Biochar‐Induced Shifts in Fungal Community Structure and Their Association With Soil Physical Properties in Degraded Soil From the Brazilian Semiarid

open access: yesLand Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Soil degradation compromises ecosystem functioning. Biochar, a carbon‐rich amendment, has gained attention as a promising strategy to enhance soil structure and restore microbial balance. This study investigated the effects of two biochars, cashew bagasse biochar (CBB) and a co‐pyrolyzed biochar produced from sewage sludge and cashew pruning ...

Winegrowers' Perceptions and Adoption of Sustainable Soil Management Practices and Technologies: A Case Study in Piedmont, Italy

open access: yesLand Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Soil is crucial for human survival but is threatened by erosion and contamination. Farmers play a pivotal role in soil conservation, thus, understanding what influences their decisions is crucial. The IN‐GEST SOIL project aimed to mitigate soil erosion and improve soil and vine quality in Piedmont vineyards, NW Italy.

Compound‐Specific Stable Isotope Analysis Improves the Association Between Dairy Fatty Acid Biomarkers and Dairy Intake: A Secondary Analysis

open access: yesLipids, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Increasing evidence suggests that dairy consumption may decrease the risk of chronic diseases. However, this association remains unclear due to methodological limitations. As a part of a secondary analysis, we used compound‐specific stable isotope analysis to increase the accuracy of the dairy FA biomarkers (15:0, 17:0), considering that each ...

Bio‐Based Microfluidics With Snail Slime: A By‐Product of Agriculture Plays an Exciting Role in the Chemistry of Microfluidic Reaction Chambers

open access: yesMacromolecular Rapid Communications, EarlyView.
Due to a broad spectrum of active ingredients, snail slime presents a variety of exciting physical properties and chemical reactivities. Especially in the role of the reduction‐ and stabilizing agent for the manufacturing of gold nanoparticles, its great potential is revealed. Utilising the proteins found in slime, Nanoparticle‐comprising hydrogels are

Benthic megafauna and the functioning of macroalgal forests and urchin barrens

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
Two temperate rocky reef food‐web models, representing the trophic diversity of the Mediterranean rocky reef communities, were built for the two stable states: macroalgal forests and barren grounds, which are characterized by opposite amounts of erect macroalgal biomass.

Functional diversity in agricultural landscapes: evidence of long‐term clustering and multi‐scale effects of land use on avian communities

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
Functional diversity (FD) is an essential community property connecting biodiversity, ecosystem functioning, and conservation objectives. In agricultural landscapes, avian communities, which play key functional roles, are facing large‐scale biodiversity erosion, largely due to land‐use changes.
