TL;DR: In this article, paddy soil slurries were incubated under anaerobic conditions for 60 days with and without the addition of biochar (3, w/w) prepared from rice straw at 500°C.

TL;DR: Biochar amendments with high pH and surface area might be effective to mitigate emission of both N2O and CH4 from paddy soil to study their influences on greenhouse gas emissions.

TL;DR: Li et al. as discussed by the authors explored microbial mechanisms of straw-induced changes in CO2, CH4, and N2O emissions from paddy field, wheat straw was amended to two paddy soils from Taizhou (TZ) and Yixing (YX), China for 60 days under flooded condition.

TL;DR: In this paper, the role of soil properties in driving the evolution of anode bacterial communities was evaluated for five paddy soils with different chemical properties, and the bacterial communities at anodes of closed (MFC running) and open (control) circuit MFCs were characterized using 16S rRNA gene-based Illumina sequencing.

TL;DR: The results suggest that Synechocystis ArsH had no substrate specificities and shared some biochemical properties that other enzymes possessed, and may be involved in coordinating oxidative stress response generated by arsenic.
