Ruminant pestiviruses in North Africa
(Elsevier, 2020-09-23)
Ruminant pestiviruses are widely distributed worldwide, causing congenital disease and massive economic losses. Although ruminant production is an important economic sector in North Africa, the knowledge ...
Ripe for reassessment: a synthesis of available molecular data for the speciose diatom family Bacillariaceae
(Elsevier, 2020-10-13)
The Bacillariaceae is a very species-rich family of raphid diatoms and includes the large and taxonomically difficult genus Nitzschia, whose species are often small-celled and finely structured and have ...
A regionalised life cycle assessment model to globally assess the environmental implications of soil salinization in irrigated agriculture
(American Chemical Society, 2020-02-21)
We present a global, locally resolved life cycle assessment (LCA) model to assess the potential effects on soil quality due to the accumulation of water-soluble salts in the agricultural soil profile, ...
