Supplementation of gilthead seabream (Sparus aurata) diets with spices as a functional strategy to control excess adiposity through lipid, cholesterol and bile acid metabolism, and to induce an immunomodulatory intestinal regulation
(Elsevier, 2023-11-17)
Reductions in fish oil content in aquafeeds can generate physiological and immunological disorders in farmed fish, associated to low dietary levels of n-3 long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (n-3 ...
Use of wood and cork in biofilters for the simultaneous removal of nitrates and pesticides from groundwater
(Elsevier, 2022-12-07)
About 13% and 7% of monitored groundwater stations in Europe exceed the permitted levels of nitrates (50 mg NO3− L−1) or pesticides (0.1 μg L−1), respectively. Although slow sand filtration can remove ...
Improved anaerobic biodegradability of wheat straw, solid cattle manure and solid slaughterhouse by alkali, ultrasonic and alkali-ultrasonic pre-treatment
(Taylor & Francis, 2018-09-07)
Wheat straw and animal wastes are important feedstock for biogas production in Europe. Yet, the high content of lignocellulosic and refractory materials causes the process to be relatively slow. Therefore, ...
Technological reliability of pollutant removal in different seasons in one-stage constructed wetland system with horizontal flow operating in the moderate climate
(Elsevier, 2019-12-17)
The aim of this work was to determine the technological reliability of pollutions removal in different seasons in one-stage constructed wetland system with horizontal flow operating in the conditions ...
The rise of blockchain technology in agriculture and food supply chains
(Elsevier, 2019-07-30)
Blockchain is an emerging digital technology allowing ubiquitous financial transactions among distributed untrusted parties, without the need of intermediaries such as banks. This article examines the ...
Modeling ecotoxicity impacts in vineyard production: Addressing spatial differentiation for copper fungicides
(Elsevier, 2017-10-28)
Application of plant protection products (PPP) is a fundamental practice for viticulture. Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) has proved to be a useful tool to assess the environmental performance of agricultural ...
Impacts of seasonality, drought, nitrogen fertilization, and litter on soil fluxes of biogenic volatile organic compounds in a Mediterranean forest
(Elsevier, 2023-09-27)
Biogenic volatile organic compounds (BVOCs) play critical roles in ecosystems at various scales, influencing above- and below-ground interactions and contributing to the atmospheric environment. ...
The influence of nitrate pollution on elemental and isotopic composition of aquatic and semi-aquatic bryophytes
(Elsevier, 2023-09-09)
Bryophytes can play an important role in key ecosystem processes and represent potential candidates as bioindicators for environmental monitoring programmes. Nitrate (NO3−) pollution poses a growing ...
Role of mycorrhizas and root exudates in plant uptake of soil nutrients (calcium, iron, magnesium, and potassium): has the puzzle been completely solved?
(Wiley, 2023-03-14)
Anthropogenic global change is driving an increase in the frequency and intensity of drought and flood events, along with associated imbalances and limitation of several soil nutrients. In the context ...
