Stomata as the Main Pathway for the Penetration of Atmospheric Particulate Matter Pb into Wheat Leaves by Ke Zhang, Yujing Liang, Chuang Ma, Haopeng Guo, Fuyong Liu, Aihua Gao, Nan Liu, Hongzhong Zhang

“…In this study, spraying Pb(NO₃)₂ (Treatment T1) and spraying PbS (Treatment T2) were used as soluble and insoluble Pb, respectively, to evaluate the primary pathways of APM-Pb absorption by wheat leaves, as well as the translocation and accumulation patterns of Pb within the wheat plant. The results showed that both soluble and insoluble Pb can be absorbed by wheat leaves. …”

Estimating lateral nitrogen transfers over the last century through the global river network using a land surface model by M. Ma, H. Zhang, R. Lauerwald, P. Ciais, P. Regnier

“…Compared to previously published regional or global aquatic N transfer models (IMAGE-GNM, FrAMES-N, MBM, DLEM, and GlobalNEWS2), our model produces similar global- and continental-scale TN exports to the ocean but shows distinct patterns at the finer scale of river basins. LSM_Nlateral_Off is here coupled to the land surface model (LSM) ORCHIDEE, but the offline approach implemented in this work facilitates its coupling with other land surface models in the future such as those synthesised by the Global N<span class="inline-formula">₂</span>O Model Intercomparison Project (NMIP). …”
