    Microplastics were plastic particles with a size of smaller than 5 millimetres, which were abundant and persistent in soil, posing a serious global environmental problem. Microplastics entered the crop body through the roots or leaves and affected different stages of crop growth. The pathways of microplastics entering the crop body and the detection methods of microplastics in crops of existing research were summarized, and the effects of different microplastics on crop germination rate, biomass, photosynthesis, oxidative stress system, nutrients, gene expression, etc. were explored. It was found that the influence of microplastics on crops varied with the characteristics of microplastics, crop species and environmental factors. Under certain experimental conditions, microplastics had no effect or a positive effect on crops. However, more studies had shown that microplastics could inhibit crop growth and ultimately affect crop yield. Moreover, microplastics could be enriched upward through food chains and affect human health.

    In order to meet the practical needs of reducing pollution and fixing carbon in cadmium polluted rice fields, iron-based biochar was selected as the research object. Through field experiments, soil and rice grain samples were collected, and the soil available cadmium contents, organic carbon contents, and rice grain cadmium concentrations and their correlation were analyzed. The results showed that compared to the control, iron-based biochar reduced the effective cadmium content in paddy soil by 11.98%~28.71%, increased soil organic carbon content by 3.66%~12.88%, and reduced the cadmium content in rice grains by 4.16%~63.58%. There was a highly significant negative correlation (P<0.01) between soil available cadmium and organic carbon content, and a highly significant positive correlation (P<0.01) between soil available cadmium and rice grain cadmium content. Therefore, iron-based biochar was beneficial for achieving cadmium reduction and carbon sequestration in rice fields contaminated with cadmium.

    Taking Changzhou City of Jiangsu Province as the study area, based on remote sensing images from 2000 to 2020, the FLUS model and the ecosystem service value (ESV) assessment method were used to systematically study the impacts of land use changes on ESV in Changzhou City in 2035 under three different scenarios of natural development, cultivated land preservation and ecological protection. The results showed that the dynamic degree of land use in Changzhou City showed a downward trend from 2000 to 2020. Among them, the highest amount of transferred out was cultivated land, and the highest amount of transferred in was construction land. The ESV in Changzhou City from 2000 to 2020 demonstrated a trend of initially increasing and then decreasing, owing to the impact of land use changes. The water area exerted the primary impact on the change of ESV, and regulatory and support services were the two main ecosystem service functions in Changzhou City. The ESV of Changzhou City exhibited significant variations under different scenario simulations, with the natural development scenario resulting in the lowest ESV and the ecological protection scenario resulting in the highest ESV. Finally, it was recommended that the ecological protection scenario was the best development model to optimize the regional land use structure and maintain the value of ecosystem services, which should be used as a long-term development strategy for future land use in Changzhou City.

    HUBEI AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES    2024, 63 (7): 244-249.   DOI: 10.14088/j.cnki.issn0439-8114.2024.07.039
    Abstract488)      PDF (4672KB)(1400)       Save
    Using four sub indicators and two intermediate variables as conditional variables to construct a comprehensive evaluation index for the digital economy, the fuzzy set qualitative comparative analysis method was used to explore the configuration path. According to the entropy method, the comprehensive score of the development level of the digital economy showed an upward trend from 2016 to 2022, with the national comprehensive score of the development level of the digital economy increasing from 0.091 in 2016 to 0.257 in 2022. The comprehensive score of rural revitalization development level showed an upward trend from 2016 to 2022, with the national comprehensive score of rural revitalization development level increasing from 0.228 in 2016 to 0.394 in 2022. In the necessity validation of conditional variables, the consistency results were all below 0.900, indicating that all conditional variables were not necessary conditions for the outcome variables. In the adequacy verification, the original coverage of configuration path R1 was 0.513, the original coverage of configuration path R2 was 0.327, and the overall coverage was 0.566, indicating that both conditional configurations could explain the reasons for the increase in rural revitalization level. In configuration path R1, development environment and human capital were the core conditions, while digital industrialization, digital finance, and technological innovation level were the marginal conditions, playing an auxiliary role, while industrial digitization had almost no effect;in the configuration path R2, the development environment, digital industrialization, digital finance, and technological innovation level were core conditions. The degree of industrial digitization was relatively low, and human capital was almost ineffective, indicating that the configuration of rural revitalization conditions had the characteristics of high digital economy and low industrial digitization. When the threshold for consistency increases, the condition configuration results of rural revitalization level remained unchanged, indicating that the model had high stability.

    The single factor experiments were conducted with the addition of gelatin, Polygonatum sibiricum pulp, white granulated sugar and malic acid-citric acid ratio. The processing parameters of Polygonatum sibiricum soft candy were determined by sensory evaluation. Based on the single factor experiments, Box-Behnken response surface methodology was used to design 17 groups of treatments with three factors and three levels to optimize the processing technology of Polygonatum sibiricum soft candy. The results showed that the optimum preparation condition of Polygonatum sibiricum soft candy was as follows: the addition of gelatin was 3.00%, Polygonatum sibiricum pulp was 30.00%, white granulated sugar was 15.00% and malic acid-citric acid ratio was 1∶ 2. Under this condition, the highest sensory score was 86.69 points, which was close to the theoretical value. The Polygonatum sibiricum soft candy prepared under the process formula had a unique Polygonatum sibiricum flavor, moderately sour and sweet taste, golden and bright color, good elasticity and chewability, and retained more nutritional value of Polygonatum sibiricum, providing a new idea for the development of functional soft candy of Polygonatum sibiricum.

    The efficacy comparison of ten essential oils on the inhibition of fungal growth and mycotoxin accumulation was carried out to provide reference for the development of green and efficient bacteriostatic agents. The essential oils were extracted by steam distillation method and analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Fumigation was used to test the inhibition on Aspergillus flavus, Aspergillus niger of essential oils. Aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) and ochratoxin A (OTA) were determined by ultrahigh-performance liquid chromatography-triple quadrupole tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS). The results showed that, significant differences were found in the antifungal and antitoxin accumulation effects of ten essential oils. Cinnamon oil could completely inhibit the growth of A. flavus, A. niger and mycotoxins accumulation, while essential oils of Cymbopogon nardus, Dalbergia odorifera, Pogostemon cablin and Eugenia cayophyllata could inhibit the growth of the two fungi and mycotoxins. However, the antifungal effect of other essential oils was not significant. Methyl eugenol, patchouli alcohol, citral, cinnamaldehyde, trans-nerolidol and its oxides might be the components that exerted antifungal effects. Fragrance essential oils had the potential to be developed as green preservatives.

    Based on the provincial panel data of China from 2012 to 2021, the impact of the development of the digital economy on urban-rural integration and its mechanisms were examined by using fixed-effect models, mediating-effect models and threshold-effect models. The results showed that the development of the digital economy could significantly promote the process of urban - rural integration in China. Compared with regions with a high level of urban-rural integration, the development of the digital economy had a greater promoting effect in regions with a low level of urban-rural integration. This mechanism was realized through two channels: Labor transfer and enhancing regional development capabilities. Further exploration was conducted and it was revealed that the development of the digital economy presented non-linear characteristics in urban-rural integration. When the regional economic development level crossed two thresholds, the enabling effect of the digital economy on the development of urban-rural integration gradually slowed down. Therefore, local digital economy construction should be continuously improved, labor transfer should be rationally guided, the endogenous driving force of regional development should be strengthened, and differential policies should be implemented according to local conditions, so as to share the dividends of the digital economy and comprehensively promote the in-depth integration of urban and rural areas.

    Taking Licheng County, Changzhi City, Shanxi Province as an example, this study proposed influencing factors of cultivated land abandonment from four aspects: natural conditions, economy, population, and production, based on literature review, field surveys, and expert interviews. The DEMATEL-MICMAC-ISM model was employed to analyze the correlations, importance, hierarchical structure, and driving force-dependency relationships of these factors. The results showed that the 15 influencing factors of cultivated land abandonment were divided into 3 clusters across 6 levels: Direct factors (L1), intermediate factors (L2, L3, L4, L5), and deep factors (L6). Using the MICMAC model, the dependency and driving force values of each factor were calculated, and the driving factors were categorized into four types: linked factors, independent factors, autonomous factors, and dependent factors. Key factors influencing cultivated land abandonment included terrain slope, elevation, background value, expenditure on agriculture, forestry, and water affairs, total agricultural machinery power, location conditions, tillage convenience, and distance to water sources.

    To effectively obtain the parameters to reflect the process of water movement in soil, a hydrodynamic parameter inversion model was proposed based on an improvd butterfly optimization algorithm (IBOA). Building upon the theoretical framework of soil water movement equations, firstly, the butterfly optimization algorithm (BOA) was used to find the optimal solution through the combination of global search and local search, and the switching probability in the BOA was obtained through the random walk algorithm, so as to improve the situation that the algorithm was easy to fall into the local optimum. Secondly, the improved algorithm was applied to the data under the conditions of using HYDRUS-1D to simulate the uniform distribution of unsaturated soil moisture in the initial water content. At last, the appropriate objective function was selected and the improved butterfly optimization algorithm was used for inversion. The results showed that the average relative error of the parameter inversion value of the improve butterfly optimization algorithm was 0.22%~3.60%, which could better invert soil hydrodynamic parameters. The improved butterfly optimization algorithm could effectively improve the accuracy of the estimated parameters and obtain high-quality global optimal solutions.

    To explore and optimize the technology and process of photolytic removal of endogenous polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons(PAHs) in biochar, this study focused on corn stover biochar. Biochar with different particle sizes (>1.0 mm, 0.5~1.0 mm, 0.001~0.5 mm) was prepared, and TiO2-photocatalytic degradation experiments were conducted to systematically analyze the characteristics of the biochar and the efficacy of degrading and removing endogenous PAHs with different particle sizes. The results showed that the endogenous PAHs content in corn stover biochar was 76.1 mg/kg, predominantly comprising 4-ring and 5-ring PAHs, significantly exceeding the limit value for basic biochar PAHs (20 mg/kg) set by the International Biochar Initiative (IBI). TiO2-photocatalysis could significantly reduce the content of endogenous PAHs in biochar. After photocatalytic degradation, the endogenous PAHs content in the three particle sizes of biochar ranged from 3.3 to 14.9 mg/kg, with degradation rates for total PAHs ranging from 55.2% to 95.6%. The maximum degradation rate for high-ring PAHs reached 97.1%, while low-ring PAHs reached 62.0%. The 0.001~0.5 mm particle size biochar exhibited the highest degradation rate of 95.6% after 40 minutes of light exposure, and the toxicity equivalent value decreased from 9.096 mg/kg to 0.088 mg/kg, significantly below the thresholds set by the European Biochar Certification(4 mg/kg) and the International Biochar Initiative(6 mg/kg). The study demonstrated that TiO2-photocatalysis effectively degraded endogenous PAHs in biochar of different particle sizes, ensuring the safety of biochar and its products for application in agricultural fields.
