Spatio-temporal changes in water-related ecosystem services provision and trade-offs with food production by Shiliang, Yang

“…The results showed that: 1) food production increased from 0.497×108tons to 0.798×108tons despite area of cultivated land decreasing from 23.61×104km2 to 23.40×104km2 during the study period (2000–2015). 2) Water yield and soil retention both showed a downward trend, while nitrogen and phosphorus exports showed an increasing trend, in 2000–2015.3) Food production showed a trade-off relationship with soil retention and water yield, but a synergistic relationship with nitrogen and phosphorus export. …”

Selective adsorption of carbon dioxide, methane and nitrogen using resorcinol-formaldehyde-xerogel activated carbon by Awadallah, Ahmed

“…Adsorption/desorption isotherms of CO2, CH4, and N2 gases onto RF-ACX adsorbent were measured gravimetrically by a magnetic suspension microbalance at five different temperatures (20, 30, 40, 50 and 60 °C) in the pressure range of 0–1 MPa. All adsorption/desorption isotherms were found to be favorable and well correlated with dual site Langmuir’s model. …”
