Soil microbial responses to forest floor litter manipulation and nitrogen addition in a mixed-wood forest of northern China.

abstract：:Clarifying the fundamental adsorption and diffusion process of CO2 on single crystal ZnO surfaces is critical in understanding CO2 activation and transformation over ZnO-based catalysts. By using ultrahigh vacuum-Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (UHV-FTIRS), we observed the fine structures of CO2 vibrational ba...
