Relationship among Soil Biophysicochemical Properties, Agricultural Practices and Climate Factors Influencing Soil Phosphatase Activity in Agricultural Land
(MDPI, 2024-02-10)
Phosphorus (P) is a vital macronutrient crucial for crop productivity. Plants absorb P salts, mainly orthophosphate, from the soil, yet the primary P source resides in organic materials. Acid and alkaline ...
Effect of different fertilization strategies on nitrogen balance in an outdoor potted crop of Osteospermum ecklonis (DC.) Norl. ‘Purple Red’ under Mediterranean climate conditions
(Instituto Nacional de Investigación y Tecnología Agraria y Alimentaria, 2013-07-15)
Fertilization management and meteorological conditions can affect leachate composition and the balance of nitrogen
(N) added during the cultivation of ornamentals. The main objectives of this study ...
The determination of fertiliser quality of the formed struvite from a WWTP
(IWA Publishing, 2021-04-27)
Struvite from nutrient-rich wastewaters has been identified as a potential substitute for commercial mineral fertilisers, with the added benefit of reducing threats to global food security by prolonging ...
A comparison of isolation methods for black fungi degrading aromatic toxins
(Springer Verlag, 2019-09-29)
The prevalence of black fungi in the order Chaetothyriales has often been underestimated due to the difficulty of their isolation. In this study, three methods which are often used to isolate black fungi ...
Genomic Understanding of an Infectious Brain Disease from the Desert
(Genetics Society of America, 2018-01-11)
Rhinocladiella mackenziei accounts for the majority of fungal brain infections in the Middle East, and
is restricted to the arid climate zone between Saudi Arabia and Pakistan. Neurotropic dissemination ...
Breeding farm, level of feeding and presence of antibiotics in the feed influence rabbit cecal microbiota
(BMC, 2020-11-02)
Background
The effect of the production environment and different management practices in rabbit cecal microbiota remains poorly understood. While previous studies have proved the impact of the age or ...
Pathogenic Yet Environmentally Friendly? Black Fungal Candidates for Bioremediation of Pollutants
(Taylor and Francis, 2016-02-25)
A collection of 163 strains of black yeast-like fungi from the CBS Fungal Biodiversity Center (Utrecht, The
Netherlands), has been screened for the ability to grow on hexadecane, toluene and ...
Fast acquisition of a polysaccharide fermenting gut microbiome by juvenile green turtles Chelonia mydas after settlement in coastal habitats
(BioMed Central, 2018-04-10)
Background: Tetrapods do not express hydrolases for cellulose and hemicellulose assimilation, and hence, the
independent acquisition of herbivory required the establishment of new endosymbiotic ...
Agent-Based Life Cycle Assessment enables joint economic-environmental analysis of policy to support agricultural biomass for biofuels
(Elsevier, 2024-01-20)
Production of agricultural biofuels is expected to rise due to increasing climate change mitigation ambitions. Policy interventions promoting targeted bioenergy solutions can be motivated by the large ...
Global water consumption impacts on riverine fish species richness in Life Cycle Assessment
(Elsevier, 2022-09-13)
Reduced river discharge and flow regulation are significant threats to freshwater biodiversity. An accurate representation of potential damage of water consumption on freshwater biodiversity is required ...
