Response of the C-fixing bacteria community to precipitation changes and its impact on bacterial necromass accumulation in semiarid grassland.

Climate change-induced warming has the potential to intensify drought conditions in certain regions, resulting in uneven precipitation patterns. However, the impact of precipitation-induced changes on soil C-fixing bacterial community composition to changes and their subsequent effect on the accumulation of microbial necromass in the soil remains unclear. To address this knowledge gap, we conducted an in-situ simulated precipitation control experiment in semi-arid grasslands, encompassing five primary precipitation gradients: ambient precipitation as a control (contr), decreased precipitation by 80% and 40% (DP80, DP40), and increased precipitation by 40% and 80% (IP80, IP40). Our findings indicate that while an increase in precipitation promotes greater total bacterial diversity, it reduces the diversity of cbbM-harboring bacteria. The dominance of drought-tolerant Proteobacteria within the cbbM-harboring bacterial community was responsible for the observed increase in their relative abundance, ranging from 8.9% to 15.6%, under conditions of decreased precipitation. In arid environments characterized by limited soil moisture and nutrient availability, certain dominant genera such as Thiobacillus, Sulfuritalea, and Halothiobacillus, which possess cbbM genes, exhibit strong synergistic effects with other bacteria, thereby leading to a high nutrient use efficiency. Linear regression analysis shows that bacterial necromass C was significantly negatively correlated with cbbM-harboring bacterial diversity but positively correlated with cbbM-harboring bacterial community composition. Consequently, in the extreme drought environment of DP80, the contribution of bacterial necromass C to SOC was dramatically reduced by 75% relative to the control. Although bacterial necromass C was preferentially consumed as nutrients and energy for microorganisms, C-fixing microorganisms supplemented the soil C pool by assimilating atmospheric CO2. Bacterial necromass was primarily controlled by accessible C and N rather than by the total bacterial community composition and relative abundance. Our results provide compelling evidence for the critical role of the composition of the bacterial community and its necromass in the accumulation of SOC in semiarid grassland ecosystems.

The study on surface morphology and decorative properties of Magnesium-glass-board (MGB).

In order to improve the decorative properties of Magnesium-Glass-Board (MGB), the surface morphology and decoration performance of MGB, are studied in detail by using profilometer, microscope and SEM, and the influence of its characterization, such as surface roughness, surface porosity and wettability, on decorative properties of MGB is analyzed by comparing with medium density fiberboard (MDF) and medium density particleboard (MDP). The results first showed that the surface of MGB has a porous structure, but MDF and MDP are not, resulting in a poor decorative performance of MGB. Second, it is found that the surface wettability of MGB is better than others. Third, the hot-pressing parameters including pressure, temperature and time have different influence on decorative performance of MGB during hot-pressing experiment. Finally, the surface bonding strength is positively correlated with pressure, but not with temperature and time. In general, a higher surface bonding strength led to a better decorative performance of MGB. The furthermore research can concentrate on the modification method of the MGB's surface according to this paper's conclusion to improve the lamination performance of melamine paper.
