This paper describes a new method to monitor continuously soil CO2 profiles using small solid-state CO2 sensors buried at different depths of the soil. Based on the measurement of soil CO2 profile and a gaseous diffusivity model, we estimated soil CO2 efflux, which was mainly from heterotrophic respiration, and its temporal variation in a dry season in a Mediterranean savanna ecosystem in Calif...

Different alkylamine molecules were post-synthetically tethered to the unsaturated Cr(III) centers in the metal-organic framework MIL-101. The resultant metal-organic frameworks show almost no N2 adsorption with significantly enhanced CO2 capture under ambient conditions as a result of the interaction between amine groups and CO2 molecules. Given the extraordinary stability, high CO2 uptake, ul...

The degree of CO2 activation can be tuned by incorporating a distinct electronic coordination environment at the nickel center. A mononuclear nickel carboxylate species (Ni-CO2, 3) and a dinuclear nickel-iron carboxylate species (Ni-CO2-Fe, 5) were prepared. The structure of 3 reveals a rare η1-κC binding mode of CO2, while that of 5 shows bridging CO2 binding (μ2-κC:κ2O,O') between the nickel ...

Carbon dioxide (CO2) is the gaseous end product of the aerobic metabolism of oxygen. CO2 is highly soluble in body tissues, and readily diffuses from cells to blood, where circulation transports it to the lungs for elimination. Divers often ignore carbon dioxide, as CO2 is a normal part of life. However, CO2 may have definite and detrimental effects if a diver accumulates an excessive amount of...

The stimulation of plant growth by elevated CO2 concentration has been widely observed. Such fertilization, and associated carbon storage, could dampen future increases in atmospheric CO2 levels and associated climate warming1. However, the CO2 fertilization of plant biomass may be sensitive to nitrogen supply2–4. Herein we show that in the latest decade of a long-term perennial grassland exper...

in order to study the effects of co2 enrichment on growth and competitiveness of soybean (glycine max) and millet (panicum miliaceum) against redroot pigweed (amaranthus retroflexus) and lambsquarter (chenopodium albam) an experiment was conducted using two co2 concentrations (350 and 700 ppm). for evaluating effects of co2 variation on inter-and intra-specific competition plants were grown in ...

Multiple breath wash-out (MBW) testing requires prior wash-in of inert tracer gas. Wash-in efficiency can be enhanced by a rebreathing tracer in a closed circuit. Previous attempts to deploy this did not account for the impact of CO2 accumulation on patients and were unsuccessful. We hypothesised that an effective rebreathe wash-in could be delivered and it would not alter wash-out parameters. ...

The immobilisation of electrocatalysts for CO2 reduction onto light harvesting semiconductors is proposed to be an important step towards developing more efficient CO2 reduction photoelectrodes. Here, we report a low cost nickel cyclam complex covalently anchored to a metal oxide surface. Using transient spectroscopy we validate the role of surface immobilisation on enhancing the rate of photoe...

The title complex, [Co(C7H7N4O2)2(H2O)4], comprises mononuclear mol-ecules consisting of a CoII ion, two deprotonated theophylline ligands (systematic name: 1,3-dimethyl-7H-purine-2,6-dione) and four coordinating water mol-ecules. The CoII atom lies on an inversion centre and has a slightly distorted octa-hedral coordination environment, with two N atoms of two trans-oriented theophylline ligan...
