Nutritional Value of Biofloc Meal for White Cachama (Piaractus orinoquensis): Effects of Inclusion Level on Digestibility, Growth Performance, and Protein Retention

open access: yesAquaculture, Fish and Fisheries, Volume 6, Issue 4, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Biofloc technology (BFT) offers a sustainable aquaculture strategy; however, the value of its byproduct, biofloc meal (BFM), as a feed ingredient requires validation for key species. This study evaluated the use of BFM from a tilapia–molasses system as a feed ingredient for white cachama (Piaractus orinoquensis) juveniles.

Metal‐Free Protoboration of Dialkyl Ketones: NHC‐Catalyzed Synthesis of α‐Hydroxy Boronate Esters

open access: yesChemistryEurope, Volume 4, Issue 8, August 2026.
The first metal‐free protoboration of unactivated dialkyl ketones is reported using a catalytic N‐heterocyclic carbene and isopropyl alcohol as a mild proton source. This NHC/B2pin2/IPA system delivers α‐hydroxy boronate esters in high yields across a broad substrate scope, with mechanistic studies revealing a concerted nucleophilic borylation pathway ...

Effects of Biochar and Maize Roots on CO2 Emissions and Microbial Biomass C in Loess Soils

open access: yesJournal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science, Volume 189, Issue 4, Page 581-592, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Refractory substances such as biochar and labile substances such as dead fine and coarse roots play important roles in soil organic matter dynamics and have key ecological functions. However, interactions between these substances have only rarely been studied.

Soil Carbon–Nitrogen Pools and Soil Health Across Contrasting Land Uses and a No‐Till Conservation Chronosequence in a Tropical Guinea Savanna Agroecosystem

open access: yesPlant-Environment Interactions, Volume 7, Issue 4, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Soil carbon–nitrogen pools are central to soil health, yet their responses to conservation‐oriented management remain insufficiently quantified in tropical agroecosystems. This study evaluated soil carbon–nitrogen pools, stocks and soil health indicators across conventionally managed arable land (CMA), no‐till‐based conservation systems with 2,

Savanna soil carbon accrual occurs through particulate organic matter from grass rather than tree biomass, regardless of atmospheric CO2 levels

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 8, Page 2532-2547, August 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Afforestation schemes in savannas are increasingly promoted as a carbon storage strategy despite threats to biodiversity. We also lack a clear understanding of how trees and grasses differentially contribute to the major carbon store in savannas, that is, soil organic ...
