  • Effect of nitrogen addition on N 2 O emission from soils during freeze–thaw periods

    Open AccessFang Liu, Wei Zhang et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2026

    Increased nitrogen (N) availability resulting from N addition may modify N turnover and nitrous oxide (N 2 O) emissions in regions experiencing freeze–thaw cycles, where relatively high N 2 O emissions from soils are frequently reported during freeze–thaw periods. However, the response of soil N 2 O emissions during freeze–thaw periods to N addition remains unclear. In this study, we compiled 675 paired observational cases from 36 peer-reviewed a…

  • Sarcopenia risk along the cardiovascular-kidney-metabolic syndrome spectrum

    Open AccessDingding Wang, Meng Zhang et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2025

    Sarcopenia is a progressive skeletal muscle disorder that contributes to disability, chronic disease burden, and mortality. While the roles of metabolic, cardiovascular, and kidney dysfunction are individually recognized, the collective influence of cardiovascular-kidney-metabolic (CKM) syndrome on sarcopenia remains uncharacterized. Furthermore, it is unclear whether physical inactivity amplifies this risk. This study is the first to apply the r…

  • Tea-planted soils as global hotspots for N 2 O emissions from croplands

    Open AccessYan Wang, Zhisheng Yao et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2020

    Tea-planted soils generally receiving high nitrogen (N) fertilizer doses are more vulnerable to acidification, and turn into significant sources of the potent greenhouse gas nitrous oxide (N 2 O). However, little is known about the magnitude of soil N 2 O emissions from global tea plantations. Based on a global meta-analysis of field experimental data collected from major tea growing countries, we quantify annual N 2 O emissions, calculate direct…

  • Soil N intensity as a measure to estimate annual N2O and NO fluxes from natural and managed ecosystems

    Open AccessZhisheng Yao, David E Pelster et al.ARTICLECurrent Opinion in Environmental…2020References: 1

    As natural and managed terrestrial ecosystems are major sources of the potent greenhouse gas nitrous oxide (N2O) and of the atmospheric pollutant nitric oxide (NO), predicting the source strengths of these ecosystems is central to understanding and sustainably managing the N-oxides fluxes. Here we reviewed 82 high temporal resolution datasets on N2O and 57 on NO fluxes collected from multi-site and multi-year field measurements, including grassla…

  • Is green tea still ‘green’

    Open AccessYong Li, Xunhua Zheng et al.ARTICLEGeo Geography and Environment2016

    The contemporary tea industry in China is associated with high tea production and high nitrous oxide (N 2 O) emissions, due to the application of large quantities of nitrogen (N) fertilisers, and the intrinsic characteristics of tea field soils. In total, the Chinese tea plantations may have emitted 40.9 Gg N year –1 of N 2 O for 2013, accounting for 85% of emissions from global tea plantations. Such emissions are significant, unneglectable and n…

  • Fiscal Reform and Public Education Spending

    Wen Wang, Xunhua Zheng et al.ARTICLEPublius The Journal of Federalism2012Cited by: 27References: 12

    Since the 1990s, China has pushed forward the province-managing-county (PMC) reform in some provinces as an experiment of fiscal decentralization. The reform provides a good opportunity to examine the impact of fiscal decentralization on fiscal behaviors of local governments in China. Using a data set of 108 counties in Henan Province during 1999--2008, we employ a difference-in-differences approach to investigate how the PMC reform affects local…

  • The Asian Nitrogen Cycle Case Study

    Xunhua Zheng, Congbin Fu et al.ARTICLEAMBIO2002Cited by: 4

    We analyzed nitrogen budgets at national and regional levels on a timeline from 1961-2030 using a model, IAP-N 1.0. The model was designed based upon the Inter-governmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) methods using Asia-specific parameters and a Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) database. In this paper we discuss new reactive-nitrogen and its various fates, and environmental nitrogen enrichment and its driving force…
