

The results showed that: ① Compared to those in the control, the contents of SOC, DOC, EOC, POC, and MBC increased significantly with the increase in nitrogen deposition. By contrast, HFOC tended to decrease under the higher nitrogen deposition treatment. ② The input of nitrogen improved the carbon pool activity index and carbon pool management indicators significantly with the increase in nitrogen deposition levels. Nitrogen deposition enhanced the activities of sucrase, amylase, and dehydrogenase related to carbon cycling and improved soil carbon pool quality effectively. ③ The correlation and redundancy analysis between organic carbon components and soil environmental factors showed that soil pH, organic carbon content, and activated carbon components were negatively related.

After sampling 19 typical sewage treatment processes in six large cities in China during summer and winter, the results of MiSeq high-throughput sequencing and the Microbial Database for Activated Sludge(MiDAS)comparison and classification showed that the core communities in Chinese sewage treatment processes were significantly similar: 29 genera could be observed in all 38 samples, while 1 901 genera were found in 1 or a few (<i>n</i><10) processes; the abundance of high-frequency genera was high, whereas the abundance of low-frequency genera was relatively low, with 286 genera, numbering only 10% of all species, accounting for up to 80% of the total cumulative abundance. Among the dominant genera in the core community, the carbon removal populations were mainly dominated by anaerobic fermentation and aerobic/anaerobic heterotrophic bacteria, such as <i>Bacillus</i> and <i>Lysinbacillus</i>, which have strong survivability in various environments; the anaerobic fermenters <i>Intestinibacter</i> and <i>Thermomonas</i>, which are characterized by the function of substrate fermentation and parthenogenetic anaerobic fermenters <i>Entercoccus</i>; aerobic/anaerobic heterotrophic <i>Ferruginibacter</i>, <i>IMCC26207</i>, and <i>Hyphomicrobium</i>; <i>Rhodoplanes</i>, <i>Ottowia</i>, and <i>Iamia</i> with a denitrification function; <i>Paracoccus</i> with suspected denitrification function; and other functional genera.

Four types of inter-field management measures were established, including conventional no-mulch (NM), straw mulch (SM), mulch mulch (PM), and ridge mulch (RPM). The changes in soil nutrients and extracellular enzyme activities, their ecological stoichiometry and influencing factors under different cover measures, were investigated using a one-way analysis of variance, a stoichiometric model of soil extracellular enzymes, and redundancy analysis (RDA). The results showed that mulching significantly affected soil basal nutrients (<i>P</i> <0.05) and that the dissolubility of organic carbon, available nitrogen (AN), and available phosphorus (AP) showed significant dynamic changes with plant growth. The extracellular enzyme activity of C, N, and P cycles showed a positive response and increased or changed by 21.03%-161.14%, 1.11%-60.68%, and 17.55%-37.66%, respectively, with the effect of SM and RPM being more significant. During long-term tillage, soil microorganisms as a whole faced C and N nutrient limitations. Under the mulching treatment, the vector angle increased significantly by 11.52%-23.17% in the early growth stage of crops, indicating that the microbial nitrogen limitation was alleviated, while the overall vector length showed an increasing trend and increased by 10.38%-84.38%. Additionally, the level of C restriction became stronger over time.
