Nitrogen Fertilizer Suppresses Mineralization of Soil Organic Matter in Maize Agroecosystems

open access: yesFrontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2019
The possibility that N fertilizer increases soil organic matter (SOM) mineralization and, as a result, reduces SOM stocks has led to a great debate about the long-term sustainability of maize-based agroecosystems as well as the best method to estimate ...

The Effects of Logging, Fire and Blowdown on Colorado Subalpine Forest Soil [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Disturbance ecology is a growing field within ecology, and while studies of individual and discrete disturbances are increasing in number, there is a paucity of studies on the ecological effects of disturbance interactions.

La biomasa microbiana y la mineralización de N en plantaciones mixtas de frondosas y especies fijadoras de nitrógeno [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Mixed stands with nitrogen fixing secondary species can improve the vigour and the stand environment of the targeted species. The aim of this study was to better understand the effect of the consociation of a N-fixing species (black locust) with a ...

Deciphering Small Molecule Diffusion Parameters Across Light Responsive Polymersome Membranes

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Light‐responsive polymersomes bearing donor–acceptor Stenhouse adducts (DASAs) enable programmable control over small‐molecule transport across synthetic membranes. By systematically varying DASA density, an optimal functionalization regime is identified that maximizes light‐gated permeability.

Bioinspired Stabilization of Fluorescent Au@SiO2 Tracers for Multimodal Biological Imaging

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This study demonstrates a bioinspired stabilization strategy for fluorescent gold‐silica nanoparticles. Inspired by natural biosilica maturation, high‐temperature calcination transforms the silica shells, preventing dissolution in cell culture media and intracellular environments.

Using basalt flour and brown algae to improve biological properties of soil contaminated with cadmium

open access: yesSoil and Water Research, 2015
In order to achieve homeostasis of soil, the potential of alleviating substances (two innovative: basalt flour and brown algae extract against two classic compounds: barley straw and compost) were analyzed in soil contaminated with cadmium.

Biological and microbial activity in biological soil crusts from the Tabernas desert, a sub-arid zone in SE Spain. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
The ecology and functional role of biological soil crusts (BSCs) in arid and semi-arid zones have been extremely well studied. However, little is known about the biochemical properties related to the number and activity of the microbiota that form the ...

THE EFFECT OF SOME MANGANESE SALTS ON AMMONIFICATION AND NITRIFICATION

open access: yesSoil Science, 1916
Manganese occurs in practically all soils, but the quantities present are exceedingly variable. Twenty-six typical soils analyzed by Robinson showed the presence of manganese in amounts varying from 0.01 to 0.51 per cent of MnO. Other studies have shown the occurrence of very large amounts in certain soils, but the average of 0.071 per cent MnO given ...

Photo‐Controlled Antibacterial Drug Release From DASA‐Coated Silica Particles for Improved Treatment of Wound Infections

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Synthesis and characterization of light‐responsive donor–acceptor Stenhouse adducts (DASA)‐coated chlorhexidine‐loaded silica nanoparticles. Such a controllable drug‐delivery system enables the release of the antimicrobial drug on demand and in consecutive cycles, thereby maintaining the concentration within the therapeutic window.
