The degradation of dyes is a difficult task due to their persistent and stable nature; therefore, developing materials with desirable properties degrade an important area research. In the present study, we propose simple, one-pot mechanochemical approach synthesize CuO nanoparticles (NPs) using leaf extract Seriphidium oliverianum, as reducing stabilizing agent. NPs were characterized via X-ray...

BACKGROUND Climate change scenarios that include precipitation shifts and nitrogen (N) deposition are impacting carbon (C) budgets in arid ecosystems. Roots constitute an important part of the C cycle, but it is still unclear which factors control root mass loss and nutrient release in arid lands. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS Litterbags were used to investigate the decomposition rate and nu...

Enclosure is commonly used in the restoration of degraded grasslands. However, effects enclosure on grassland plant and soil remain controversial, particularly deserts. To assess desert plants properties, using high throughput sequencing, differences between were systematically analyzed before after construction. The organic carbon, total nitrogen phosphorus contents three flora increased decre...
