“…This process is aided by nutrient recycling, which converts organic to plant-available mineral forms; nutrient storage in SOM; and physical and chemical processes that regulate nutrient sorption, availability, displacement, and eventual losses to the atmosphere and water ( e.g. , nitrogen fixation) ( Canton, 2021 ). These conditions favor faster decomposition and less SOM accumulation ( Cusack et al, 2011 ) in the soil and, consequently, soil C sequestration ( Frey et al, 2014 ).…”

Soil organic carbon (SOC) management has the potential to contribute to climate change mitigation by reducing atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2). Understanding the changes in forest nitrogen (N) deposition rates has important implications for C sequestration. We explored the effects of N enrichment on soil carbon sequestration in nitrogen-limited and nitrogen-rich Chinese forests and their controlling factors. Our findings reveal that N inputs enhanced net soil C sequestration by 5.52–18.46 kg C kg−1 N, with greater impacts in temperate forests (8.37–13.68 kg C kg−1 N), the use of NH4NO3 fertilizer (7.78 kg Ckg−1 N) at low N levels (<30 kg Ckg−1 N; 9.14 kg Ckg−1 N), and in a short period (<3 years; 12.95 kg C kg−1 N). The nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) varied between 0.24 and 13.3 (kg C kg−1 N) depending on the forest type and was significantly controlled by rainfall, fertilizer, and carbon-nitrogen ratio rates. Besides, N enrichment increased SOC concentration by an average of 7% and 2% for tropical and subtropical forests, respectively. Although soil carbon sequestration was higher in the topsoil compared to the subsoil, the relative influence indicated that nitrogen availability strongly impacts the SOC, followed by dissolved organic carbon concentration and mean annual precipitation. This study highlights the critical role of soil NUE processes in promoting soil C accumulation in a forest ecosystem.

“…According to the food and agriculture organization of the United Nations, the latest forecast for world cereal production in 2021 stands at 2.793 million tonnes, 0.8% higher year on year (Canton, 2021). Grains are important sources of diet proteins, and for some populations, they are the major protein sources (Duranti, 2006).…”

The COVID‐19 pandemic is shaking up global scientific structures toward addressing antibiotic resistance threats and indicates an urgent need to develop more cost‐effective vaccines. Vaccine adjuvants play a crucial role in boosting immunogenicity and improving vaccine efficacy. The toxicity and adversity of most adjuvant formulations are the major human immunization problems, especially in routine pediatric and immunocompromised patients. The present review focused on preclinical studies of immunoadjuvant plant proteins in use with antiparasitic, antifungal, and antiviral vaccines. Moreover, this report outlines the current perspective of immunostimulant plant protein candidates that can be used by researchers in developing new generations of vaccine‐adjuvants. Future clinical studies are required to substantiate the plant proteins' safety and applicability as a vaccine adjuvant in pharmaceutical manufacturing.

“…First, we asked the month they resumed to work and the pandemic impact on farms and production stages, including labor recruitment, algae/feed production or purchase, seed production (hatchery and seed collection) or purchase, nursery, intermediate cultivation, grow-out, harvesting, processing, logistics and sales (Yang et al, 2016), and then the changes in production, the number of employees and per capita labor costs this year compared to previous years. As bivalve growers generally do not need to feed their brood (FAO, 2021), the question about 'algae/feed production or purchase' would be skipped, if feeding was not required in their shellfish farms. And if nursery, intermediate cultivation, grow-out or processing was not involved in the farm, the corresponding questions would be skipped as well.…”
