Aerosol Ammonium in Urban Boundary Layer in Beijing
In recent years, many studies have focused on the chemical composition, sources and formation mechanisms of atmospheric fine aerosols (PM2.5), as haze pollution has become a severe issue in China and many other countries. Since inorganic nitrogen (IN) contributes a large fraction to PM2.5andammonium (NH4+) is an important species of IN, researchers have paid specific attention to ambient NH3and...

Fungus-initiated Catalytic Reactions Occur at Hyphal-mineral Interfaces
The ability of fungi to withstand a wide range of minerals influences plant nutrition and enhances global biogeochemical cycles of life-essential elements. The fungus-mineral interface plays a key role in weathering, but the specific mechanisms underlying these processes remain poorly understood.Researchers from Tianjin University’s School of Surface-Earth System Science examined fungal-minera...
