As a new strategy to combat global climate change and achieve sustainable development, a marine low-carbon economy has gradually gained attention in recent years. A variety of reasons are fueling the creation of a marine low-carbon economy. The digital economy (DE) has demonstrated a significant...

In this work, goethite modified activated carbon (α-FeOOH@AC) was synthesized by wetness-impregnation and used as a persulfate (S2O82-, PS) activator to inactivate Escherichia coli in water. Surficial analysis displayed that micron-sized (0.5 to 1 μm) α-FeOOH particles were uniformly...

Buildings consume a significant amount of energy, resulting in detrimental impacts on the environment. Building operations in Australia are responsible for 26% of the country's energy consumption, resulting in 280,000 tons of CO2 emissions each day. In addressing the detrimental impacts of...

Lime has been widely applied for ameliorating soil acidification, potentially improving soil fertility and crop production. However, the effects of long-term liming and its interaction with carbon (C) availability on the emission and temperature sensitivity (Q10) of N2O from acidic arable soils...

Soil enzymes are the most potent bioactive components of forest ecosystems. They are involved in carbon and nutrient cycling, and the ratio of ligninase to cellulase activity can be used to effectively track changes in the soil carbon (C) pools for microbial assimilation. However, our...
